What a challenge! How do you turn some of the most iconic and well-designed videogame characters of all time into 3D equivalents without compromising the style?
Capcom show us how:
Stylish!
Facial Animation!
Dramatic!
Yep, it all just goes to prove that it’s not the size of the tool it’s how you wield it. All we’ve got here are polygons, normal maps, some textures, and lighting - just like every other PS3 and XBox360 game - but with an added extra pinch of talent. Actually, lots of talent.

Still maintains the feel of the 2D SF2 fighting but looks beautiful. 
and looks like the best kind of 2D to 3D conversion where they’ve done it without messing with the game mechanics. 
Cool video showing it in action –> Street Fighter IV - Arcade gameplay
It looks like they have kept the gameplay as simple and brilliant as SF2 without dicking around with the mechanics, opting instead to just make it look completely amazing! The still action shots look like paintings!
