The game would be completely different if they did that, and it would have just disappointed Street Fighter purists. If this idea was implemented into a different mode, then not that many people would actually play it in favor of the current HD Remix mode. There already is an Original mode, and that's going to get a lot of play by a lot of serious players. In the end, it really would not have benefited Capcom at all. Also, delaying this game any more would not be a good idea, since it is supposed to hype people up for Street Fighter IV.

I played the game (PS3 version) for several hours last night, and I must say that I'm impressed. There are a ton of changes to the characters, some more than others, so I had a blast just testing what aspects were different compared to their original versions. Moves were added, priorities were changed, motions were altered for the better, etc. Really great stuff. The sprites and colors are sharp and vibrant. I know it took a very long time to get the sprites the way they are, especially with all of the community feedback that was received, so I really appreciate the effort put into them. The artwork in this game is fantastic, especially for the endings. I just wish there was an art gallery mode that could have been included in the game so these pictures could be easily accessed. Oh well, I'm sure some people will capture them and upload them to various sites on the Internet. The music is awesome. Some songs from BotA would not have been good as songs used in a fighting game for various reasons (even though they're great on their own as remixes), so I can see why they were not included. However, every song is this game suits its respective stage perfectly. Street Fighter II has one of my favorite video game soundtracks because it has so many nice tunes, but there were the occasional songs that I never really cared for. E. Honda's music was never really my cup of tea, but I really enjoy his stage's remix in this game. The same goes for Chun Li's music. I wish there was a full version of each song available in the game that could be turned on or off as an option, but I think that might be too much to ask for (except for the songs that already have full versions like Sixto's Ken remix on BotA). You guys should really be proud of yourselves for putting together such an amazing soundtrack for a major video game company like Capcom. I hope more work goes your way because you guys did a better job than some of Capcom's internal sound teams have done in recent times for their remakes (with Mega Man Maverick Hunter X being the most disappointing, music-wise). Congrats.
