About the core changes:
GENERAL REBALANCE OF THE ROSTER, WITHOUT NERFING THE TOP TIERS: the CRE philosophy is to fine tune the low/mid tiers as much as possible without alienating the player base, while avoiding to nerf the top tiers too much. People used to the top tiers will not see much difference but people used to the low/mid tiers will notice their characters simply "play better".
NEW COMBOS: a number of normal moves are now special-cancelable to enable more combo possibilities, specially among the low/mid tiers.
OPTIMIZED NORMAL/SPECIAL MOVES: better hitboxes, framedata and priorities to a lot of normals/specials to make them more efficient in their functions.
NO MORE CHEAP INFINITE COMBOS: there's no way to rebalance SF2CE wihtout getting rid of some cheap infinite combos. There are still possibly infinite combos in the game but it will be no easy task to pull them off.
NO BONUS STAGES IN 2 PLAYER MODE: to avoid resetting the game during a set and breaking the match's pace. Bonus Stages are still present in 1 player mode though.
STAGE SELECTION IN 2 PLAYER MODE: now it's possible to select the stage on the fly, in a 2-players game. The code for each stage is as follows:
.Ryu stage: press START + LP
.Honda stage: press START + MP
.Blanka stage: press START + HP
.Guile stage: press START + LK
.Ken stage: press START + MK
.Chun Li stage: press START + HK
.Zangief stage: press START + Up + LP
.Dhalsim stage: press START + Up + MP
.Balrog stage: press START + Up + HP
.Vega stage: press START + Up + LK
.Sagat stage: press START + Up + MK
.Bison stage: press START + Up + HK
The codes must be entered right after the char selection during the character selection screen. Both players can perform the above codes. If each player chooses different stages, the priority goes to P1.
CORNER BUG GONE: an old bug exploit where the controls get messed up at the screen corners. CRE doesn't have this bug.
SILENT ELEPHANTS ON DHALSIM'S STAGE: a simple and welcome QoL change.
NEW COLORS FOR SOME CHARS AND STAGES: some chars got new colors for variation sake. Also, some stages were recovered from the original SF2 World Warrior, and some of them got brand new colors.
BUG FIXES: a lot of minor bugs like Dhalsim taking air combos, wrong sounds for certaing moves and misplaced sprites are now fixed (check out specific char pages for more details).
