I'm going to tell you why each new fighter in this trailer is fighting the other character. It's all connected son.
First up, Cody.
Chun Li's coming after him because she's interpol, she's doing her yob. And Cody is basically saying fuck da police. What a baller.
Guy fighting Rose. A little trickier.
Rab says Guy's shoes seem to be a clue, they have an "S" on them instead of the nike logo(Capcom sure loves to dodge liscences), a Shadoloo S. Could guy be working for them? Ninja's are for hire, usually.
Or could it be Rose is looking for Guy to beat Bison just like she was looking for Ryu in SF4(If you played her in singleplayer, you'd see it in her rival match.) Guy is sorta the Ryu equivalent of the Final Fight series, i.e. the most well rounded/ well known(but Mike Haggar apparently has more fame on the internets).
Then there's Adon and Sagat.The singleplayer story for Sagat has the intro cutscene with him beating Adon's ass before entering Seth's tourney. Adon's quote in the trailer is "I'll show you just how strong I am!" He's got some revenege to dish out.
T. Hawk smashing El Fuerte. Obviously helping El Fuerte kill himself for being such a shitty character in comparison. And I guess them both being Mexican has something to do with it.
Juri/Bison. Juri is Seth's bitch. She would want to kill the guy Seth wants dead.
Speculation is fun.
At any rate, it seems the story in SSF4 is gonna be better. But I'm sure it's not gonna be at the level SNK puts in their fightans, a lot of those games that I've briefly played have almost RPG level shit in their story. Noice stuff.
And did everyone else notice this is first time we're gonna have characters from every iteration of the series (1, 2, Alpha series, 3[pending confirmation], IV) in one game?
Replayability that always come with fighters, improved netcode(the team is working on making sure everyone sees the matches in real time while spectating. Link here), team battle, lobbies(should've been in SF4-IM-JUST-SAYIN') as well as bonus stages, new stages, new music and two(1 unconfirmed, but very likely) new characters.
Well, actually, Cody is sorta the Ryu equivalent of the Final Fight series, i.e. the most well rounded/ well known/ main character... Oh, and I don't think Guy is working for Shadoloo, he might be a ninja, but he never really did any shady contracts or anything...
I played Final Fight Streetwise too. I got up to the mini-game wher you have to step on giant roaches for a full minute and a half, and I never played it again.
As for speculation, you're right, it is fun. That said, I'm not expecting much from the story of SSF4. I'm hoping we finally get the return of Evil Sakura (who hasn't been seen since, what? SF VS MSH?) and that's about it.
Guy's story will probably be "I was looking to sharpen my Bushin skills!" and Cody's story will probably be "I just can't stop fighting!" and so forth.
good luck on a evil Sakura return. she's not at all canon outside the vs. series.
Cody's probably drifting like he was in Alpha 3. Doesn't want to be bothered in the real world and just wants to fight...probably will give him his Alpha 3 storyline and replace Bison with Seth.
Guy's probably still wondering wtf Cody's doing with his life and wants to find him to once again, try to convince him to get his shit together.
T.Hawk..I unno. who care. Maybe he's mad cause Elf gave him some bad food.
I reeeallly doubt Guy is working for Shadaloo. He always get's on Cody's back about using his abilities for good etc. In fact, in Cody's ending in Alpha 3 the two of them team up to destroy Bison's Psycho Drive.
@de BLOO: Cody got chucked in jail because he couldn't live in peace after taking down the Mad Gears and so got thrown in jail for obvious reasons, nothing to do with anyone else and Haggar refuses to get him out anymore because he just ends up back in prison. He breaks out to go for "walks" every now and then and always comes back after about a week.
Also, Adon is fighting Sagat because he's his ex-muay-thai master and I have a sneaking suspicion Juri is using Psycho Power.
I never said Guy was with shadaloo, just that the S looks like the shadaloo S.
And ehh... It'd be a shame if it was Chun Li as Codys rival. Alot of Rivalries were wasted on her simply as "you're evil, so you're under arrest" and ended up lame and unsatisfying. I get it, she's a cop, but wasn't she sent there for a specific mission? Not to just arrest anybody who doesn't have anything better to do...

But maybe, just maybe I could see it working out just so long as they change everybody else's rival and not just cop-out (no pun intended) on Chun to be arresting people left and right again.
(snipped that last part from my post on the cody thread on srk.)
And I can't say it wouldn't be wierd if T.Hawk was actually Fuertes Rival. It'd be like a "Who's got more brownpride" type of deal.

VENUSAUR!!! 
Seriously though, Guy is a doucher. Cody took the fall for him, and it landed him the slammer: Chun Li's a total bitch.
Anyway in it, Cody is framed for something Poison did. Edi E. takes his ass to jail. And seriously...why wouldn't Mike Haggar get him out?

Dee Jay just wants to fight.
Juri's a bodyguard...run with it lol.

Poison frames him the first time, then he takes the rap for Guy.
