> Also cool to think about would be AI-vs-AI street fighter competitions.
That's a fun idea. Provide an editor for the AI script files so you can program your own AI, then inject that into the ROM and pit AIs against each other.

In terms of FGs, you would store the relevant game state as inputs and build a reward function around health, time, damage done etc. A relatively simple (and useful!) SFII AI would be one that tries to win by only using crouching medium kick, sweep and throw.
if (distanceBetweenChars() < THRESHOLD) then
chooseAppropriateMove(distanceBetweenChars())
end
Here's a demo of one that reads the distance between characters and either dashes in and does a low attack, or attempts to throw you.

It's pretty simple to have this script run for Player 1 and Player 2.
In a competitive environment (ie. when you have AI vs AI) the players involved would need to agree on certain limitations, otherwise it would be pretty simple to build an AI that reacts "instantly" to stimuli.
