The official Japanese site has been updated with the details of the first of the new characters T. Hawk and newcomer Juri.
Meanwhile, Gamespot has posted an interview with producer Yoshinori Ono with important details about SSFIV.
- SSFIV will be released on a disc, and won't be available as DLC (Downloadable Content) — but the game will be priced as an upgrade — not a brand new title.
- They're thinking of adding around "8-ish" characters to the game. (Recent rumours have pegged this at 10).
- More features to the online modes are planne including changes so that people can enjoy playing as a larger group (likely referring to lobbies).
- Existing characters will received tweaks and balancing.
- Bonus Stages aren't 100% confirmed, but very likely.
- You won't need the original disc to play this update, but those who have a copy of SFIV will be, "happy to have held on to it," as they'll be receiving something nifty.
- Juri is a Korean Tae Kwan Do fighter and is very important to the storyline.
- They skipped "Champion Edition" and "Turbo" and jumped straight to "Super" for the name of this upgrade because of the scale and size of what they're planning.
- Tentative spring 2010 release date.
EDIT:
Just found some off screen gameplay footage.
