Azrael, who's done a ton of translating for the community, has converted the most recent Japanese Super Street Fighter 4 blog developer post to English.

This is a large entry with a lot of details, so here's a quick summary Azrael typed up giving the gist of what the development team had to say.

• More "community" feel than the last game.
• All multiplayer lobbies will have the ability to spectate matches.
• Working to "preserve" the quality of the netcode from SFIV even with spectators.
• Can use Fight Request while you wait for all members of a team battle.
• For a private team match, the host can divide up the teams. Otherwise, it's done automatically.
• Auto team placement uses Player Points as well as some randomness.
• Voice chat available while watching a match.
• Endless Battle has no effect on Battle Points/Player Points.
• In Ranked, Battle Points is divided up into BP/PP - PP will be your overall score, while BP will be character specific.
• In Ranked, you can upload a replay after 3 straight wins.
• Blind character select for all network modes, including no cursor motion sound.
• Preset comments available for entering a lobby.

Im happy they are putting so much thought into the game because online play has gotten so blah with 1v1. I would really like to put together a team... even for dallas.

Blind character sections for all modes fuck yes !

Old.  You could have at least read the article and posted highlights, not just copy paste the summary on the website.
Seth Killian said that the "preserve" translation was wrong, what they meant was just keeping the match the same for all players with spectators without lag. Only way they can do it is by lagging the spectators stream by a few secs, but that messes up the voice chat, so there working to 'preserve' that.  
The presets are their instead of actual chat, as the don't trust people, same with the motion sound, people abuse it.
 
If you want some new stuff, brand new in depth game play videos  http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2009/nov/14/new-ssf4-gameplay-movies-gamespot/ .
