Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has laid out a few of his plans for the upcoming Super Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) in a recent interview with Japanese gaming mag Famitsu. Among these is an expanded focus on online play.

Said Ono, the Super staff is currently looking for ways to replicate the excitement of arcade tourneys even when you’re playing at home. One of the things he’s interested in is the addition of live online match viewing. Further tweaks to SFIV‘s replay viewer are also planned.

He also revealed that Juri won’t be the only totally new character in Super. There will also be other newcomers apart from the returning characters, and they may even make use of some “surprising fighting styles”.

On the DLC side, Ono said that gamers won’t have to re-buy the costumes that were slowly trickled out for Street Fighter IV when they get Super. It also looks like there will be more costumes on the way.
