It started awhile back when Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono stated that models and move data for T. Hawk and Dee Jay were made, but not included in SFIV.
Recently rumors have been popping up about "Street Fighter IV Dash." (Named for Street Fighter II' [note the apostrophe], the version we in the west call Champion Edition) These were all "I heard from a friend of a friend at Capcom" rumors, but the sources were reputedly reliable. Then last week, Capcom's official SF blog posted that TGS was a week away and there might be something concrete about a certain "continuation."
Yesterday, there was this posted from Gamepro Germany. If you look closely on the monitor you can see T. Hawk, and on the poster behind whoever that guy on the right is (the Japanese guy on the left is Ono), you can see a big gray "S" behind the Street Fighter IV logo. "S" for "Super." Capcom said they'll have something for us "Maybe Monday."
Today, this happened. It's counting down to 3am PST Tuesday. This is all but confirmation.
Now onto the rumor mill!
Super Street Fighter IV has been rumored to have TEN NEW CHARACTERS, eight returning from previous Street Fighters and two new ones.
From Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay and T. Hawk
From Street Fighter 3: Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto
From Street Fighter Alpha: Adon, Cody and Guy
New characters: Hakan, an Arabian grappler; and Juri, a girl working for Seth
TWO ultras for each character, plus the super; Gen will have four ultras and Sakura will get an additional shinkuu hadouken super. Some characters get air ultras.
BONUS STAGES RETURN
"Tandan [tandem?] saving," presumably a multiple focus attack. 'Saving' is the Japanese term for focus attack.
The game takes place a year after Street Fighter IV.
The game will be an arcade release for a limited period before being ported to consoles. Console exclusive characters for Street Fighter IV will appear in the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV; this is just my wishful thinking but I hope that the console version of SSFIV has some exclusive characters. A whole lot of people, myself included, have been clamoring for Karin to join the cast.
Some more technical details regarding specific characters, if you're interested:

Some more technical details regarding specific characters, if you're interested:
Zangief has an aerial 720 ultra called "Siberian Blizzard"
Guile has his sonic hurricane
Dhalsim's new ultra is called "Yoga Shangri'la"
Makoto has tanden renki as her super
Cody has his knife (necessary for one of his ultras) and is the only alpha character with an alpha counter
There might be some changes to some characters' supers; as stated earlier everyone's supposed to get one super, but new metsu shoryuken (for Akuma?), Chun Li's kikosho super fireball, denjin (electric) hadouken for Gouken, and tiger cannon for Sagat have been listed as supers
Ibuki has a run command
Dudley has his chain combos, plus an additional one (I think that there were 9, so 10 in SFIV)
Guy has his chain combos
Rufus can cancel-break the last hit of his Spectacle Romance, or the launch kick of Space Opera Symphony
Dudley will be searching for a rose (I hope he can still taunt-throw roses)
T. Hawk's storyline will involve protecting Juli or Juni, from Alpha
