East Asia: Festival at the Old Temple
Since there finally is a character from Korea (Juri), Capcom felt it was a good idea to create a stage set there. The stage takes place on the crowded streets of a Korean market, full of interesting onlookers and vibrant colors. The most notable of the background characters are a large man holding a briefcase, and an old couple holding hands enjoying the fight. There are even actual vendors on the streets, akin to the Crowded Downtown stage in SFIV.
Notable fights: Crimson Viper vs. Hakan Ibuki vs. Sakura

North America: Skyscraper Under Construction
With several of the new characters (Cody and Guy) making their original appearance in Final Fight, the new stage, Metro City, is a proper home court for them to battle in. Set atop an oil rig/construction site area with a nice view of Metro City in the background, you can make out important landmarks such as the Mike Haggar statue holding up the city's name. Other characters make a cameo appearance in this stage, such as Hugo (from Final Fight and Street Fighter III), donning a construction hat and a large beam over his shoulder.

South Asia: Exciting Street Scene
While there are no "character-specific" stages in Street Fighter IV, this stage seems heavily geared towards Dhalsim, seeing as he is from India. His wife and staple elephants from his original Street Fighter II stage make an appearance in the background, and the elephants will fall down if a large impact is made in the fight.
