As the name obviously implies, this is a tribute to the many fighting games released by Capcom. There is a mixture of professional and amateur artists, and the book covers some of Capcoms more obscure titles. Titles like Rival Schools, Cyberbots, and Knights of the Round. The great thing about books like this is the sheer amount of artists included. Every time you turn the page you get a brand new artist and a wildly different art style from the page before. Sure, not every piece is a winner, but there are some that are really fantastic and even more that are creative and funny. I mean where are else will you find an image of Ryu trimming Guile's hair by doing a dragon punch?
