Now this is more like it!

This is NOT the indepth exploration into the game changing sensation that is Street Fighter that I've been wanting and expecting - but it's pretty damn close!

First off, the first 100 pages or thereabouts, is merely artwork - but EXCEPTIONAL artwork! But it's followed by an interview with the Capcom team that tells you more about the development of the game than any other publication previous. Followed by a game by game break down of how the franchise developed and what the team hoped to achieve with each installment. What I especially appreciated is the book includes hints, tips and tricks for people who actually play the games! So many books forget who they're aimed at. This doesn't!

Followed by a full page profile for each fighter that has appeared in EVERY game! That's a lot of fighters! Concluded with more artwork and yet another retrospective interview.

I'm kinda STILL waiting for the definitive Street Fighter celebration publication to arrive, maybe my standards are too high, but until that day, THIS is the BEST Street Fighter book I've ever read!

Artbook yang keren namun terkesan setengah hati. Beberapa gambar terlalu kecil, beberapa malah memenuhi satu halaman. Tapi secara keseluruhan sangat lengkap, mulai dari SF1 sampai SFIII 3rd Strike.
