Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1RFXHAE2PQ5KS This book is actually much better than I thought. Probably because I'm looking at them in full size instead of the small web images I found on the Internet.

It has a very satisfying thickness at 320 pages. The dust jacket is smooth, nice to touch, non-glossy over a soft cover. The paper stock is thick matte and the colour reproduction is wonderful.

Hundreds of artists have come together to contribute Street Fighter art for the book. As a result, the variety in terms of style is amazing. Some of the styles included are manga, realistic caricature, chibi, game art, vector and many other.

I've read of artists who blogged about their work being rejected. I can understand why because the quality of artwork in this book is very high.

UDON has also allowed artists to promote their work on their individual blogs. Over the past few months, I've seen a lot of artists blogging about their art and the book. It's really great to finally see the book in print.

This art book belongs to the you-can-enjoy-it-even-if-you're-not-a-Street-Fighter-fan category.

It's well worth every single cent I spent, and I'm not a Street Fighter fan.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

This book is visual candy and has art that everyone can enjoy

I'm a Street Fighter nut, and I love what UDON has done with the property. I've bought their other Street Fighter books so this was a no-brainer for me. But I was pleasantly surprised to find myself REALLY enjoying this book. The art in this collection is from professionals and fans alike. Variation is the name of the game. Every art style imaginable is present here. And even the most obscure characters are represented, and the obscure characters are my favorites so I very much appreciated that. People who don't even know Street Fighter can't seem to put this book down.
As for the book itself, it is as high quality as high quality can be. Nice, thick paper. Strong binding. A great slipcover(featuring amazing cover art to boot).
Bottom line: If you're a Street Fighter fan, buy this. If you're a fan of art, buy this. If you're neither, what the hell are you doing reading this review?

Breath taking art for a classic game.

I've only looked at half of the book and it's already worth the price of admission. If you were ever a fan of the games, you need to buy this book. A lot of great art ranging the ultra realistic to ultra cute. They have got a wide range of styles and all the characters get their just dues. Just buy the book!

Brilliant art and fond memories

Customer Rating:
Few video game franchises have both the history and relevance of Street Fighter today. It's truly timeless, with so many incarnation sparking so many different emotions for so many different people.

This book captures that feeling perfectly. It's a blend of gorgeous artwork and raw emotion. Some of the artists clearly have a passion for Street Fighter and most have very strong nostalgia for the series.

This is perfect for anyone's library or coffee table. And if you're any kind of Street Fighter fan, you owe it to yourself to snag a copy.
