A great book that covers all you need to know about Street Fighter 2 including the spinoffs, and even the movie! Lotsa tidbits and due to being unofficial, it is not beholden to IP owner of Street Fighter so there is some tensions underneath it all particularly who gets credit for what。 The writing style is just a dictation of people's interview with some editing and the narrative is based on each game。 No great prose or even quotable quotes, so a minus there。 If you have memories of Street Figh A great book that covers all you need to know about Street Fighter 2 including the spinoffs, and even the movie!
