Street Fighter Alpha Anthology Guide

screw this guide, its all about kamui’s wcw vs raw wrestling guides.

Dr.D: re: damage values

O I C. THat makes me a sad panda. It’s nice to not have to be able to turn on the PS2 and go into training mode just to find out the damage of, say, R.Mika’s c.LP. :frowning:

I’ll still get the guide though. I love me SF guide books.

BTW, when you said:

Er, shouldn’t that be the other way around? :expressionless:

I looked through the guide, it looks pretty decent from the short time I got to read it. Wont be able to pick it up until friday. I did laugh at the fact that the guide implied that Ken couldnt produce offense very effectively in Gem Fighter.

I got the guide today, overall its pretty good, but one big letdown is the lack of any info on the extra chars like DeeJay, FeiLong etc… and nothing about the new ISMs.
Its still worth to get if you can overlook these flaws.

Fixed! I don’t sleep much!

I also got the guide today and I love it. As someone more fluent on A1 and A2 then A3, to me this guide is fantastic as there is more A3 coverage then the other ones. I love the complete summary of V-ism tactics and the guide isn’t afraid to tell you some game-breaking tactics that previous Brady guides were scared to show. Thanks to the authors for writing this.

Guide is great, thanks Kamui!

Thanks for the guide man! Helped me find out about Color Edit in every game, how to unlock and play Cammy in SFA2 Gold and the best/closest to arcade version of each game. I can see the guide was done out of labor and love for our community. Thank you so much! :tup:

Thanks a million for the guide. Saves me a lot of time. :wgrin:

I bought it and I do not regret passing up the Versus guide back in the day one bit.

I might as well get one for my girlfriend as well.

Mad fucking props for this guide, wow holy shit.

I dunno man, that Versus A2 guide was pretty hot. I mean, it was 256 pages dedicated to ONE game. I managed to get one many years after the fact and am glad I did. Having the Z2 Gamest mook and All About SFZ2 book is nice as well :lol:

Back then, I only had a SNES and sought no value in getting a guide for something that I will not able to afford to play within a generation and I recalled that the SNES version of Alpha 2 stunk horibly since I played for a good bit. Money was tight since I was in middle school at the time.

It was an awsome book, from what I heard, but it had no value for me, at the time. Now reading from the SFAA guide, I want to find the Versus book as well and this seems to be great reading.

Only if Brady Games made DVD guides, now that would be a business venture.

I had plenty of chances to get the A2 Versus book back in the day and regret that I did not do so at the time. I kept thinking, “I have time.” Of course the book promptly vanished and I didn’t get one until a couple of years ago when Chocobo on #capcom picked one up for me. The information contained within would have opened my eyes to higher level SF play a lot earlier.

You sure? It’s an excellent book, and a piece of Street Fighter history…

Well I do want it but I cannot afford to spend much more money since I already bought the two versions of SFZFG/SSFAA, the guide, saturn controller, BBnavigator, not to mention some other stuff like NSMB and PS2 Treasure Box.

You know how it is for our hobby :wink:

I had the SFA2 VS book as well, that was book was amazing and no strat guide hasn’t even come close to that book since then.

The SFAC strat guide is good, but i think the SFAA strat guide will be better than that one.

I would like to purchase the A2 Versus guide. I know that it isn’t in print but is there anywhere I can try to look for it? eBay didn’t seem to have it at all.

Same. My lil’ cousin got a hold of my A2 guide way back when and tore the thing apart. I’d love to get my hands on a mint copy.

I just ordered my guide. I’m a manager at blockbuster, get employee discount, and this is even cheaper:)
