It may be worth noting that the book isn’t a complete collection of concept art. While it contains concept art that hasn’t been posted on CFN, CFN also has concept art that wasn’t used in the book.
The weirdest instance is Cody. The book has so little Cody concept art, yet there are two pieces on CFN that didn’t make it into the book. (Cody wearing a policeman’s uniform over his prison outfit, Cody in blood-spattered prison garb with a bag over his head and wearing a noose)
Somewhat weird are DLC outfit variations. CFN has multiple articles that include numerous variations of outfits for certain characters. The book includes all the variations for some characters, but for others only contains the final version.
CFN has Menat concept art from before she even looked like Menat. So the book doesn’t have any of the concepts where she was a white girl with red hair. Pizza delivery girl, Italian delinquent, stage magician, card magician (the last incarnation would have tried to have killed Rose)…
While it has several discarded Sakura concepts, the book is missing Sakura as a mountain climbing guide.

Wait kinda doing some googling and the wiki said it’s a like the war god in forgotten worlds, kinda weird for Zeku and Guy to consistently reference it?
I hope I could find a decent resolution of that in Zeku back

Actually, All About SFZ1 mentions Bushinryu Ninjitsu being a military group 550 years before SFZ1.
From the same book, right? Interesting. I wonder if there’s anything about the Dolls.
Weird that in Nash’s section, they didn’t published Nash’s wounded body after being attacked by the chopper…

Not weird at all. The bosses name is Bushin or War God

Wow that kinda surprise me that they worship a video game boss as a god literally.
Interesting coincidentally P2 will encounter Guy in modern day times lol.
So now I wonder is the forgotten worlds version of “war god” a recreation representation of the one they worship or it is the actual one that manifest as the boss in that game. lol
Cool, essentially Bushin Ryu is war ninjutsu
Kinda fitting considering that despite the lack of weapon (ingame) it seem a pretty open face to face style
I mean it seem to avoid lot of indirect classic sneaky/evasive ninja stuff, in favor of taijutsu
Guy on particular is’nt much different from Ryu and his ansatsuken, if we don’t count hado they both rely on straight punchkickyourface martial art, just with different styles
The difference stand out a lot next to Ibuki’s style
Is also worth notice Zeku creating the Striders is starting what is essentially a ninja militar group
Guy-Zeku take on and destroy enemy directly
Ibuki more tricks spy/infiltration style
Claw feel all about sneak assassination lol
Make sense BR are the “warriors” of capcom ninjas
The devs coined the name Bushin ryu from the boss of Forgotten Worlds who’s name is Bushin. Akiman stated himself.
Its on the back of Zeku’s coat to pay homage to that fact.
Well, it was made around 500 or more years ago during times of constant war.

I’m loving the scans from the book, but I looked at 'Rog and ouuuuuuch the monkey costume alt…someone needs to be smacked for making that.
Speaking of Alts, I liked the cowbow cloak one for Guile, would love to see that one make it in. Also the bomber jacket one would’ve been a nice look also.

Smacking them would be too kind. I’d say a dozen punches from Anthony “Rumble” Johnson should suffice.

Yep someone needs to be fired for that racist shit. Dudley balrog looks pretty cool tho. Shame he is unlikely to be im this game though I hope Im wrong.
Also Spike Spiegel Rashid is pretty cool. There were better concept designs out there Imo like “Azam-H” design
