\"FIGHT1\"<\/a>There are some folks out there who are really into fighting games.\u00a0 I mean, REALLY into fighting games.\u00a0 Heck, people have big publicized fighting game competitions every year, that\u2019s how big it is.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re one of those types who are really into fighting games, or if you want to get that way, then BradyGames has you covered with their Ultra Street Fighter IV Official Bible.\u00a0 This guide, based on the new iteration of Capcom\u2019s flagship fighter, is written for pros, by pros.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a quick look and see what you\u2019ll find inside.<\/p>\n

First of all, this book is thick.\u00a0 Like, twice the size of an average strategy guide book!\u00a0 The first part of the book is a lengthy glossary of all the terms they used in the guide and in fighting games in general.\u00a0 It also lists facts like every character\u2019s movement speeds, and much more!\u00a0 The rest of the book features information and moves for each of the game\u2019s fighters.\u00a0 Everyone from Abel to Zangief.\u00a0 We\u2019ll take a closer look at the pages featuring my favorite Street Fighter character: Cammy.<\/p>\n

\"FIGHT2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back when my good friend and I were teenagers, Street Fighter II in arcades was huge.\u00a0 My friend was really good at it, but I was awful.\u00a0 The first time I saw the joystick and six buttons, I thought, \u201cHow can I do that?\u00a0 I only have five fingers!\u201d\u00a0 When Super Street Fighter II came out, it included some new characters, including Cammy. \u00a0When my friend and I first tried it, I picked Cammy and actually beat my friend for the first time!\u00a0 Yeah, I know you could say I won because my friend wasn\u2019t familiar with the new characters.\u00a0 But hey, just let me have my victory, OK?\u00a0 So that\u2019s why Cammy is my favorite character in that game.\u00a0 Plus she looks cool, has a neat storyline, and wears a cool hat.<\/p>\n

So anyway, not only does this book show every character\u2019s moves, special attacks, and combos, it also shows the hit boxes and hurt boxes for every frame.\u00a0 These boxes show where exactly each character takes and dishes out damage.\u00a0 It also shows the damage of each move, the speed at which it is executed, and much more!\u00a0 Also you\u2019ll read about each fighter\u2019s history, advantages, disadvantages, and all that good stuff.<\/p>\n

\"FIGHT3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last couple of pages has a code for a digital online version of the same guide, as well as an ad for an app you can download to your tablet that shows you the frames of animation for all the characters!\u00a0 So it\u2019s clear that this guide was written for only pros in mind.\u00a0 My only problem with the guide is that the print and pictures are rather small, but then, I guess they had to do that since the guide is pretty thick as it is!\u00a0 And the Southern Baptist in me doesn\u2019t like how it\u2019s called the \u2018Official Bible,\u2019 but then, it\u2019s just a strategy guide for a game so no need to get all persnickety about that, I guess.\u00a0 Also keep in mind that this guide is designed for a T rated game.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re a pro who is really competitive and serious about your fighting games, you\u2019ll definitely want to get this guide!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
