It looks like to celebrate the 15th anniversary. Capcom will realease another book with a ton of artwork and history
Link Here
Er... yea, this book has been out for a while. In fact, I've had it in my possession for a week, now^^;
On the very first page of the book, you're greeted with an absolutely fabulous timeline of the release of the various Street Fighter games, with the REALLY NOTICEABLE HUMONGOUS FOUR YEAR GAP OF NOTHINGNESS FROM 1999 TO THE PRESENT DAY.
It's kinda freaky how there's like a gajillion artworks for Street Fighter two, a lot of artwork for Street Fighter Alpha 2, then practically NO artwork for Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. ...Capcom just doesn't seem to put the effort into things that it used to.
Oh yea, and to top things off, the book ends with interviews with the designers of Street Fighter, and if you can read Japanese, you'll find that there is no new Street Fighter game in the planning or in the works and that AT BEST, Capcom will make one for Street Fighter's 20th anniversary. Which is five years from now! And also by then 50% of Street Fighter's entire existance time on Earth will have elapsed since the last new Street Fighter game!
This book just gives me a really big feel-good feeling. And by feel-good I mean feel-like-crap.
But at least some of the artworks are interesting. There's no SFA3 Advance artwork and thus no Maki for some reason, though.

Oh, that's big let down. No real game developement and also no real new artwork. I thought it would be something pretty good. It's a shame that we have this 15th anniversary and not much in the way for it. (Game wise) I am still pretty excited about the gashapons that will come out for the 15th anniversary

There might be some artwork in it that's new to you if you haven't seen it somewhere else already. But I believe you can find 80% of the artworks on the net if you look hard enough (though some of it will take quite some hard looking). But... the majority of the 'rare' art pieces in this thing I've discovered are old Street Fighter 2 arts that somehow didn't find their way to the net. If you're looking for SFA3 arts or Street Fighter Third Strike arts that you've never seen before, don't expect to find any in this book. For example, all Double Impact and beyond SF3 characters literally only have two pieces of art for them in their character sections. I am now convinced that actual offical full-body pics of Juni and Juli do not exist (not including them being seen on various cover arts, and even then, it's not exactly very good resolution)
What you might find interesting, however, are a myriad of SF2 artworks such as one of Shadaloo's island base, one of M. Bison (dictator) in his quarters without his hat while some pretty girl that's wearing it is leaning on him, and 50 bajillion SF2 pics of Chun-Li. Course, then depression sinks in once again when you realize that SF2 was like, 10+ years ago and that Capcom apparently hasn't made any interesting artworks like those for any of its later games (or if they did, they aren't in this book)

Wow, I'm actually posting something after just reading for so long.... Yoroshiku. ^^;
Does this book have much more art than the Capcom Illustrations book that came out umpteen years ago? Obviously it has post-SFZ1 art... and that may be the answer to my question. ^^; But as far as SFZ-and-before art, is there anything in here that wasn't in that book?
Er... I don't have Capcom Illustrations so I'm not too sure about that^^; Funnily enough, I know several people that have Capcom Illustrations, and several people that have Street Fighter Eternal, but don't know many that have both at all.
But there really aren't any new post SFZ arts that you can't find at say, gamegen.com, already. For example, the ONLY SFZ3 artwork in this thing is stuff that you can already get from the games, or stuff that's been made for the cover art of said games. ...with some exceptions of some R. Mika art of all things (though you can get that at gamegen, I believe).
Did Capcom Illustrations have a lot of strange SF2 art?
Did Capcom do the art for the GBA Advance game or did Crawfish do that art? I thought it was Capcom that did it but I never really did look into it too much. Ah well, whatever the case, it isn't in this book and even if it was, I imagine it wouldn't be anything new that you could get from the net, already ^^;

About your sig, it leads to an error, since you can't directly link to a FAQ in there...
Yea, I know. Thanks for the consideration, though^^ You're supposed to copy and paste it. Guess I should add that disclaimer or something (typically, the boards where I use that sig don't have html by default so people automatically copy and paste the thing anyways so sometimes I forget that in boards that do have automatic html)
[EDIT]
....okay, it looks like you can't copy and paste any more, either. ...what the hell? GREEEEAAAAT. Now it's going to be a really big pain for me whenever I want to access any faq since I have to follow a big string of links to get to them. Sigh-_- Blah, evil gamefaqs. Time to change my sigs in all my message boards, then.
[EDIT 2]
...okay, where the heck did my plot guide go? It used to be located in the coin-op misc genre section. Except apparently now there IS no coin-op misc genre section. O_o
