What does this mean? Eternal Challenge is an SF character artbook. Is Udon going to translate it and publish it in the US? If so, that's excellent. I actually have this but I would certainly buy it again just to read the text!

Yeah, itīs a translation.
What scares me is: are they going to use Shotokan, Cammy and Bison as lovers, Poison as a woman, Zangief as hetero and so on?
That would suck total ass.
The whole point of those books is giving solid info on the games. If they use the american version of the plot, it will basically be useless to the fans.

I don't believe Zangief as homosexual is even mentioned in the Japanese SF Eternal. Only source I know of that states it is The Official SF2 Fanbook.

Correct. Eternal Challenge is just an artbook with a set of artist comments/interview at the end.
The book is worth it because a lot of illustrations that were only available as half/quarter page in other artbooks are full page now, including some of my favorite Chun Li art.

Were you able to read it? I can't read Japanese (plot guide is put together from people who CAN read Japanese) and I always wondered at just how much storyline information the book contained, anyways. After all, it was marketted mainly as an artbook, not a storyline fanbook or whatever you'd call them. The most I heard about regarding storyline in that book was Saiki mentioning that it contained "nothing that we didn't know, already" besides saying that Hugo came from Final Fight (but without saying Hugo was an Andore. Yeeeehaw!).

I was unable to read it for the simple fact that I cannot read Japanese, but I have the book (got it in the same week it got released in AX), and it is an artbook just like many others: tons of illustrations with a small text-based material at the end.
The book that is purely based on information is All About Capcom. I was able to see the book as well, but considering I buy books for their illustrations more than anything else, I skipped it.

I was wondering what all that text crap in each of the game sections was as well as the character moves sections, but I imagine it all probably had more to do with gameplay systems than storyline.
