"Street Fighter Eternal Challenge"
, posted Fri 23 Jul 22:17
A friend of mine is big into comic books and gets this comics preview catalog each month so he can order books directly instead of scouring the store shelves. I myself am not really into comics but enjoy looking through the catalog and seeing all the weird/cool stuff on sale. While looking through this months catalog I noticed something called Street Fighter Eternal Challenge.
Apparently SFEC is a special 'All About Street Fighter' style book being issued in conjunction with SF's 15th anniversary. The book is supposed to be 270 pages long and packed full of art, character bios, and game info. The whole thing is translated into English and contains a special section dealing the SF series in North America. The catalog lists the price of SFEC as $33.00.
I'm really interested in getting this but am hesitant to burn the money on something I don't even get the chance to page through (my friend states his comic book store wouldn't get one in unless he orders it). I can only assume SFEC was released in Japan already - does anyone know anything about it? Is it worth the money or is it just a rip off??

I have the Japanese version, and the book is VERY worth the money. It is not an artwork-only book, but the artwork that is shown is mostly full page and the selection is good. The other sections, like the one that shows the different designs of every character in the SF universe, are interesting too.

As another owner of the Japanese edition, I'll second that. Assuming that Udon plan to translate the articles and interviews into English, and that the reproduction/printing quality of the artwork is held to a high standard, the English-language edition should be worth it, too.

The american one is not out, so the only way your question would make sense is if you´re looking for the japanese one:

Yeah I'll definitely pick it up since if it sells well Udon will consider releasing english editions of the All About books. I wonder if the infamous "no new Street Fighter until the 20th anniversary" line will be in the English version... or if that's change since Okamoto and Funamizu left.

Based on the positive feedback I went ahead and asked my friend to order it to me. Apparently, the catalog is for stuff way in the future - the damn thing won't be out until October!!
