It's a great book except that Round 6 occurs twice and Round ...
Those other reviews are right. It's a great book except that Round 6 occurs twice and Round 7 is totally left out. Part of Round 8 is also missing. I'm willing to change it to 5 stars if I could get a replacement copy that doesn't have those flaws. As you can see in the photo, Round 8 comes directly after Round 6. There is nothing in between. UPDATE: I contacted the folks at Udon Entertainment and they sent me a replacement copy free of charge. Thank you. Now about the story itself, I thought it was pretty good. The artwork in each chapter looks really nice. Each chapter is comprised of a fight between two characters. This book seems like it would mostly captivate hardcore Street Fighter players so I think I can understand why non Street Fighter players wouldn't be interested. It gives you detailed description of their appearances as if you don't already know how they look like and it describes the moves they do in great detail. When a move is described, you realize what move it is and you say to yourself, "Hey! He's doing his Ultra Combo I." It actually goes deeper than just the moves the fighters perform. For example, during Gouken's fight with Evil Ryu, he reminisces about his past where he first met Ryu and started teaching him martial arts and the Ryu he is now fighting is a lot different than the Ryu that he remembers. It describes the whole concept of being strong and seeking strength and how one must overcome their obstacles and keep moving forward. Sometimes the strategy the fighters use against each other mirrors the strategy those pro players use in tournaments. For example, E. Honda baits Guile's Flash Kick then attempts to punish but then gets caught off guard by his second Flash Kick which is pretty much how those good Guile players play. There are some typos and grammatical errors in a very few places as if this book was rushed but it doesn't really make the book unreadable so I'll overlook that flaw. My only gripe with this book is that most of the times there would be dialogues in between paragraphs (other than the name of the special move they perform) with no indication of who is saying that particular dialogue and it tends to get confusing. So overall, if you're a hardcore Street Fighter fan and you enjoy reading, then this book is for you.

Très beaux dessins mais attention, ce n'est pas un manga !
J'ai mal lu la description, croyant acheter un manga je me retrouve avec un roman parsemé d'illustrations.
