Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Stratey Guide

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Strategy Guide is a video game strategy guide published by BradyGames, and written by Mark Rogoyski, Adam Deats, and Joey Cuellar. The book covers Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, which contains both Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition.

Strategy Guide
The Anniversary strategy guide covers detailed tournament strategies for each character. The 3rd Strike guide in particular contains pages of strategy for each character, along with frame data for each move for the first time ever in an American fighting guide.

This was in contrast to how fighting game guides were written in the past. Up until this guide most guides contained nothing more than move lists and pictures. If any strategy text was included, it only contained to strategy against the CPU opponent.

The Anniversary guide on the other hand contains no information about fighting a CPU opponent. It only deals with tournament strategy against a human opponent. The writers are actual tournament Street Fighter players and their highly detailed strategies reflect their tournament experience and knowledge.
