Glue doesn’t hold

Opened it carefully as I do with all books/comics and this happened. Artwork and comic is great, but if the pages don’t hold together what’s the point of getting a hard copy?

I didn't get my book on the exact day you said. I like how you have every book I want, but we don't get it on the set date. Why? Please, be certain next time. Anyway, other then that, you're products are good! And it takes to long till we get our order.

Good art and story for real fans.

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2010

The story is not great but good enough for any real Street fighter fan, I look for good art in comics and this book has it. If you get it for $12 dollars or less is worth the buy.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2008

If you are a SF fan, you will enjoy the artwork and stories in this first volume. I enjoyed Volume 1 and 2 more than volume 3, and much more than Volume 4. This begins the battles and adventures of Ryu and his goal to develop as a fighter. It also follows all of the other characters from the SF II and SF Alpha era and merges them. SF Alpha is a precursor to the SF II. It is a quick read with excellent artwork and an interesting story, and although there are some small parts of the story that are boring for a few characters, most of the story and battles are worthwhile. Do a search to find sample pages of what the artwork looks like. The book is in digest size, which is smaller than the comic book sizes. There is also an Ultimate SF book available which collects the entire four volumes and shows them in larger-than-comic-book-size pages if you can find that version. I recommend this book to all fans of SF, and to any non-fans who know of SF but have never tried to learn the backstories.

Not worth it, Even at the discounted price!

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017

The best aspect about this book is the artwork beyond that I can't really say much else positive about it. I'm not a great gamer when it comes to Street Fighter, but I genuinely love the lore and the characters that exist in it. I can say I really feel this book doesn't do a majority of the characters Justice and they just don't come off to me as they should. If you want something that is both easy on the eyes and a good Street Fighter read, I'd say anything written by Masahiko Nakahira or Mami Itou. Those two did a much better job of capturing both Ryu and Ken in written form than the UDON staff does. Also if you have never seen it Street Fighter Assassin's Fist does a great origin story for both that blows this book out of the water. One final note as well, I bought the paperback edition and the binding is seriously just awful and has no endurance what so ever. It's already started falling apart after 2 reads. Who ever is producing this book for selling is doing it on the cheap side and it shows in the product. It's not just limited to this volume either but all the other ones I bought from UDON, it's really quite unacceptable. That's all I have to say about this first volume.

STREET FIGHTER

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2012

I love STREET FIGHTER! I have been an all time fan of Street Fighter all my life growing up as a kid to a 27 year old adult now. I was ashamed that the STREET FIGHTER games brought to the big screen were such a disipointment. But Udon has simply cleared its name to a 6 volume series Of Street Fighter begining with this one. STREET FIGHTER "ROUND ONE FIGHT!" The art work is beautifully well done and the Story it self hooks you in as soon as you read the 1st two pages. Ryu battles within himself to not be consumed as Akuma once did as he searches for his Masters killer, but not with out picking up his old spa partner Ken Masters. Guile and Chun Li meet for the first time as there search for Bison grows, and well looks like Vega has a little suprize for Kens wife Eliza in her hotle room in Japan ;) Each page you turn hooks you more and more and well the art work like I said before couldnt be more well done then it is. Udon must take it to the next level and finally do a STREET FIGHTER MOVIE DONE THE ROGHT WAY! All six issues will be a collecters items for me nicely framed and will be passed on to my kids in the near future. These volumes should not be with out any hardcore STREET FIGHTER FAN such as myself. I must own for the die hard fan!

GREAT NOVEL FOR ALL STREET FIGHTER FANS!

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2007

If you grew up playing Street Fighter games and wanted to know more on the stories of the characters, then THIS IS A DEFINITE MUST PICK UP AND HAVE! Great illustrations with a great storyline to stay true to the characters of the game and brings them to life. Really thought out well and structured greatly. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VOLUME, VOLUME 5! :)

Street fighter.Unless you are into this,it won't excite you.BUT,if you are then wooo hoo! First,the art work.If it doesn't work,nor does the book.I think that this rocks !The cover art by Arnold Tsang really appeals to me and I can't get enough of it.I've scanned loads of pages.It's just too good not to have as computer backgrounds.Anyway,back to the book.The story starts off in an ordinary enough way with Ryu,one of our main characters training in the woods.Art work,colours,yeah,yeah,not bad.Some guy shows up and they fight.Turns out ,it's a dream.Phooey !Turn the page and....POW !Double page spread of one of the main reasons for the story.This is only page 8 by the way.Then some other guy shows up and taps Ryu on the shoulder and starts to fight.Where's this going...hang on,it's just a friendly challenge and we get introduced to some more characters.Not much to get the blood rushing,still,early days.The location changes to Chinatown,San Francisco and a pub brawl involving what seems to be a minor character,Guile,an American soldier and the 'bad guy' runs out into a back alley,and page 27 is where the story gets good for me,KRACK!A silhouette of him taking it on the chin from CHUN LI,our agent from Hong Kong,full page.Awesome!That's enough reason for me to buy the book.Read on to page 30 where they join forces and the second main reason for the story emerges,Shadaloo.Did I mention that Chun Li has a great opening one liner,oh man...!OK,so I'm a fan,Just go and buy the book,'kay.Oh,do you know about Sakura?No?Well,she's a school kid who wants to become a street fighter too.'mad',you say.Nah,great,go for it.She's here too with some very good comments and there is a great sense of humour throughout the book,and the series.But enough about her,let's get back to Chun Li....sigh.This book is filled with energy and the characters all display heaps of enthusiasm and dedication,even the army of highly trained Babes,the main one being Cammy...or is she...?They work for Bison,the evil Overlord who kidnaps and brainwashes 'poor fools' to expand his puppet empire,oooh,sinister,with a little help from Vega,a bladed fist wielding martial artist,who is extremely well drawn,in character and art.Some great domestic and social scenes break up the fights and then we meet C-Charlie,Charlie Nash???Who the heck is he?Well,he's a bad guy,but he isn't really.Well,he is when we first meet him but he's actually one of Bison's puppet army.Anyway,who cares cos' it leads to a fight between him and Chun Li OVER 8,yes,8 PAGES!Oh,did I mention that I like Chun Li?And,we are only half way into the book.Next comes Killer Bee,another member of Bison's,or is that Shadaloo's highly trained Babes.The story just keeps on going and just doesn't ease off,brilliant.Sakura shows up again,she usually does,anyway,she wants Ryu to be her teacher so she seeks him out but at a bad time cos' he's in the middle of a fight,right,but to show her determination,she steps into the fight.Ok,she's inexperienced and untrained and yes,gets clobbered.She falls against a tree and sustains a forehead cut.Ryu takes time out from HIS fight to rip off a strip from his karate shirt to bandage Sakura's wound which she just happens to wear for the rest of the series;while Ryu returns to the fight;which he loses,by the way,but only cos' he's a nice guy,right?There's also a nice hint at another intriguing female character who seems to have links with Cammy towards the end of the book along with more brilliant cover art from Arnold Tsang,Long Vo and SAKA and Jo Chen.

Round 3....FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2006

Verified Purchase

The third volume of UDON's Street fighter series, continues to raise the bar of computer game adaptations. The artwork is sublime and meets the expectations laid down by the previous two volumes.

However, although the volume is worth getting it does fall short of the standards set in the previous volumes. Significantly the story line starts to focus increasingly on Cammy. This is a dangerous pitfall for the franchise, for whilst Cammy is ever popular (and has her own Viz book) she also brings out the worst in UDON, who use her as a vehicle for anime style fan service, and drift the story away from the core streetfighter universe, with references to fringe characters and characters not previously in the Street fighter universe. Maybe I'm too traditional wanting the story to focus on core characters from the original street fighter 2, but I think there was enough scope within the original charcater histories to have avoided this whole Cammy digression...

in conclusion, you'll buy this because you love streetfighter, and in many respects the artwork is enough, but be prepared for a rather sorry story arc...
