You must read the Street Fighter IV 'Training Manual' to stand a chance photo

Earlier this week, Capcom was kind enough to send Street Fighter IV preview code our way. And no, you can't come over and play. Sorry.

Along with the game (which I can't say anything about yet other than it's not a final retail build) came a pretty neat extra -- a 39-page Street Fighter IV "Training Manual." The booklet details the features of the console version, an interview with Capcom's Seth Killian, and some killer Street Fighter IV art. But best of all, it features the special moves for all 25 of the game's characters. 

The book is so damned cool that I wanted to share it with you guys. Fortunately, Capcom gave me the thumbs up to pass it along. So here it is in all of its glory. If you were wondering how to do Seth's "Hyakuretsukyaku," here's your guide. Start practicing now for the game's February 17 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

That's really cool. I have never really gotten into the SF games, but now that they have a noob practice mode in the game, I will definately be getting it. Can't wait for this game to come out.

Does this come with all copies of the game? Because it's pretty sweet.

They spelled Guile's name wrong on page 3. Astounding.

They also said El Fuerte was a "chief" when judging by the names of his moves, I think they meant "chef".

Anyway, I'm getting more stoked for SFIV :D :D :D

I'm pretty excited for this. Over the past two months I've been playing the hell out of Street Fighter 3rd Strike, so I can't wait.

Also, thanks for the scans, much appreciated.

Glad you guys liked the Training Manual. You guys are as harsh on Capcom re spelling errors as you are on us. Sheesh!

Also, just to be perfectly clear, this isn't the instruction manual. This is a supplemental guide that was sent along with the preview build. It's missing gameplay elements like info on the Revenge meter, etc.

Hell...Yes.

I'm still playing Capcom VS SNK 2: Mark of the New Millennium and Third Strike with my friends. Been the same routine almost every weekend for 5 years.

Now time to say g'bye Third Strike! SFIV is moving in. Man I cant wait
