If you're at all familiar with Brady Games' MvC3 and UMvC3 guides, you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect in their offering for SFxT.

Another high-quality game guide by Bradygames. Has every bit of useful information you can ask for for SFxT. It's well organized, and the character artwork is also put to good use.

This has to be the worst guide I have purchased for a fighting game. Most of the pages are wasted on regular moves etc. Combos are very rare and a good portion of them are lifted off from the in game tutorials...
Avoid !
