Street Fighter X Tekken: Artworks

There are a few reviews on here that are quite critical of this book and I am here to sing its praises. I think some people lose sight of the product itself and bring other factors into their reviews. I will agree that the book is a bit small, (only 192 pages) but we know that going in and since it's essentially ten dollars off here on Amazon, I don't see that being a problem. There are few art books out there that hit all my criteria for being a great art book. I need splash/promotional art, design commentary, interviews, art of all characters/enemies and a it's real bonus is if actual character/story information and CG models from the game are included. This book has all that. It starts with some great splash art from greats like Kinu Nishimura and Akiman as well as some others. Then it goes to the promo art for each character, a page a piece so that can be enjoyed in all their glory. All these pieces are accompanied by design insight commentary. Next is a chapter that examines each of the game's 6 trailers. Then the book covers each character duo introduction and ending as well as the game's various stages. The screenshots for this section are miniscule, but there is lots of commentary and It's always nice to have something to read. After that, we get a section showing each character in a two page spread. One page shows the characters in-game model (great for artists who want to draw these characters) as well as a blurb about the character's background and motives. The rest of the space is devoted to concept art of various costume swaps, used and unused. Finally there are a few interviews with the various artists who worked on the game. One of these is with Akiman, who has some real interesting stuff to say about the early days of Street Fighter design. That's what's in this book and I really enjoyed it. If you're looking for something more or the few negatives I mentioned (small screenshots, book length) turn you off, then steer clear, but otherwise grab this gem.

the book was in great condition and it provide me with refernce and history of the battles and game development. highly recommended.

My boyfriend loved the art book I got for him, it has a lot of content and for under 25 bucks I couldn't be happier.All in color and new art from sfxtekken which I had not seen elsewhere eventhough I own many SF/Capcom/Tekken art books.It was nice since I get upset that many art books reuse the same art over and over, and many times I feel like I'm paying for something I already own.The only thing I would have preferred is a hard cover instead of soft cover, but maybe they have that too.

I bought this along with the art book for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom, and this was the one that definitely felt like it didn't hold up. There didn't seem like there was nearly as many concept sketches, just a lot of rough designs, with multiple costume recolors. The finished art looked great, but some of the roughs looked exceedingly sloppy - stuff I probably wouldn't have chosen to include.

Gorgeous art book with detailed artwork that any Tekken or Street Fighter fan will enjoy! High quality pages and a great gift!

Great.

I love this book very premium feel great content with in a must have for any art book collector.

Street Fighter v very Good~

This is a great artbook for a very fun game. The book however is pretty small and it does not help that it is softcover. The art is good, but the size does have a big factor as to why this isn't the best it could have been.

Très bien fait, j'ai vraiment adoré ce Artbook. Par contre, ils ne parlent pas des nouveaux personnages qui sont apparus dans le DLC commme Blanka, Bryan, Lei, Dudley et etc.

Tolle Artworks, nicht nur wenn man Fan von Tekken oder Streetfighter ist, man kann sich die Bilder nicht oft genug angucken
