This is a book that lists combos and moves. For that it is great. The major failing point is that this is all that it is. You can get the moves sheet from gamefaqs.com. I need a book with all the strategies and methods for each character. Virtua Fighter is a deep and complicated game that is full of anticipation and knowing which moves to use and when to use them. It does not show in what situations to use certain moves or tell you the exact timing of the combos ( really important ). In fact it fails miserably. Don't get this book, all it is is shiny paper with pictures of moves but no substance.

The Virtua Fighter 3tb strategy guide is a good guide but not great. I've seen better guides for other fighting games such as Killer Instinct and Super Street Fighter 2 which highlighted ALL of the characters moves with pics. This guide has good pics but not as much as I would like.

The guide also gives some sort of backround info on the characters but it is not a necessity for a good guide. More depth and fighting strategies would have been apprecieated. I was not fond of the names for some of the games basic moves such as a slap by the Sumo Wrestler named the "demon killer" or "demon winning raise". Such names are not necessary as served as a slight turn off. I don't know much about Virtua Fighter as this is my first VF game I also did not like the satanic plot for Judgement 6, the evil organisation behind the tournament. Such things were not apprecieated and took away from the guide. As I said i'm no expert on the game and do not know if these names of the moves or the plot are "offical" and straight from Sega or not.

As I said earlier readers would have apprecieated a more indepth guide with strategies for beginners to experts and even some interviews with VF 3 experts and tips on how to play. Good guide but not great.
