Amazon.com Review

If you want a lot of pretty pictures in your strategy guides, you probably won't like this book. However, if you want the lowdown on how to fight your way through Tekken 3, take notice. Brady's unauthorized guide would be more aptly named The Big Book of Tekken 3 Stats. This incredibly thorough guide lists hundreds of fighting moves for the game--occasionally squeezing more than 40 moves on a single page. Controller-pad-button diagrams are provided for each move. The book also offers some well-written tactical tips, covering movement techniques, guarding, and attack ranges as well as special moves and combinations. Character-specific statistics follow and provide detailed information on each of the game's 20 fighters. --Michael Ryan

4.0 out of 5 stars In-depth Strategy guide for the serious Tekken 3 player, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unauthorized Tekken 3 Fighting Guide (Paperback)

I was a beginner Tekken player who started playing with Tekken 3. I didn't know anything about reversals or chickens, and the overall conventions of the moves. But with this book, you get an introduction to conventions, explanation of terms, a complete list of moves for every charactrer, inlcuiding strategy guides to play with and against each character and it also has a combo listing. But I gave it 4 stars becuase the book doesn't have too many pictures, and the ones it has are too small or dark and King's multi-throws are just listed, it doesn't tell you about timing or tempo for the throws, which could have been explored even more. So if you're looking to polish and deepen your Tekken 3 skills, have all the moves references, and how to beat human opponents this is the book for you, if you're looking for pretty pictures, and the history of every character... look somewhere else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Comprehensive, if not pretty to look at, May 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unauthorized Tekken 3 Fighting Guide (Paperback)

This book is incredibly comprehensive, listing everything the budding entrant to the Iron Fist tournament could possibly want to know. Everything is covered in depth and up to date, explained clearly and concisely. The most accurate Tekken 3 guide I've come across, and I've seen a few. My only gripe is the lack of pictures and aesthetic appeal. A good four out of five
