This is mainly a comparison review, noting the changes from SF20 to this release, SF25. Skip down a few paragraphs for that.

SF25 is a behemoth 446-page, nearly four-and-a-half pound book. It is a remarkable collection of art spanning dozens of games and is the best SF book in my decent collection of over a dozen such titles. It features art from a plethora of excellent artists, presented in solid binding and printed on high-quality paper. While I’ve seen better bindings, my copy of SF20 has lasted five years with no trouble (same quality) and the paper is wonderful.

It is, without a doubt, a must-have for anyone interested in SF art and has been offered at a tremendously-reasonable price. I used to pay twice as much for half when I was importing Capcom books from Japan.

This is a five-star purchase and the only reason to doubt would be if you already own SF20. If you don’t, buy this book. If you do, however, let’s compare…

The page count has risen almost 130 pages (from 320 to 448). While that is a hefty tally, realize that still means 320 pages are identical or almost identical. What is added is almost entirely newer games.

Among these added pages you’ll find 18 pages of interviews, 8 new illustrator sections, and 28 new pages of Polygon Pictures art. The latter has all the newest Super Street Fighter IV (and SSFIV: Arcade Edition) art and a ton of Street Fighter x Tekken art. You will not find the newest Ultra Street Fighter IV art here.

The intro has fourteen pages of exclusive art (7 two-page spreads featuring new works by the likes of Kinu Nishimura, Bengus & Shinkiro, etc. all fantastic). Also littered throughout are recent calendar artwork and a few bits & pieces missed from SF20.

Format: Paperback
Length: 1:55 Mins
I'm a big fan of the Street Fighter games and art, so it is such a joy to hold this thick enormous artbook book in hand.

However, the joy may be offset slightly if you have bought the earlier edition SF20: The Art of Street Fighter that was released in 2009. Five years have passed and now the 25th anniversary edition is out. This updated edition has 448 pages, that's 128 pages more than the SF20. Binding feels alright for a book this thick but I will still want to be careful though. Both are still paperback.

The original edition for this book is actually the Japanese artbook ストリートファイターアートワークス 極. Udon has translated that to English which is great because there are commentary from the artists and several pages of interviews. Other differences would be the lack of dust jacket in SF25, and the use of slightly glossier ink.

This is a wonderful collection of Street Fighter art featuring an incredible amount of artwork. You'll see a lot of character art from the various generations of the game. There are sketches, splash art, game poses, promotional art and more. I like the Street Fighter art for their dynamism.

The illustrations are divided into chapters by artists, namely:

あきまん (Akiman) | blog
西村キヌ (Kinu Nishimura)
CRMK
イケノ (Daigo Ikeno)
大ちゃん (Daichan)
えだやん (Edayan)
森気楼 (Shinkiro)
ポリゴンーピクチュアズ (Polygon Pictures)

A new chapter with art from Polygon Pictures is included. They are the ones who created the black ink splashy art for Super Street Fighter IV. Some of the works are featured in the art book Street Fighter IV & Super Street Fighter IV: Official Complete Works except they are printed smaller here.

Many new artists and their works are also featured in the latter half of the book.

Definitely worth the money. Highly recommended.

A history from the series of street fighter with original concept and famous illustrators from Capcom. This one groups only the capcom artists and represents really the hearts of the franchise. It's a little less big than the Udon artbook but you could find some exclusive artworks inside.

Great artwork, great motivational inspiration.
Only complaint and its a huge one is that the spine of the book is quite fragile.

The ultimate book for a fan of SF. I love it and it contains many pieces of work throughout the years and details on artist thoughts of different pieces.
