It focuses on mastering Ryu in Super Street Fighter II Turbo (and the HD remaster of that title), with the theory being that it lays down the fundamentals to enable beginners to then improve their skills with multiple characters in different games. In this book, I guide the reader through basic execution and combos, poking and footsies, mixups and mindgames, and other essential fundamentals. It’s kind of like having a friend who is pretty good at Street Fighter sit down and show you the ropes, except you don’t have to worry about boring her with your scrubbiness or buying her a burrito.

Even if you’re already pretty good at fighting games, you could still learn a thing or two! Or maybe you have a friend who you wish would get better; give your friend my book, and you’ll have a brand-new sparring partner!

I still have a lot to learn. I don't really care about going into fighting games on this kind of obsessive level and I actually think fighting games were slightly ruined once the designers started over designing them around hardcore competitive gamers. I really don't like all these hit counters and various combo, percentage and super meters and all that other crap that modern fighting game have all over the screen and I actually liked fighting games more when designers were just thinking about making them great games that were approachable and great fun for basically all kinds of gamers (the perfect time was round about the Street Fighter 2 Turbo era imo).

That document however is kinda [Edit: really] interesting. It's given me a clearer insight into how some elements of these games are actually created which might come in handy in the future if I ever decide to make a fighting game myself. Edit: Actually, I just read a bit near the bottom and it's actually really good advice for life in general: From 'Chapter Six: Don't Want No Scrubs' onward is almost like a life lesson in how to succeed and be a winner at life in general.

Don't have access to any version of SSF2T. This is pretty good. Although I'm far from a scrub (haven't been at that level since the 90's), there are some things that I'm still learning.
