This the first, initial release of the Street Fighter 3 FAQ. I'll be updating this as soon as information becomes available. I'll soon be adding in strategies, combos, strengths, and weaknesses and possibly other information. But for now, this will serve merely as a reference for each character's moves. Mailing List ----------------- I will be starting up a mailing list for anyone who wants to be on it. Joining the mail list has many advantages; you'll be the first to receive the newest version of the FAQ (I'm only going to post this to alt.games.sf2 periodically), you'll get information direct from Capcom on new developments, you'll have a moderated, open forum so you can discuss Street Fighter 3 information with peers etc... Email ryanz@mindspring.com if you are interested in joining the SF3 FAQ Mailing List. In the subject line put SF3 FAQ Mailing List, in the body put "Join youremailaddresshere," without the quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: All these manuevers assume that you are facing to the right.
