Destructoid.com was kind enough to completely scan in a 39 page full color manual that they received from Capcom for Street Fighter IV. Hit the link to see scans of every special move for every character in the game, as well as a comprehensive history of everything Street Fighter.

According to Destructoid, "Along with the game (which [we] can't say anything about yet other than it's not a final retail build) came a pretty neat extra -- a 39-page Street Fighter IV 'Training Manual.' The booklet details the features of the console version, an interview with Capcom's Seth Killian, and some killer Street Fighter IV art. But best of all, it features the special moves for all 25 of the game's characters."

Playstation Blog: "That'd be Team PlayStation, as represented by Joe C. (no relation to this guy) in the CES Street Fighter IV event.

Capcom threw one heck of an event: swank hotel suite, 4 PS3 Street Fighter setups with the official, upcoming Mad Catz arcade sticks and Fight Pads, and a bracket of fighters ready to whup each other up in Street Fighter IV."

www.pushingplay.com writes "Seth Killian seems to be making this rounds this year at CES. First he was seen showing off the fancy new fight sticks, and now he's demoing the new training mode. It looks great, with challenges that teach you everything from beginner tactics like special move commands up to the more complicated strategies like focus attack cancel combos. The mode looks fairly robust, and the video even indicates that you'll get some achievement points for doing it. Score!"

Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono writes a special letter paying tribute to the staff from Electronic Gaming Monthly:

"Creating games while keeping track of the needs and opinions of the average user is terribly important, and I feel that organizations such as EGM and 1UP.com are instrumental in making that happen. To hear that one of these bastions of game journalism will soon close its doors is disheartening. Still, I look forward to seeing what the editors will go on to do. I have high hopes for them."

Following the massive layoffs at 1UP.com, former Editor-in-chief of EGM magazine, James "Milkman" Mielke, details in a recent blog post:

"This is actually not "that" blog, either, but I wanted to give you guys a peek at the final day of EGM's proactive existence. I know it will live on in everyone's memories as the best gaming magazine of the last twenty years, nearly as old as this favorite hobby of ours, but as of now it is no longer in publication or circulation. That said --and to clarify on what I stated in my previous blog-- the final, secret, unpublished issue of EGM will show up here on 1UP shortly in the near future. You will be able to read every hi-res page, ads and all (last time I checked at least) on 1UP, to see the beautiful job that crew did, even with the guillotine hanging over our heads every minute of the day. I'm only posting the cover to it for now, but as you can tell, it's quite an eye-catching, dynamic cover. I hope you enjoy the full, final issue."

The rest of the blog post details the last day of the 30+ journalists who were laid off following 1UP acquisition to UGO.

Looks like Barnes&Noble might be the solution to your problems! They have the item up for 110 dollars less than any other retailers.

Get in there and order it while it's still up, so that you can gripe at them when they cancel your orders!"
