fighting game instructions

[Mark70]

I was wondering if anyone has assembled any nicely presented fighting game instructions.  I mean all the secret moves of the all the characters in fighting games like mortal kombat and street fighter.

I say "nicely presented" because I've seen a few walkthroughs in .txt format, but I was hoping to assemble some more nicely presented instructions to keep in a binder beside the cabinet.

Anyone ever do this.

I find that the presentation has to be somewhat graphic and very concise so you can quickly look between rounds or before the fight starts.

Just wondering what anyone else has found or done.  I'm still not sure if I'm up to the work.  The plain text print outs work well enough, they're just not as nice to keep in a binder beside the machine.

the best ones that I have seen in terms of Graphics were the ones you found in the back of Gamepro magazine, But if you go to Gamefaqs.com they have millions of user .txt files that are pretty decently organized. What I do is I print out the character that I am practicing with with a larger text and thats the real only way to learn a character inside and out!!! Not many graphical tutorials though

One thing I've learned is that if you don't know what you are doing  Down - Forward Down - Forward plus a button is always a good guess for a special move.

I followed this link here and looked at Samurai Shodown.  That was about exactly what I was looking for.  Simple.  Graphic.  Concise.
