It is much easier to tell what to do with your joysticks if you use arrows. I know that you could only do the correct arrows for 1 direction, but I think that you could figure that out easily. Anyway, if you ever do a revision with arrow, I will be in. :cheers:

The reason I went with the text descriptions was that I found in long strings of movements the arrows took me a little more time to comprehend than the letter codes, especially if Right became Left due to me reversing positions.
Still, I did struggle a little with the decision.

This is a very good point. Arrows are only correct for characters facing right. We can assume this from the beginning, but what about player 2? Say it's your cab and you're player 1, and player 2 is looking at the book. All the arrows will be backwards. I can see the reason for the design choice. What I would have done is made the book with electronic paper that changes based on what directon your character is facing. Although that probably would have increased your cost by a tad. ;D

As far as directionality, with any FAQ or strategy guide, what do we always end up reading before we actually get to the moves? "The moves listed here are written assuming your character is facing right. For 2nd player, reverse motions." ;D
Rather than an arrow for the individual directions, you could use bent arrows that represent the motions, reducing the number of arrows needed. Granted, it would be time consuming, but easier to read on the fly.
Example - Terry Bogard's Power Geyser from Fatal Fury Special:
1/4 circle arrow from back to down, half circle from back to front, button designation(s).
3-4 symbols, rather than a dozen.
I may download a copy to have handy though. It's clean and simple.
