If you've ever wanted to compare how much damage Ken's various special moves do using our
frame data pages for Street Fighter 4, you've probably had to pull out a calculator at some point. While the frame data pages tell you what kind of life you'll be taking off on a per-hit basis (for the most part), sometimes it's nice to know at a glance what the end total is going to be.
To make things a little easier and save you some time, all of the character pages in our
Street Fighter 4 guide now have a damage comparison chart next to the majority of their Special Move listings. This also includes their EX, Super and Ultra attacks as well.
In cases where a move hits multiple times, like Fei Long's Rekka Ken attack, the number given is the total damage for all three hits using the same button strength. i.e. All three Rekka Ken attacks with Light Punch take off a total damage of 148. For multihitting moves like this,
Damage Scaling is automatically factored in.
Also, the damage number given is always assumed as the best case scenario, where every possible hit connects at its most damaging moments. i.e. instead of stating how much life Ryu's Shoryuken takes off if you connect with it at the very end of the animation, the number listed assumes you fully connected with it.

On a purely cosmetic note, all of the Street Fighter 4 character guide pages have undergone various visual improvements as well. Spacing has been increased between the moves to make it a little easier to pick things out, and heading separators have been added so the sections aren't as difficult to quick-scan.
Also, most of the guides have had new information added in, along with cleaning up some old an erroneous stuff. Enjoy.
