IPW Guide Update: Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition

It's been a long time coming, but we've returned with more updates to the IPW Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition Guide!  If you haven't checked it out in a while we've made a ton of updates over the last few months. We just haven't made them public until recently and posted about it until today.

One thing we're really proud of is that we are working with top players for guide info.  For example, Team Spooky's Min completely reworked our guide for M.Bison.  ROM, a top Yang player, provided an enormous amout of information for that character's guide.  We are working with more and will try to cultivate more top player involvement as we move forward. 

However, just because we are working with top players doesn't mean we don't need your help.  There are obviously still a lot of areas that need a lot of work and if you want to share your knowledge or give us a tip on a great tutorial video let us know!
