I know a lot of you out there are sick and tired of playing amongst your friends and getting beat down. The rest of you are probably sick and tired of getting beat down online by guys you know you’re better than. That’s the worst, isn’t it? I know it is, because I’ve been there.

I have a feeling that you’ve been spending WAY more time working on your combos, studying frame data, reading forums  and trying to level up in Street Fighter 4 than the guys you’re playing with, but for some reason, you’re not winning as much as you think you should be. And you know there must be SOMETHING that you’re missing. You KNOW that there must be SOMETHING that guys like Justin Wong, Alex Valle and Daigo must know that you haven’t even THOUGHT of yet.

So here it is: you don’t have the EXPERIENCE that these guys have had because you haven’t been playing the best of the best in tournaments for over a decade. THAT’S what you can’t get from training mode, reading forums and playing online, because the experience that you get from playing the best of the best is what you simply cannot get by playing with the same people, whether it’s your friends & family or playing online in Championship Mode.

THIS IS WHAT YOU’VE BEEN MISSING

Street Fighter 4 Secrets Volume 2 featuring none other than the Daigo-killer himself, Arturo Sanchez! In this volume, Art shares with you his mindset, theories and fundamentals of Dhalsim, as well as the match-up mentalities that he has against against his toughest matchups.

This audio strategy guide is going to give you an inside look at how one of the best players in the world views the game. Arturo has been playing competitively for over a decade and has beaten some of the best players in the world, including Daigo “The Beast’ Umehara, who he beat in a money match at Evo 2009. He explains how he adapts his gameplan to a variety of situations, utilizing his in-depth knowledge of the game to effectively and consistently defeat and overcome his opponents’ strategy.

You will learn:

• Arturo’s mindset when going up against the toughest of opponents i.e. Daigo

In Part I: Fundamentals, Arturo gives you a crash course in everything you need to know to get up to speed when playing as or against Dhalsim.  This is geared toward those who are trying to learn Dhalsim, as well as those who already play him and want to make sure that they aren’t missing any critical elements of the foundation of their game.  Even if you don’t play Dhalsim, you can still benefit from listening because you never know when you’re going to meet one in a crucial match.  Having more knowledge of the character can only make you a strong, more knowledgeable player.

ARTURO SANCHEZ VS. WRITTEN GUIDES, ARTICLES & FORUMS

When I was coming up in the world of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, I would spend my Saturday nights grinding it out at Family Fun Arcade in Simi Valley, CA from 10PM-3AM on a Saturday night.  After we were done grinding it out, we would go to Denny’s across the street and talk about the game until 7AM EVERY TIME, learning what we DIDN’T know about the game.  The same rules apply to SF4, except now YOU have the opportunity to listen in on these conversations and learn what YOU DON’t KNOW, without giving up your Saturday nights.

One of the key elements of leveling up this way is having a group of Top Players to talk about the game with.  Without guys like Arturo,  you don’t get the same exchange of ideas that you get when you’re sitting around talking about the game amongst a group of high level players that have proven themselves time and time again in a tournament.   THAT is what you’re missing.

Just so you know, this isn’t your normal strategy guide.  This isn’t laid out in bulletpoint form by your professor.  This is your professor giving it to you raw, uncut and from the mouth of a professional, who has conquered the best in the world.

WHAT IF I DON’T PLAY DHALSIM?

From the early responses I’ve received from those who have previewed this material, they’ve found that even though they don’t play Dhalsim as their main, they still have been able to garner valuable knowledge that is applicable to their main character because the concepts and principles that Arturo lays out are universal to Street Fighter 4 gameplay and mindsets.
Even if Dhalsim is not your main character, you can still benefit from listening to one of the best players in the world give advice about how to level up your own game.

WHY ISN’T THIS FREE?

Ultimately, there has to be a cost to education and leveling up, whether that cost is in the form of money or time spent.  You can either spend time trying to learn everything you can about the technical aspects of the game, or you can cut to the chase and learn from someone who has already put in the time and effort into being the best.

By learning from someone who has already done it all, you save yourself the time and effort of going through the trials and tribulations of getting to the top by listening to this audio strategy guide.

This guide was edited and formatted to feel as though the listener was in a personal conversation with Arturo.

Ultimately, in Street Fighter or in any other game, you get out what you put in.  If you aren’t willing to commit time, money or a combination of both, you won’t be able to level up as much as quickly as someone who has.

This guide is available to everybody with an interest in Street Fighter 4 and getting better, so if you find that you’re getting beat down harder than usual in the next couple of weeks, you may attribute that to this guide being studied heavily by your competition.

IS THIS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD?

Yes it is! It is distributed in DRM-free MP3 format so you can play it in iTunes, Windows Media Player, VLC, your iPod, Zune, burn it onto a CD, give it to a friend, whatever you want. Rather than have to wait for a physical disc to arrive, you can just download it now and be listening to it in minutes.

100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

If you decide to make the investment in your game and find that this guide doesn’t help you understand the game in a way you hadn’t thought of before, just email me and I’ll refund 100% of the purchase price.

ARE YOU READY TO STEP UP YOUR GAME?

Man, that was long!  Thanks for reading till the end!  I hope you decide to make this investment into your Street Fighter game because it’ll make your climb to the top of your peer group that much easier.  You won’t find this kind of high-level strategy discussion anywhere else!
