I bet it's nigh impossible to find a copy either with it being so old. It's like a collectible now. Know of any sources senpai?

<p>After playing <em>Strider</em> on PS3, and using Strider Hiryu across all <em>Marvel vs Capcom</em> games, I have become aware that he, like most game characters, have manga that delve into his past and life in his world outside the game. </p>

<p>Are these manga considered canon? Or are the games the only canon materials?</p>

After playing *Strider* on PS3, and using Strider Hiryu across all *Marvel vs Capcom* games, I have become aware that he, like most game characters, have manga that delve into his past and life in his world outside the game.

Are these manga considered canon? Or are the games the only canon materials?
