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?

Is Strider Hiryu manga considered as canon?


Yes, the _Strider Hiryu_ manga is canon.

The manga series was created by the artist group, Moto Kikaku, in
collaboration with Capcom. Since Capcom is credited with the game's creation,
the collaboration result with the creator is considered canon.

The manga was serialized from **May to October 1988** , while the first
Strider Hiryu game, Strider (CPS-1) was released in **March 1989**. The manga
serves as an _origins_ story of the lead character Hiryu.
