Is Strider Hiryu manga considered as canon?

Question

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?

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.

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? – Callat Apr 07 '16 at 17:13
I'm sorry, I do not know of any means to obtain physical copies of the manga. – Ero Sɘnnin Apr 07 '16 at 18:04
Digital maybe? If not at least senpai noticed me. This brings me joy :-) – Callat Apr 07 '16 at 18:08
A quick search in Google with the keywords can you bring you the result, though be warned, not all are legal~ – Ero Sɘnnin Apr 07 '16 at 18:11
