Pay Street Fighter experts for lessons

$40 to $50 an hour.

Street Fighter experts are offering to teach would be fighting game champions how to improve their skills over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

Players offering lessons include Justin Wong, Mike Ross, Martin "Marn" Phan and Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez.
