Instead of just entering some code on a ? box on the character select screen, Capcom decides to give you a harder time to extend the Street Fighter IV lifespan on your gaming priorities. IT’s kinda like the way you unlock Tekken characters, only much more demanding.
Unlocking Akuma
- Unlock Cammy, Fei Long, Dan, Sakura, Rose, and Gen.
- Pick a character you have already used to beat Arcade Mode.
- Win all your matches without continuing and without losing any rounds before fighting with Seth.
- You need to get at least one “perfect” win in a round, and more than one depending on how many rounds per match you are playing.
- 1 round match: 1 perfect round or more
- 3 round match: 2 perfect rounds or more
- 5 round match: 3 perfect rounds or more
- 7 round match: 4 perfect rounds or more
- This includes the last battle against Seth
If you meet these conditions, Akuma will appear. Defeat him to unlock Akuma as a selectable character.
Unlocking Gouken
- Complete Arcade Mode playing as Akuma and watch (not necessary to watch everything) an ending.
- Then, unlock Gouken as an opponent, and defeat him.
Important stuff to remember when unlocking Gouken:
- Play using a character you’re beaten the game with
- Do not lose a match and continue
- Don’t even lose around. So just go with one round matches
- Achieve certain number (or more) of “Perfect” rounds. The number of Perfect Wins you need to achieve are:If you play on
- If you play on 1 round match: 1 time or more
- If you play on 3 round match: 2 times or more
- If you play on 5 round match: 3 times or more
- If you play on 7 round match: 4 times or more
- Achieve a certain number (or more) of Super Combo -OR- Ultra Combo Finishes. Super and Ultra finishes both count toward this number. The number of super/ultra finishes you need to achieve are:
- 1 round match: 3 times or more
- 3 round match: 5 times or more
- 5 round match: 7 times or more
- 7 round match: 9 times or more
- Achieve certain number (or more) of First Attack (this means you must score the first strike in a match–the screen gives you the “First Attack” message, and you can mostly do this without even noticing):
So to make it all easier (ish), just go for one-round matches, get the First Attack and get a perfect win each time. When Gouken appears, kick his ass, and he’ll be unlocked.
