Unlocking characters in Street Fighter 4 (PC)
Sometimes it pays to read comments on obscure posts. You never know when you discover a gem.
Here it is.
There are a total of nine unlockable characters, and there are a few requirements necessary to unlock them.
The easiest and fastest way to unlock them is to set the difficulty level to Easiest and set the number of rounds to 1. Then meet the requirements for each character.
Sakura: To unlock Sakura, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using Ryu.
Dan: You must have Sakura unlocked.
To unlock Dan, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using Sakura.
Gen: To unlock Gen, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using Chun Li.
Cammy: To unlock Cammy, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using Crimson Viper.
Rose: To unlock Rose, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using M. Bison.
Fei-Long: To unlock Fei-Long, you have to beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using Abel.
Akuma: You must have Sakura, Dan, Gen, Cammy, Rose, and Fei-Long unlocked.
Beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, using any character.
Must have at least 2 Pefect Rounds before defeating Seth.
Cannot lose any matches and use a continue.
Defeat Akuma.
I used Bison had one Perfect round and yet Akuma appeared.(I have defeated him)
Gouken: Here is a quote from Capcom:
1. Complete Arcade Mode playing as Akuma and watch (not necessary to watch everything) an ending.
2. Then, unlock Gouken as an opponent, and defeat him.
Necessary conditions to unlock Gouken as an opponent:
- Play with any characters with which you watched the ending once (so play using a character you have already beaten the game with)
- Do not continue at all.
- Do not lose at all. Not even one round (easier if you only play 1-round matches)
- Achieve certain number (or more) of ?Perfect? rounds. The number of Perfect Win you need to achieve are:
If you play on
- 1 round match: 1 time or more
- 3 round match: 2 times or more
- 5 round match: 3 times or more
- 7 round match: 4 times or more
- Achieve certain number (or more) of Super Combo -OR- Ultra Combo Finishes. Super and Ultra finishes both count toward this number. The number of Combo Finishes you need to achieve are:
If you play on
- 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):
The number of First Attack you need to achieve are:
If you play on
- 1 round match: 5 time or more
- 3 round match: 10 times or more
- 5 round match: 15 times or more
- 7 round match: 20 times or more
- Then Gouken will appear. Kick his butt to unlock him!
Seth: You must have Gouken unlocked.
Beat Arcade Mode on any difficulty and with any settings, with all other characters.
