How to unlock all secret Street Fighter 4 characters? That question will be answered in this guide that shows you who to unlock to get the full roster and how.

Below we’ve listed the 9 secret Street Fighter IV characters in alphabetical order.

Take the following steps — either by reading or watching — to unlock each one.

1. Akuma: After unlocking Sakura Kasugano, Dan Hibiki, Cammy White, Fei Long, Gen, and Rose. First finish the arcade mode (on any difficulty) with any character, in this case use that same character for this second or later playthrough. Then fight Akuma on arcade mode, to do that get: at least 1 perfect round on 1-round matches (or 2 perfects on 3-round matches / 3 perfects on 5-round matches / 4 perfects on 7-round matches) including the last battle against Seth. No ultra combo finishes needed. But you can’t lose any matches/rounds nor use a continue when you die. Beating Akuma will unlock him.

2. Cammy White: Finish the arcade mode with Crimson Viper. That will unlock her.

3. Dan Hibiki: Finish the arcade mode with Sakura Kasugano. That will unlock him.

4. Fei Long: Finish the arcade mode with Abel. That will unlock him.

5. Gen: Finish the arcade mode with Chun-Li. That will unlock him.

6. Gouken: After unlocking Akuma, Sakura Kasugano, Dan Hibiki, Cammy White, Fei Long, Gen, and Rose. First finish the arcade mode (on any difficulty) with Akuma, and watch (not necessary to watch everything) an ending. In this case to play also use a character you already finished arcade mode with, and with which you watched the ending once, for his/her second or later playthrough. Then fight Gouken on arcade mode, to do that get: at least 1 perfect round on 1-round matches (or 2 perfects on 3-round matches / 3 perfects on 5-round matches / 4 perfects on 7-round matches), plus at least 3 Super Combo or Ultra Combo Finishes on 1-round matches (or 5 super/ultra finishes on 3-round matches / 7 super/ultra finishes on 5-round matches / 9 super/ultra finishes on 7-round matches), and at least 5 First Attacks — meaning you must score the first strike in a match — in 1 match (or 10 first attacks in 3-round matches / 15 first attacks in 5-round matches / 20 first attacks in 7-round matches). But you can’t lose any matches/rounds nor use a continue when you die. Beating Gouken will unlock him.

correct simply hardkick mashing will not beat seth some jumping is needed too and to unlock Gokuen you need to do ultracombos which is not done by mashing hardkick…

The unlocking of akuma and gouken is way too stupid. If I didn;t have internet I would hav never found out. Capcom really made an idiotic thing with the unlocking of these charatcers in my opinion. -111111111111111111

I have unlocked everyone except Seth. I have beaten the game with all 24characters, yet I still cannot access Seth as a playable character. Anyone think they know perhaps why?

Personal action? What is it for? I got to 4.
And 1 more thing, do anyone know how can Ryu have another clothes, not colors, like just a pant? How can i get it? I saw the other players online had.

Hi, Chilli.

What you saw must be a different skin. You can download different skins and change the original to use them (but I would make a backup of the overwritten files first)

In the article it says: “With every (starter) character you use to beat the game, another one gets unlocked.”
That can’t be right I guess?? There are 16 “starter characters” in the game, and there are only 9 characters to unlock, only 6 of which can be unlocked “easily”, i.e. just by completing the arcade mode with a specific character.
So as far as I can see, only 5 of the 16 starter characters unlock a new character if you beat the game with them, and those 5 are C. Viper, Abel, Chun-Li, M.Bison and Ryu. The 6th charachter to “easily” unlock a new one is Sakura (gives you Dan Hibiki) but Sakura is not a “starter” character.
