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.

Why is everyone making a big deal out of the kicking thing. It’s simple. You don’t just stand there and kick, but if you only use the moves jump kick then Sweep or kick, with only the hard button. You will easily beat Seth. Any cpu character for that matter. This game is ridiculously easy. I repeat jump kick then sweep with most characters will beat any cpu. I dont even play video games but I used to play this one as a kid. I beat it on hardest within 4 hours and I don’t even play it anymore. The computers patterns are to easy to figure out. I like playing real people though. They made the arcade too easy.

Hi, I recently purchased Street Fighter 4 for my PS3 and am officially addicted to this game lol. This is by far one of the best, if not THE best fighting game I’ve ever played on console. I was looking for information about how to unlock the players and stumbled across your site from Google, you actually came up in the number one spot!

This is a great website and I just wanted to thank you for making this information available!

Best regards,

Nick

‘A useful tip at the start of the game: With every (starter) character you use to beat the game, another one gets unlocked.’

This is NOT true!! I say again, this is NOT true. I finished the game with Dhalsim, Sagat and Ken, and each time I did NOT get a new character.

Apart from that tho, this is very handy. Hopefully it’s the only part you have incorrect

I’m finding the heavy kick trick doesn’t work on Zangief. I jump and kick him, and even on easiest he’ll often grab me in the air and piledrive me. He outranges the kicks with his punches, and seems to be able to grab me even when i’m intentionally working to avoid grapples. I’m sick of watching my character get piledrived, he does it endlessly, seems to grab me even when one of my techniques is hitting him and the best i can do against him is to create distance and shoot projectile after projectile at him
