[Multiplatform] Street Fighter 4 - For some reason they're still putting in characters other than Ken

I hear it's supposed to stay a 2D game... I'm just wondering what they're gonna do for character design if they decide to stay true to their formula.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's one in Chinatown in NY. It's just a train and a subway ride away for me, but I'm too lazy to hit up that location.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Compared to the past Street Fighter games, RYU, it's a tad bit slower, but it's not Virtua Fighter 1 or 2 kind of slow.

I haven't had many problems with Seth, but I'm sure with other characters, it will be a bitch to defeat him with. I guess it's easier with Blanka?

Haven't unlocked anyone yet either.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I totally agree with this. Even fighting someone with a horrible stability level, I could get a full match without a single bit of lag.

It's fucking amazing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That took me a while to realize who the hell people were referring to when they were saying Gief. (Chaotic is slow )

This game is treating me weird... I own an arcade stick, but I seem to fight a lot better using the standard 360 controller. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. T_T

Also, I'm down to unlocking the last three characters (Akuma, Gouken, and Seth). Tried to unlock Akuma using Zangief and ended up fighting Gouken instead. Followed through with the "supposed" criteria, and didn't unlock anyone.

Anyone know what I gotta do to unlock him? I'm beginning to question whether or not the requirements to unlocking him posted on GameFAQs is right or not.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh, damn you, OP. All I got is the clicky Hori EX2 stick.

Plus, I found another way to unlock Akuma on 1UP... I'll go ahead and try that later tonight.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And just for the record, GameFAQs is a useless piece of shit. I was chatting with a friend about how to unlock Akuma and I referenced 1UP and what they said. Another friend of his jumped in and said this method worked. So for Akuma and Gokuen, here's the unlock criteria.:

How to unlock Akuma and Gokuen:

Complete Arcade mode with every unlockable character (Dan, C. Viper, Sakura, Cammy, Gen, Fei-Long, Rose) have at least one perfect round, and never use a continue. Akuma will appear after you defeat Seth. Defeat Akuma to unlock him.


Complete Arcade mode with Akuma, never use a continue, and perform at least two Ultra finishes.

Gonna try this myself when I get home.

FELIPE NO

Though I gotta admit some of the stuff in there does come in pretty handy.

The only character I managed to beat Trial Mode NORMAL with was Zangief, but that took forever to do.

Most of the combos are pretty ridiculous. Kinda makes me wish they had some sort of demo thing on how to pull it off... Kinda like what Soul Calibur has.

Plus, progress for me. Managed to get Akuma under the circumstances I posted up earlier. Yay, just Gokuen and Seth remain.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Regarding the unlockables, I got Akuma with just the 1 perfect and no continues method in Chaotic's post. Though for Gouken what I did was 1 perfect, 3+ Ultras and no continues(didn't keep track, but I know I did more than 3), I don't think the 1up's 2 Ultras method works.

It still doesn't make it ANY easier to pull some of them off...

Yeah, now I gotta figure out Gokuen again since it didn't work for me either...

[EDIT]: GameFAQs redeemed itself. The cheat list was updated and apparently you have to beat the game with Akuma first before you could unlock Gokuen. Did another run with Gief and now I have Gokuen unlocked. One more to go.

Eh, I don't think I would be good enough to compete in the Fighting game circuit anyway... I haven't had much luck in the arcades playing this game... On top of that, it's my Dad's birthday today, so I would've had to pass it up anyway.

Also did a couple of matches with OP earlier, a lot of fun. If anyone else wants to face me, given I'm not busy, I'm more than willing to go for a couple of matches.

So, on a random note, would anyone be interested in a Gamingforce Tournament for this game? Considering how many people here play it, would be interesting... Although because this is a multi-platform game, there would have to be a PS3 division and a 360 division..

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok, finally, here's a definitive way to unlock Akuma and Gokuen. The Capcom-Unity blog decided to post it up since there's obviously a crapload of confusion with it. I've unlocked both, but I thought it would be nice to update everyone :

Quote:

To unlock Akuma as a playable character:

1. Unlock Cammy, Fei Long, Dan, Sakura, Rose, and Gen.

2. Pick a character you have already used to beat Arcade Mode.

3. Win all your matches without continuing and without losing any rounds before fighting with Seth.

4. 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

(including the last battle against Seth)

5. If you meet these conditions, Akuma will appear. Defeat him to unlock Akuma as a selectable character.

To unlock Gouken as a playable character:

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 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:

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 times 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!

Most amazing jew boots

Either way, I'm really enjoying this game a lot. I'm not the greatest at it yet, but it has that nice classic feel to it. Abel and I are best friends while Balrog can just die for all I care. Same goes for Vega too...

Ugh, that probably means that you hate Blanka and Honda as well. :|

Haven't had much time to play this at all... For those of who you actually still go on the Backloggery, I have on there that my system has broken due to a video error.

But I haven't had the chance to play it on Hardest yet... So gotta do that when I get my system back.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
