There have been more than a few difficulties about how to unlock Gouken and Akuma in Street Fighter 4 for the PS3. Well, based on Capcom’s insight…we have the full instructions right below:
How to Unlock Akuma:
First unlock the following characters; Cammy, Fei Long, Dan, Sakura, Rose, and Gen.
Once the Street Fighter characters above are unlocked, pick a character you have already used to beat the game with (in Arcade Mode)
You must win ALL matches WITHOUT even one continue and WITHOUT losing any rounds before reaching Seth.
Get at least one “perfect” win in a round, and more based on how many rounds played each match.
Examples:
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)
If all this has been achieved, Akuma will be your next opponent, where you must beat him to receive him as a playable character.
How to unlock Gouken:
(also see ALL conditions required below)
Beat Arcade Mode when you are playing as Akuma. You must watch AT LEAST one ending.
Gouken will then appear as an opponent, where you will have to defeat him to receive as a playable character.
Conditions to Unlock Gouken as your opponent on SF4:
Use a character that you have beaten the game with (and watched the ending).
No continues
No losses (NOT EVEN one single round…so play one round matches if you want an easier way)
Get plenty of “PERFECTS” (see below for number required)
1 round matches: 1 Perfect or more
3 round matches: 2 Perfect or more
5 round matches: 3 Perfects or more
7 round matches: 4 Perfects or more
Get plenty of Super-Combos OR Ultra-Combo finishes – both count towards your tally (see below for number required)
1 round matches: 3 times or more
3 round matches: 5 times or more
5 round matches: 7 times or more
7 round matches: 9 times or more
Get plenty of First Attack – must strike first…message on the screen states so (see below for number required)
1 round matches: 5 times or more
3 round matches: 10 times or more
5 round matches: 15 times or more
7 round matches: 20 times or more
If ALL of the above was achieved, Gouken will appear as a boss, where you must beat him to receive as a playable character.
Just to make sure…watch the ending afterward

“Get at least one “perfect” win in a round, and more based on how many rounds played each match.”
so I only have to get ONE perfect on my way up to seth? or do I have to get a perfect in each fight?

1 per whole thing, would be impossible to get one every time since you also need 3 ultra finishes unless you absorbed your bar to ultra each time… god i just completed it 3x and i didnt watch the movie, can you just watch it from the gallery instead?

I have Akuma already and already beat arcade with him. I got Akuma without dying at all even with seth and akuma himself (I used Ryu). The instructions above says it doesnt matter if you die with seth or akuma as long as you beat your prior opponents without losing/continuing. My question is…. Is it the same thing with unlocking gouken? Can I use a continue if i die with seth or gouken and still get gouken? I will be using Akuma btw.

I loose at Gouken’s level….but here’s how I do the prior things.
Use Akuma at easiest and 1 round.
1st and 2nd Round keep using that fire ball thing to kill the enemy with perfect score
3rd 4th and 5th round keep using that fire ball until the enemy got little blood left (10%), then go near the enemy to ask for some punches and kicks until the Ultra bar appeared to be usable and a bit over the lower limit….then use the ultra skill to finish the enemy.
of course for the first 5 rounds you will get the first attack thing
and just keep killing….and you should see Gouken…if you are not sure for how many ultra combo you need….I suggest you kill the enemy with ultra combo every round after first 2 perfect round.

STREET FIGHTER CHAMP
I can challenge anyone and often do. I never lose a fight! I am undefeated with all characters and you some how think this information is useful? I am the greatest street fighter champ of all time, the asians look up to me as if I was a god, they worship me and sacrifice their blood for the good of my skill and you have the nerve to doubt that? I challenge all of you to a duel, I will beat you, you can have handicap i will still win.
