How To Unlock Gouken and Akuma in Street Fighter 4

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
