Street Fighter IV, unlocking Akuma and Gouken on the first try.
There has been a lot of talk about how to unlock Akuma and Gouken in Street Fighter IV here lately and it’s been revealed once and for all. One of my favorite sites made a post with a link to the Capcom blog in regards to getting the two most wanted warriors in Street Fighter IV. Now you know exactly how to get them, good for you.
Even though Seth on the easiest setting can be beaten without too much trouble, i decided to try something out. I found a 100% sure fire way to get Akuma and Gouken in just 3 short arcade runs once you unlock the rest of the characters.
Firstly, do exactly as the blog from capcom told you to do, just add in something I like to call “the safety switch”. What do I mean by this? What I mean is have a 2nd controller hooked up, connected, whatever, to your console. What this allows you to do is interrupt and basically restart a fight if things aren’t going your way by pressing start on the 2nd controller, then you can quickly beat the uncontrolled player and get back to things at hand.
When you hit start on the 2nd controller, win, and go back, it’s as if you just started that fight for the first time. Didn’t get the first attack you needed that fight? Hit start. Looks like you’re going to lose? Hit start. It’s that easy.
By abusing the system properly you won’t have to go through arcade over and over again to get Akuma or Gouken. Now I know this isn’t fun and is horribly cheap, but it allows you to fill up your roster quickly, in case you have friends coming over or what not.
There you go my little children, the “safety switch”.

P.S. Yes I did end up unlocking Akuma and Gouken this way when I was testing them but have since gone though arcade again, fought them both, and beat them both, as a regular person would. Now to try it on a harder difficulty setting.
