All Secrets/Hidden Characters Guide (All 12 games)

A guide to all hidden characters & secrets in all 12 Street Fighter games in this collection.

Introduction

I'm creating this guide to help my fellow Street Fighter fans get the most out of this awesome Arcade collection. (I'm not going to go into Glitches or things like Bonus endings, I may add them to this guide but this is more to show people that these Arcade version hide a lot of things.)

NOTE: These are ALL the hidden codes and secrets. DO NOT POST comments about unlocking Shin Akuma in the Alpha games, GILL in the Street Fighter III games, etc. The Street Fighter games in 30th Anniversary are emulated Arcade games, and do not have unlock-able Shin Akuma/Gill etc. I took great time verifying everything, if you want to make your own guide that is full of bullcrap that doesn't work, then go ahead but this guide is for people that just want the truth. I own all the original arcade PCBs AND most of the home ports. This is the DEFINITIVE Arcade list, which is what all the 30th Anniversary games use. Enough, please!

I'll be listing here ONLY codes that I've verified that work. And remember these are the Arcade versions so no comments saying I've missed how to play as Shin Akuma in Alpha 2 (you can't in the US Arcade version which is the only version in this collection), or how to select Guile in Alpha 3 (he's not in the Arcade version, which is the only Alpha 3 in this collection), etc...

Here's the legend;

1P = Player 1
2P = Player 2
1P Start = Player 1 Start Button
2P Start = Player 2 Start Button
UP = Up on the Controller
DOWN = Down on the Controller
LEFT = Left on the Controller
RIGHT = Right on the Controller
LP = Light Punch (also known as JAB)
MP = Medium Punch (also known as STRONG)
HP = Heavy Punch (also known as FIERCE)
2P = Any two punch buttons pressed simultaneously
3P = Any three punch buttons pressed simultaneously
LK = Light Kick (also known as SHORT)
MK = Medium Kick (also known as FORWARD)
HK = Heavy Kick (also known as ROUNDHOUSE)
2K = Any two kick buttons pressed simultaneously
3K = Any three kick buttons pressed simultaneously

Street Fighter

No known Secrets/unlockables.

Originally posted by "Shoryuken.com Forum":

There's also a 3rd option: win against 12 human opponents in a row and then hold down any button except Start for 2 seconds at the win quote screen. This rarely mentioned option has an even less mentioned caveat, which is that dictator's stage must be next in 1-player mode. That means all 11 AI characters in 1-player mode before dictator must have been defeated and greyed out. In other words, Shin Gouki can only be fought in dictator's stage.

[Shin Akuma da Stin]

if you want to play as gill in sf3 or shin akuma in sf3 second impact, here's the savefiles for you to download, this way you won't have to do the whole freeplay demo takeover glitch from crystalcube99 youtube channel:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZBngrdEwgbH80iIV1w13m42dHcWfzv6c?usp=sharing


the savefiles are located in someplace with a similar name to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\22662101\586200\remote


here's a video of the arcade mode for gill:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smCN90lwYcg&t=464s

in sf3 si you cant finish the game with bosses

in third strike, unless you glitch freeplay multiple times, the arcade mode is all gill fights lol.

[Evil Ryu]

[MidnightPhreaker]

@j.woerlee1 You cannot play Gill in 3rd Strike in the Arcade (CPS3) version which is the only version included in SF30th. Please stop trying to confuse people, You can in the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox home ports but it does not work in the Arcade/CPS3 version included here!
