this is getting rediculous, ive done everything, from what online says to what the strategy guide says

it seems like every website is different when it comes to unlockin him.

so far i have beat the game with akuma once the normal way nothign special, then the second time i beat it i did 3 ultra finishes and 2 perfects, and to no avail gouken didnt pop up.

so after that i used Ryu because a few online sights say to use him after you beat the game with Akuma, and i did the same thing 3 ultras and 2 Perfects.

AND GUESS WHAT HAPPEND, Akuma challenged me again, not gouken,

THe strategy guide is the worse though cause it just says beat arcade mode with akuma to get gouken but that is way wrong

Also the guy that made a thread about unlocking all characters was also wrong when it comes to getting Gouken.

SO WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY?!?! im so confused

After unlocking Akuma, you have to beat the game with him once. Just complete it with him. After that, pick any character you've already beat the game with (I chose Ryu). Then it should be 2 perfects and at least 3 Ultra finishes without continuing. I used 3 rounds to give myself more of an opportunity to get the Ultras. That should work, and it's the method I used. Hope that helps and doesn't lead you astray.

Um no, that's wrong. I unlocked Gouken with Ken. You have to beat the game with Akuma first before you face/unlock Gouken. I faced Gouken before beating the game with Akuma and I didn't unlock him. After I beat the game with Akuma, I tried it again with Ken and beat him. Then he was unlocked. I think the requirements go by the intros and endings. So beat the game with Akuma first, then choose the character best suited to you to unlock Gouken.

2 Perfects, 3 Ultra Finishes. Winning with a Super Combo doesn't count towards this so if you're in any trouble, feel free to use it as it doesn't effect this.

You don't even need 2 perfects. I used akuma and had 1 perfect, 3 ultra finishes and got Gouken to appear. I also had an ultra combo that didnt finish the round, but no idea if that affected anything. I just used single rounds with easiest setting.

The try before I got Gouken I had the requisite 2 perfects, 3 ultras and he did not appear. So I am not sure what the exact formula for him is.

The biggest thing you have to make sure of is you DO NOT lose a whole match. A continue will completely ruin your chances in getting gouken...but what everyone else said is accurate.

finish one match not round with a perfect. So if set to best of three that would mean u have to get two perfect rounds in a row if set to best of one you onle need one to finish the match! finish 3 matches not rounds with ultra finishes! so in other words set your matches to best of one. get one perfect match. Then finish the 3 with ultras. Oh and dont die. if you die you have to start over. My problem was that i kept finishing 1 round with a perfect and 3 rounds with ultras when i should have been getting 2 rounds with a perfect to complete the match and a total of 6 rounds with ultras to complete the 3 match requirement.

I think it absolutely stupid to have character that hard to unlock...

Unlocking characters should be a casual thing, i mean i got a wife i got a job and a life... i have like 2 days a week to play a game... how am i suppose to unlock thos guys?? this is very frustrating...

They really didnt give it to casual players in this street fighter...

Practice. Street Fighter requires you to learn. So use the training mode. In arcade mode, put it on easiest. This isn't Tekken or Soul Calibur where you can just do a special move just by pressing Foward + Punch.

Or better yet, try looking for a SF4 save file with all of the characters unlocked.

I think they do it this was so that you can learn the moves. Ultras with most characters really are not that hard to pull off with the PS3 controller.

I can tell you that this guy's method definitely works, I tried doing it with just 2 perfects and three ultras total, didn't work, then I switched it over to one round and did the same thing and it got him to appear.

I hear you, I have been playing this since ... uh, street figher one, yes one, with the huge buttons. I don't have time anymore to unlock everything, and I'm really not all that excited about unlocking everything... my problem is with seth. I continually whip him the first round and then catch two beat downs. what's up with that?

i was just having this problem too, here is what u have to do and it will work...its seems u all did this but yea, after unlocked akuma u beat the arcade once with him, then u choose any character u want, i chose Ryu and go thru the arcade again, i did best of 3 on easiest, u cannot lose a single round, get no continues, u need to get at least 2 perfects, 5 super or ultra combo finishes (they both count towards it) and obviously supers are easier cuz u don't have to risk your health and u need a minimum of getting the first 10 hits in a match, after u beat seth u face gouken, beat him and he's unlocked, thats the official requirements for unlocking him according to capcom...just make sure its best of 3 rounds, i normally just the perfects the first round and the beatin i give the opponent charges up my super to use for the kill on the 2nd round...pretty easy, just frustrating to know exactly what u have to do
