Kim: Extra attack
Unlock the "Extra options" and change the Groove Gauge to "Infinite". Choose Kim as one of your fighters. When in battle, use his Phoenix Kick super move. When you hit the opponent, he or she cannot maintain themselves in the air after the hit. At the correct moment, you can hit them again with the same attack. If timed correctly, you can do a 3-hit combo/knockout with Kim's Phoenix Kick.
Mai: Chun-Li like appearance
First, choose either Mai or Chin-Li. Then, choose the opposite character. Mai will now look like Chun-Li.
Yun: Extra attack
You can add an extra attack to his 3-hit super upper punch attack. When you use the move, after you launch your opponent in the air with the upper punch, wait for about half a second and execute his push and stomp attack. You will immediately launch your opponent to the other side of the screen, and the attack calculator on the side will mark it as a 4-hit combo.
Getting a Finest KO
Beat up your opponent until his/her life is low enough to finish them off with a special KO. Stand near your opponent and wait for them to taunt you. Then, do the special move and you will get a finest KO. You also have to either beat the mini-Boss, or receive 1500 GPS before you finish the final round in Osaka to get to Ultimate Rugal.
Unlocking Shin Akuma and Ultimate Rugal easily
Use the character shown on the groove selection screen (in arcade mode) on the left. For example, Ryu for C-groove, Terry for N-groove, etc. The other character(s) can be anyone desired. Doing this takes you to Ultimate Rugal if you picked one of the Capcom grooves and characters, and to Shin Akuma if you picked a SNK groove and character.
Easy Boss challenge mode
Choose a good fighter such as Ken or Ryu. When you are facing the last Boss, if you are losing by one round and there is not a lot of power remaining, press [Start] on controller two and repeat until you win.
Use Haomaru the samurai. He looks weak and slow, but his slash and jump slash has a wide range and also does big damage. If you jump around with Airguard equipped and slash at the correct time, you will not have a problem defeating any Boss.
Easy survival mode
After unlocking the Extra Options, go to "Option Mode" at the main menu. Go to "Extra Options", select "Player One Life Gauge Type" and change it to "No Damage". Then, go to "Groove Gauge Type" and change it to "Infinite". After this, start survival mode and defeat all 46 characters without taking damage and your Groove Bar will always be full.
There is an easy way to win when playing in "All Survival" mode. Go to the options menu and set the difficulty to the minimum. Next, set the damage level to maximum. Exit the menu and select the "All Survival" mode. Choose the S Groove and continue to the character selection screen. Then, choose Zangief. Keep getting your opponent in the corner and grab him/her endlessly. Notice that this move does more damage than before. The best damaging move is the Russian Aerial Spin when done at its highest level. Your enemy should go down quickly. It is possible to complete the game in seventeen minutes by doing this. Note: You will fight Shin Akuma and Ultimate Rugal at the end. After accomplishing this, you will unlock the infinite edit Groove points.
Infinite combo
If you have Ex 1 or Ex 2 groove with infinite groove points, you can create a endless chain of level 2 super combos. If Ex 1 or Ex 2 groove is like the C groove, you can use almost any level 2 super combo if you have unlimited super combo gauge. If you start with a level 2 super combo, you can keep hitting your opponent until you want to stop. You just have to keep hitting the buttons for the super combo. You can finish by doing any level 3 super combo. This works well for Ken's Shoryu Reppa or just about any level 2 super combo, then finish with a level three or one combo. This is useful for eliminating Bosses such as Ultimate Rugal or Shin Akuma.
Easy points
Set the levels on the easiest level and increase the damage. Fight the first person. He or she is very easy. Do good damage and make sure you end the first round with the Super Combo. Play the second round. Beat them up, then press [Start] on controller two to enter a versus fight. The points you have accumulated just before the second player joins will be the same when you return to fight the first person again. You will also have to defeat them twice. You can keep repeating this process until you have accumulated the desired amount of points.
Successfully complete all survivor mode, with any EX set if needed. Attempt to create an EX groove greater than 4000 points. Answer "Yes" and the game will allow you to do so.
Blanka: Defeating M. Bison
Using the S Groove and Blanka, hold "C-Stick Down" to do a Electric Shield Move. M. Bison will try to jump and attack at you. Instead of landing the hit, he will double back on his jump and return to where he jumped from. Upon his landing, he will be vulnerable for a moment. Try to hit him with the forward roll while his defenses are down. To do a forward roll, press "C-stick Forward". This attack will damage him and give you enough time to return to your Electric Shield before he attacks again. Repeat until M. Bison is defeated.
Street Fighter 2 music
Set up a match with Ryu versus Sagat in training mode. At times music from Street Fighter 2 will play.
Street Fighter 3 reference
In any mode, go to the stage in England. At the far right edge of the screen, you can see Dudley in the background reading a newspaper. Dudley was a British boxer from the Street Fighter 3 games.
