Akuba: Special combo
To do one of the special combo moves, quickly press
[Square]x2, [Towards], [X], [R1]. Note: You
must have the C groove on with the default setting.
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 God 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.
Goro Damien cameo
Have a match featuring Kyo vs. Bermiriu (fighter who
puts his hair straight up) at the Shanghai stage to see a special
cameo by Goro Damien. He will be sitting in the background of
the rotating platform watching the fight, making gestures every
time someone gets hit.
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.
