Street Fighter Alpha 1 [Arcade] - play as Akuma
This is a playthrough using Akuma in the Arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 1. Read on below for more information... Akuma is a hidden boss in the game. He is a hidden playable character. ===== HOW TO SELECT AKUMA ===== ---- For Player 1: 1) On the character select screen, highlight the Random [?] box. 2) Hold the Start button, and press Down, Down, Down, Left, Left, Left and then press LP + HP or LK + HK. ---- For Player 2: 1) On the character select screen, highlight the Random [?] box. 2) Hold the Start button, and press Down, Down, Down, Right, Right, Right, and then press LP + HP or LK + HK. (LP + HP gives you the default colour palette, and LK + HK gives you the alternate colour palette) ===== ABOUT AKUMA ===== Probably the most famous fighting game secret/hidden boss character, and the staple Street Fighter antagonist of Ryu. He is essentially a head-swap character in the 2D games, but there is no doubt that he has developed his own unique persona and style as the SF series progressed - the way he performed his moves became more and more different from Ryu/Ken. ===== GAMEPLAY ===== Alpha 1 Akuma is certainly a very strong character to use... if I were to describe this version of him, then I would say that he is basically like an "in-between" of SFA2's regular Akuma and Shin Akuma. Basically stronger than regular Akuma, but not quite on Shin Akuma's level. ===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ===== ---- Obviously, he can only be fought against as a hidden boss in the game. ---- His personal boss in the game is M.Bison. ---- SFA1 is the only game where Akuma has some unique voices and grunts. They were changed for SFA2 and beyond. ---- His brother Gouken, and his master Goutetsu, appear in his ending. ---- When performing his Teleport, the trailing shadows behind him are blue. ---- Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan. ---- The game is known as Street Fighter Zero in Japan. ---- In the Saturn version of the game, when you win a round with a throw, the win icon shows a baseball. This is different to the PS1 and Arcade versions where it showed a rope instead. ---- In the Saturn version of the game, when fighting on Charlie's background, when you win a round there is no crowd noise (when they throw the money). On the PS1 and Arcade versions, the crowd makes a noise. ===== ABOUT SFA1 ===== This is the game that kicked off the brilliant Alpha series of Street Fighter. Despite Alpha 1 being a bit "broken" competitively-wise, it is still a fun game to go back to every now and then. It is also the only Alpha game with chain combos as one of it's core mechanics.
