List of cheats/codes

List of hidden cheats and/or codes. Throughout the Street Fighter series, there are hidden secrets that can only be found via a button combination or a secret unlocking method.

Street Fighter

The following is for the PC Engine CD-ROM² System version titled Fighting Street.

• Easy Special Moves, Stage Select, and 7 Credits: The player needs to place in the high scores and enter .SD as their initials. Then at the title screen, hold Left, Button I, and Button II and press Select. The code will work if 7 credits are displayed at the title screen. A stage select menu appears upon starting the game which includes the ending, and Special Moves can be performed easily by holding Forward (for Hadoken), Down/Forward (for Shoryuken) and Back (for Tatsumaki Senpukyaku) and pressing Select.
• Bonus Ending Sequence: This version has an additional scene where Ryu/Ken leave in the airport upon completion of the game. Finishing the game four times in a row displays Ryu/Ken arriving at their destination where they are received by a bunch of cameramen. Using the code above and seeing the ending four times results in this as well.

Street Fighter II series

The following includes The World Warrior, Champion Edition, Hyper Fighting, The New Challengers, and Grand Master Challenge.

• Display Character and Credits Usage (For both previous SFII iterations before Hyper Fighting): This arcade-only code is entered during a fight following the attract sequence (mostly Blanka vs Guile in The World Warrior and M. Bison vs Sagat in Champion Edition). The player have to press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, MP, LP on the 2P side to display a row of numbers. The top numbers are for a number of coins inserted in the machine, the bottom numbers display the number of times each fighter has been selected in the game.

• Button Configuration Screen (For Street Fighter II’s 16-bit ports): Before the first match in Arcade Mode, the player can hold down the Select button to open the button configuration screen to make last-minute changes. Hold Start if playing Street Fighter II’ Plus (the Genesis/MegaDrive port). From Street Fighter II’ Turbo (the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo port), it can be done before any match. In any game, it can be done before any match in any game mode, except the original SFII's Arcade Mode, which only works after character selection.

• Remove Vitality Gauge Display (SFII’s SFC/SNES ports only): Enter Option Mode and press Start to return to the attract sequence, repeat 27 times. Then select Game Start or V.S. Battle. The title music will continue playing and the vitality gauges and sound will disappear from the game. The game locks up after one round is completed, the player has to reset the game.

• Enter Championship Mode (SFII’s SFC/SNES ports only): At the Capcom symbol, press Down, R, Up, L, Y, and B in order (in the Super Famicom port, the code is Down, R, Up, L, Y, B, X, A). If done correctly, a sound will be heard to confirm to correct entry. This will give the title screen and every fighter a different color scheme. For the code to work, the player needs to hit reset on the console, however. Since hitting reset in the Virtual Console is the same as hitting the Power button, this doesn't work on the Wii Virtual Console release.

• View Each Character Profile (SFII’s SFC/SNES ports only): When Ryu's (or any character's) profile is displayed on the screen, hold both L and R buttons on controller 2. When it disappears, the profile of the next character will be displayed. Keep holding to continue displaying profiles.

  • When the game is completed on difficulty level 8, a picture of Ryu (Champion Mode) or Chun-Li (Hyper Mode) appears at the end of the credits. Input the code to change their outfit color. If entered three times, they change to the color of the other mode (Ryu changes to Hyper Fighting colors, Chun-Li to Champion Edition colors).
  • If using a 3 button controller, the code is entered as Down, C, Up, A, A, B, B, C

• Character Colors (Super Street Fighter II): Each button, including the Start button, selects a different outfit color. There is also an eighth color chosen by holding down any attack button for a few seconds, except the Start button.

  • Hold X, Triangle and R2 while selecting certain game modes to enable alternate modes:
    • Arcade - EX Arcade features M. Bison as a regular opponent in SFA for characters that do not fight him as a final boss.

For SFA3 and Upper, characters such as Juli, Juni, Balrog, Guile, Fei-Long, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, Evil Ryu and even Shin Akuma may show up as well.
    • Versus - Random Versus initiates a match with two randomly selected fighters and cycles through the stages in order. Works on all games. The pause menu gives the player a list of characters to enable and disable and in SFA3 and Upper, it gives them a list of fighting styles and modes as well. End this mode from the pause menu.
    • Dramatic Battle - Drama Survival plays the arcade course and allows the player to choose two characters, except in SFA3 were a partner is automatically assigned. Two players can cooperate in this mode.

Just like Ryu's weapon, it can be charged; however, unlike the regular weapon, it consumes no energy, can only be used on the ground, and halts Mega Man's movement until it is released (though he can still move up and down elevators).

Once Seiei Enbu is activated, however, the player is locked to the Mega Buster until the gauge is fully depleted.
