How to play as Akuma in HSF?

[shotoaddict]

I have tried the directions on this page (since this information doesn't appear on the Xbox gamefaqs page for AE and it should be the same game right?):

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/920219.html


Highlight the following people for about 1 second each: Ryu, T.Hawk, Guile, Cammy, then Ryu again. Then press Start and all 3 punch buttons simultaneously. Note: You can only play as Akuma in Super T mode.

I have also tried this with waiting 3 seconds each with no luck.

I thought I had it figured out when I realized that on the Xbox version the 'start' button mentioned in these directions is actually the 'back' button. But alas, I still have not gotten to play as Akuma.


Please help!

All those reads and no posts tells me I am simply not pressing start (back) and PPP at truly the same moment. I am trying this with the my street fighter controller (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255515.asp). What I'm doing is placing my index middle and ring fingers across the punch buttons and pressing the back button with my left hand's thumb. I guess I'm just not coordinated enough. :rolleyes:

I'll try it with my joystick tonight..

how about you just play a real character. There is no honor in akuma.

Hey I just wanna horse around that's all. I've never ever played this 'game breaking' Akuma for myself. I've only ever seen him in combo videos. Oh, and I've also seen him one time on an XBL match in which I received the inevitable beat down.

Yea, it was just the SF controller messing me up. I get it to work every time with my joystick now that I know to press the back button instead of the start button.
