In the game, there’s a secret code that was found by a player named Gizaha on the Zeldix forums, who discovered it when they were trying to reverse engineer the game. The cheat was later confirmed by Event Hubs, who tried it themselves. There are a few steps to this but this is the shorthand version of how to get it done. First, you have to complete Street Fighter Alpha 2‘s Arcade Mode with a new high score with any character, but when you enter your initials at the end of the game, they must be “KAJ”. When you go back to the title screen, take Controller #2 and hold down L, X, Y, and Start. As that’s happening, take the first controller to head into Versus mode. From here, select Akuma by hitting the Start button and his Gi will turn purple. What’s more, both players can do this and fight each other as Shin Akuma.
