Play as Dan Hibiki in Street Fighter Alpha

[Kokapetl]

Apparently it's done like this: (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_Alpha/Secrets#Play_as_Dan)
but for the life of me I can't do it. Anyone want to try?

I have found out something pretty cool though. How to combine 2 cheats (play as Bison and play against Akuma).
You do the Bison code and immediately after pressing the final buttons you quickly press and hold both Mediums and don't let go of Start.

Also - for dramatic battle and when playing against Akuma, it doesn't matter what difficulty you have the machine set on. They're both always set at level 8.

Just a thought but have you tried insert ing credits and as you hit start holding it from that point until after you've fished the code? hopefully that makes sense.

In other words don't hit start to go to the character select screen and then hitand hold start. Just hit and hold it once.

If that fails check the mame cheats, i use them to select the hidden characters in alpha 3 because i find it way easier then codes.

Thank you! You were absolutely right! Very strange that every other cheat doesn't require you to do this.

To select Dan you press and hold start to join the game and keep holding it. The character select screen shows up, you move to your player's random select box and quickly press
either LP, LK, MK, HK, HP, MP (begin at light punch and press all buttons in a counter-clockwise circle)
or HP, HK, MK, LK, LP, MP (begin at heavy punch and press all buttons in a clockwise circle)

This has to be done quite quickly, I found the easiest way to do the cheat consistently do it was to hold start with the "heel" of my right hand. Then I'd use my right hand for all the required punch inputs and for the kicks I would just slide a finger across using my left hand.

Thanks for the idea, it never occurred to me because none of the other cheats required you to hold start so early. For those interested - the "Fight Akuma" cheat works together with the "Play as Dan" cheat. Just keep holding start and immediately after the Dan code you press and hold MP+MK (this is an extremely hard match up!).

I'll post my custom moves list artwork (which includes the cheats) soon. At the moment it's based off the SF ZERO moves list artwork, does anyone have a scan of the SF ALPHA moves list?

Here's my custom artwork for this game, with all cheats!
