How to Choose Akuma in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Not surprisingly, one of the first things I did this morning was buy Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix through the Xbox Marketplace for my Xbox 360. Believe me when I say that it’s definitely worth all 1200 Microsoft Points (or $14.99 through the PS3’s PSN). The 1080p HD graphics are great and the online play really makes this a winner.
While the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo involved a rather convoluted way of accessing Akuma (Gouki), the HD Remix makes the process a heck of a lot easier.
If you want to fight as Akuma in SSF2THDR:
Arcade Mode - Move your cursor over to Guile and press up. Akuma will appear in the “globe” portion of the screen.
Other Modes - Move your cursor to E. Honda and press up to access Akuma.
Akuma is remarkably powerful and his super is as awesome as ever. I haven’t figured out how to fight him in Arcade Mode yet (he’s supposed to replace M. Bison if you fulfill certain criteria), but I’ll fill you in when I do.
UPDATE (12/7/08): In order to fight Akuma in Arcade Mode you need to get to M. Bison (on any difficulty setting) without continuing, defeating the other eleven challengers in under 20 minutes. If you successfully do this, Akuma will show up and perform his super move on Bison, replacing him.
The beaten M.Bison will lie in the background for your first fight with Akuma. If you don’t beat him and have to continue, you’ll fight Akuma again, but Bison will no longer be in the background.
Contrary to some other reports on the Internet, it is not necessary to get any set number of perfect rounds nor do you need to not lose a single round in order to fight Akuma. For the Xbox 360 players in the audience, beating Akuma in Arcade Mode earns you 25 GamerScore points as part of the “Sheng Long is in another castle” achievement.

Props to your guide I actually got a PERFECT on Akuma!
It is important to let it be known that I used Forward Kick(Medium Kick)
for the jump in and for the Lightning Kick.
Be careful not to press down during the jump-in Kick as Chun-Li will perform a head stomp kick.
