Through reverse engineering, YouTuber Myriachan discovered a few years back that by inputting a special code on the name entry screen on the second controller, and then naming Ryu after certain familiar Street Fighter characters, you’ll be able to unlock saves that start you off later into the game.

You’ll even get a level increase, some equipment and 100,000 zenny.

To make this work,

- Go to New Game and select a blank file to get to Ryu’s naming screen. - On controller 2, press and hold A, Y, L and R while you press the following directions on controller 1: up 4 times, right 2 times, down 8 times, and left 1 time. - If you did it correctly, the background will turn red. If not, cancel out and retry. - Switch back to controller 1 and enter one of the following names without hitting backspace. Keep in mind it has to be case sensitive:

RYU / きよみ (Kiyomi) CHUN / コジー (Cozy) VEGA / なふきん (Napkin) KEN / バンブー (Bamboo) DeeJ / ドン (Don) Fei

If you mess up, the screen will turn blue and you’ll have to try again.

Once you confirm the name, the screen will turn back to blue and you can adjust your settings and start the game.
