【Secret Confessions : Pag May Alak, May Balak Fun Episode 9】

Shin Akuma is Secret Confessions : Pag May Alak, May Balak Fun Episode 9a playable fighter in Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengersfor Nintendo Switch. You just have to know how to find him.

Akumawas already on the USF2fighting roster, but ShinAkuma -- his demon form, which appeared as a hidden boss in Street Fighter Alpha 2-- is also accessible. Even better: the process of finding him is a welcome throwback to a time before the internet was a thing for games.

To use Shin Akuma, you have to punch in an elaborate button combination -- and you have to do it every time, since he doesn't remain unlocked. Capcom mapped how to do it last Friday, during the publisher's 30th anniversary panel for Street Fighterat the 2017 edition of San Diego Comic-Con (h/t GameSpot).

It's not hard to pull off, just a lot of steps to remember. First, head over to the game's character select screen. Once you're there, do the following with each of the listed fighter's costume color selections, in order:

1. Select Ryu, highlight "Color 1," and hit cancel.

2. Select Ken, highlight "Color 9," and hit cancel.

3. Select Sagat, highlight "Color 8," and hit cancel.

4. Select M. Bison, highlight "Color 7," and hit cancel.

5. Highlight the "Random" character selection box and press L and R simultaneously.

That's it. If you do it right, you should be able to play as Shin Akuma until you restart your game. Happy fighting!
