Unlock Gill (Unlock All)

Beat the game with every selectable character (arcade or training path) to make Gill playable.

No code to type — unlock it through normal play as described.

Shin Akuma is NOT playable (Tips)

Sites listing a Shin Akuma code are wrong — he appears only as a boss in Ryu's stage; the PS2/DC versions never made him selectable.

No setup needed — try the tip in the situation described.

System Direction tricks (Misc)

Hidden System Direction menu entries (like recording parry timings) unlock after beating arcade with each character — the game's closest thing to a cheat menu.

No code to type — try the trick or feature described.

Elena's healing & parry timing (Tips)

Not a code, but the famous red-parry (parry during hit-stun) input is 3rd Strike's real 'secret tech' — practice in training with input display.

No setup needed — try the tip in the situation described.

No typed cheat codes exist (Tips)

3rd Strike's console version has no button codes — Gill joins the roster and the secret 'System Direction' options are the real unlocks.

No setup needed — try the tip in the situation described.
