Introduction

Street Fighter IV consists of 48 trophies (27 offline, 20 online), which you can get in Arcade mode and in different Challenge modes. Also, some offline trophies can be obtain in online battles.

Step 1 - Arcade Mode

Begin the arcade mode with any of the 16 characters that you are good with. If you aren't good with any of them, I would suggest going into training mode and learning some of characters moves. There are 8 battles in arcade mode that you must complete. There are unlockable characters that you must get with certain characters in order to get The World Warrior trophy. (All explained in the guide)

Step 2 - Challenge Mode

It is best to do this mode after you have achieved all 25 characters in arcade mode. Don't take these challenges for granted, they are quite hard to complete, especially if you are trying to receive a gold medal for each one. There are 100 challenges that you must complete (Time Attack, Survival, Trial). You will also receive a reward after each certain challenge. (All explained in the guide)

Step 3 - Online Mode

These online trophies are easy, but a few of them are time consuming. You can do this online mode before the challenge mode, but that's entirely up to you though. If you want to boost the wins and playing many online battles use this thread to find yourself an online partner.

Titles are what you get for doing certain things in battle. There are 432 titles and 240 icons to achieve in order to get both trophies. Here's a list of titles & icons and how to get them. (Credit goes to X360A)
Special Move Master

Perform 100 Special Moves.
To take a look at each characters special move, press , go to Command List, and choose a character. All of your character's Special Moves should be listed there.
EX-cellent Master

Perform 100 EX Special Moves.
EX Special Moves are performed the same way you do a special move, except you'll have to press two of the same type of attack buttons at the same time. This will also drain 1 EX bar each time you perform these moves.

Example of Ryu's EX's:

EX Senpukyaku - + (or instead of pressing , it can be any kick button)
EX Hadoken - + (or instead of pressing , it can be any punch button)
Super Combo Master

Perform 100 Super Combos.
A Super Combo can be performed once your EX gauge is completely full. Look in your Command List to figure out how to perform your character's Super Combo. Note, your EX gauge stays filled between rounds, but not matches though. If you have three or more rounds set, you should be able to have it filled by the second round.

Example of Ryu's Super Combo:

Shinku Hadoken - , + (or instead of pressing , you can press any 2 punch buttons)
Ultra Combo Master

Perform 100 Ultra Combos.
A Ultra Combo can be performed once your 'Revenge Bar' fills up halfway and starts flaming and flashing. You can let it fill up all the way for extra damage. Ultra's are the same as Super's, but instead you have to push all 3 buttons instead of 1.

Example of Ryu's Ultra Combo:

Metsu Hadoken - , + (or instead of pressing , you can press together at the same time)
Focus Master

Perform 100 successful Focus Attacks.
A Focus Attack can be performed by pushing medium kick and medium punch at the same time. When it comes to this kind of attack, it's about timing it.
Crowd Pleasing Master

Perform 10 Personal Actions.
A Personal Action (Taunt) can be performed by pushing the + together at the same time.
Super Combo Champion

Perform 50 Super Combo finishes.
You have to end the match by defeating your opponent, using a Super Combo.
Ultra Combo Champion

Perform 50 Ultra Combo finishes.
You have to end the match by defeating your opponent, using a Ultra Combo.
Sunny Daze

Perform 365 flashy background finishes.
(3)
You have to defeat your opponent 365 times, with either a Super or Ultra Combo.
Simply Perfect

Achieve 10 Perfect victories.
To make things easier, you can set the difficulty to easiest in Arcade mode and defeat your opponent each time with Perfects. This also counts by rounds, and not matches.
Arcade Rat

Clear Arcade Mode with 1 character on Medium or higher difficulty.
See Storied Reputation
Storied Reputation

Clear Arcade Mode with all characters on Medium or higher difficulty.
(1)
Self explanatory.

An easier way to do this is by setting the rounds to 1 with 30 seconds of time. You can pick Zangief and keep using his spin technique. Once you get to Seth, you can either try and take him out or do more damage than he does to you, and block until the time rounds out.

Credit goes to wii60own for the Zangief technique.
Save Your Quarters

Clear Arcade Mode without using a single continue on Medium or higher difficulty.
Self explanatory.

To get this done over quickly, set the rounds to 1 and 30 seconds.
World Champion

Clear Arcade Mode on Hardest difficulty.
See Legendary Champion
Legendary Champion

Defeat Gouken and clear Arcade Mode in Hardest difficulty.
(5)
In order to make Gouken appear, you must successfully complete Arcade mode with Akuma, then play Arcade mode with any character. Set the rounds to 1 with 30 seconds. Get at least one 'Perfect' victory, three 'Ultra' combo finishes, five 'First Attack' hits, and do not lose a single round to fight Gouken after beating Seth. Defeat Gouken to unlock him. I would suggest pressing the button on a second controller, and when your about to lose, just press on it. This will prevent you from losing to him. Defeat your second controller and you will go back to him afterwards. (Note: people have been having a problem making him appear, just keep trying and he'll eventually appear.)

Here's a thread, from X360A (credit goes to them), on techniques on how to beat Seth.

*These trophies can be completed in any game mode that allows you to defeat your opponent. This includes Arcade, Versus (local and online), Survival and/or Time Attack. They do not unlock in Training or Trial.

Speed King

Cleared HARD Time Attack in Challenge Mode.
Time Attacks will take awhile to do, depending on your skill and if you are trying to receive the gold medal. All the normal challenges are easy to do if you do the Zangief technique. You can't do Special Moves on Level 14, so you can read below on how to pass it.

Choose Dhalsim and use his Heavy Kick() and Heavy Punch() all the time until you have a Super or Ultra Combo, and then unleash it when you see a chance. The first opponent should be Honda, if so, keep your distance and guard a lot. The difficult part will be Akuma. When he does his Ultra, jump in the air. If you get hit, press and start over, because you're done for if you get hit by it. Watch the timer because you only get 5 seconds/match. Use your Ultra's if you have an opening, just like Super, it will give you bonus seconds. (Credit goes to X360A)
