I'll let Azure/Setsuna know about this method

Wonderful. The fact that you can confirm that you don't have to perform the Ensemble Assist in any of the matches is good enough for me. The solution has been perfectly edited.

It will be up to anybody else if they want to test if whether or not you can quit out or not. If they can confirm anything please leave a reply here!

LOL, seems I've got this shortly right after Randoman posting the tips, also, use the sparring trick to make it faster with their Lv.3 moves and such.

So I can't seem to get Ensemble Cast. I'm following your parameters and have cleared 30 matches. To add to detail, I've been playing 30 sec matches where a few have reached the time limit, and I'm doing versus with a dummy controller. Are either of these factors preventing me from the achievement?

Edit: Yea finally got it. I don't think you could let the time expire, so I recommend NOT setting the clock to 30. Only thing I could thing of that prevented me. Anyways, got it :]

IDK about time limits, which may or may not work, but at least you can play this in versus with a 2nd controller being idle.

You can play in versus and I don't think time outs affect it. Are you going back to character selection screen after each match or are you hitting "Play Again"?
I'm 100% sure you can use the play again option when playing with 1 character (since I was doing it when I unlocked the achievement on my main account), but I can't tell if it works while playing teams of 2 and 3.

So from what i hear for the variety achievement you can just press play again when the match is over 10 times for 1 character right? Then for 2 and 3 when the match is over you have to select 2/3 different characters every single time?

Characters should NOT matter, selecting Random will be just fine. However, avoid selecting "Play Again". Instead, select Change Characters and continue fulfilling the requirements. It's safer this way and confirmed to work unlike the "Play Again" option.

I'm going to confirm this right now. I'll edit this post later

EDIT: well, it didn't work. I started playing with a team of 3. Random and Ensemble assists for all of them. Played 10 matches using the "Play Again" option. After that I used a team of 2, same parameters, Random and Ensemble assists for all characters. Played all matches using Play Again. Then with only 1 character, play again all the time and nothing happened when I hit the 30rd match.
This should probably be related with the assists, you may have to choose them again after each match

Got it, I'll re-edit the solution once again. Guess it's just safer to keep changing characters every time as I had originally said!

Great Guide man

[rabblerouser]

for me, I tried ms fortune on a second controller and tagged out with no head on the first. no achievement

[Tripp3K]

Thanks a lot, got my 200g about a week ago! This guide is greatly appreciated!

Do you guys know how many hits it take for Painwheel's achievement? I swear I've been at it for an hour and nothing. I know it counts only if she turns red n counterhits but how many hits in total?

Never mind I got it through an alternate method. I found it on another site and it involves setting up a match with her vs cerebella.

"Set it up like so: Use your own level 3 (same motion as above) to give yourself a damage boost, then have Cerebella perform her level 3. After that, but before the screen turns dark, charge HP or c.HK to start absorbing so that you absorb the diamond and hit her. Immediately cancel into death crawl (quarter circle forward and two punches) and you should easily have done enough damage to unlock the achievement."
