Achievement Discussion

[Shiftie]

Check out the achievement list here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/g.../achievements/
I've always wanted to be a Bazillionaire!

[SUBJECT BK201]

Bit dissapointed with the achievements actually. I wanted them to be a little more difficult or thought provoking, inventive. Like 'Perform a single combo that uses 3 or 4 methods of tagging'. Sounds difficult at first, but its not if you think about it closely.. Or 'Complete all Fight Lab chapters with an S rank' even. 'Perform 5 team specific tag combinations' that would at least make you want to explore more the characters relationships. 'Perform a Tag Assault combination with your buddy that does over 72 damage using pair-play' Stuff like that would go some way to make the game be approached more with some thought or intelligence rather than mash a quick 1000 and get rid of the game because theres nothing left. I hope Harada-san considers adding a trial mode DLC. I'd like to see some trials with some JFSR/EWGF's Like Tekken 6 had (kind of). At least you would kind of get to see a lot of the elements in the game that you don't notice are there. On the plus side though, this being easier means i will spend more time in the practice/online than dealing with these tasks.

The trophy for doing all the combos in fight lab might be hard.

I have a feeling they won't considering all the dumbed down inputs.. or maybe they'll make you do some kind of trial mode with the Combot using original inputs.. i hope thats a possibility.

[Plym]

Little disappointing to see that it might be even easier than Tekken 6 to 100%.

[Warpath Wolf]

Don't know how hard some of them will be, like all combos in the fight lab. I don't mind a moderate list.

[Dead Herb]

Looks easy enough but unlike many games its the longevity of playing the game long after getting the achievements that im looking forward to.

[TG Wolf]

What I like is that there is few online achievements.
I like playing online but I don't like feeling I'm being forced to.

[Hanzo Zer0]

Wow...I know i can knock out atleast 20 of these in one sitting.

[MarkoSkater]

cheevos for this seem alot easier then that of tekken 6.

Probably late for this quick tip buuuut.
If you use Law the fight is kinda easy. Just flip kick and repeat.

[SUBJECT BK201]

Some tips for people when they get their hands on the game:

When going for money (stuff kind of costs alot in the game on a per character basis), some of the quicker methods i have found involve playing arcade mode (i played on default settings with my main team). One run there yields over 2,000,000 (you get 2mil for completing the game on top of what you earn through the battles.
EDIT: Correction, you're only getting that 2 million the first time through arcade mode, you will not recieve it using the same team again.

Fight Labs' stage 5 Boss Battle can net you around 200,000-260,000G and its pretty easy to S rank if you have a good choice of moves (you only really need no more than 6 to achieve that. However, depending on the moves you use to complete the stage will affect how much development points you can earn. Weaker moves in your juggle = more dev. points. Using more damaging moves will just let you finish the stage quicker at the cost of less dev. points but yielding a little more gold. This battle can be finished in as little as 70 seconds. Averaging about 230,000G + 50,000DP every 80 seconds.

Ghost battle is the place to be to unlock the character specific customize items. You can average around 44,000-52,000G per fight. You can also unlock ending movies this way too. After a while you will notice a gold title on the opponent selection, picking this and winning the battle will give you 1-2 customize items, character panel (depending on your rank) and an ending movie. I've unlocked around 15 movies on my main profile and i've not played arcade mode once yet.

[Killbomb]

From the vids I've been watching, it looks like you can unlock quite a few achievements in either practice or versus modes.

[SUBJECT BK201]

You can actually do nearly half the list in practice alone. Anything combat mechanic related can be done in practice mode. Tag crashes, 62 damage, reversals, 10-strings, tag assault, tag combo, bounds and escaping Alisa's uf+1+2 throw. Literally everything.

Anyone know how to get the "Dance To Your Own Beat" achievement? I've tried changing music from a stage a couple of times and it doesn't unlock. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Do you have any music on your hard drive? If not , put a song or two on it and go back to Tekken tunes. Pick a stage, switch to your original music library and choose a song for that stage.

As for the "Tekken Black Belt" achievement, I achieved 1st dan, but didnt get the achievement. It did unlock after I had won a match while as a 1st dan. I'm guessing that it will also unlock if you win your 1st kyu to 1st dan promotion match (can anybody confirm this?).

So that's how it works? Let me try it out...

Update: It works! The thing is, after doing what you told me to do, it's important to make sure to exit out of the mode completely. Once I did that, the achievement unlocked. Thank you!

[J.Kurokaze]

Definitely a plus!

[Mr1721]

Don't think you can boost in ranked matches for the achievement to get to 1st Dan. It only takes around 10 wins to get to 1st Dan anyway. If you're having trouble give it a few days until all the better players have moved up in the ranks. Also, before you search, choose the option to only play people +/- 3 ranks.

You can also keep playing and you'll eventually get to 1st dan. I was 4-26 when i got it (I suck at fighting games, but I love them so much, lol).

Don't you have to win matches to get promoted though in online ranked matches?

[SIN REKA]

From my experience, not really. You'll get the next rank, though it'll take longer to rank up if you don't win. Right now, both my mains are 1st dan.

So even if you lose, you'll still rank? That's cool. I always thought that if you win, you'l get it, but if you lose, you won't get the promotion.

Anybody know the easiest people to get The Best of Friends achivement and/or the 10 Hit Combo, also how do you do a low parry. These are the last 3 combat related achievements I need

[FeLizP]

For The Best of Friends select the team of Devil Jin and Kazuya in Practice or Versus Mode then do the following grab move.

Forward > Forward +LP +RP > TAG

Then repeat twice more for the achievement. Inputs may require certain speeds.

For the Low Parry set up a two player versus match and pick whoever you want. When the fight starts, get both players in close distance and do a low kick with you 2nd controller and at the same time press down-forward on your 1st controller. You should get a counter if timed properly. Repeat twice more for the achievement.


Lastly the 10-hit combo, which can be done with Yoshimitsu. You can do this in Practice or Versus as well. Perform the following combo as Yoshimitsu, you need to input it very fast with inputs ahead of the ones as they come out.

X > Y > X > B > B > B > X > X > X

Some slashes followed by some kicks then more slashes. It will read 10-hits if done right. Repeat this combo twice more for the Flying Butt-Kicker achievement.

This game has 48 achievements for 1000 and is the fifth main versus-fighting installment in the Dead or Alive franchise. It was the first main title of the series to be released in seven years, following on from Dead or Alive 4 in 2005 and it is be the twelfth game in the series overall. Dead or Alive 5 was developed and produced by Team Ninja for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Due to a new partnership formed between Tecmo Koei and the Sega Corporation, Sega is handling the publication and distribution of the title in Europe while Tecmo Koei is publishing it in all other regions. If you're not familiar with the numerical notations for fighting games please see HERE. The following guide will use these notations: P (Punch) K (Kick) H (Hold) T (Throw) Are you a fighter? Because you will have to be if you're intent on getting 1000 for this game. Dead or Alive 5 contains achievements related to Story, Arcade, Time Attack, and the extremely difficult Survival. It's a time consuming 1000 at that as you will have to collect 300 titles to unlock Alpha-152 as well as play 1000 online matches. Only the truly skilled will be able to outsmart this game's super A.I and clear all Fight Mode courses. Step 1: Story Mode Two years after the events of the fourth Dead or Alive World Combat Championship, Helena Douglas has taken full control of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee from the devious Victor Donovan and is re-building the company for the better. To inform the world of the return of DOATEC, Helena has make plans with Zack to host the fifth Dead or Alive Tournament and put on a show no one will forget. The Story Mode in DOA5 is different from previous ones as this one cycles through each playable character instead of each fighter having their own story. You will be given tutorial missions that teach you the ins and outs of the game. Be sure to not skip any story scenes for Insomniac. Akira Yuki Sarah Bryant Insomniac The Curtain Rises Ninja Battle ...And Then THIS Happened! Step 2: Fight Modes When selecting "Fight" from the main menu you will be given several modes to play. Arcade, Time-Attack, and Survival. There are 8 difficulties for each mode. You'll need to complete Arcade, Time Attack, & Survival modes a total of 40 times on all difficulties. 16 for Arcade mode both Solo & Tag, 16 for Time Attack both Solo & Tag, and 8 times for Survival, solo only. There's a total of 24 characters. You start out with 19 characters, you unlock 3 during story mode and the other 2 after obtaining 100 & 300 titles respectively. You'll need complete the Command Training of all 24 characters. Arcade Cleared Arcade Master Time Attack Cleared Time Attack Master Survival Cleared Survival Master Step 3: Online Mode Getting the online done for DOA5 will be fairly time-consuming. With the exception of 1000 matches you will also have to accept 50 throwdown challenges and play each type of online match. Nothing too difficult, but will take time, here are all online achievements: Jump In Rivals Rival Rumble Rival Rampage First Throwdown My Fight, My Rules Get out there and Fight! Fighting For Real DOA5 Is My Life Step 4: 300 Titles In Dead or Alive 5 you will earn Titles for doing a number of things such as: clearing Story Mode missions, clearing Fight Mode courses, unlocking all of a character's costumes, winning online matches, and etc. You will need to earn 300 for these in order to unlock Alpha-152, who is needed in order to unlock other achievements. The easiest Titles to unlock deal with performing Power Blows and Cliffhanger attacks. While working on these Titles, here's what you may unlock: Gesundheit! Tango Kilo November A Fight to Remember Safety First Cliffhanger Comeback Failure Teaches Success I Read Every Move Step 5: Extras-related Achievements Easy enough step. here you'll be taking advantage of the Spectator Mode as well as other simple achievements. You'll need to perform 50 different Tag throw moves as well as view some of your fighting statistics in this step. On the Edge of Your Seat Fighter, Know Thyself Ahhh, Memories Say Cheese! The Power of Two Step 6: Finishing Up By now there should only be a handful of achievements left for you to unlock. This is the step where you'll get the last of those 300 titles as well as complete any Training Modes or Survival Modes you were unable to clear before. Here's what you should have by this step: Exercise Newbie Fighting in Style The Ultimate Hyper Clone DOA5 Master Conclusion Seven years was a long time, but Dead or Alive has finally made its return to the Xbox 360. Compared to its predecessor, Dead or Alive 5 is possibly an easier completion overall with no SS Rank achievement and the toilsome Survival Mode being the most obnoxious part of the game. You will have to clear 4 courses of 100 opponents but with specific methods used, this will be a pretty DOA-ble completion with enough tenacity put forth. Achieving that will definitely put you over as truly earning the achievement DOA5 Master. http://www.ps3trophies.com/forums/sh...5-Trophy-Guide
