JaxTH Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) http://imageshack.us/a/img826/7416/stftitle.jpg ROADMAP Overview Estimated achievement difficulty: 1/10 Offline: 12 (400:gsicon:) Online: 0 (0:gsicon:) Approximate amount of time to 400: Less than 1 Hour (Dependent on skill/luck) Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 Number of missable achievements: None Glitched/Unobtainable achievements: None Do cheat codes disable achievements?: No Cheats Does difficulty affect achievements?: No Extra equipment needed: No Introduction Welcome to Sonic the Fighters! Sonic the Fighters has 12 achievements for 400:gsicon: and is a 1996 arcade game from SEGA using the Sonic characters that runs on the engine from another SEGA fighter; "Fighting Vipers". As the name implies this Sonic game is also a fighter. It was finally brought to the masses in the form of "Sonic GEMS Collection" for the Nintendo Gamecube and Playstation 2 in 2005. Now SEGA sees fit to release it once again on XBLA with more playable characters like Honey the Cat (Candy from "Fighting Vipers") and online play! Step 1: Basic Controls These are the basic controls that all characters have so familiarize yourself with them. = Block = Punch = Kick Run: http://imageshack.us/a/img856/8996/rightarrowm.png http://imageshack.us/a/img856/8996/rightarrowm.png Backstep: http://imageshack.us/a/img33/521/leftarrow.png http://imageshack.us/a/img33/521/leftarrow.png Dodge: Press http://imageshack.us/a/img40/4821/blbtn.png + http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png + http://imageshack.us/a/img13/3416/kbtn.png at close range Turn your back: Crouch and press http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png + http://imageshack.us/a/img13/3416/kbtn.png Hyper: http://imageshack.us/a/img33/521/leftarrow.png http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png + http://imageshack.us/a/img13/3416/kbtn.png You also of course have http://imageshack.us/a/img442/480/uparrowk.png, http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4444/downarrows.png, http://imageshack.us/a/img705/2225/downleftarrow.png, and http://imageshack.us/a/img138/5496/downrightarrow.png so check your character's move list for moves that use those. Step 2: Arcade Playthrough First things first. Go into "Arcade" and set the difficulty to its easiest setting (This would be "Easy"). You can also set the number of barriers to 1 if you wish. After that go and pick Sonic after pressing . Please take note that you will not randomly fight characters in this game. Bark the Polar Bear will ALWAYS be the third person you fight and Bean the Dynamite (Duck) will ALWAYS be the seventh. Your first fight is against Knuckles at South Island. Since this is on easy the computer will always block your moves, thus always have their barrier up. Use Sonic's Spin Attack (http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4444/downarrows.png http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png) to get the job done by destroying all of Knuckles' barriers and Barrier Destroyer will unlock. If you haven't been hit yet and have done a lot of damage use Hyper to be invincible for a short period of time and get a perfect on the first round to unlock Perfect. Finish the second round for Stage 1 Complete. The second fight is against Amy at Flying Carpet. Amy will mostly just try to squish you with her Piko Piko Hammer. If she does then A Small Transformation will unlock. Beat her again in the second round to unlock Stage 2 Complete. Beating Bark at Aurora Icefield, Espio at Mushroom Hill, Tails at Canyon Cruise, Fang at Casino Night, and Bean at Dynamite Plant will unlock the Stage 3 Complete, Stage 4 Complete, Stage 5 Complete, Stage 6 Complete, and Stage 7 Complete achievements. The eighth fight is against Sonic on Giant Wing. Because you are already playing as Sonic you will fight against a gray scale version of yourself. This will cause The Enemy Within to unlock. You can go on to beat Metal Sonic at Death Egg's Eye and Robotnik/Eggman at Death Egg's Hangar if you wish. If you lose no rounds at all then beat Metal Sonic in the first round use Hyper to transform into Super Sonic. Step 3: Honey the Cat/Offline Versus After you are finished with Arcade Mode go back to it and hover over Amy, press and then select her to play as Honey the Cat thus unlocking Honey the Cat. If you have two controllers and did not get "A Small Transformation" earlier then instead of going back to Arcade Mode go to "Versus" and have Player 1 pick Honey the Cat while Player 2 picks Amy. With Amy use http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4444/downarrows.png http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png and Honey will get squished getting you both "Honey the Cat" and "A Small Transformation". Step 4: Miss Anything? If you missed anything go back into Arcade Mode or Offline Versus and complete it. Conclusion Sonic the Fighters is a fun little game from 1996 that only really gets hard on Stages 8 and 9. The achievements are easy as can be so it is a quick and painless 400:gsicon: to add to your collection. Hopefully you'll have fun with it and maybe even go online.

JaxTH Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1139/bannernw.png Achievement Guide Stage 1 Complete 20 Complete Stage 1 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 2 Complete 20 Complete Stage 2 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 3 Complete 20 Complete Stage 3 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 4 Complete 20 Complete Stage 4 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 5 Complete 20 Complete Stage 5 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 6 Complete 20 Complete Stage 6 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) See Stage 7 Complete. Stage 7 Complete 40 Complete Stage 7 of Arcade Mode (any difficulty) Stages 1 through 7 of Arcade Mode give you achievements for beating them. Also setting the difficulty to the easiest it can be will make this go by quicker. The opponents are as follows: Knuckles at South Island Amy at Flying Carpet Bark at Aurora Icefield Espio at Mushroom Hill Tails at Canyon Cruise Fang at Casino Night Bean at Dynamite Factory Sonic at Giant Wing Metal Sonic at Death Egg's Eye Dr. Robotnik/Eggman at Death Egg's Hangar If you are playing as Sonic while going through Arcade Mode on your first try keep playing after you have beaten Bean. Perfect 60 Win a round without receiving any damage in Arcade Mode (any difficulty) Win one round without taking damage to unlock this achievement. It is easiest to do this against Knuckles on Stage 1. Barrier Destroyer 40 Destroy all of an opponent's barriers while playing Arcade Mode or Offline Versus When you or an opponent blocks, you put up a barrier. Keep that barrier up and an attacking opponent can destroy it. Once all your barriers are destroyed you can no longer block attacks. The computer LOVES to block however, so destroying all their barriers will be easy. The is easily done on Stage 2 against Amy. Sonic's Spin Attack (http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4444/downarrows.png http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png) gets the job done quite nicely. A Small Transformation 40 Turn small by being attacked (ie, by Amy's↓+P, etc) in Arcade Mode or Offline Versus On Stage 2 of Arcade Mode Amy is most likely going to try and hit you with her hammer a lot. Let her do so in the first round and you will get flattened (You will turn flat then pop back to normal in a comical style). Your achievement will pop afterwards. Alternately, you can do this in Versus Mode if you have a second controller by letting Player 2 flatten you with Amy's hammer by using http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4444/downarrows.png http://imageshack.us/a/img42/2606/pbtn.png. Honey the Cat 60 Use Honey the Cat in Arcade Mode or Offline Versus (Press START on Amy and select) To use Honey the Cat hover over Amy and press then select Amy's icon as if you were picking her to select Honey. The Enemy Within 40 Fight a mirror match in Arcade Mode or Offline Versus When you fight yourself, Robotnik/Eggman will come down and make a clone of you. If you are playing as Sonic on your first time through Arcade Mode then you will fight yourself at Giant Wing. Otherwise it is easiest to pick Knuckles as you will fight against yourself immediately in Arcade Mode. Edited November 28, 2012 by JaxTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiGfire Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I know this question is unrelated to achievements, but is Metal Sonic and Eggman only playable online? They don't seem to be available in arcade or offline versus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugginyouoff Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just a heads up, you can't put the round limit to 1. Good guide though, ty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Chaotix Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Took me longer to download the game ;O 'Tis a nice and short game, there should've been achievements for beating the game or at least Metal Sonic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMarkOfPower Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 9 minutes, 400G! if only there were more like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktilla23 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think this is candidate for easiest XBLA game ever, and easiest completion of the year! Even easier than Backyard Football 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser779 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 For Metal Sonic press start on Sonic. For Eggman press start on Bean. They are only available in Offline Versus and Online Modes. Don't think I really needed the guide (Not knocking it, just saying this game is incredibly easy to 100%, 5-10 minutes tops), but at least I found something useful out, didn't know that about Eggman and Metal =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleeK Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The hardest achievement to get is definitely 'A Small Transformation', or at least it is playing by yourself. It took me about three minutes before Amy finally managed to shrink me. And that says it all about this game, by far the easiest 400 points I've ever earned. It's not a terrible game, either, but I doubt ill be playing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the action frampton Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Took me about 7 minutes and I'm rubbish at fighters lol. Also, don't know if there is any time delay for the A small transformation of not, but it unlocked for me in the 3rd fight when I got squashed I.e. not against Amy!

JohnnyR74 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Definitely very easy with Sonic. I just plow through opponents with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DESTRO5 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Think I'll buy this one cause I'm dirty like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohdjp Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Not that it really matters, but there's a couple of things that can make running through this even faster. You can just start with Honey in your first arcade run to knock that out of the way, along with the rest of the arcade mode achievements. You can also set barriers to 1, and you should get it in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorexskygtr32 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 After reading this guide and a lot of people commented on how easy this game is. So I have decided to buy it for my 6 years old daughter who adores Sonic and Mario of course. She plowed it through and got all achievements by herself in 15 minutes except for Honey Cat which I told her to press start on Amy character. She enjoying it and continue to play it.
