Achievement Guide

Recommended Posts

Here's the start of the achievement guide and it should be done in a few days, depending how much time I have from work.

 

OK, here it goes, starting with the more obvious ones.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/-1vOKg==.jpgMy Adventure Begins 20gs

Clear Marco's main scenario in the story mode.

 

All of these story achievements are unlocked by just finishing the main story mode with each character named in the achievement description. There are multiple story branches for each character, and you have to stay with the main branch to unlock these, as far as I know, and the easiest way to do so is to not lose at least until you get to the final enemy or two of your story mode. I did this and got all of the story achievements.

See: "My Adventure Begins"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+TjU9Q==.jpgColor Collector 40gs

There are hidden colors for each character.

 

For this achievement, you need to get at least a 90% completion of EVERY character's story mode. When you go to the story mode character select screen and highlight someone, it says how much of the story you have complete with that character. Getting over 90/100% does NOT mean just beating story mode once. Getting 90% completion requires you to win AND lose each battle at least once as well as getting all of the different story branches with each character. When a battle flashes "GACHI BATTLE" in the middle of the screen before a battle, that means that is a battle which can branch the story off or trigger a special event, depending on conditions; be it win or lose the battle, finish with a certain move, etc.

 

Here's a better breakdown of how to get special events and story branches (if there's a list of characters with commas between them, that means you have to meet that condition against all of the characters in that list):

 

These conditions will put you on an entirely different story branch:

 

Ashley vs Coyori: Taunt at least once.

Cedric vs Marco: Adjust your glasses five times (QCB+Taunt)

Coyori vs Freed: Throw pie in Freed's face five times (throw him)

Deathbringer vs Watson: Finish with Final Inferno (Double Quarter Circle Forward A/C)

Dokurod vs Coyori: Taunt immediately after you beat Coyori

Donvalve vs Coyori: Use Hip-de-don (Quarter Circle Back B/D) at least once and finish with any super

Face vs Urs: Use Texas Knee (Dragon Punch B/D) at least five times

Freed vs Marco: Use Magnum Jetter (Charge Back, Forward A/C) at least five times

Marco vs Olivia: Finish with Dyna Rush (Double Quarter Circle Forward A/C)

Olivia vs Coyori: Use Standing D or Crouching D at least ten times and finish the battle with that attack as well.

Watson vs Cedric: Finish with Hip-de-Bunny (Down B while in air)

Urs vs Olivia: Win by timeout

 

 

And special events will be triggered by meeting the conditions:

 

Ashley: Varies

Main branch: Olivia - use Steal Your Heart (Half Circle Back A/C) at least once

Second branch: Donvalve, Cedric, Watson, Marco, and Face - finish with any super; and Urs - finish with Air Romance Wing (Heat Up, Quarter Circle Forward A/B/C/D in air)

 

Cedric has none.

 

Coyori: Use Storm Cat (Double Quarter Circle Forward B/D, mash B/D) and mash it until you get at least 15 hits at least once

Common to both branches: Marco

 

Deathbringer: Varies

Main branch: Donvalve - finish with Final Strike (Heat Up and land three sword attacks); Urs and Marco - win by time out

 

Dokurod has none.

 

Donvalve has none.

 

Face: Finish with Quickshot (Heat Up, Quarter Circle Back/Forward A/B/C/D)

Both Branches: Olivia, Ashley, Face, Freed

 

Freed: Finish with any super

Second branch: Donvalve, Urs, Cedric, Deathbringer

 

Marco: Finish with a Dyna Rush

Main branch: Ashley

Second branch: Freed, Donvalve, Face, Urs, and Dokurod

 

Olivia: Use Shall We Dance? five times and finish with any super

Second branch: Cedric, Dokurod

 

Watson: Finish with any super

Main branch: Dokurod

 

Urs has none.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgApprentice Hero 10gs

Clear arcade mode.

 

These are all pretty self-explanatory. Just beat arcade mode with any character under the conditions listed in the achievement description.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+xndQA==.jpgBorn of the Hero 20gs

Clear arcade mode on the HARD difficulty setting.

See: "Apprentice Hero"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+TjU9Q==.jpgUltimate Hero 40gs

Clear arcade mode on the VERY HARD difficulty setting.

See: "Apprentice Hero"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+TjU9Q==.jpgPersistent Hero 20gs

Clear arcade mode with no continues.

See: "Apprentice Hero"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgSurvivor 10gs

10 consecutive wins in survival mode.

Self-explanatory, the descriptions are here. My only advice is to obviously use your best character, but also keep in mind that you gain about 1/3 of your life bar back every time you win and your super gauges carry over between battles if you don't use them in your current battle, they'll still be there in the next battle. Use these things to make up a strategy as to when to use your supers/heat ups and especially against whichever characters you have the most trouble with. And like most survival modes, it gets progressively harder as you go, so don't think this is a cake-walk after you've beaten the first 10 enemies.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+xndQA==.jpgBattler 20gs

20 consecutive wins in survival mode.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgHighspeed Hero 10gs

Clear time attack mode within 10 minutes.

 

These are also rather self-explanatory. My advice is again to obviously use your best character and preferably one that does a lot of damage in a short amount of time, and keep in mind your super gauges start fully charged at the beginning of every battle. Use this very much to your advantage or you'll never get that 6 minute mark.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+xndQA==.jpgFastest Hero 20gs

Clear time attack mode within 8 minutes.

See: "Highspeed Hero"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+TjU9Q==.jpgExpress Hero 40gs

Clear time attack mode within 6 minutes.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgA Hero Appears 10gs

Play one ranked match on Xbox Live.

These are pretty obvious. The game has been out for a while now in Japan so most of them don't play online very often anymore, and the game has ZERO distribution in America, so unless you know some friends or hook up with some people from x360a here, you'll have a hard time accomplishing much online.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgA Hero Challenges the World 20gs

Win 10 Xbox Live Ranked Matches.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgGallery of a Hero 5gs

Unlock 25% of the gallery.

 

To unlock the gallery, the easiest way is to play story mode, since you unlock at least 2 pictures every time you beat the game with someone, no matter what. Fulfilling the special conditions to fulfill some of the secret achievements will also net you a few extra pictures, but we'll get into that later in the guide. If you're going for the "Color Collector" achievement, you'll probably have most, if not all of these by the time you get that achievement, since many of the other pictures are unlocked through the different story branches.

 

One of the biggest components to fulfilling 100% gallery is finishing everyone's story mode to 100%, which can be very trying and very time-consuming. What most people seem to have trouble with more than anything is completing DeathBringer's story to 100%, since there are many factors that go into it, and my friend ShinUkyo has posted a guide thread for how to complete his story, which can be found here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=111479

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/+vkl0w==.jpgGallery of Heroes 10gs

Unlock 50% of the gallery.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/UP9y5Yk=.jpgFinishing Blow 50gs

You can't damage the End of Deathbringer without Heating Up, but you can still beat him!

 

Ok, this achievement and the next one are a REAL pain and what will keep most really good players from getting 1000/1000 in this game. These "separate the men from the boys," so to speak. For this achievement, you must fight the final form of Deathbringer in arcade mode (officially named The End of Deathbringer) and finish him off without being in Heat Up mode. The difficulty you're on does not affect this achievement, so "Very Easy" your way through this if you like.

 

EDIT: Thanks to panicky, we have a fairly easy solution to this achievement.

 

"Easy way to get this would be to pick Freed and wail on him like you usually would, when his HP is in the 1-2k range you should heat up and use the Magnum Jetter about 2 seconds before heat up expires, the first attack should kill DB, heat up will run out but the After image for him will still land a hit which will unlock the achievement."

 

There is also one other possible solution that has been brought up by KayCeaEffahless, which is using Watson and whittling his health down pretty low, then using Watson's Alsuhail Almuhlif (QCFx2 A or C) special, which is a trap move, and does 8000+ damage while not in Heat Up mode.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/UP9y5Yk=.jpgPerfect Hero 100gs

Can you survive the Apocalypse Flame?

 

This one is the big daddy here, and there's a good reason its worth 100gs.

 

To get the achievement:

 

You have to Gachi (counter/parry) all 22 hits of the Apocalypse Flame and then finish End of Deathbringer with a perfect victory (taking no damage at all) on VERY HARD difficulty.

 

Japanese players have even figured this out to a science, since after you parry the first hit of the AF, you have to parry at a speed that is the equivalent of the musical BPM (beats per minute) of 212. Just to prove this can be done, I'll post a video of it being done here. Watch in dismay as this guy completely wrecks End of Deathbringer from beginning to end. I wish luck to anyone who attempts this, but the method of doing it is very clear.

 

An easier-to-view video is available here, through YouTube: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKed_rrLUQs]YouTube - BattleFantasia: I Gotta What...[/ame]

 

Also, FeLizP created a guide thread for this achievement specifically, which can be found here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=240372

A lot of these are pretty obvious from the description after you unlock them, but I'll clarify a little more if its needed. Also keep in mind all button commands are done in in-game format where these do not apply to buttons on the 360 controller, but the buttons in the game instead. If it were mapped on to the default 360 controller it would be:

 

360 X button: A

360 A button: B

360 Y button: C

360 B button: D

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s1.jpgPanty Flash! 10gs

In single-player arcade mode, finish off a female opponent with Marco's throw.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s3.jpgWahooo!? 10gs

In the single-player arcade mode, finish Face off with Marco's throw.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s10.jpgFinal Strike 10gs

In the single-player arcade mode, end a battle with Deathbringer's Final Strike.

 

To do Final Strike, enter heat up mode and then just connect with any 3 direct sword slashes to activate the move. You have to plan out the battle well so they end up with little enough life to die from the final strike, but its a little hard to do since Deathbringer does so much damage even with small hits. And for the move itself, they have to actually be sword slashes, his weak punch does not count, where he hits them with his hand. All 3 hits have to connect within the one heat up session for it to work, and DB's heat up seems to last less time than most other characters'.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s8.jpgThe Ultimate Taunt 10gs

Outside of training mode, use Cedric's Nose Glasses.

 

Just keep doing Cedric's QCB+Taunt move where he changes glasses until he pulls out the black glasses with eyebrows and a big nose. You can actually get this and the Marxist achievement at the same time if you do this during a fight with End of Deathbringer. This might take a while, but just keep doing it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s2.jpgExciting! 10gs

Outside of training mode, use Urs's taunt repeatedly to enter Heat Up mode.

 

Just hold down the taunt button without getting hit for about 6-7 seconds and he'll enter heat up mode.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s7.jpgDon't Eat Me! 10gs

In single-player arcade mode, finish off Watson with Donvalve's throw.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s9.jpgIntrovert 10gs

Finish off Olivia with Ashley's Steal Your Heart in single-player arcade mode.

 

This move is his HCB+C/D move where he grabs them and then drops them. This is a throw, so you must be right next to the opponent.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s5.jpgI'm in Love 20gs

In the single-player arcade mode, end a battle with Olivia's Shall We Dance?

 

This is a little tricky, since her "Shall We Dance" move only does 1 solitary point of damage. The best thing is to just shave off their heath with her A or B moves since they only usually do about 25-39 damage per hit, and when you get to any number under 10, you want to start using Shall We Dance over and over again until they die. This move is a throw, so you have to be touching the other person and it is executed with a HCB+C/D.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/674/s4.jpgRound-n-Round Swing 10gs

In the single-player arcade mode, hit with Donvalve's strongest swing, Don Don Swing.

 

This HAS to be his SUPER Don Don Swing (where the name pops up on the screen) and you HAVE to keep the rotation going until he flies all the way up in the air off of the screen and then throws the enemy down to the ground.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/lH/1e/04CLiGJhbC8xFQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wL0UAAAAA5+fn-HF9jw==.jpgMarxist 20gs

In single-player arcade mode, use Cedric's Nose Glasses against the End of Deathbringer.

 

See: "The Ultimate Taunt"

 

Ok, now last but certainly not least, the combo achievements. These are easily the hardest skill-based achievements in the game outside of the two End of Deathbringer ones, so you're going to have to be pretty damn good at the game to get these, and having a 360 arcade stick helps a lot for doing a lot of the more complicated moves.

 

Before we get started, I'll post a link again to the page which has a video showing someone doing all of these achievements. You have to watch VERY closely and watch every tiny millisecond of timing in those videos and even the placement of the characters on the stage can affect whether the timing works out right or not.

 

Also, if you see the person doing a move to start off the combo where they rush the opponent and the opponent goes flying through the air, that's a Gachi move, and if you're attempting these in practice mode, you have to make sure to turn your opponent's AI to "Gachi Drive" and then execute a Forward+Gachi Button to start off that combo. Also, always remember to activate heat up first, or these combos don't work.

 

Study these videos like CRAZY to get the timing and other fine details down right, because some of it is so much easier to just watch than it is to try and explain.

 

Video is here. Scroll all the way to the bottom and when you see the last video, scroll up to the second to last video and click the little button to start.

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/IX/R-/0YCLiGJhbC8yFQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wL0YAAAAA5+fn-lB0Og==.jpgHere I Come! 10gs

Get a 40+ hit combo with Watson.

 

There are a few ways to do this, but the way I did this was I started with going into heat up mode, then doing QCB+C twice, even though you need to do it 3 times to actually start his heat-up special, only do it twice. Make sure you do them very quickly, and then immediately after the 2nd one, do his QCF+D attack to send out a little thing that will start biting him in the behind to build up your combo. Wait til that thing hits the enemy either 8 or 9 times, and then do the final QCB+C to start the heat up attack. Wait a few seconds for all those meteors to hit him and then try to time it near the end-ish of those meteors, start his QCFx2+C attack to do the final push of the combo. I got a 43 hit combo, the way I timed it. Good luck.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/hJ/6k/1YCLiGJhbC9DFQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wLzcAAAAA5+fn+ouenw==.jpgMeowmeowmeow! 10gs

Get a 50+ hit combo with Coyori.

 

Combo order: Hold down+AAABC > QCFx2+A > QCBx2+B then jam buttons as much as you can.

 

Start with the few ducking attacks then stand up in the middle of that combo, but right as the final hit of that standing regular combo ends, you have to be doing the movements for the Crazy Cat Dance super move already, and after you do that and it finishes most of the hits, you need to start the Cat Storm movements. This is where it gets a little crazy, because Cat Storm hits more times depending on how much you jam on the buttons. And to get over 30 hits out of this move, you have to go absolutely crazy on your controller, and I'll wager to say this is actually impossible on a regular 360 controller, you need an arcade stick. You have to jam on EVERY button on the controller, including the d-pad/analog to get as many hits as you need, and you just can't hit buttons on a regular controller layout as fast as you need to for this move. If anyone is able to pull this off with a regular controller without a turbo button controller, I would be extremely shocked.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/bZ/b8/1oCLiGJhbC82FQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wL0IAAAAA5+fn+dOWdg==.jpgBasilisk Master 10gs

Get a 30+ hit combo with Urs.

 

Combo order: Gachi > Jump+C > QCB+B > A > QCB+B > A > QCB+B > QCFx2+A

 

Make sure you're all the way to the right side just like the video. Make sure you wait a pretty decent amount of time for the opponent to fall before doing the next tackle, otherwise you won't get as many hits out of the tackle each of the three times you do it. The final super that you have to do is VERY hard to get the timing down for, and the rest of the combo is easy in comparison.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/F2/ZE/1ICLiGJhbC9CFQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wLzYAAAAA5+fn+2tmDA==.jpgGattling Magnum 10gs

Get a 20+ hit combo with Freed.

 

Combo order: Gachi > Jump+B > QCFx2+B > Charge B then F+C > QCFx2+B

 

This is a lot harder than it looks on video, since you only technically have to connect with 4 hits, but the timing on them is very crucial. My best pointers besides studying the video is that MAKE SURE your character placement on the stage is just like in the video when you start the combo or it WILL NOT work. For this one, you being close to the exact distance in the video allows the opponent to bounce off the far wall from the gachi attack and go higher than normally which allows you to pull off the long-range (C button) Magnum Jetter after the first Heat My Justice. All about timing, period.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/B4/W+/0oCLiGJhbC8wFQQeXVRRGEQ0L2FjaC8wL0QAAAAA5+fn-ZGFHA==.jpgSuper Drill! 10gs

Get a 60+ hit combo with Odile and Dokurod.

 

Combo order: Gachi > Diagonal Jump+D then land > Jump+D > Jump > QCFx2+B

 

 

Character placement is VITAL to getting this to work correctly, so study the video closely. After the first diagonal jump and D hit, let yourself land on the ground, then immediately jump straight up and hit D again, then RIGHT after that hit, push up once more to jump in mid-air and then start the movement for the Grand Pirouette super right away. Timing is very very hard.

Let me be the first to say thank you for this guide, I got this in my gamefly queue, the only one worrying me right now is the Perfect Hero achievement, looks like it's going to take some serious and i mean seeeeerious practice and patience.

Not a problem, I think this game is fantastic and deserves some attention paid to it. And unfortunately, some of the secret achievements I'm about to post are rather hard as well, though nothing is as hard as that Perfect Hero.

I have a few tips for quickly boosting "Final Strike" and "Persistant Hero".

 

The achievements are not difficulty restricted. So if you go into options and set the difficulty to 'very easy' and '1 player rounds' to one then you can boost persistant hero in around 15 minutes.

 

Final Strike can be a pain for the singular reason that Death Bringers heat-up mode seems to last a third of the time other characters do or maybe he is just so slow it seems that way. So if the CPU blocks one of your sword slashes its unlikely you will get three before heat-up ends. Also, he does so much damage that by the time you build your guage and activate heat up, the character will die before you land all three swings. So here's a way to guarentee it...

 

In options set the difficulty to very easy (AI wont block as much) and set 1 player rounds to nine. Start arcade mode. Spend the first match building your special meter either by Gachi counters or just beating on the AI. Now youll have four more matches with at least two heatup chances per match. Get AI to < 20% HP, activate heatup and attack with (forward + Y) from sweep distance (if your to close deathbringer will punch instead of slash) after the third hit the special activates and will most likely finish the opponent to land the achievement. This will take you between 5-10 minutes.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

another tip for Gachi: Based on finger placement and button press/depress time; performing Gachi counters, especially multiple in a row can be a pain. Personally my thumb works faster than my pointer finger hooked over the ridge of a controller to sit on a shoulder button. In the control options you can re-map the Gachi button. I recommend switching it to (A). Youll end up performing gachi more regularly on a reflex basis, and the (A) button by defualt isnt used incredibley much, its besically a weak kick that you use to alter speed or range of specials, but it never requires the rapid pressing or precision timing, so it performs perfectly fine in the (RB) slot. If you have troubles with counter/parry then try this and give yourself a few rounds to adjust, story mode is perfect since its easy as helland your playing through it for completion achieves anyway.

Haha Steve. I'd just noticed you playing this game last night, and said, "That's a funny coincidence." I just finally got to play this game with Scott earlier in the week, since he picked up the American 360 version (and brought it to our friend Mark's house, nearby me). I absolutely LOVE it, and it's been KILLING me that I can't afford the thing. I've still got old coupons from my store, but it would take finesse and some luck to get them to work. And that's assuming they even carry the game. I've had good luck in the past, with them always getting in the most obscure of 360 games, but ya never know. Wonder if yer store has it, hmm.

 

I'd been wondering what the achievements were like, and turns out they're actually very fun. Well aside from that one super-Japanese achievement. It's the Triggerheart effect all over again... good times. -_-

Hey Ares, not a chance of you translating or making sense of that wiki you posted with the list of requirements for Gachi battles in story mode is there?

 

Ive been trying like hell to get my characters story mode completion over 36% to get the allternate costume achievements and still cant figure it out.

I actually have a more translated version I can post, though its still not 100% perfect, it'll easily get you over 90% with everyone, and that's really all that matters unless you want to unlock End of Deathbringer, but its kinda pointless since you can only use him in versus and practice modes. I'll fix it soon.

This guide is wrong in a couple areas. Just taunting doesn't cause Dokurod to branch. Also, Olivia has to do standing/crouching D 5times and has to finish Coyori with it. I tried this out using other attacks and it wouldn't cause the branch.

This guide is far from final, the purpose of starting one is to get people to look it over and test/correct certain parts, and I'll make these corrections that you posted to the main guide. Thanks.

Ah ok, I thought these were moves you tested yourself :)

I tested a majority of them, but there's still 4 people's story modes that I haven't attempted to get over 90% at, but I had the data of how some of the Japanese players did these, but translation is a little rough since I'm only what I'd call moderate at reading it. Too many other games distracting me right now :(

 

And as for DeathBringer's, I haven't attempted to get 100% story with anyone because I don't really care to unlock EoD, so I can't comment on that specifically, since its not achievement related.

I was able to get the beat the Express Hero achievement on my 2nd try today using this method.

 

I picked Urs and at the start of every match i would activate heat up and repeatedly use his speed glide attack. ( QCB + B or D )

 

When heat up ran out I would immediately use heat up again and do the same thing. Using this method I was able to get to EoD in about 4 minutes and 30 seconds leaving me plenty of time.

 

EoD is a little tricky, he's a little smarter than just letting you smack him down with speed glide repeatedly, so i would use the speed glide and then follow up with Bari fire blade.

 

when you run out of MP it's best to back up to the far opposite corner of EoD and more than likely he will try to do a charge where his body becomes horse-like and he rushes you, it's not hard to gachi but may require some practice, doing this will get your mp meter full allowing you to repeat the speed glide / bari fire blade technique. If EoD starts counting down get ready to rush him and grab him, so he can't count down to 1 and use apocalypse flame. I beat it using this technique in roughly 5 minutes and 15 seconds.

 

Well... that's how I did it, hope it helps someone.

I have a tip for the Finishing Blow achievement.

 

Easy way to get this would be to pick Freed and wail on him like you usually would, when his HP is in the 1-2k range you should heat up and use the Magnum Jetter about 2 seconds before heat up expires, the first attack should kill DB, heat up will run out but the After image for him will still land a hit which will unlock the achievement.

 

credit goes to Anemone K who gave me this method, thanks.

Thanks for the tip, I added it to the guide.

 

The only thing I'm still unsure of is where and how to get 100% gallery. If anyone has done it and has any tips, it'd be greatly appreciated. I think I'm stuck around 75% gallery after beating everyone's story mode to over 90% and doing all arcade mode, etc. Does playing online get you illustrations?

Ok, I tried his method for Finishing Blow achievement and have a few questions/concerns. I believe you have to do the A button version of the Magnum Jetter, because I just finished EoD with the C version and the after image did not come out of my body for about 2 full seconds after he was already on the ground, but I think your image comes out a lot faster if you do the A button version of the move. And when I hit him with it, he flew back about half a screen, so I'm guessing you might have to do this all the way in a corner so he doesn't fly so far and you can get that second hit in.

 

Confirm or disconfirm if you know any of these answers, guys.

 

I also tried using Urs for time attack and most of the time, the AI starts getting way too advanced around Freed/Face/Dokurod and they won't even fall for the glide once, letalone about the 8 times it takes to kill them with it. There has to be an easier method.

I just tested the Freed method that I had mentioned before because when I hit him with the Magnum Jetter he never flew back when I popped him with it. (He may have been in a corner though I don't remember him to be.)

 

Sure enough when I hit him with the C version this time around he flew back and the after image missed.

 

I tried again and I was able to get him with it using the A version of the after-image, though it took a few more tries because the timing is very very strict since the after-image comes out so fast.

 

I will try the corner method of the C version a little later I'm burnt out on trying this for the moment.

 

As for time attack the Urs method was the easiest that I tried, Agreed the AI does get a little trickier but i just tried to adapt my play style around the ai that started blocking a lot, such as grabbing them and then trying speed glide when they were getting back up i'll give it another go iagain and take notes this time around so hopefully it'll be a little easier.

Thanks for the guide. Btw I am kinda stuck in a few issue :

 

** 100% gallery (I not sure which char story mode will keep unlock xtra pix but i know deathbringer seems to do dat. Till now I only got 80%++ near 90%. Anyone has any idea how to get 100%?)

 

** 100 % Story mode for deathbringer (I can only achieve till 95% I am quite suprise that when I battle URS at main branch, I cant rememember what I use to kill him but I had already done the gachi condition (times out) so I suppose that shd not add any % to the story mode but it does (2%) Anyone know how to get deathbringer 100% story mode?

 

SO far left the online battles as well as the 100gs achievement and 30 match for survival..

I think Death Bringers story mode is bugged. I got the 3 Gachi's, have died and all every character and beaten every character in the story, yet am sitting at 96%. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Me too. i got 95% only.. i feels that those 3 gachi battles still have points to collect...
