Floodclaw Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) I felt that the current achievement guide in the forums was lacking...and as such, I've decided to write up my own. It's my first guide, too. Hope all (seven) of you tackling this game appreciate it. NOTE: I will be using the default controller layout. Road Map + Estimated achievement difficulty: 5/10 + Offline: 37 (741 http://tinyurl.com/gicon) + Online: 13 (259 http://tinyurl.com/gicon) + Approximate time to 1000 http://tinyurl.com/gicon: 20-30 Hours (depends on skill level) + Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 24 (one for each character's Story) + Missable achievements: None + Glitched achievements: 0 + Avatar Awards: 0 + Cheats: None + Does difficulty affect achievements?: Yes. This game was given a 5/10 rating because while the achievements aren't too difficult to achieve, those not familiar with fighting games will definitely have trouble and even those that are experienced will experience difficulty. Overall, this game is an easy 910http://tinyurl.com/gicon if you have a boosting partner but a difficult 1000http://tinyurl.com/gicon. Introduction: Samurai Shodown Sen is the most recent in the line of 3D Samurai Shodown games from SNK. A majority of the achievements will come from simply completing the Story Mode with each character on any difficulty. One achievement, however, requires you to complete each Story Mode on Expert, and another requires you to win 1000 rounds of fighting. The other achievements will come naturally or through online boosting. Step 1: Story Mode Here, we will be completing each characters Story Mode. I recommend starting from Charlotte on the top-left and working your way over so as to not miss any characters. I also recommend that you start on Expert Mode so as to no require another 24 playthroughs when you finish with another difficulty. Also, after completing a Story Mode, be sure to put in SNK as your name on the scoring screen for an additional achievement. After you have completed this arduous task, you will have claimed a total of 28 achievements for 571 http://tinyurl.com/gicon. Tips: -Find a character you're good at and stick with him or her, only switching characters when you need to defeat Golba in the last round. - An easy way to beat Draco even on Expert is to stay at mid-range. When he kneels down to shoot at you, sidestep the blast and rush in, pressing either or . Rinse and repeat until he is dead. - Golba is easier than Draco. He has many attacks that keep him still after he uses them, so take advantage of this. Sidestep his attacks and get in couple of your own, preferably a Strong Hit ( or ). The basic Throw (), then Unblockable Attack (), then Unblockable Attack () seems to work here too, for the most part. - Don't get cocky. If you're ahead health-wise and you're up against a difficult opponent, just block and wait for the time to run out. It's much safer than to try and go for a K.O. Step 2: Survival Mode This step is quick and easy. All you need to do is defeat 26 characters in a row without dying. This might sound daunting, but as long as you have Draco unlocked, you should be fine. Utilize his +, then :abut:x8 combo for easy kills. After completing Survival Mode, you should have accumulated a total of 31 achievements for 631 http://tinyurl.com/gicon. Step 3: Ranked Matches To make things go a whole lot easier, find a boosting buddy in [this thread] to help you out. After matching two specific characters together for five achievements, work at alternating wins until you both reach 100 wins. You can also work on your Desperation Slash achievements here if you wish. Also, make sure that you kill an opponent in a Ranked match with under 10% health as well as score Perfects for an entire Ranked match for another three achievements. After finishing with both the online and the Story Mode, you should have racked up a total of 44 achievements for 890 http://tinyurl.com/gicon. Conclusion If all has gone as planned, you should only need to use 100 Desperation Slashes, win 1000 rounds of fighting and make a Draw happen. With these completed, you will have gotten the full 50 achievements and 1000 http://tinyurl.com/gicon. Edited August 22, 2010 by Floodclaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floodclaw Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/+YLYrQ==.jpgSwordman - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To launch Slash 10 times successfully (in all modes except practice mode) See 'Super swordman'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/+6PRGA==.jpgSenior swordman - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To launch Slash 50 times successfully (in all modes except practice mode) See 'Super swordman'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/+kMpiw==.jpgSuper swordman - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To launch Slash 100 times successfully (in all modes except practice mode) To unlock these achievements, you must connect 100 'Desperate Slashes' with your opponent. Although winning is sometimes referred to as 'Slash' in this game, what the achievement refers to is a 'Desperation Slash' (also known as a 'Fatal Slash' in the manual). You can only perform these Slashes when your health is below 30% and your health bar is pulsing red. The way to pull them off is slightly different for each character, being either , +, + or , +, + . Recommended: Set up a five-round, infinite timer game in Versus with Claude as Player 1 and anyone as Player 2. Have Player 1 (Claude) reduced to critical health (pulsing red health bar) and then have Player 1 input , +, + . If performed right, the screen will darken and the words 'Desperation Slash' will appear on the screen after the attack. Alternate who dies each round for maximum efficiency. NOTE: The Slashes only need to connect with the opponent, not kill them (although that is nice too). http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-+HCcg==.jpgThe day of defiance - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To provocate the opponent for 50 rounds (in all modes except practice mode) To get this achievement, you must taunt 50 times. To taunt in this game, you must click (Right Analog Stick) in combat when your Anger Meter is not full. Contrary to the achievement's description, you only need to taunt a cumulative 50 times, not necessarily spread out over 50 rounds. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-gE64Q==.jpgSurvivor - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill 5 men in Survival mode See 'The invincible'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-CAzVA==.jpgBloody hands - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill 13 men in Survival mode See 'The invincible'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-cDLxw==.jpgThe invincible - 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill 26 men in Survival mode To unlock this achievement, you must kill 26 opponents in a row in Survival mode without dying. Not a simple task. However, it is made extremely easy when you unlock Draco after completing the Story Mode for 12 characters, so I recommend waiting until then. Using Draco, only one combo needs to be mastered to breeze though Survival mode. Hitting + and then mashing will result in sixteen shotgun blasts pushing away the opponent, most likely juggling them in the air and damaging them quite a bit. The Unblockable Attack () can be used too, but only when at a safe distance. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-uffyQ==.jpgKill thousand of men - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill thousand of men (in any mode) To unlock this achievement, you must win 1000 rounds of combat in any mode. The most time-consuming achievement here besides finishing all characters' Story Modes on Expert. If you have a turbo controller, then follow this route: Go into versus mode with one round and a thirty-second timer. Rubberband the second controller so that Player 2 is moving towards Player 1. Remap one of the Strong Slash (:rbbut:/:rtbut:) buttons to , set to turbo and then tape the button down. Now, go do something else, but make sure the controllers don't turn off if they're wireless. This should take anywhere from 5-8 hours, depending on how many rounds you've won elsewhere. If you don't have a turbo controller, as least you can have fun butchering your least favourite characters over and over in varied gory ways, right? http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-wcnWg==.jpgThe Toughest warrior of Japan - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill the opponent with full HP (in Ranked match, within 1 round) To get this achievement, you must score a Perfect in one round of a Ranked match. That is, you must win one round of a Ranked match without taking any damage. This is easily boostable. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-LnKmw==.jpgUnknown opponent - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To have Xbox LIVE fighting for once (regardless of the result, in any match) Simply finish an Xbox LIVE match. Ranked or Player, win or lose, as long as you finish the match, it doesn't matter. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-pjDLg==.jpgSamurai spirit - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To win in Xbox LIVE fighting for 5 times (in Ranked match) See 'Cacodemon Roza'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-3g7vQ==.jpgBushido - 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To win in Xbox LIVE fighting for 20 times (in Ranked match) See 'Cacodemon Roza'. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/+trQRA==.jpgSura spirit - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To win in Xbox LIVE fighting for 50 times (in Ranked match) See 'Cacodemon Roza'.

This is easily boostable. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPoNnTc=.jpg Great! - 9 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill the opponent when you are dying (in Ranked match) To get this achievement, you must defeat an opponent in a Ranked match with when you are at 5% health or below. There is no indicator for this unlike 30% health, so get it down as low as you can with simple slashes without dying. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPrreB8=.jpgWandering strong swordman - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png To complete the Story mode with Haohmaru Simply complete the Story Mode for the assigned character. This achievement is for Haohmaru. If you want as little playthroughs as possible, compound the story achievements with 'Legendary hierophant' (see below). If you don't mind playing through the Story Mode 48 times, then spend your first 24 with each character on Beginner mode with one round and a thirty second timer. A throw () followed by two unblockable attacks () is a good combo to learn for Beginner mode. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPsLgIw=.jpgThe crimson murderousness - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png To complete the Story mode with Genjuro See 'Wandering strong swordsman'.

Floodclaw Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPjzTgM=.jpgWild Beast in the Wilds - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png Draco unlocked (complete Story mode with 12 characters) You will automatically get this achievement after completing Story Mode with 12 different characters. You can't miss it. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPkTtpA=.jpgNightmare of Lesphia - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png Golba unlocked (complete Story mode with 24 characters) You will automatically get this achievement after completing Story Mode with all 24 characters. You can't miss it. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPsyvyU=.jpgLegendary hierophant - 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png To complete the Story mode with all characters (with the highest difficulty) To unlock this achievement, complete Story Mode for all 24 characters on Expert difficulty. I won't lie, this is the hardest achievement in the game. The AI is very good at pulling off difficult and non-stop combos on you while you are helpless to fight back. It will be a long and frustrating road, but here are a couple of tips to help you along the way: - You can use another character up until Golba, just as long as it is the character you want to finish Story Mode that finishes Golba off. - Find out which character you are best with and can maneuver around the most with. This will help a lot. Trust me. - Combos are difficult, hard to pull off and aren't guaranteed to work or hit, and that might mean the difference between life and death. The same result can be achieved quicker by exploiting sidestepping and landing a Strong Hit (:rbbut:/:rtbut:) with much less frustration and time spent. Rimururu works best with this strategy, as she is very fast. - An easy way to beat Draco even on Expert is to stay at mid-range. When he kneels down to shoot at you, sidestep the blast and rush in, pressing either or . Rinse and repeat until he is dead. - Golba is easier than Draco. He has many attacks that keep him still after he uses them, so take advantage of this. Sidestep his attacks and get in couple of your own, preferably a Strong Hit ( or ). The basic Throw (), then Unblockable Attack (), then Unblockable Attack () seems to work here too, for the most part. - You cannot use Draco or Golba in Story Mode, so don't waste time unlocking them on an easier difficulty to use on harder difficulties.

The online community is (and always has been) pretty much dead, so doing this legitimately is nigh impossible. However, this also means that it is incredibly easy to set up a boosting match. You can even choose the host you want from the 'Custom Match' screen to more easily find your partner.

This can be unlocked in any mode. The easiest way to do this is to go into Versus mode with two controllers and have both pick Haohmaru. Get both characters down to as little health as possible. Then, facing each other, simultaneously press on both controllers and they should both strike at the same time, resulting in a draw and a shiny new zero-pointer achievement.

Dennoman Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Very nice guide man, I knew you were writing it up and the results are well worth the wait Can't really add anything to this. Sidestepping really is your friend in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarraz 4 life Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 If you had problems beating the game in Expert, you can use a character that you feel comfortable and beat all the stages until you fight against Golba I strongly recommend sogetsu, you can spam HS and later teleport with defelect Also, Charlotte and Galford are very good against Draco Finally against golba, try to execute the unblockable move, connect, and repeat, he almost always took both attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayin Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I highly recommend using Angelica for story mode run throughs until you reach Golba. Her sidestep and right trigger slash are very, very fast with decent range. Oh, and she's easy on the eyes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeLizP Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1170/UPsyvyU=.jpgLegendary hierophant - 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png To complete the Story mode with all characters (with the highest difficulty) This achievement randomly glitches for some people. If it doesn't unlock for you don't panic because it happened to me too. What I did was re-beat the game on expert with the entire first row of characters, Charlotte-Kirian and it unlocked upon clearing the game with Kirian during his Ending. Don't get too upset, at least the extra Story Mode runs count towards Kill thousand of men. Hopefully that works for anybody that it glitches for. If not, finish the bottom row again. You want to make sure you didn't quit out or exit to dashboard once you beat the game because it may not count. Make sure you see the Game Over screen, that pretty much sets it in stone that you officially beat the game on Expert with the character. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/-uffyQ==.jpgKill thousand of men - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png To kill thousand of men (in any mode) To unlock this achievement, you must win 1000 rounds of combat in any mode. The most time-consuming achievement here besides finishing all characters' Story Modes on Expert. If you have a turbo controller, then follow this route: Go into versus mode with one round and a thirty-second timer. Rubberband the second controller so that Player 2 is moving towards Player 1. Remap one of the Strong Slash (:rbbut:/:rtbut:) buttons to , set to turbo and then tape the button down. Now, go do something else, but make sure the controllers don't turn off if they're wireless. This should take anywhere from 5-8 hours, depending on how many rounds you've won elsewhere. If you don't have a turbo controller, as least you can have fun butchering your least favourite characters over and over in varied gory ways, right? Funny, but there is a non-turbo controller method you should add to the guide for those who don't have one, it's pretty obvious though. First and foremost make sure you have the Legendary Hierophant achievement before going for this. That can put you over at least 192 kills already from Story Mode runs alone. You want to save this offline achievement for last, the more kills you have by then the less you have to grind for this achievement. So go to options, set Rounds to 1 and follow these steps: 1. Start up Versus Mode, you need 2 controllers for this 2. Have P1 pick Angelica and P2 pick Rimururu 3. Make sure you Rubberband the Left-thumbstick for the 2nd controller or lean something heavy on it so that P2 will be crouching.(This will allow you to hit her without her using Neutral Guard on your attacks) 4. When the match starts dash towards 2P and hit RT for her Strong Attack, then repeat 2 more times as she gets up and finish the fight in 4-5 seconds 5. Repeat until the achievement pops With this method you can get 5 matches done per minute! So that's 300 matches done per hour taking less than 3 hours of grinding to unlock the achievement! How's this for butchering up your least favorite characters in varied gory ways? Happy grinding! Edited November 6, 2011 by FeLizP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennoman Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yeah, the 1-round versus definitely works fastest towards the 1,000 wins. I did it with Haohmaru as his slash is insanely o/p in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
