Introduction:
This is the Street Fighter you've come to know and love. All the aggravating Arcade losses, the wonderful local competition, and the newly added online competition! SFIITHDR has all the characters you're used to, beautiful graphics, and a pretty decent online connectivity. You can get most the Arcade achievements in one go, if you are the Street Fighter king. For your average person, it might take you a while to just get to Akuma in arcade, lone enough beat him. The AI in SFIITHDR does not tend to be completely fair, even on Easy, so don't underestimate your competition. If you are a beginner to the series you may find some of the achievements difficult, and if you have a hard time the the D-pad or analog stick you are in for a bumpy ride.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
In order to get to Akuma, you have to meet certain criteria. I found the easiest one was to beat all eleven opponents prior to Akuma without continuing. Spamming Bison's Psycho Crusher back and forth is by far the best way to wiz through the eleven opponents and get fairly easy wins. You can get about 4-5 Perfects in the process, and it will help you with Training for Perfection and Blinding Speed.
However, this doesn't work so well once you get to Akuma. I found that Chun Li or Cammy work great against him, as they have very good combos and fairly strong moves. You can also use Sagats high kick. Beating Akuma will not be easy - he is better than you in every way - so be patient.
As for the other achievements, most everything else can be done in a Local match (Throwing is Cheap, Combomaniac, and Sagat's Scar). Combomaniac is REALLY difficult, especially with the normal Xbox 360 controller. Personally, I used the exact method Capn Spanky used in the guide with Chun Li. Just used Training to practice it, and then do a Local Match and try to perform it on your 2nd controller (Assuming you have one). This is one offline achievement that might take the most time.
The online achievements are pretty straightforward. However, it is confirmed that you can achieve Master of All Things by doing a private match with a friend and winning with each character in one sitting. This helps a lot for people who are not good with certain characters. As for winning Ranked matches, you can do it legit, which will take a while, or you can boost with a friend. It will be a bit quicker, but there are quite a few people still playing online and it will be hard to continually find each other's matches. Quitting out of matches does not count towards the 100 wins.
Conclusion:
SSFIITHDR is a great game with some very challenging achievements, but with a lot of practice and patience, it is all very attainable. This is one of the best deals on the marketplace to date and should not be passed by any person who is a fan of fighting games.
