Dead or Alive 5

I just beat arcade on legend difficulty without losing a single round with the following method:

Choose Ryu as your fighter.

Spam his 4P+K charge move ("Gao-Sho") and the 7P + 8K move (spinning teleport kick called "Fudo-Ryujo"). You don't need any other moves to succeed.


Try to stay away from your opponents and try to not get cornered!
When the enemy is far away always do the teleport kick and if they are close you can go for the charge move to blast them away. Dont teleport when the enemy is standing in a corner or near a wall. Wait until they come to you! Always try to stay in the middle of the stage, because when you are cornered there is almost no way out. They should not be able to even touch you if you have the right timing! The timing is the key and should be practised before going into battle.

If you end up getting beaten in a corner try using 7K. When it hits follow up with the charge move or try to get some space.

To make the charge move even easier to pull off you can asign P+K to one button instead of pressing two.

With this method i got Tina's and Christie's rare swimsuits no problem.
I hope I could help some of you too. :-)

So I'm sure you all have noticed that legend's a bit of a hassle. Using this method may help. This may not work very well on Tag. Credit goes to The Enforcer from DOAworld.com

Use Tina's Back + LB (punch + kick) back flip. Just constantly hold back and with a bit of timing press LB to flip and attack. After connecting with the flip, press Down + grab (A by default) to slam the AI while they're down. Repeat as needed.

If you get hit, just let them knock you down. Unless you are confident in your countering skills I'd recommend taking the damage and doing a spin kick to get up. Pressing hold (X by default) will help recover faster when you hit the ground, then you can do your low/mid spin kick (Down/Diagonal Down + B by default) while the AI is trying to attack you. If the AI is in the middle of a combo the spin kick will always hit.

Notes:
Sometimes your follow up grab won't connect. Don't panic, just do another back flip.

Be careful with smaller levels (especially the circus ones), because sometimes Tina will run up the wall and do a body splash. Sometimes it works fine, other times the AI will punish you because the move takes some time to do.

Timing is the key to making this work, but once you get it down the AI will be at the mercy of your flips and slams. If you can beat solo on legend without using continues, you get Tina's rare costume!

Good luck!

in order to get this achievement, you need to beat all arcade difficulties on both (solo and tag) modes. you may be in trouble for the last three difficulty. specialy if you want to get tina's swimswit (beating solo legend difficulty without using a continue).
So, here's a cheap tactic at the video below that shows how to beat Legend Modes (Arcade, Time-Attack) in Dead Or Alive 5 without losing/using continues. It kinda balances itself since the A.I. itself is cheap, and its reasoning for being cheap is why this tactic works. That's because the A.I can read your button inputs.

So that's why this kinda works. You need a character with a chargeable attack, like most power blows. I used LeiFang since hers causes her to back up a bit and then attack. In truth, Tina and Kasumi also have similar attacks, so I think you could use them too, though I never tried.

Then you just need to time your attacks. Constantly punish the A.I.'s whiff as it tries to attack/counter what you're doing. Since it's chargeable too, you can always delay the attack when necessary. Basically do it as above.

For the swimsuit costumes, you don't have to use the particular character who's swimsuit you're after. So I didn't need to use Tina to get Tina's swimsuit. Using LeiFang is fine, you just need to complete the mode on legend without losing/using continues. Someone said they didn't lose until the last stage and lost then, but still got the costume, but I'd still try to not lose at all.

As for this LeiFang tactic, the hardest character I came across was Sarah. She just has a lot she can do (or I just can't read her well). I lost to her when I first tried this, so I had to go through the mode again. You can't lose.

This should work in Time-Attack and Survival to get Christie's and Lisa's swimsuit, but yea, Survival looks like a real pain to do and i didn't try it with this method yet.

i also have posted this guide for time-attack master achievement.

TheDamonforever made this video on youtube.

Lastly: Good Luck!

hi guys i just got the achievement myself.
you need to beat arcade mode in single and team mode on every available difficulty with only one character. in team of course 2 cahracters of your choice. that means from beginner to legend difficulty. after you beat all of them (8 in solo and 8 in team) the achievement will pop. i used the tina and ryu hayabusa method mentioned in the other solutions.
