How to unlock the Global Competitor achievement in Killer Instinct 2 Classic - Definitive Guide

OFFICIALLY GLITCHED:
A patch was released on November 19th 2014 that has made this achievement unobtainable, anyone who attempted to earn this after that date as become stuck at 84%, Unable to unlock the achievement. The reason being that since the update only wins against the AI count toward the achievement but there are 2 levels that are only playable in 2-player mode.

This was confirmed by Code Mystics here: http://www.ultra-combo.com/forums/index.php?topic=2231.15
I will update the solution if anything changes


The Glitch appears to be fixed as of the March 19th 2015 Update.

The original solution is below:
------------------------
There are 13 stages in KI2, to get this achievement you need to win a match (against the computer or against another player) on all of them.

If you've played through arcade mode once and defeated Gargos then you've already got 11 of the 13 stages and the only two left you'll need are Spinal's Dock and the Sky Stage (marked with asterisks below).

The achievement should pop immediately after defeating your opponent on the last required stage.

In 2 player mode you can manually select the stage. After the first player selects their character they can enter one of the button combinations below to select the stage, if done successfully you will see the stage name appear in the middle of the character select screen.

The stage selecting will obviously require a second controller for VS mode, you might be able to do it online but I haven't tested.

Jago's Bridge: Down+X
Gargos' Dungeon: Down+Y
T.J. Combo's Street: Down+RB
Kim Wu's Dojo: Down+A
*Spinal's Dock: Down+B
Spinal's Ship: Down+RT
Sabrewulf's Castle: Up+X
Maya's Jungle: Up+Y
Glacius' Spaceship: Up+RB
Tusk's Stone Henge: Up+A
Fulgore's Museum: Up+B
Orchid's Helipad: Up+RT
*Sky Stage: Down+B on both controllers at the same time

The buttons specified above are based on the default controller mapping, if you've remapped your controller differently then here are the codes using the attack names instead of the button labels:

Jago's Bridge: Down+QuickPunch
Gargos' Dungeon: Down+MediumPunch
T.J. Combo's Street: Down+FiercePunch
Kim Wu's Dojo: Down+QuickKick
*Spinal's Dock: Down+MediumKick
Spinal's Ship: Down+FierceKick
Sabrewulf's Castle: Up+QuickPunch
Maya's Jungle: Up+MediumPunch
Glacius' Spaceship: Up+FiercePunch
Tusk's Stone Henge: Up+QuickKick
Fulgore's Museum: Up+MediumKick
Orchid's Helipad: Up+FierceKick
*Sky Stage: Down+MediumKick on both controllers at the same time

If you have any questions or find any error please leave a comment and I will try to help you out.

UPDATE: NUROK HOWLER suggested that they're could be problems if you're on the player 2 side or if you knock your opponent off the edge of the stage in the first round (AFAIK only possible on Sky Stage). So to be on the safe side you should avoid both of those things.

2 possible things that didn't make it count first time in 2 player for me:
Being on right side at character select.
Knocking opponent of side first round

For some reason this achievement just will not pop for me. I have done every stage multiple times and nothing. Any ideas?

Since you ve beaten the game several times its safe to assume that its either spinals dock or the sky stage that is still holding you up. In both levels Make sure you win the fight with two full rounds . And no knock offs

I've done that. Played spinals dock and sky stage several times winning. No knock offs. And my achievement progress is still at 84%. Which is 11/13 maps. So those last 2 still won't count for some reason.

that blows :( I don't know what else could be keeping this from popping. If either of you figure it out post it up and I'll update the solution.

I'm not sure if the game mode makes a difference but I believe I did it in arcade mode with a 2nd controller that was not signed in.

Yep. Did the same as you. But game doesn't like me. I'll try and do it online with another person.

Tried deleting game and save. Redid to no avail. My last shot will be the multiplayer online.

The fact that your completion landed at 84% proves that there are only 13 stages. 11/13 = 84.6%

The next closest fraction that equals out to 84% is 16/19 and in order for that to happen it would mean that I'm missing 6 stages and you played 3 of the ones that I failed to list.

I know KI2 inside and out, I actually own an original arcade machine. Trust me when I say there are only 13 stages.

Maybe there is some other criteria that we're missing? Maybe all 13 stages need to be won by the same character? maybe they need to be done consecutively? I'm sure there is some reason people are getting stuck at 84%... I wish I knew why :(

There is a response from Code Mystics: "There is an error in the Global Competitor achievement in that only wins against the AI count since version 1.1, but two arenas are only available in 2-player games. We'll be fixing that.

Sorry for the delay getting to Global Competitor, everyone, but we didn't want to disrupt adding the KI1 Classic online multiplayer. Issuing an update for the KI2 Global Competitor bug would've bumped KI1's slot in the update queue."

They said on Feb 4th that a fix is in the works, and recently replied to another question about it stating that that same fix mentioned on the 4th is inbound with the next content update, that they're just working out another bug too in order to fix both at once. As you can see I risked putting the game on my tag. Pretty confident they'll get it fixed. If not, eh, them's the breaks.

I have no idea if this can be done over live. If you don't have a 2nd controller it can't hurt to try.

@Hero2None, nope as its only a VS only stage that requires code input from either two controllers or both players online.

Im pretty sure it's glitched. Mine is stuck at 84% too, so i checked there site and saw that they released a patch on 11/19
http://www.ultra-combo.com/forums/index.php?topic=4080.0
If you look on who has obtained the achievement on this site, the last one that did it was the on the 11/19.
Looks like we need to try and tell them on the KI forums and see if they fix it

I had a bit of difficulty getting Sky Stage (using my left and right hands to press d-pad Down+B simultaneously on both controllers). I kept getting "Spinal's Ship". The time I finally managed to get Sky Stage it initially came up as the Ship, but I quickly pressed Down+B simultaneously on both controllers a second time and the text changed to Sky Stage. If anyone else is having difficulty getting Sky Stage try giving this a try (i.e. double input of Down+B simultaneously on both controllers, or maybe even just spamming Down+B) - it might work for you also.

The game has several secret arenas that can only be selected if you have a second joystick. After confirming your character selection.

After you complete the stories for all the characters, there will be 2 secret arenas:
Spinal's Dock: +
Sky Stage: + (on both joysticks)
