How to unlock the Natural Born achievement in Killer Instinct - Definitive Guide
I've come up with a new solution to the ranked achievements and am including it along with the older one I had, although I should warn everyone to use the new solution at your own risk. I should note that I've checked with the admins as to the regularity of the method (Solution Parameters).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* First Solution *
Very simple:
1. Start a ranked match while connected to the wi-fi, using the character you want the achievement for;
2. After the match starts, simply connect the ethernet cable at the back of your console (just to be sure keep pressing buttons on your controller while doing this);
3. The game will freeze for a few seconds and is tricked into thinking your opponent has disconnected, you both get a win, simple as that;
4. Disconnect the Cable and repeat for the next win;
5. To use this method for the "natural born" achievement, at beggining of the month choose to reset your rank to requalify, win all 10 qualification matches to instantly go to Gold, from there keep playing and try to win as many matches legit as you can, since your rank will no longer increase due to "disconnection wins" BUT if you're losing just get a win by connecting the ethernet cable so that your rank doesnt drop, you will get to killer eventually.
A few notes:
1. After a few wins like this, the game will prompt a message saying that will no longer increase your rank due to "disconnection wins";
2. This doesn't affect the achievements, as the wins still count towards them;
3. I've never had any problems while doing this, since both players are credited a win, so there's no fault to the other player;
4. I always tried to actually win the match legit before connecting the cable;
5. prepare to receive a lot of messages from people calling you a quitter;
6. Yes, this is cheating when it comes to leaderboards, but as long you’re doing this just to unlock achievements and not to claim you’re the best KI player around, I see no harm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Second Solution *
First of all you will need the following:
1. PC with windows 10 that can run KI at least in the lower settings;
2. KI downloaded and installed on your PC;
3. A dummy account; and
4. Not exactly necessary but 2 controllers would help.
Ok, first log in ONLY your dummy account on your xbox one (it will have gold privileges because of the main account).
Log in with your main account on your PC.
Start KI on the console and on the PC.
Go to ranked matches and start searching with the dummy account and after 5 seconds with the main account (don't ask me why, but this seems to make a difference).
Using this method I was getting matched up with myself most of the time, specially during times when there are fewer players, like 2am, I got as much as 10 figths in a roll.
Whenever you get a random, hopefully it will be with the dummy account.
This method also can be used to boost yourlself to Killer, but it will take a very long time, specially if you keep getting randoms and losing, I'm almost at Gold already.
The trick is the promotion fight, you can only get matched up with players from the same level or above, so that means you'll have to rank up your dummy account, which will take much more time. But if you would boost this with someone else that would have to happen anyway.
I'm still experimenting with this method, and I think it can be improved, so if you have any suggestions just say so in the comment section.

Not having a huge amount of luck with this. I'm in the UK, so I've been trying at around 7am-9am, when most of the USA should be in bed, but still getting loads of random players. I've still managed to boost my dummy account up to the top of the silver rank three times, but I never manage to connect to my gold main account for the promotion match, and usually end up against a level 50/50 gold/killer ninja player, who whips my ass. I'll keep trying ...

There are two ways.
1. When choosing an arena or suddenly you see that you are losing, then go to the Xbox settings->Network settings->Disable the network and immediately turn it on. You get the win.
2. Pull out the Internet cable.
Connect the set-top box via WiFi.
Start searching for the enemy.
And as soon as the arena selection appears, connect the wire back. The game thinks that your opponent has left the waiting room. And the victory is counted. And repeat until victory.
This way you can get 20 victories for all characters and defeat 6 characters.
Plus you can defeat 10 players with the rank of killer.
You can also use the left profile on Windows 10 and play against yourself if you have a powerful PC. On weak PCs it does not allow entry into ranked.
Important. If you use the WiFi trick, you will receive a notification, and a little later you will receive a probationary period mark due to frequent victories due to network interruption (it can be removed after several fair battles, but this is difficult, since sometimes the randoms themselves turn out the same way and you are credited with an unfair victory). This affects the achievement; you can ask a friend to help you reset this mark. Defeating him in a fair game, but there is a very high chance that the randoms will leave the battle on their own and you will not remove the mark. Therefore, you can continue with a friend.
Another point is the qualifying rounds. Depending on how well you perform, you will be at a certain level from bronze to gold. Gold is about 7-8 wins.
Also, if you use a method with a network break, you will not receive achievements for knockouts.
