How to unlock the Sandstorm achievement in Killer Instinct - Definitive Guide

This can be done in Practice Mode. Pause the game and press cn_LB or cn_RB twice to reach Practice Options. Set Instinct Meter to Infinite.

Within the game, activate Instinct with HP+HK (default: cn_RB+cn_RT). cn_downcn_downrightcn_right+cn_Y to use Whirl and throw tornadoes, it doesn't matter if the CPU blocks it. Once you've counted five, do a super jump with cn_downcn_up, cn_downcn_upleft, or cn_downcn_upright. A hand should push him into the air for the super jump. It's any five jumps, not any specific direction.

Once you've done five of each, the achievement pops immediately.

I tried this and pressing downup, downdiagLup, or downdiagRup doesn't make me do a super jump even in instinct mode. Am I missing something?

Just tried it again. The down input needs to be fast; any delay or charge reverts to a regular jump.

I don't know what I did, but apparently it worked because I got the achievement.

Thanks, I guess? :/

The tornadoes are easy enough with above solution.
The tricky part I found was the superjump. It really has to be split/second button entries, best to be done with 2 fingers on the D-pad.

I got the jumps on an OG Xbox One controller by putting my entire thumb over the D-Pad and very quickly moving it up and down.

The other solution wasn't working for me, as pressing down-up in instinct mode wasn't doing a super jump. In frustration, I just started wiggling the left thumbstick up and down as fast as I could and low and behold, he started super jumping!

You don't need to place a sand trap on the ground or anything. Just go to practice mode as he mentioned and set instinct mode to infinite, then do your 5 tornadows (D, DF, F + Y), then either use both thumbs to tap Down/Up on the D-pad really fast, or just wiggle the left thumbstick up and down really quickly, and you'll get your 5 super jumps and the achievement.
