Killer Instinct

Have you downloaded the update? I didn't get the achievements until I did.

I had the same issue and managed to do it again and it popped for me.

@Ultras500 I did it with X+A together.:)

For some reason I can only get it to work when I'm using my Instinct, but I do the combo correctly. I even make sure that when I'm not using instinct, I have the Instinct bar all the way full or mostly full. What the hell?

Yeah the default buttons are A and X, I just like LK and LP because some people may have remapped the buttons. Basically it's Fireball and "grab".

Ok I tried CRZYSPZ's instinct suggestion and that worked but no achievement!

When you do the move in instinct it's an "annihilation" and can be done any time in the match regardless of your health as long as you're in instinct. The ultimate is different, it has more hits and does not need to be done in instinct.

Well he just point blank refuses to do the f**king move. I am on the first bar of health and have the input at the side so I know I am doing the right combo. Tried it against the computer and a 2nd controller and nothing. Can do it everytime in instinct mode.

must be buggged, I did it at least 4 times already (got the ULTIMATE ending) and no achievement :/

UA | Bass here. can confirm that achievement is currently glitched

That sucks, it worked the first time for me.

I updated the solution with as much detail as I can muster, I hope it helps anyone who's still having difficulty.

I had initially forgot to add that line about having to be in a combo in the guide, as a KI player I had forgot that not everyone would know that so I added it in. I hope it didn't cause to much trouble to anyone who was confused.

I make this Ultimate Finisher 10 times +, no achievement.

same problem here, tried and made an Ultimate ending, but no achievement at all. Must be glitched. Hopefully it will work when Shadow Jago officially comes out for everyone?

It probably won't be fixed until the next major patch if its actually glitched, the Rivaled achievement for beating the season 2 story mode was glitched for me and I didn't get it until this patch. It took them a long while to fix it.

I don't understand why but I just unlocked it, after an ultra instinct cancel ultimate (I did a lot of ultimate before that, but no ultra cancel ultimate).

So, you can try that, or ultra shadow dark demise recapture ultimate, that may help.

I finally got it, after working out an easy combo to get it to work against a 2nd controller the achievement wouldn't pop after 5-6 successful attempts, tried online and same result however after going for the survival achievements I got it after another successful attempt in the first fight.

TL:DR It's not glitched just buggy, keep at it and it will eventually pop.

I can comfirm that IT WORKS for me ONLY when I play Single Player - Survival. Got the achievement yesterday in my first attempt (after unsuccessful 1000-times of not getting the achievement in single player fights against CPU on all difficulties).
So, just go to Single Player - Survival matches and when you perform an Ultimate with Shadow Jago, achievement pop up immediately after cutscene. Don't know why only in Survival matches, but eventually it works, that's all that matters. Happy hounting.

I was just on normal vs CPU easy when i got it.

Day after day of trying to get this achievements multiple times and still nothing. I'm seriously starting to think that it will never unlock for me. ULTIMATE "anticipating' ...... aaaaaannnnddd it didn't unlock..

Here is a video of what I was talking about.

I hope that can help.

Thanks for the advice to try it in survival mode, it unlocked there on the first try.

Might want to edit the guide to mention you can only do it while still on your first (green) life bar.

Great to hear it somehow magically works in SURVIVAL MODE in first try.

I tried it everywhere, it just won't unlock...

So I finally got it after 30 tries ,when I was trying to get Fight Challenges (VS CPU).

After several tries (vs cpu) it did not unlock. In survival it unlocked 1st try.

Finally got it to unlock in survival mode, after even more unsuccessful attempts in vs.. Thought I'd mention, the ending animation was different when it unlocked too, it did not give me the ULTIMATE across the screen.. weird one, this

Glitched for me, unlocked in survival.

Got mine on the fourth guy of survival

Won't unlock

same... unlocked first try in survival. not in multiplayer at all.

For some people having problems you can do 2 versions of this. One in game and the other which is a finishing move.

It is the finishing move you want.

That's what I did and no unlock ^

Next time you do it record it as a video and I we can look at it.

Definitely glitched. I did this online exhibition, single player vs., & Survival. No dice. Gay.

Just got it in Survival after several attempts.

Yup just did it again and no achievement. Both tries in local play. Must be it can't be done there

I got it in local vs mode with the CPU.

Got it in survival first try, thanks comments!

Tried Versus (AI and local player) - nope.
Tried Survival - unlocked at first try.

Weird, guess vs CPU was lucky for me.

Doesn't unlock against CPU either. Unlocked first try in survival.

i got it now in survival.....first try! THX Crimson for this tipp!

First try in SURVIVAL. Combo assist doesn't matter, either, like the other solution suggests. Tried twice in versus against 2nd controller, once with combo assist, once without, no POP! First survival match with assist on, pop.

Got it in Versus Mode against AI.

He just fucking flat out refuses to do the move for me, on the bright side he's level 11 and at this rate I might be able to get the 200 matches by the time.it pops

The fucker doesn't fucking do it in combos.

^Agreed, he just WILL NOT do the fucking stupid move....

I just did this against a 2nd controller and it popped. For those struggling to do the actual ultimate.. the best advice in these comments is to understand that you have to do it as a combo ender. Understanding that and how to end a combo is key. I used a simple shadow move and commanded the quarter circle A X to end it. Great guide and advice in the comments!

Hey guys and gals just letting you know I just got this vs 2 controller!

Got this with a 2nd controller aswell

I did this using a 2nd controller using a combo of just Right + A.

Land few hits and make sure the sliding kick doesnt send them flying and then use Quarter Circle + LP + LK

Earned it like a man unlike ^

It's been a long time since I played this but is it + together or separately and does it need to be part of a combo. Been trying this for the best part of an hour and cannot get it to work.

To the people saying they can do it with instinct but not without, I just wanted to make sure you are doing it mid combo. With instinct activated you just have to enter the command. Without instinct you have to treat it like other finishers and use the command to end your combo while their health is in the danger zone. Crimson Legend states this in the guide but it's a factor that is often overlooked by people unfamiliar to how KI finishers work.

Sorry for being redundant, I just wanted to make sure people are understanding it's more than just the quarter circle A+X.

I did this many times in vs against the comp, also did it in survival. it just will not unlock... pretty irritiating

You guys having trouble might want to consider reporting the issue to the developers directly at the Killer instinct forums, they've got a bug reporting thread. The more people who report it the more likely it is to get fixed.

Change your solution because I unlocked it with combo assist!

Done. I wonder if it has been patched since I posted my solution.
