This is easiest done in local multiplayer with a second controller. In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 play as Cyrax. It is crucial that you do not press right trigger (block) while in the fight because for some reason the friendship will not work if you do.

If you use no punches, you can do the friendship in the second round. If you use punches, you can only do the friendship in the third round.

Once you get to the end at the "Finish Him" screen press LB, LB, LB, Up. In case you are wondering what LB does, or you have changed your controls, LB is the run button on the default settings.

start up a match with 2 controllers. Controller 1 is Scorpion controller 2 whoever. Now for entire match only USE ONLY( Y or B). When the "Finish Him" comes up hit (back,back,down,Y) this can be done anywhere. I found this method much easier then others posted after trying others for up to 10matches and only need once with this method. Hope this helps. please leave thumbs up if did and if not please leave comment on how I can improve this solution.

I believe I did this on MK2.

This is trickier than it seems. First, you can only perform a Friendship in MK2 or UMK3. Second, to perform either a Babality or a Friendship you have to win both rounds using only kicks (Y +B) then at the "Finish him" screen you can perform the button combination I used Kitana's in MK2 (Down, Down, Down, Up + B) you can stand anywhere and Ding the achievement is yours.

I got it with Reptile on MK2. Once again, use only kicks (Y or B) during the whole match. When it's time to "Finish Him", from anywhere on the screen, press Back, Back, Down, Low Kick (B). This is as easy as Friendships get. :-)

Just to clear things up because there is some confusion. If you are doing the Friendship or Babality in MK2, you cannot use punches in the deciding round. If you are doing the Friendship or Babality in UMK3, you cannot use Block in the deciding round. And just to be more specific, by deciding round i mean the round that wins the match for you. If you have default settings then a match last until someone wins 2 rounds. So in this case you would be able to use block in UMK3 or punches in MK2 in the first round that you win. In the 2nd round you cannot. If you win the 1st round and accidentily use punches(MK2) or block(UMK3) in the 2nd round, just lose the round on purpose to go to a 3rd round. Special moves that require you to tap a punch button also cannot be used in MK2. Probably why they changed it to block in MK3 so people could use all their special moves and do a Friendship or Babality at the end.

Ok this achievement really easy and quick to get. I did it on mk2, using subzero. you can only use kicks witch is y and b. when you see then finish him across the screen press back, back, down, y.
