How to unlock the What Does This Button Do?? achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

A very easy achievement. Put it on beginner,one round (thanks ninja) and choose Noob Saibot. He is just way too good and a very easy character to use. All you have to do is ( down,forward a ) which sends your shadow running and will tackle your opponent and then press ( down, up ) and you will teleport to your opponent and slam him into the ground. I pretty much just used those two combined with my x-ray and i won every match with ease. You can even throw in ( down, right, x ) and shoot your little electrical ball at your enemy just to mix things up a bit. All you have to remember is to never block an attack. Feel free to use RT (block) for moves/fatalities but dont actually block an attack.

if you do die just hit continue and try again.

you will also unlock another achievement for beating the ladder if you havent done that already.

i cannot confirm it but i assume you can also get the tag team one as well if you never block.
Tried it in tag team but didn't unlock for me.- BadTriangle

For anyone who may be wondering, I played through and used block to do some stage fatalities and I still got the achievement. I know that's a minor detail, but still potentially useful! - Cyprus Church

does it matter if you press the block button, or only if it actually blocks an attack?

only if you actually block an attack. you can use RT for your super moves or whatever they are but dont block an attack

To continue on that, I held down the block button and saw my character do the animation, but since no attacks were blocked I still got the achievement.

just to confirm: you can use the block button in super specials and also x-ray combos. what it means is do not stop an attack by blocking it ;)

Shao Kahn can be mildly annoying at close range but best way to beat him on beginner is just with projectile spam.

Just to update on this achievement I have just got it and even though I blocked one of Shao Khan's spears I hit the player selection screen and restarted from there and still got the achievement.

So don't go getting angry and raging back to menu just hit player select and try again.

This was a pretty easy achievement, so it shouldn't be much trouble, all you have to do is beat the arcade mode without blocking an incoming attack. If you really cannot seem to do this no matter how hard you try, i suggest using Sheeva and spamming her up-down move, and just do that over and over, go to the gameplay settings and change the rounds to 30 seconds and 1 round to win, if you accidently block, simply go to character select, and you'll start off where you left off. in addition to this i recomend doing the secret achievement for performing a babality.
after K.O.ing them without blocking, instead of doing a normal fatality put in (down, down, down, back, B) from a jumping distance, and if you haven't blocked, and are the right distance away, you will do that in addition.

This is not that hard and can be done on Beginner difficulty. Just ensure that you do not use the R button at all anytime during your ladder playthrough and the trophy should unlock once you defeat Shao Kahn.

Enter Fight on the main menu and then Ladder. You must work your way through the Arcade Ladder without hitting the block button once so do not try using your X-Ray or Enhanced Specials in case you mess up and block.

Try doing this achievement the same time you are doing "Robots Rule!" and spam Sektor's Teleport Uppercut move throughout.

Fairly simple one; just finish the ladder WITHOUT pressing the button. You can do the X-Rays (+) just make sure you have the bar completely full and you will have it straight away.

The description is a little misleading, pressing the block button (R2) accidentally will not void the trophy but if you are attacked while blocking you will have to restart the ladder from the beginning.

You can still use X-Ray moves without voiding the trophy (L2 + R2), just be sure that the meter is full.

You can go through everyone in the tag ladder with one fighter using a block, and on Shao Kahn, when his end is near, change the fighter.

The trophy is easy, the main thing is to forget about the block button during the passage, including enhanced strikes that are made with a super strike + block, since there is a high probability of accidentally getting into a block.
