How to unlock the A For Effort achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

To obtain this achievement is fairly simple, just go through 15 different tutorials showing you the ropes of the game. They are as follow:
Tutorial 1: You will learn how to move (does this really need to be in the game?).
Tutorial 2: You will face your first opponent, except you can't attack, (lame I know) just let him hit you a few times and tutorial 2 will be successful.
Tutorial 3: You will finally learn to attack and block
Tutorial 4: You will learn combos
Tutorial 5: You will learn different variations of throws
Tutorial 6: This is your second fight (except you get to attack this time (woot))
you are also however, given tasks you must complete in the bottom right hand corner, complete those first, and finally finish your opponent off.
Tutorial 7: You will learn special moves (finally starting to get exciting)
Tutorial 8: You will learn the reflecting moves with Nightwolf
Tutorial 9: You will learn the invisibility technique with reptile, though there is a catch, you MUST stay invisible for 6 seconds (this can get annoying as you will get hit when you have almost completed the 6 seconds)
Tutorial 10: You will learn about the Super Meter
Tutorial 11: You will learn how to pull of breakers (this can be tricky to learn and get the hang of, but don't give up!)
Tutorial 12: You will get to learn the SICK X-Ray attacks, finally, VERY EXCITING!
Tutorial 13: You will learn all the different variations of Tags (can also be tricky to learn and get the hang of)
Tutorial 14: You will learn more complicated variations of Tags
Tutorial 15: (last one!) You will be pitted against your final fight, yes, again you must complete tasks in the right hand corner, once finished, the tutorial will end and what do you get.....(can I get a drum roll?).............A.....for EFFORT! Achievement Unlocked!

Another thing for the kombos, for example, when you are told to do DOWN, FORWARD+Y, make sure you press forward and Y simultaneously not just forward then Y for those of you who are not sure

@Malicious Stig, are you sure their health is regenerating? because it shouldn't be, the final match is a tag team match, so you might just think they are regenerating health when they're simply just switching out to the other CPU

Alright, to confirm that their health DOES regenerate but that's because you need to do the Breaker, 4-hit kombo, enhanced move, tag assist THEN proceed to finishing off your opponents after that their health should not regenerate

I'm with lowrida1987. I can't get past the "tricky combo", even though I've successfully used it against the bot multiple times. It's driving me insane.

Well I just replayed the 4th tutorial and I don't see how you guys are failing it, perhaps you are not pressing the buttons fast enough, or taking to long from one button to the next.
If that doesn't work, maybe try and pace yourself with different speeds, try and wait till the first hit is finished then quickly hit the next button, because the key is hand eye coordination, you must hit the next button as SOON as the hit is landed on your opponent. Don't give up I know you guys can do this

I have the same problem as Malicious Stig. I've done ALL required moves and yet the opponents health keep regenerating after I defeat him (only Sektor's health)
