How to unlock the The Grappler achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

Each character has two throws. Fwd+RB, and RB (while standing still).

Just perform these using every characters in Arcade Ladder.

The best way to get this is to set arcade ladder to beginner, one round. Go for it the same time as "fatalities with every character", "x-rays with every character" and "complete arcade ladder with every character" to save time - 4 achievements will pop when you are on your last runthrough.

Complete story mode first though to unlock Quan-chi and Cyber Sub-Zero.

Gave you a thumbs up, but you may want to add that all characters have a neutral RB throw but the second throw is either forward + RB or backward + RB.

Do you need to perform certain characters 'Air Throws' as well? Such as Sonya?

Do the throws you do in story mode count towards the total completion of this achievement?

I had a hard time going for this whilst doing the character towers as throws are not something I use in this game normally and since there is no way to keep track of which throws you have done I was stressing this achievement.

Just wanted to point this out in case anyone is trying to get this achievement still though, I got this by doing tag team ladder starting from the top and making my way to the bottom with teams of two characters, Scorpion and Liu Kang, then Kung Lao and Sub-Zero, then Sindel and Ermac, etc. Once in the match, all you have to do is just do both throws for both characters then you can leave and do the next team.

It is not necessary to finish the match or do this with Freddy, Rain, Kenshi, or Scarlet.

For the record, I just wanted to add that if you didn't do this when you were running through the ladder with all the characters, you CAN do this in Versus mode with 2 controllers.

The fastest way to go through everyone is load up Versus Two-On-Two (Tag), select 2 characters you need to complete on controller 1, and whoever on controller 2.

At the loading screen, on controller 2 only, if you press X twice and Y twice it will make player 2 start at Quarter Health.
In the match, do your neutral/back throw, and your forward throw, punch once (this will kill Player 2's first character), tag out, do your 2nd character's throws, and then finish player 2's 2nd character. Rinse and repeat till you have the achievement.

Forward+RB, Backward+RB. Pretty simple. I would assume that you will need to complete story mode and unlock the last two fighters and do both of the throws with them as well.

R1 = backward throw.
R1 + forward = forward throw.

You need to do this for the fighters in the vanilla version of MK as well as the two characters unlocked by completing story mode. (Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi.)

Training mode does not seem a viable option for unlocking this trophy, so you'll need to do this vs the CPU, people online or a second player.

This is another one that will come naturally if you perform throws with every character whilst going for the "Arcade Champion" trophy. While playing through the ladder, perform both the forward throw (Forward + L Button) and backward throw (L Button) when next to the opponent. The trophy will unlock once you have performed both throws for all 32 characters.

To perform a throw you must be next to your opponent and then hit plus the direction you want to throw the opponent. Press + to throw forward and or + to throw backward.

This can not be done in Training and you must also do the throws of hidden characters Quan Chi and Cyber Sub-Zero.

For this one you need to keep track of every fighter and perform a throw forward and backward, by pressing and moving the left or right for the throws. There are 28 available fighters so you will need to finish the story mode to unlock the 2 remaining characters (Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi). You can download this CHECKLIST to help keep track of the moves and fighters.

Easy trophy. I hope I'm the first to receive it.

So here's the path: Training -> Tag Team Practice.

Choose two heroes (I did it in order, 4 heroes in a line => two runs).

Perform 2 different grabs for one character, then R and two grabs for the other. Leave and so on until you get the trophy.

The easiest way to knock out is during ARCADE CHAMPION . It will take less time!

Everything is counted perfectly in Tag Ladder. I just got it this way myself. So you can reduce it to 2x2
