Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

: This trophy can now be obtain online with a boosting partner as of the Online Multiplayer and Wallace DLC Pack.

Ninja Somersault is the hardest trophy in the game. In order to unlock the trophy you must simply perform at least 10 consecutive head stomps successfully with Knives. The head stomp is one of Knives Move List attacks. You can perform the Head Stomp by pressing the button in mid air. It's a level 11 move, but you should be a level 16. There are a variety of methods that you can do to go about obtaining this trophy. Once you've completed your 10th and successful head stomp without getting blocked or hit, you'll unlock the trophy. Below are the three best methods:

• Method 1: Very Difficult Method
  • This is the hardest method, but this is the original normal method for obtaining the trophy. Begin the Story Mode on Average Joe and as Knives and then select Subspace Highway? Once you're in the level, proceed to face Gideon's second form of the Angle/Mutant. Now you may be tempted to do the head stomps on the Mutant Evil Exes, but he'll just eventually do his shock attack to hurt you. Simply defeat the first Mutant form and he'll face you himself. Now try your best to get into a good position and jump into the air with and continue to press the button against him. If you're lucky enough to manage to do the 10 consecutive head stomps successfully without being hurt, missing or blocked, then you'll unlock the trophy. The only thing that makes this method hard is that it doesn't always work out this way. For one, he'll usually back away once you hit him for the 8th time causing you to miss him. He can also punch you off the stage which does a lot of damage and sometimes he slams his fist on to the ground which interferes with you attacking him. Try to start hitting him when he gets close to you and keep spamming the button while in the air to keep the consecutive head stomps going. If you were lucky to pull it off you get 11 consecutive hits and he'll enter lightning attack mode.

• Method 2: Medium Difficult Method
  • This is the second best method for obtaining the trophy. Begin the Story Mode on Average Joe and as Knives and then select Subspace Highway? Now after jumping onto the platform with the Scott's Heart Sword in your hand, connect a 2nd controller and have a "guest" ready to join into the game as "Ramona", but first use the Sword to defeat the Mutant Evil Exes form then quickly throw the Sword away with the button. Now quickly press the button on your 2nd controller to have Ramona join into the game. Move her towards the upper portion of the screen next to the blue pillar and have her use her Striker by pressing the button. Now both characters will be in Ex Mode making them faster. Now get close to Gideon and jump into the air with and continue pressing the button to perform head stomps. If lucky you'll get over 10 consecutive head stomps right there. If not, there are a few things that could happen. One of the most common things that happens is once you get the 8th consecutive hit, Gideon will back up and out of your reach causing you to miss him; however, thanks to the Ex Mode from Ramona you can simply start spamming the Tech 2 attack with + while still in the air. This tech will send you higher into the air and will keep your combo going. This is why Ramona's Striker is needed to get Knives into Ex Mode. When Gideon returns back into your reach, continue to hit him with the remaining amount of head stomps that you need. Moments later the trophy will unlock. It's also worth mentioning that he won't attack you if you attack him right away when he's back into reach. This method was originally mentioned by pillsbury15.

If you're wondering where to unlock Tech 2, then you must play through World 6: The Park and make it into the secret shop where you see four guys standing outside. Press the button to enter the secret shop and buy the Special Training for $57.50. Check your Move List and you'll notice that you have Tech 2 unlocked. Note that if you unlocked Tech 1 instead of Tech 2, then simply press and select Return to Map. Now Select World 6: The Park over again and make it to the shop to buy the Special Training once again. This time you'll have Tech unlocked.

• Method 3: Medium/Easy Difficult Depending on Skills
  • This is another common way to go about obtaining the trophy, but it's the most time consuming way and requires skill as well as luck. The first thing you'll need to do is use the Survival Horror (aka Zombie Mode) at the title screen with the following code: , , , , , , , , , , . Now that you've entered that code, you'll have a new mode inside the Extra Game Modes. Go into Extra Game Modes and select Survival Horror on Average Joe difficultly and then select Knives as your character. Now it's time to get to the killing. You'll need to kill an extremely high amount of zombies in order to fill the screen full of zombies. I recommend that you kill around 75-90+ zombies. Do this by getting over 5 kills without getting hit to have Knives enter Ex Mode. Once in Ex Mode, jump into the air with and then spam Tech 2 by pressing the
    + to quickly rack up kills. Once you're close to a decent high amount of kills such as 75-90+, simply go towards the bottom of the screen or either the middle of the screen and spam the + and + over and over again. This trick will help you line the zombies up for you to continue to head stomp. Once you feel like you're ready, jump into the air with and start head stomping with button. Make sure that each hit connects and inflicts damage towards the zombie you hit. If the zombie you hit blocks the attack or if you miss or just simply got hit the consecutive counter will reset and you will have to retry the consecutive head stomps over again. If you're lucky to pull off this method you'll unlock the trophy.
