How to unlock the A Very Special Gift achievement in STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN - Definitive Guide
You can get two controllers and play versus mode over and over as a single player to get this achievement as well. Simply spam your lowest damage Special (Hit start and go to the move list to see your characters specials). Then before the opponent is defeated switch to their second character by pressing medium kick and medium punch at the same time. Proceed to do the same to their second teammate. You should be able to get 20-30 (depending on your character and the strength of your 'weak' special move) per round. Set the round limits as high as you'd like.
The Achievement will not pop the instant you connect your 500th Special Move. It will pop after you finish your current full match (not single round)
ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS
Be sure to set yourself up with Assist gems and Boost gems that activate when special moves connect. Try NOT to use boost gems that increase your power. Go for defensive or speed boosts. That way you do not do more damage which will equal less special moves per round. Remember to also set your partner up with similar gems. They can only be activated once per round. By giving your partner similar gems, switching and activating them, you can double the number of gem activations per round. This will aid with the gem activation achievements.
Remember to make the final blow of the round a Super Art, Pandora, Cross Art, or Cross Assault so that you can work on those achievements at the same time.
Edit: Also, you can go into your Player Record to see your current running tally of special moves successfully connected. This will be under player data not character data.
This one should come with the rest of the grinds, especially if you use Yoshimitsu's super (Windmill Blade, Half circle away from the opponent + Punch) to build the meter regularly. Local versus against a second controller or an AI opponent works well, naturally set the rounds to 4 and the health to 100% in order to reduce loading times.
Each character has their own set of special moves. For example, Ryu has:
Hadoken: +
Shoryuken: +
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku: +
Joudan Sokutogeri: +
If you have an easy input or super easy input gem, then the moves have different inputs (different versions are viewable from the movelist). Just connect with 50 of these in Arcade or Network mode for the trophy.
Every character has a unique list of Special Moves under their command list, all of which can be done with a simple rotation and push of a button. A lot of the Tekken characters have special stances within there special move list that match that of their styles from the Tekken games. Here is an example of Special Moves from Chun Li's command list:
- Kikoken: +
- Hazanshu: +
- Spinning Bird Kick: Charge > +
- Hyakuretsukyaku: +
For each special move to count towards this trophy it must make physical contact with the opposing character when they are not blocking. You can keep track of your progress towards this trophy under "Player Data" in the main menu, select Player Records and it will display your overall progress.
