How to unlock the The Root Of Chaos achievement in STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN - Definitive Guide
Edit: Thanks to Lordkung i confirmed, you can use Zangief on the 2nd slot for Tekken side too, just the 1st character needs to be from Tekken.
As with any Street Fighter game this generation the key to this is to rely on Zangiefs lariat. For my Street Fighter run I paired him with Rufus so it counted towards facing my 5 rivals, and on my second run I chose a character of my choice on the Tekken side followed by Zangief. You can try hurting the lead character some with your Tekken character, however Zangief and his L1 lariat make life much easier in the process. After completing two playthroughs and facing the two different bosses, you have your achievement!
There are 2 bosses that you will need to beat. If your main character is a Street Fighter character, then you will fight Akuma for the final fight. If you are a Tekken character, then you will fight Ogre. Sub character does not matter. The easiest way to do this is simply to choose Zangief and spam Lariats. For the Ogre run, choose a Tekken character as your main and use Zangief as sub, then switch to him when the battle starts. You can set it to 1 round/30 seconds to make this go faster.
For this trophy you must defeat all the bosses in Arcade mode on the hardest difficulty which are only Akuma and Orge. The boss you trigger depends on the first person within your team, if you have a Street Fighter character on point Orge will appear and if you have a Tekken character on point Akuma will appear. The second character in your tag team does not matter, that said you could easily use that to your advantage using Zangief's tactics once again, when starting up arcade mode play under the following settings:
- Rounds to win: 1
- Timer: 30
This will help a great deal as you won't have to play long dragged out battles, Zangief has a lot of health so if you block and punish accordingly you are sure to win any time outs. When using Zangief you want to utilize his two greatest tools; Double Lariat () & Spinning Pile-driver (360 motion + ). The Double Lariat is easily one of Zangief's abusable moves with the upper body invul he has and deals 150 damage on its own. The Spinning Pile-driver is his command grab and does 180-230 depending on the version. However if you are having trouble performing the 360 commands or if you are too lazy, you can opt to equip Zangief with the Super Easy Input Assist Gem so that you only have to press to perform his Pile-driver at the cost of a 10% damage reduction.
