How to unlock the Blink Of An Eye achievement in Street Fighter X Tekken - Definitive Guide
In my video tutorial I'll show you how to get multiple Super Ex Moves, Super Arts, Pandoras, and Pandoras Finish.
In 1 fight of infinity time and 7 rounds:
- 16 Super Ex Moves
- 7 Pandora
- 4 Pandora Finish
- 3 Super Art
Watch my video to do the things more eazy.
However there is an alternate way to activate EX moves in this game, when you use the move continue holding the button and you will charge it, when your character flashes red for a second you can release the attack as an EX Version without using any of your Special Gauge.
If you want to farm these the best way I have found, so far, is to use Ken in arcade mode. Begin the battle by using Quarter Circle Back + Heavy Kick, as soon as that move ends use Heavy Shoryuken, this will knock the opponent down. Quickly do Quarter Circle Back and then hold the kick, you should be able to charge it to an EX before they get back up. Use it on them and then immediately use Heavy Shoryuken to knock them over and keep repeating this process until you win. You also can use some EX Shoryukens in place of the heavies since you will be gaining meter from your attacks.
I assume EX Moves in Local Versus count so that way is probably easier then what I said, but it is only an assumption, not a fact.
Best way would be to pick someone like Ryu... then go against Hugo & Zangief (most health).. for a best of 7 match.
Now just super charge EX's constantly, switching opponent when they are nearly KO'd. Then finish off the other guy.
Rinse & repeat. This also goes for the other cheevos. (you will get the perfects on the way also)
You can boost the pandora mode like this, just change your starting health to 25% so you can activate it.
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 Charge Attack to activate your EX Special (Hit start and go to the move list to see your characters Charge Attack). Remember to only charge it to the first charge up. If you go to the second charge it will activate your Super Arts. 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 10-15 (depending on your character and the strength of your EX 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 EX pecial 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.
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.
Personally, I paired these with my Pandora trophies given the fact once you initiate Pandora you instantly have a full super meter. This way, you can execute 3 of these moves per Pandora and knock out the trophy in no time. Don't forget, they have to connect to count. It's because of this that local versus is your best bet. Second controllers are preferred however it's still useful to fight AI in this mode given the fact you can adjust the health bar. Give yourself and the AI/Second controller 25% handicaps and initiate Pandora at the start. Then fire your 3 Ex Special Moves and win and you'll be making progress towards both trophies!
Ex Special Moves can also be initiated when you use a characters special move that can be charged in to their Super Move. When your character flashes after a couple seconds, release the attack button you had held and you'll launch an Ex Super Move. An example of this is holding Ryu's Hadouken by pressing Quarter Circle Toward and then any punch. Hold the punch, and he'll start charging the Hadouken. If you release it after the flash, It's an Ex Super Move and if you hold it all the way through it's a super move.
Performing an EX Special Move is similar to that of its regular version but instead of pressing just 1 one of the attack buttons, you will have to press 2 and give up 1 bar of your meter. Here's an example of how to use an EX move using the move list under A Very Special Gift:
- Kikoken: +
- Hazanshu: +
- Spinning Bird Kick: Charge > +
- Hyakuretsukyaku: +
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.
Easy No Meter Cost Method:
An easier way of performing an EX move is to use the characters special move that can be Super Charged, in this case it would be Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku: Simply make the input and hold until you see one spark light up on Chun Li and at this time, let go and it will release an EX Hyakuretsukyaku at the cost of no Meter.
