How to unlock the Trail Of Ruined Dreams achievement in Street Fighter X Tekken - Definitive Guide

For starters, as the achievement states the game difficulty has to be set to medium in order to pop this achievement. This cannot be changed mid bout so you will just have to tough things out yourself, however I've found that a 30 second time limit helps wonders.

The rival teams pop up prior to facing the oni team, and usually pose a decent challenge. I'm not 100% certain if it can be the same teams, however it helps your title progress if you go through arcade with different characters as each character has one for completion and another for completion of hardest.

Anyway, I've noticed you only get rival battles with teams that belong together for example Juri and Bison, Ryu and Ken etc. If you are curious as to who is partnered with who keep an eye on the pairings in arcade as I've noticed they are fitting. You can tell who is compatible if you look at the character select screen the characters are in pairings. I'll post the teams either way...

Guile/Abel
Heihachi/Kuma
Chun Li/Cammy
Ryu/Ken
Kazuya/Nina
Zangief/Rufus
Dhalsim/Sagat
Jin/Xiaoyu
Yoshimitsu/Raven
Balrog/Vega
Bison/Juri
Asuka/Lili
Howarang/Steve
Rolento/Ibuki
Paul/Law
Julia/Bob
Poison/Hugo
King/Marduk

Akuma and Ogre however do not have partners.

FailedSeppukku also confirmed you can lose at the Pandora fight and the rival fight will still count. You can complete the game for the bonus title or two if you are on hard, however titles are nothing to stress about given the number you get between both the trials and XBOX LIVE matches.

EDIT: Thanks Urashima Izumi and Duwen we have a bit more to offer as far as this achievement goes. Here is a list Duwen provided as far as which fighters will bring about which rivalry...
Guile & Abel -> Heihachi & Kuma
Chun-Li & Cammy -> Lili & Asuka
Ryu & Ken -> Kazuya & Nina
Zangief & Rufus -> Bob & Julia
Sagat & Dhalsim -> Paul & Law
Balrog & Vega -> Yoshimitsu & Raven
Juri & Bison -> Heihachi & Kuma
Rolento & Ibuki -> Marduk & King
Poison & Hugo -> Hwoarang & Steve

We can't really figure out why some instances there are rival doubles however it should be noted that if you are facing a similar rival team it will not count. Difficulty may have something to do with it however if you want to be safe pick from the pairings mentioned above. Just in case you were wondering you do not need to use the Capcom side, that's just what we preferred. laugh If somebody could find out if both sides of the rivalry count as 2, that would be awesome.

Do i have to finish or can i give up on Akuma/Ogre. They're ridiculously cheap (as always).

to answer my own question, you can just lose on the Pandora Team and still get the achievement. I went through the game with 2 teams, lost twice on Ogre/Akuma and once on Pandora Team.

Just confirming, the rival teams must be different in order to unlock this. In my 5th playthrough I was using Guile/Abel and it happens that their rival team is the same as Juri/Bison (Kuma and Heihachi) so it did not count. On my 6th playthrough I used a different team and faced a rival team I haven't beaten before and then it unlocked.

You can quit once you are fighting the oni team.

Ok - I've sussed it now, having just played through with some of the Tekken teams.

In the following list the rivalries are mirrored, ie you play as Guile and Abel you'll face Heihachi and Kuma, or play as Heihachi and Kuma and you'll face Guile and Abel...

Guile & Abel --- Heihachi & Kuma
Chun-Li & Cammy --- Lili & Asuka
Ryu & Ken --- Kazuya & Nina
Zangief & Rufus --- Bob & Julia
Sagat & Dhalsim --- Paul & Law
Balrog & Vega --- Yoshimitsu & Raven
Rolento & Ibuki --- Marduk & King
Poison & Hugo --- Hwoarang & Steve

...the exceptions (and where rivalries are shared) are when you play as one of the two oni teams;

(P) Juri & Bison -> (R) Heihachi & Kuma
(P) Jin & Xiaoyu -> (R) Chun-Li & Cammy

My dupe fight against Hwoarang and Steve... well, I can only put that down to user error wink

Amazing solution and comments for this chevo. +1. By far the best Rivals intro video is Zangief and Rufus going in on Fat Ken. LMAO! Classic.

I can confirm that playing both sides of the same rivalry DOES count towards this cheeve. I played Cammy / Chun-Li and Asuka / Lili and the dialog is different. Asuka / Lili was my playthrough, and it popped right after the rival fight.

At first I played 5 fights with 4 SF teams and finished with Paul and Law. No pop. I thought it might have been because one team was a Tekken team. However, I did face Heihachi and Kuma twice. Capcom should have put "5 different rival teams" in the description. Great solution and comments.

A bit of a useless point as you've already listed all the teams, but when you pick your No1 fighter the cursor for your No2 choice will always default to their natural partner.

Thanks for confirming that you do only get rival battles if you use these 'natural' partnerships though. I was wondering about that.

I've changed my vote to a thumbs-up, and deleted my previous comment.

In brief; not only do you have to pick 5 different teams, you specifically have to beat 5 different rival teams.

Mysteriously, I've gone up against Cammy and Chun-Li twice with different teams, and likewise twice against Hwoarang and Steve.

iheartslampigs and I have been trying to get to the bottom of it and, well... it's really bizarre, to say the least, but I've just played through it with all the SF teams and only found one duplicate rival team - the same dupe mentioned by Urashima Izumi above...

Team picked on the left, rivals faced on the right:

Guile & Abel -> Heihachi & Kuma
Chun-Li & Cammy -> Lili & Asuka
Ryu & Ken -> Kazuya & Nina
Zangief & Rufus -> Bob & Julia
Sagat & Dhalsim -> Paul & Law
Balrog & Vega -> Yoshimitsu & Raven
Juri & Bison -> Heihachi & Kuma
Rolento & Ibuki -> Marduk & King
Poison & Hugo -> Hwoarang & Steve

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps you face different rivals under different difficulty settings (or amount of rounds).
All of the above were done with one-round-win on medium difficulty, but when I first played through (and experienced the dupes) I started on medium, then did one or two on hard, and then some on hardest - all set to best-of-three rounds.

Probably best to stick to the same settings while playing through for this cheev, just in case wink

You must play as a default SF or TK team in order to fight a rival team. See Stories to Tell for a list of default teams. You are allowed to continue during arcade mode for this. You can track progress under Player Data > Trophy Viewer.
