Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

It doesn't take a great deal of skill to do the first ten tests, however it will require knowledge of all the basic moves, which are detailed in the Road Map, as well as within each test description. The trophy will unlock upon completing Win Streak Test 1.

NOTE: Losing a test will require you to start again, so if you fail during the 5th round of a test, you will have to begin at the 1st round again.

The first ten tests and their requirements are (all tests are 5 matches unless specified):

- Striking Test 1 - strike opponent 5 times and win, counter 1 or more times and win (last match only)

• Counter - to Counter, you must strike the opponent immediately after they strike you.

- Guarding Test 1 - block 5 strikes and win

• Guard/Block - To Guard/Block, you must use the [G] command. You can stand guard, which will block high attacks and middle attacks, but not low attacks. You can also crouch guard by pressing whilst using [G], which blocks low attacks and dodges high attacks, but leaves you vulnerable to middle attacks.

- Defensive Move Test 1 - win without opponent evading 7 strikes

• Defensive Move - In order to use a Defensive Move, you must press or to move away from or closer to the camera, respectively. Doing so at the right time will dodge certain attacks. For this test, you must defeat the opponent without them successfully using a Defensive Move 7 times in a match.

- Offensive Move Test 1 - use 1 or more offensive moves and win

• Offensive Move - An Offensive Move is performed by using [G] + [P] + [K] (default ) while using a Defensive Move (see Defensive Move Test 1 for how to perform a Defensive Move). Do not hold or , as this will result in your character simply walking around the opponent, as opposed to dodging. Firmly tap or , then use the [G] + [P] + [K] combination to use an Offensive Move.

- Health Bar Test 1 - defeat opponents with more health (3 matches)

• Simply defeat the opponents who have higher health that normal.

- Combo Test 1 - achieve a combo of 2 strikes 1 or more times and win

• A combo of 2 strikes is easily achieved with any combination of punches and kicks in rapid succession, such as [P], [P]; [K], [K]; or [P], [K].

- Throwing Test 1 - throw the opponent 1 or more times and win

• Grab/Throw - To Grab or Throw a player, you must use either [G] + [P], [G] + [K] or [G] + [P] + [K] against a guarding enemy. You can tell when an opponent is guarding by their fists blocking their face.

- Special Rules Test 1 - Win a match where recovery after attacks can be cancelled (3 matches)

• The special rule for challenge 8 is that there is not a recovery when a fighter falls, you can use this to keep the AI from attacking and the AI can use it to wipe you out. Although the AI usually lets you get back up. This special rule is also in effect in challenge 9, which is why if you spam attack the AI the AI should rarely even get in a hit much less parry.

- Special Moves Test 1 - Win without opponent parrying 5 strikes

• The opponent will sometime parry your strike when you attack, indicated by the blocking animation. Here is a good strategy for this as suggested by GenocideHeart: Using Sarah, knock the opponent into the air with + (or ) + [K], then juggle the enemy with [P], [P], [P], [K]. This will mostly prevent the opponent from parrying any strikes, plus make victory considerably easier.
• Another excellent method is to simply use either Lau Chan or Pai Chan and spam + [P], as your opponent simply won't get the time to parry any of your strikes.

- Win Streak Test 1 - win 6 matches in a row (6 matches)

• Simply win 6 matches without losing, no other criteria.
