X-Men: Children of the Atom Achievements Guide
To Me, My X-Men!
Play X-Men: Children of the Atom.
- Start the game and complete a match.
Uncanny X-cellence
Complete X-Men: Children of the Atom. (Continues OK)
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
Hyper X Finish
KO an opponent in X-Men: Children of the Atom with a Hyper X move.
- Build up the special bar below your health, and finish off an opponent with your character’s hyper X move. The easiest way is just to use the L2 button which is set to it by default.
Push It to the Limit
Achieve a 50-hit combo in X-Men: Children of the Atom.
- This one can seem more luck based. I personally used Iceman and did his Arctic Attack Hyper X move on a cornered enemy. It was not a guaranteed 50 hit instantly and I had to reload quicksave a few times, but eventually it got it.
Challenger from Another World
Encounter Akuma in Arcade Mode of X-Men: Children of the Atom.
- To get Akuma to come out, do the following:
- Win all rounds. You can not lose.
- Get the FIRST HIT in every single round
- Finish every single round with Hyper X move
- Play on NORMAL setting, not auto
- Play with the default round and difficulty setting
- Your Hyper X needs to actually hit. Meaning the enemy can not block getting chip damage instead.
- (Old Rumoured Requirement) Make sure that your Hyper X move deals a high amount of hits at least once, the number varies depending on character, example: 10 hits with storm
- Definitely make use of quicksaves here.
Marvel Super Heroes Achievements Guide
War of the Gems
Play Marvel Super Heroes.
- Start the game and complete a match.
Across Infinity
Complete Marvel Super Heroes. (Excludes auto mode. Continues OK
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
A Whole New World of Pain
Pull off an Air Combo in Marvel Super Heroes.
- The easiest way would be to perform a launcher that sends your opponent into the air, and follow them quickly with a super jump and just do a combo on ’em. Any combo really. There’s really multiple ways to do this, just as long as the combo is with both you and your opponent in the air.
Suitable Stones
Activate the gem most suited to your selected character in Marvel Super Heroes.
- Just make sure to activate an infinity stone on a character that best suits them.
- Power Stone – Wolverine, Captain America, Psylocke, Spider-Man
- Time Stone – Hulk
- Soul Stone – Iron Man
- Space Stone – Magneto, Juggernaut
- Reality Stone – Blackheart
Raiders of the Lost Ruins
Go to the hidden area in the Chaos Dimension Stage in Marvel Super Heroes.
- Set up a match with 2 players, and after selecting both players hold down the start + Y button on controller 2 or your controller’s equivalent. This will send you to the chaos dimension stage. Next up you will want to knock player 2 into the hidden part of the stage by crashing them through the right wall. This easiest done by using characters like Juggernaut who can just use the L1 preset.
X-Men vs. Street Fighter Achievement Guide
The Crossover Begins
Play X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
- Start the game and complete a match.
Mutations vs. Martial Arts
Complete X-Men vs. Street Fighter. (Continues OK)
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
Two Fists Are Better Than One
Pull off a Cross-Over Combination in X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
- Get 2 super bars and press down, down forward, forward and heavy punch + heavy kick to do a cross over combo.
That’s Raging Demon to You, Sugah
Use Rogue to finish a match with Shun Goku Satsu in X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
- The quickest way to do with is to have a 2nd player. Pick Rogue as player 1 with the other player as Akuma. Steal Akuma’s moves as Rogue with a down to back quarter circle and any kick button. Then get Akuma’s health down and finish him off with Shun Goku Tatsu, which is just a light punch, light punch, forward, light kick, heavy punch.
You Just Sit Back and Relax
Eliminate all opponents without using your reserve character in X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
- Win a match without ever switching characters.
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter Achievement Guide
Welcome to the Adventure!
Play Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
- Start the game and complete a match.
Remade With Real Power
Complete Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. (Continues OK)
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
A Duo of True Blue Hadokens
Defeat the opposing team with a Double Shinku Hadoken in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
- Pick Ken & Ryu. Do their crossover combination (2 bars required) to finish off an enemy. Quarter circle forward (D/DF/F) and heavy punch + heavy kick to pull it off.
From the Shadows
Encounter a challenger in Arcade Mode of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
- Fight one of the secret opponents
- For Mecha Zangief -> in the first 5 Matches perform 3 Crossover Combination finishes and 2 Hyper X finishes
- For Dark Sakura -> in the first 5 Matches perform 4 Crossover Combinations and 1 Hyper X finish
- For Shadow -> Perform 5 Crossover Combination finishes while swapping your point character for each match by holding all 3 punch buttons before each fight
Keep Your Day Job!
Pull off Dan’s secret entrance in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
- Just pick Dan and hold down light punch before the match starts. Keep holding until he falls on his face and the achievement is triggered.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes Achievements Guide
Let’s Go Crazy!
Play Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
- Start the game and complete a match.
Beyond the Battle
Complete Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. (Continues OK)
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
Bosom Buddies
Call your Special Partner in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
- Call in your assist character. Easy enough to do with with a simple Y+B button combination on the controller. Check controller mapping if yours is different.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Hurt
Pull off a Duo Team Attack in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
- Make sure to have 2 super bars filled and do a back quarter circle (D,DB,B) and R!+R12 (heavy punch + heavy kick) to pull this off.
This One’s a Keeper!
Pull off a pose on the victory message screen that nets 10,000 points in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
- This one is super tricky and I recommend picking someone like Chun-Li to pull this off. What you need to do is at the end of a match start hitting the start button until you can move around freely. This allows you to set up a pose for some bonus points. The pose will lock in and register about a second and a half after the points are tallied for the match. Chun-Li is an easy one to do this with a half circle front to back plus heavy kick. If you time it right so that she is doing a perfect handstand you will get the necessary 10,000 points for the achievement. Make sure to use quicksaves for this one as it can be tricky.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes Achievements Guide
The Battle for Survival Begins!
Play Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.
- Start the game and complete a match.
I Wanna Take You for a Ride
Complete Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. (Continues OK)
- Simply beat the game and watch the credits.
Exit, Stage Left
Pull off a Snapback in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.
- This requires you knock an opponent out of the playfield to force them to call in one of their partners. Easy to do as long as you have at least 1 super bar. Just do a down, down-forward, forward motion + either the R-trigger or R-button (or your controllers equivalent) to perform the snapback.
Galactic Smasher
Pull off a Team Hyper Combo in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (consumes 3 Hyper Combo Gauges).
- Just so there’s no confusion this is not like the crossover combo that has all the characters out at once. Instead you need to do each characters hyper combo back to back in rapid succession so that each new one cancels out the previous.
Give ‘Em the Ol’ One-Two
Deal simultaneous damage to active and reserve characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.
- When your opponent calls in for an assist just make sure to land damage on them both.
The Punisher Achievements Guide
If You Want Peace, Prepare for War
Play The Punisher as Punisher.
- Start the game as the Punisher. This will unlock after you beat a stage.
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Play The Punisher as Nick Fury.
- Start the game as Nick Fury. To do this you will need to select player 2. Like with The Punisher you also need to beat a stage.
One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime
Complete The Punisher. (Continues OK)
- Beat the game. Simple enough.
Like Fish in a Barrel
Destroy 20 oil drums on the bonus stage in The Punisher.
- You’ll come across this section as you play through the game. It’s unskippable, so you won’t miss it. If you have issues destroying the drums you can also use the built in rewind feature which is only available for this title. If you missed this achievement earlier you can also just skip to this section with the stage select in the in game settings. It is titled as Bonus Stage.
Oh, Thank You!
Save Barbara from a jail cell in The Punisher.
- In the 2nd level you will see some cell doors. Just punch them. One of the prisoners will be Barbara. Just like the Bonus stage achievement above you can just skip to this level if you missed it the first time around.
Say Your Prayers!
Reach the top of the offline rankings in The Punisher.
- Just clear at least 1 million points and register your initials when the game is over. Easy enough to do since you’ll earn far more than just getting the game completion achievement.
General Compilation Achievements Guide
Heroes Never Give Up
In any game, use a continue for the first time.
- Pretty simple achievement. Just die in any of the games, and make sure to continue.
Jaunt Across the Universe
Play each game in the collection.
- Easy one to knock out. Just unlock the similar achievement for each game and this one unlocks after you’ve done it for all 7 titles.
Master of the Universe
Complete each game in the collection. (Continues OK)
- Just beat all of the titles at least once.
Monumental in the Multiverse
Complete each game in the collection with every character. (Continues OK)
- Beat every game with every character (including hidden characters). Sounds time consuming right? Well… Luckily team based games count every character in the team upon completion. So this will save some time with those specific titles. Also make sure to kill yourself at bosses and continue and set up a quicksave at the character select screen. Then just burn through the roster reloading quicksaves at those boss fights!
