How to unlock the The Grappler achievement

    Each character has two throws. Fwd+RB, and RB (while standing still).

    Just perform these using every characters in Arcade Ladder.

    The best way to get this is to set arcade ladder to beginner, one round. Go for it the same time as "fatalities with every character", "x-rays with every character" and "complete arcade ladder with every character" to save time - 4 achievements will pop when you are on your last runthrough.

    Complete story mode first though to unlock Quan-chi and Cyber Sub-Zero.

    I0I Paradox I0IDo you need to perform certain characters 'Air Throws' as well? Such as Sonya?

    Rebmob x360aDo the throws you do in story mode count towards the total completion of this achievement?

    SettlingCrib503I had a hard time going for this whilst doing the character towers as throws are not something I use in this game normally and since there is no way to keep track of which throws you have done I was stressing this achievement.

    Just wanted to point this out in case anyone is trying to get this achievement still though, I got this by doing tag team ladder starting from the top and making my way to the bottom with teams of two characters, Scorpion and Liu Kang, then Kung Lao and Sub-Zero, then Sindel and Ermac, etc. Once in the match, all you have to do is just do both throws for both characters then you can leave and do the next team.

    It is not necessary to finish the match or do this with Freddy, Rain, Kenshi, or Scarlet.

    For the record, I just wanted to add that if you didn't do this when you were running through the ladder with all the characters, you CAN do this in Versus mode with 2 controllers.

    The fastest way to go through everyone is load up Versus Two-On-Two (Tag), select 2 characters you need to complete on controller 1, and whoever on controller 2.

    At the loading screen, on controller 2 only, if you press X twice and Y twice it will make player 2 start at Quarter Health.
    In the match, do your neutral/back throw, and your forward throw, punch once (this will kill Player 2's first character), tag out, do your 2nd character's throws, and then finish player 2's 2nd character. Rinse and repeat till you have the achievement.

    Forward+RB, Backward+RB. Pretty simple. I would assume that you will need to complete story mode and unlock the last two fighters and do both of the throws with them as well.
