How to unlock the Arcade Champion achievement

    Fastest way to this achievement:

    - First of all, like noted below, you have to complete the Story Mode so you can unlock both Cyber Sub-Zero (chapter 13) and Quan Chi (after completing chapter 16).
    - Set the difficulty to Beginner and rounds to ONE.
    - Choose TAG LADDER and
    - Pick two fighters

    BOTH fighters count for this achievement, and thus you cut your time in half for this achievement. It takes roughly 5-6 minutes to get through the ladder on Beginner, and by getting TWO fighters through the ladder at a time, it really makes this less of a grind.

    After finishing the ladder with your tag team, it will then show the cut scene of the FIRST fighter you chose but don't worry. They will both register as having beat the arcade ladder (you can even check the Nekropolis to verify)

    You can also combine this achievement with:
    - "The Grappler" (Perform every fighter's forward and backwards throws)
    - "Robots Rule!" (Win Arcade Tag Ladder with robot Sektor and Cyrax)
    - "e-X-cellent!" (Successfully land every playable fighter's X-Ray attack)
    - "Tag, You're It!" (Perform and land a Tag Combo)
    - "Where's The Arcade?" (Complete Arcade Ladder with Any Fighter)

    KratosGodslayerComment on "You could add at the bottom that two more achievements can be combined with this, for getting all fatalities, and all babalities" babalities don't work unless the difficulty is set to medium

    WyldephangI wasn't sure if my tag ladder matches counted towards the achievement. Good to know that I haven't been wasting time. Thanks!

    Negative ZZYou're better off doing single ladders, as you can do fatalities, babalities, and stage fatalities while progressing through the ladder. Also it'll help towards My Kung Fu is Stronger.

    GnemlockGot a code for the online pass here. Free to a good home. I live in Australia so it doesn't work for me since its technically unavailable.

    xX jb0x XxYou can create an American, Canadian, whatever account to redeem your code, but looking at the time of your post, it's probably too late.

    StoogiemeisterYes the online pass code is linked to your console not your gamertag, also you should add to the solution description that if you cant finish the game with a character you suck as, put that character as the 2nd one in tag and select 1 that you've already done it with as the first to help you finish it.

    SanadaYou should do singles as it unlocks the costumes saving you money, though you have excess of that so if there are characters you struggle as they should be done in tag. It doesn't cut the time in half by any stretch as it's still 8 rounds before Shang Tsung and he along with the others have health adjusted for 2 fighters. Though it may feel less grindy progressing through the ladder fewer times it's the same number of fights except the ones I mentioned.

    DriZzT1987well. i tried singles first but tag is faster. with 30 second rounds it does not matter if shang tsung has more health. it took me 5-7 minutes in tag. thats nearly the same time for single...and why do you wanna save money? i have about 210 challenges left but got already my krypt achievement. and i am still at about 100k gold.

    the loading screens take too long so i prefer this method here.
