Hey guys, I have been trying this achievement for hours until I tried out this method and it allowed me to pretty much perfect everyone apart from the 2nd fight.

My setup:
Character: Hilde
Route: Asia
Difficulty: Hard (obviously)

The method only requires you to do one move during the fight, so here we go.
As the match starts run backwards or in whichever direction to get yourself to the edge of the arena. Now the enemy will try and catch up and hit you, at this point you want to use Down+Right+X (Hold). This move will create a guard impact for a split second, blocking the attacker and flinging them over causing a ring out.

The reason I said this won't work in the 2nd fight is due to the arena having no ring out function. In this case you want to use the moves you know best and just KO normally.

The reason I find this method better is due to the fact that the computer on hard likes duck or grapple break you.

Hopefully this helps you guys as much as it helped me.
FailedSeppuku I cant seem to nail the move properly, sometime Hilde just slashes with her sword and doesn't flip them. If i hold X then she charges the move and Asia has too many fast characters for charging moves. Do i hit X then hit and hold another X?

BadgerBomber Right ok, I see what your saying.
When you do the attack you'll notice Hilde's hands turn green, this indicates that Hilde can perform a free gaurd impact with out having to use a brave edge/ critical edge point. So as you perform the attack if the oppenent hits you when your hands have just turned green, you'll perform the guard impact, perform the slash and throw over.

Hopefully that clarifies that for you. =)

Trickster91420 The way i beat this was the same way as the brave edge achievement. Pick Asteroth and just grab and repeat till the last round. the when you have them half way then use brave edge twice. And bam. victory. Doesn't always work but only took me 16 minutes to complete. Good luck.

Irkenkats I found it easier with Leixia's Heaven and earth kick (Right, B, B). Followed by a throw attack (since the opponent is usually staggered), that in this mode, works really well.

PeaceSquid This is by far the best solution. I spent an hour trying to beat this mode with Astaroth. I could never get that 3rd win on the final stage.

With this solution, and the link Emeryamerizone pasted up, I got this achv in about 15 minutes.
