    A Focus Attack is an attack that allows you to absorb a single hit from your enemy, and immediately counter.

    A Focus Attack is done by pressing both the "B" & "Y" Buttons at the same time, if you hold them in your character will "Charge Up" before delivering the attack to your opponent. You can also do the move by quickly pressing the 2 buttons together, though the damage caused will obviously be less than holding them in.

    You can do this in Trial Mode as well as in Arcade, Online etc. I unlocked up whilst playing Trial Normal with Ryu, you can spam Dan with Focus Attacks to unlock the achievement.

    You DO NOT need to change your Button Config. from it's default settings to obtain this Achievement.

    *EDIT*
    Doing it in Training does NOT count towards the achievement.
    Thanks to Dom2096 for confirming that!

    Dom2096Can confirm that training does NOT work for focus. Did it in trial instead.

    EYEHUNTER 42I recommend doing this with Vega because of his claw's longer reach. Abel and such probably work well, too

    Easiest way is to configure pad that one button will be responsible for focus attack. Then just go to either training or versus player vs player and pres and charge that button 100 times. Can do it legit offline/online because its quite useful ability.
