    This achievement is misleading. You must cancel a critical counter from the other opponent in vs. or online. This is best done with a light punch or light kick (crouching light kicks worked best for me) in versus with a second controller.

    In versus, use a second controller and use that second character to damage your 1st character until the green gauge below their life bar is full (the critical counter gauge). When the critical counter gauge is full, use the button the initiates the critical counter (for most characters it is hard punch, but for others, i.e. Kim, it's hard kick) - you'll know as it second character will have a glowing punch or kick after the gauge is full and slowly draining.

    When you initiate the critical counter with your second character, immediately hit light punch/kick with your 1st character to cancel/prevent the critical counter from occurring. Repeat 10 times and this should unlock.

    Pukey UKFound both of the above comments quite hard to understand if I'm honest.

    Basically once player 1 has a full critical counter gauge.... they press Y, then player 2 straight away hits light punch/kick, this will initiate a critical counter and will crumple player 2.

    Player 1 then has to mash light punch/kick so they get a combo of 5 hits or more.

    LausDominiTo simplify this further:

    In local versus, select a 1 vs. 1 match with both controllers as Iori. Have both players stand next to each other and both controllers constantly spam the Y button. That's it. You will get the achievement after 5-10 matches.

    What happens when both Iori's spam Y:
    1) Player 1's green bar fills up (especially when punched by player 2)
    2) Player 1 activates the critical counter gauge
    3) Player 2 attacks player 1
    4) Player 1 cancels the attack and does an 8 or 9 combo

    The reverse is true as well. Player 2 will also do critical counters against player 1 but oh well you will still get 1 or 2 for player 1 per match.

    I found both solutions a bit complex so I'll explain my means of getting this...

    My profile was moved down in the controller two position, so when I had the Y button on turbo it would automatically pick Iori. With my actual dummy controller, I would pick Iori manually and start up the fight. Tapping at my profile (controller 2) I would fill the green bar located below my own health. Once this happened I would swing a heavy punch using Y on the secondary so the other controller initiated it's counter. With the turbo it would rapidly hit my alternate, netting enough hits to make the counter count towards the achievement. You can get a couple per round if you watch both controllers health and time it correctly. Do this ten times over a few rounds and you'll have this achievement and some good progress to your counters!

    This achievement is very tricky but i think it would be better if you try to get this achievement online.

    to do this you have to get your critical counter gauge full(you'll know when your health bar starts probing green).

    then from close range counter opponent with the Y button
    or B button then execute a combo.

    just take your time and you'll get it. GOOD LUCK :P
