    There are about 9 melee moves that you need to perform for this achievement, but it's a little buggy. Currently it is undetermined whether or not you HAVE to perform them all on an actual enemy or not. I did them each while standing in my prison cell and still got the achievement but others haven't been so lucky. The one that seems to be the hardest to pull off is the Up Shove, as the enemy AI almost always Spikes you in the head when they are above you.

    I tested various methods on secondary and tertiary accounts with combinations of arena versus AI and versus a second controller and was able to unlock the achievement both ways but had no luck with unlocking the achievement while in my prison cell like on my main account. If you're having trouble unlocking this achievement, try all of these methods in combination and hopefully you won't have any problems.

    The moves needed are...

    Spike: A then X
    Shove: X
    Slide Kick: Forward + X
    Low Kick: Down + X
    Up Shove: Up + X under airborne enemy
    Punch: B while close to enemy
    Weapon Hit: B while enemy is just out of reach
    Uppercut: Down + B
    Judo Throw: Hold Right Trigger while partner or enemy approaches

    These moves are not needed for the achievement, but could come in handy...

    Jump: A
    Double Jump: A then A again
    Weapon: B
    Suicide: Hold Y
    Cry For Help: Hold Left Trigger
    Grab & Climb: Hold Right Trigger
    Judo Throw: Hold Right Trigger while partner or enemy approaches
    Help Up: Hold Right Trigger near ledge while partner jumps up to you

    UltimationerI would like to confirm that low kick is one of them that is glitched. I did it multiple times until finally it registered so if it still hasn't popped and is only one in stats that show zero just keep doing low kicks until it pops. That's how I got it.

    nightw0lfI also had to get Clunked (use weapon while in the air - A, then B) and Flying Smash (leap at the enemy from a distance, then X to smash). The smash is what finally popped it for me.

    YaziteAfter doing all the moves in this list multiple times, I didn't have the achievement. I then went into local arena with the disc weapon. The first time I used my disc on the AI the achievement popped!

    The moves are based on the (X) and (B) buttons.
    This is a list of all the moves I tried to unlock this:

    Down, Left, X
    Down, Right, X
    Run Left, X
    Run Right, X
    Up, X (only works near enemies)
    Jump, X
    Jump, use weapon (credit to x Jameoooooooo)
    Grapple RT, X

    Repeat, replacing X with B to guarantee you get all moves (you may not need all moves to unlock achievement).

    Please let me know if this does not work, or I am missing moves!

    The BartlezAdded the grapple RT, then X. That would be my best guess... Unfortunately I do not have access to my Xbox this week, which makes it a bit harder to test moves roll

    The 8bucks50Thanks, The Bartlez! That is something that I definitely didn't even think of trying so I'm thinking that must be it... I'll report back here after I get a chance to play the game again. Regardless of if it works, thanks for the tip.

    The 8bucks50Yep, you're a genius. The grapple (RT + X) is what popped it for me. That's a hard melee to land but I was able to do it relatively quickly.
