Introduction
Let me start off first by saying I hope you enjoy this guide. I've wracked my brain to make sure I've made this your one-stop spot for everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
For fans of the Mortal Kombat series, beware that the most difficult part of this game are, hands down, the Kombo Challenge achievements for each individual character. The combos are glitchier and harder to perform than in past games, making them incredibly time consuming and frusterating. But I have included a few tips and tricks to hopefully make them easier.
The only other thing that might be annoying are the amount of playthroughs you have to go through. An arcade playthrough for each individual character as well as a playthrough for each side of Story Mode.
With these things being said, bring your patience, back up controller, and get ready to Finish Him!

Arcade Master - 20G
Beat Arcade Max without using a continue

You must beat Arcade Mode on "Very Hard" without dying. So go into the Options menu and set the Game Difficulty to Very Hard, Round Time to 30 seconds, and the Number of Rounds to 1.
The best strategy is to either use Green Lantern and constantly use his Back, Back, A move (it's a long, green hammer). This also knocks the enemy back even if they are blocking. Or use Superman and his Back, Back, X move (heatvision) since it's another effective long ranged attack.
Save your rage until you absolutely need it, and it's best used to knock an opponent off of you if they're beating you down with a big combo or have you backed into a corner.

Combo Champion - 20G
Perform a 10-hit combo in Arcade Mode

Easier than it sounds. Select The Flash and go into a match, get close to your opponent and hit Back, Forward, Y. He will perform an 11-hit combo.

You'll know you performed it correctly by a small chime sound and the game will go ahead and push you into the next combo. Don't forget to look for the glimmer of light above your character's head during during the "slight pause" to know when to time it exactly.

Online Mode


Humiliation! - 20G
Get a Flawless Victory Online

Beat someone in any online mode without getting hit. The easiest way is obviously to boost by inviting a friend to a private game and getting them to let you beat them while they sit idle.


Less Talk, More Fight! - 20G
Win a Chat Room Match Online

Challange someone or be challanged in the Chat Room and win. Difficulty all depends on your skill level.


Relentless! - 100G
Play 100 Chat Lobby Matches Online

Just play 100 Chat Lobby matches, you do not have to win these for them to count. However, disconnects do not count towards this achievement. In a Chat Room, press X on your name to see your stats for your wins and losses.


Challenger! - 10G
Play 10 Ranked Matches Online

Play 10 Ranked Matches. You do not have to win. Disconnects do not count for this achievement.


Online Champion - 50G
Win 25 Ranked Matches in a row

Just like it says... win 25 Ranked Matches in a row. Again, disconnects do not count towards this achievement and will also cancel your streak. Example: You've won 20 matches and on match 21 the opponent disconnects, you have to restart from 1. Your skill level will determine how easy or hard this achievement will be, there's not really much to do to cheat around it.

Miscellaneous

The Pugilist - 25G
Perform Klose Kombat

Go into a match and press RB when you're close to an opponent. You'll do a grab and the camera will zoom in. Press any attack button to perform a move.


Free Fallin' - 25G
Perform a Free-Fall Transition

When close to a ledge, hit your opponent a few times and this should send them falling off the ledge and into Free Fall mode.


Fatality! - 10G
Do anyone’s Fatality

After you win any match, the announcer will say "Finish Him!" and at this point you have 5 seconds to input a button combo to do a Fatality. Only MK characters and DC Villians can perform Fatalities.
The easiest to pull off is The Joker's Forward, Back, Forward, X.


Heroic Brutality! - 10G
Do anyone’s Heroic Brutality

Only DC Heros can perform Heroic Brutalities. These are done the same way as Fatalities. The easiest to pull off is The Flash's Back, Back, Forward, Forward, B.


The Finisher - 100G
Perform all finishing moves in the game

I would recommend, to save time, to do these next two achievements together.
You must perform all Fatalities and Heroic Brutalities. Each character has 2 finishing moves. If you're having problems with a combination, try switching between the d-pad and joystick.
First, set the Round Time to 30 seconds and the Number of Rounds to 1. Set up a versus match with a secondary controller and either wait for it to time out or just Klose Kombat your opponent until they're dead. Then perform the finishers.

Note: If you're having problems try using the analog stick for "Ups" instead of the d-pad which will make you jump.
Legend: D= Down Bk= Back U= Up F= Forward. A, B, X, Y are standard buttons.

The Competitor - 20G
Play 200 Versus Matches

This must be done with a second controller, offline, in versus mode. I recommend doing it with The Finisher achievement so you can get through both of them faster. If you don't have a second controller, a Guitar Hero controller will even work, that's what I use.
