Summary:
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is an expansion of the original, instead of releasing it as a Retail like the original was, it was released to XBLA and PSN/SEN, it adds new characters, and a few new modes, however, we aren't looking at much of a difference here, it is really easy and fast to complete though, it is nothing like the original in that sense, so here is a guide to help you with this game.

Tutorial

Student Student
Play any training session in Tutorial Mode

Go into Dojo from Main Menu then select Tutorial, you will just have to complete the first tutorial, which is simple enough as it is just dashing.


Arcade

Excellent Excellent
Win a round without taking any damage in Arcade Mode (any difficulty level)

When you select Arcade Mode, you will be able to select a difficulty, to make this easier, set the difficulty to Very Easy.
For the first fight I kept using the P > P > P ( :y: > :y: > :y: ) combo, the CPU hardly tries to fight back, so it is easily possibly to do by spamming this basic move, you’ll know you’ve done it as at the end it will say “Excellent” and this achievement will unlock.

You Win You Win
Win a match in Arcade Mode without losing a round (any difficulty level)

When you select Arcade Mode, you will be able to select a difficulty, to make this easier, set the difficulty to Very Easy, you will also be able to select number of rounds, if you choose one round, this will unlock once you beat that round and finish the match.

Ring Out Ring Out
Win a round by knocking your opponent out of the ring in Arcade Mode (any difficulty level)

Some stages will be easier to do this on than others, there is some that are completely closed in, so they are impossible to do this in, then there is some with fences, which if you knock the opponent over, they will ring out, and then there is some without any barriers, Shun Di’s stage which is a raft floating on water is especially easy to do this on, on Very Easy difficulty, you should be able to get the opponent over to the edge reasonably fast as the CPU hardly attempts to fight back.

VS Dural VS Dural
Face off against Dural in Arcade Mode (any difficulty level)

Dural is the last opponent in Arcade Mode, you will unlock this achievement once the fight starts.


Score Attack

Score Attacker Score Attacker
Play Score Attack Mode

This will unlock once Stage 1 in Score Attack Mode starts, you do not need to complete the mode.

5 Hit Combo 5 Hit Combo
Perform a five-hit combo in Score Attack Mode

I used El Blaze for this, what you have to do is a juggle attack, I spammed his P + K ( :y: + :b: ) attack until I eventually got it to reach a 7 hit combo.


License Challenge

Test Complete Test Complete
Complete a test in License Challenge Mode

See Ten Tests Complete for more information.

Five Tests Complete Five Tests Complete
Complete five tests in License Challenge Mode

See Ten Tests Complete for more information.

Ten Tests Complete Ten Tests Complete
Complete ten tests in License Challenge Mode

License Challenge Mode is a challenge mode, it requires you to go through, mostly, five fights, three of them requiring you to do whatever it has set for you, if you are defeated during any of these five fights, you will have to restart that entire test, you unlock a new test each time you complete one.

  1. Striking Test 1
    This is simple as all it requires you to do is land so many attacks, which you would be doing anyways, so this one is easy, to attack press P or K ( :y: or :b: ).
  2. Guarding Test 1
    This is for guarding the amount of times it asks you to, to guard, hold or press G ( :x: ).
  3. Defensive Move Test 1
    This is easy enough, may be based off luck, but you will have to fight the opponent and make sure they do not evade your attack more than the amount of times it limits you to, but it isn’t that hard, if anything it is more luck than skill.
  4. Offensive Move Test 1
    To do an Offensive Move, first do a Defensive Move (tap or ) then during that move, press G + P + K ( :x: + :y: + :b: ) to do the Offensive Move, it only requires you to do this once whenever you do need to do it.
  5. Health Bar Test 1
    This is easy enough, sometimes you will enter a fight where your opponent has more health than you, but their difficulty level is just the same, it will just take longer to defeat them.
  6. Combo Test 1
    Again, this is easy, really easy as it only requires you to do a 2 hit combo at most, which comes with mostly any character’s P > P > P ( :y: > :y: > :y: ) attacks.
  7. Throwing Test 1
    To do a throw, press G + P ( :x: + :y: ), you only need to do this once when you do need to do a throw, so just try to get the throw done first before anything.
  8. Special Rules Test 1
    I’m not exactly sure what was going on here, but from what I seen, combos lasted longer than they normally did, so this was easy enough.
  9. Special Moves Test 1
    This is probably the hardest one to do, I used Jacky and used his P + K ( :y: + :b: ) against Vanessa, who is the only opponent you will fight in this that does parries, you fight her three times, if you use the attack I detailed, it is a lot harder for her to parry so you should be able to do this easy enough using that method.
  10. Win Streak Test 1
    You have to go on a win streak of six for this challenge, it is nothing too difficult, these are all normal matches, with no special requirements, each match is best out of three rounds.

Once you complete all ten of these tests, you will unlock the achievement.
