The “PvP versus” part in the description means you cant get this achievement playing with 2 controllers. You can get achievements playing in Versus Mode vs CPU, using Handicap Lv 5 to start with max Power Gauge and setting CPU with Handicap Lv1 to reduce their HP to 50%.

Revenge!

Punished 20 times (excl. PvP matches/training mode).

There is a difference between Punish and Counter hit:

– A punish refers to attacking an opponent who is recovering from performing a move. It is easier to “punish” whiffed (missed) attacks, as well as attacks that have long recovery time or attacks that are very minus on block.

– A counter hit or counter is a term for an attack that hits another player while they are in the process of performing an attack.

If you done correctly Punish, you will see a message in the bottom left. Above the Power Gauge.

Turning the Tables!

Performed 10 reversals(excl. PvP matches/training mode).

A reversal is a move (usually a special) that generates a certain advantageous situation when done in immediate reaction to an opponent’s attack. Sometimes a reversal is done at what the game considers the optimal time necessary to take advantage of either the move’s invincibility frames or general priority for the best possible outcome. The timing window for such moves is generally small. An easier way to think of this form of reversal is a special move that only deals damage if the opponent attempts to attack while it is active.

Gotcha!

Successfully executed 10 throws(excl. PvP matches/training mode).

Looks like its bugged right now. I did try on Versus and Story mode.
