    Esse deveria ter a marcação de missable, quase platinando e só agora vi que tinha essa conquista.

    O que deu certo pra mim foi: Logo no começo da luta, dar dois pulos no meio da arena enquanto o Richter summona o Holy Circle e bater de mãos vazias na orb assim que ela aparecer, se der certo você consegue 3 hits consecutivos. Depois disso, é só abusar do High Jump em tempo contado, assim se burla o RNG bicheira do Richter. Se ele pular dando machadada, é só usar o High Jump rápido e ficar batendo na orb, com o DK ou o no soco mesmo, pra mim funcionou de ambas as formas. Aparentemente o achievement conta independente do hit dado no ar, pode ser soco ou chute.

    Daaaaaaamn that was hard as fk! I'm going to need some serious therapy after this. Best strategy for me was the AuntJemimom video embedded here. Start at a constant pace, then speed up the divekick near the right corner (needs a little luck thought). Also, practice on softcore first.

    What ended up working for me was to use DIAGONAL dives with timing, rather than STRAIGHT ones either with timing or spammed. Less random to actually hit the orb, more chance of hitting Richter if (when) you miss to continue the chain, less chance of him hitting you to end it.

    MustadioB's video shows probably the easiest method. You have to start the jump straight down on the right side of the orb. Hold the down arrow and mash (or turbo) jump as fast as you can. Oh and tap mist form just as the screen flashes white with his item crash, he likes to sneak in a few points of damage at the beginning which (pointlessly) invalidates the run.

    fucking ridiculous

    i got it within 10 minutes trying today, so that's nice i guess

    very difficult, could easily be worth 25 points

    Yeah, I DID THIS!! I have goosebumps. I don't know who will help, but I switched to the arrow keys on the keyboard, and the problems with random strafing disappeared.

    The game wasn't made to be played like this. The orb's hitbox is terrible, and every hit you take requires a reset—which, by itself, takes more time than the actual achievement mission. But the brilliant devs thought this would be fun and enjoyable.

    The site would have a lot more players if it weren't for achievements like this, which are nothing but a waste of time. This is one of the greatest classics among old games, yet in the six years since achievements were added, only 321 players have mastered it.

    A huge thanks to all the genius devs who create these amazing sets that definitely attract more players.

    dps de mt tempo consegui e vou falar a real

    0% skill
    0% fun
    100% mal planejamento pra achivement
    100% rng
    1000% dark determination

    eu só consegui pq eu lembrei do ippo do hajime no ippo e eu estava escutando a ost do bleach, após dizer isso, pior conquista do set inteiro, nn devia nem estar nesse set, devia ter algum tipo de sub set pra achivements assim, parece que isso só tá jogado no meio do jogo, enfim, boa sorte pra quem leu isso

    achievement horrível, puramente RNG, tem que contar que o richter não vai jogar machado senão já era.
    o pior achievement que já fiz nesse site.
    Sryth21 20 Mar 2025 21:13
    This is one of the worst cheevos I have had the pleasure of doing. The fact that this is only at 1.6% unlock rate (at the time of this post at least) speaks volumes at how stupid it is. Will never understand the clowns that defend crap like this.

    Been attempting this for the past 2 hours and I just wanna leave a hate comment along with the others for a little mental refresher. Too much RNG involved:
    1. if Richter throws an axe out at the start it's a 50/50 whether or not that'll hit you immediately.
    2. If the Orb goes off-screen (to the right) for too long, which it will most of the time, you'll have to hit Richter once or maybe even twice, which in my case will kill him and end the fight.
    3. If the Orb goes too far up, which is another common occurrence, same ^ situation as the prior point, you're forced to hit Richter again - if either of these two things with the Orb's movement happen in a fight, no matter how well you play or how well you perform, the fight is just over by RNG.
    4. You sometimes clip straight thru the orb. I'll be posting a video earlier with an especially egregious example so you know this isn't cope.

    Veeery dumb achievement.

    esperava coisa pior, mas levei uns 10 min pra conseguir essa, achei o conceito muito interessante esse jeito de derrotar o orb, não entendo o hate com essa conquista, o vídeo mostra uma estratégia realmente mais complicada, basta você conseguir se alinhar verticalmente com o orb e spammar dive kick até finalizar
