Victories - Score 100 victories

Finished - Execute 100+ fatalities

Internal Damage - Perform and land 150+ X-ray specials

Blood Spilled - Spill 10,000 or more pints of blood(of your enemies)

Devotion - Play a total of 24 hours with each fighter(displayed in days:hours:minutes form)

You can check the specific stats of each player by traveling to Nekropolis from the krypt. Choose the fighter you wish to know more about and select view stats. Your goal is to reach the milestone in each category; Victories, Finished, Internal Damage, Blood Spilled, and Devotion.

While the obvious(and seemingly most fun) way to master each fighter in MK9 is to play through the different modes with them, whether online or ladder matches, and sincerely master each one to a certain degree; There are also a few ways to speed up the process for you trophy/achievement hungry junkies out there. Just be ready to get a little bored.

Victories - The best way to build your victories up quickly is to play 2-player matches by yourself. Boring, I know, but you can rack up almost a victory a minute doing this.

Finished - To quickly increase the number of finishers you have executed just be sure to perform a finisher at the end of each lonely 2-player match mentioned above. Your victories and finishers will increase at an even rate.

Internal Damage - While playing a 2-player match by yourself, be sure to save your special bar until you've built up enough to perform an X-ray attack. If done correctly you will be able to perform 2 X-ray attacks per complete match.

Blood Spilled - While doing the above you will rack up blood spilled pints as well. Some moves are better than others for spilling the maximum amount of blood. The uppercut definitely ranks up there with the best of them. Weapons based moves also work well. You will most likely average around 100 pints per match won.

Devotion - This is probably the most annoying of all the stats. Playing for 24-hours with a player that you don't particularly care for can be a daunting task. Luckily, there's a way around it... sort of. Start a two player match with infinite timer and choose the two players you would like to boost. Then simply leave your console on and do something else. The devotion of each fighter will increase. Remember, the time is written in days:hours:minutes form so 00:00:15 means you've played with them for 15 minutes not 15 seconds.UPDATE: Credit to Ben(see below) for letting us know if you play a tag match instead of a two player match you get credit for both fighters. Cuts the entire process in half ladies and gents.
