(*): This is an "That One Achievement" on TvTropes. Here's what it says under that trope.
*Just in Time. You have to beat Demonking while he's using his Finishing Move. This can take some luck on his attack animation, and some trial and error knowing when he'll start on his animation.
*One-Man Army. You have to clear the Boss Rush without losing a life. God help you if you lose a life by Robo-Atomblade's suicide attack.
*Prepare to Die, Not. You have to clear the damage score attack. Also, the enemies gain damage buffs, and on the last challenges they can drain half of the player's health with a special, and some of them can hit the player. Have fun.
*Dark Fighter. This requires you to wait until all titans are summoned and then fight them. You are given very little room to fight and block their attacks. Have fun.
*Pit Fighter. You have to gain victory in Cruel Mode. Good luck practicing your blocking and dodging skills so you can have enough HP for the next opponent.
*Dodgy Fighter. You have to defeat one opponent where you only can be hit three times.
*Inhibited Fighter. You have to defeat one opponent with special moves disabled. Only button mashing. Not only that, blocking is disabled but none of that applies to the opponent. It makes this a luck-based mission because the opponent uses special attacks whenever he chooses to. Have fun.

==Trivia==
*Glaciann's attack where she summons spikes is based on Polar Knight's one-hit kill attack in Shovel Knight, except since this is a fighting game it can chop off her and her opponent's HP by half of a full bar. Can one hit players for the hardcore version of this attack?
*On the Boss Rush, if a player were to defeat Robo-Atomblade and get defeated by his suicide attack, the player would still win but would also lose a life. This is to prevent Robo-Atomblade from becoming overpowered compared to the other SNK Bosses in the Boss Rush.
*On TVTropes, it was the first game to be on the Nintendo Hard Trope page for Fighting Games. On its main page, it says "It's the Dark Souls of Fighting Games, what did you expect?"
