Before you even think about trying to get the My Kung Fu Is Stronger achievement in 2009's Mortal Kombat, you need to ask yourself: do you have at least 648 hours to spare? Because if you don't have the ability to dedicate a full day of in-game time to each of the 27 fighters in the title, nabbing this trophy is only ever going to be a pipe dream.

Hell, even if you decided to cheese the system and leave your console idle for 27 days so the timer on each character ticked over, the other requirements for the achievement are still a huge pain to complete.

Not only does the game want hundreds of hours of your time, but in order to unlock the trophy, players have to win 100 matches, nail 100 fatalities, land 150 X-Ray moves and spill 10,000 pints of blood. With every. Single. Character.
