As for beating without getting hit, that isn't going to happen (unless you can reload checkpoints - can you?) Either way, I'm not going to get all of the achievements in this game, I don't have the patience. It's a ton of fun though and I will probably play through it again sometime.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='GUNNM']Yes but if you die sometimes a checkpoint will activate meaning you have to start over but you only have to worry about dying in one hit in revangnanvndnecence mode.[/QUOTE]
I think I would have thought the game was trash if I had played on normal first.
I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that my ranking in Normal is terrible because I used it to clean up the collectibles and stuff and was overpowered in NG+... so it was a little fun because I was looking for collectibles and saving the hostages and stuff... but I can't even imagine it being my first experience with the game.
Uraizen said he didn't die once until the last boss, I think, when he did his initial playthrough on normal.
And yeah, if you die, you're

ed, you have to start a chapter over, but most cases if you're going for the s-rank shit, you need no damage, so you can just restart a fight as soon as something hits you.
I'm still not sure which way I want to handle the s-rank of fight 2 in r-04. Any suggestions for getting S while taking damage? Just make sure to kill everything, zandatsu everything, collect the BP in the cases, and get a high combo?
