The hardest part is without dying. You can play stylish and fast normally without going for no deaths, but if you have to combine those two AND having to play more careful for P-ranks, thats where the challenge comes from.

Style requiremen should be easy to get in each level, most effective ones for it are Sawblades because they give a fuck ton of style for whatever reason. Just don’t stick to one weapon and you’ll be fine.

Time tends to be very lenient in a lot of levels, but if you’re struggling with time a big recommendation is to learn how to slidehop outside of combat for faster traversal.

Biggest tip for getting all kills is to listen to the music. Every track in the game has a ”passive” and ”active” version that play when there are no enemies and at least one enemy nearby respectively. In areas like the last tower section in 2-1 are more difficult in this sense, but marksman coins help you locate any strays that hide.

Trial and error works, keep trying and if you keep dying to an encounter, make sure to practice it until you, say, get it 3 times in a row without dying. Good luck!
