DMC5: DMD Mission 8 S Rank, No Damage

Got this a lot sooner than I expected. Having cleared this, all of Nero's missions are done now. This was easily the toughest one, mainly due to the Urizen fight at the end. It goes on for quite some time on DMD, and some of his attacks can be kinda tricky to avoid. Shoutout to evf02d for the double Showdown/Ragtime into Buster Arm strat that's used after the first crystal break.
The overall mission itself isn't that hard, but still tougher than others since there's just more encounters which means more chances to fuck up and get hit. If you're going for true S rank, you'll likely want to take out the Hell Caina group at the start of the mission. If you group them correctly and start attacking at S Rank (use special provocation or ground grab with Tomboy and DT activated for instant S) you can typically walk into the next battle with 6300+ points. Useful since the first required fight has few enemies and can hurt your rank a bit, 6300+ points with decent play can preserve 6k points for that portion of the mission.
With this outta the way, I'll likely focus on V's remaining missions next. I might attempt to knock out a Dante mission or two along the way, but won't seriously get into playing him until V's missions are wrapped up.

Beating Urizen 2nd form in this stage is super long and tedious, glad Capcom decided not to put it as an achievement.

[@mr_scrupulous]

Not harder than beat all missions on S-Rank on all difficulties, that achievement suck and shouldn't exist, or 0.5x penalty for taking damage on HaH shouldn't exist, this is so unfair

[@creolur]

@@mr_scrupulous yeah, nonetheless, beatin all Dante's missions with S-rank is cheese-able though, thanks to the overpowered Faust, lol. Beating S-rank with V is crazy hard though, I hate that guy wholeheartedly.

This is honestly one of the most impressive vids I've seen, damn dude!

[@Xetnevs]

Nice! evf02d's strat on Urizen helped me too. Was able to dodge all the optional fights in return for more dancing though. I don't think I could have handled this mission otherwise. Also killing the tentacles (like at 5:25) seems to help raise style? An XLHGladiator vid showed me that. Boosted my style from 6725 to 7000.

[@g-s0ul758]

Thanks! Yeah, I forgot about killing the tentacles, probably could've helped a bit. Great job and congrats on finishing your run by the way, getting perfect S in some missions can be tough, especially since there probably weren't that many strats developed for some missions yet.

[@Xetnevs]

Thanks man, sure was. I'm hoping to see less janky strats in the future. Doesn't feel right with all the dance taunting I did haha.

[@cqare9684]

Holy fucking shit.

[@vgrzn]

Are you parrying urizen’s fireballs? How?

[@suzakusekinetsu4758]

Gerbera does it handily, the player here goes big balls on it and flips right into it

[@trophyhunter9138]

How do you do this dance music

Ex-provocation, with the price of 3 million red orbs
