Hi-Fi RUSH – Rhythm Master S-Rank – Tracks 1 & 2 (Part 1)

PART 2: https://youtu.be/SEnlfMy9Xn0

This is my first playthrough of the Rhythm Master difficulty. The encounters don’t change between difficulties, just the enemy’s health and stun gauge, so the only real difference on Rhythm Master is that you’ll instantly die if your style meter drops to a D rank. This is really only a problem at the start of a fight, like if you get hit before doing anything, or have limited options and aren’t sure what to do. Otherwise it’s pretty easy to build up your style and keep it there.

I’m not necessarily trying to get S-ranks in every category for every fight, or doing them without taking damage. Just going for the overall S for the most part. You can actually still get an S-rank for the entire stage even if you die or get an A in some fights. It’s very generous. I believe getting an S on everything gives you a “special” S-rank though, with the little crown on it. So that’s what I’m going for.

I took way too long to start uploading this. That’s partly because I’m juggling so much right now, partly because I didn’t want to post anything until I was sure I’d be able to upload it all back to back, and partly because I’m just slacking.

I thought I’d do this a little differently, too. Rather than upload a video of each chapter and have 12 in total, I figured I’d put a bunch of them together (capped off by a major boss), and just have 3 or 4 videos. That seems better to me, but I’m not sure what most people prefer. Let me know in the comments!

I’ll do Wanted: Dead next (week?). I’ve been playing that lately and it’s a lot of fun.
