got some tips for get high ranks?

its kinda difficult get S ranks to this game... have you some tips?
i don't have

high ranks? it depends on which Zero game you're playing. but here's what I know

Zero 1 - I really don't have tips on this but all I can say is, "Practice makes Perfect". meaning keep on dying until you don't get hit.
Zero 2 - any fav forms u like? then use that form for every stage (well not every, just almost every), keep the Elf usage low. again, practice makes perfect!
Zero 3 - the Recoil rod works wonders here. abuse Fusion elves as they don't reduce your rank!
Zero 4 - make your "R" button "Switch Weapon". I dunno why, but I like that. when confronted with lasers (like Weil and Craft's), use the right timing and Dash under the lasers. I think this sounded more like a tip than a high rank guide

well, if you have any questions, you can always ask for help here!

well i have one... how i get the forms in Zero 2? i get the forms but i don't know why...

from what I know, you can get forms by doing certain stuff in a mission (ex. like killing 20 enemies with a dashing slash)

here's the form criteria (note, you can only get 1 form PER STAGE, and you can't repeat a stage to get another form!):

Active Form - kill 20 enemies with a dashing slash. Active Form can make you do a Rolling Slash that can hit enemies multiple times.
Defense Form - kill 20 enemies with a charged Shield Boomerang. Defense Form boosts your defense rating ALOT.
Energy Form - obtain 25 HP capsules in a stage. Energy Form just makes capsules appear more frequently.
Erase Form - reflect 30 shots with the Shield Boomerang (the reflected shot has to hit though). The name sounds cool, but this form only lets you "Erase" normal enemy shots (hit the enemy shot with a saber, the shot dissapears)
Power Form - pull 30 things with your Chain Rod. Power Form raises your Attack rating ALOT, downside is you can only use the "final slash" in the Saber's 3-hit combo.
Rise Form - kill 20 enemies with a jump slash. Hold the "Up" button while doing the 3-hit combo so the 3rd slash is a Rising Slash that hits enemies both above and below.
X Form - kill 50 enemies with your buster. X Form makes your buster fire faster and hits stronger (hence its name).
Proto Form - complete the game once. Proto Form has high attack but very low defense.
Ultimate Form - ?????????????????

lol

Maybe speedrunning levels help getting high status, while killing some enemies in the way, and not getting hit

Yeah, many Zero high level play is attained thru speed runs. Well, here are some from mine:
1. Memorise enemy positions.
2. Only do air attacks.
3. Always do dash jumps (not air dash, but ground dash, then you jump)

If you have trouble memorising enemies, ignore it. You can speed run with only 2 & 3.

Why not one?

Shuryou: You must be joking. There's no 4...

Kevassa: well, you can do speed run without memorising enemies. If you do only 2 & 3, you'll eventually end up memorising enemies too. But if you're thinker type, you can memorise directly.. I'm too lazy to memorise eemies though, so I did 2 & 3 then I ended up memorising them.

Uh what you mean "there is no 4" What about MMZ4 o.o

oh talking about MMZ4 you alredy know how to open the door in Wolfgang Blizzard mission?
if not i think this can work: will the enemy that is holding a card with the Z-knuckle and then use that in the door! oh and if you don't like that annoing efs you can shoo them away with a lamp (Z-knuckle again) its fun to see they run!
