We begin on Panter Flauclaws's stage due to the fact it's easy to get the S-rank while getting the cyber elves. This level isn't really difficult per se, but there's a lot you need to keep an eye out for such as carry arms and the metal balls that come your way. Also obstructions will come in your way so it's best to time it once you see the lights, you have to jump over the final one. Panter is kinda tricky since he can be unpredictable at times with his attacks, but if you keep your cool (or have the Ice Chip) he shouldn't give you any difficulty. Lastly, you be noticing that I've been using the buster a lot for this level. That is because Zero 2 introduces the form mechanic, a new system Zero is rewarded after beating a boss when you kill enemies in a certain way. For example, if you kill at least 50 enemies with the buster gun, you'll get the X form, a form based on X's fighting style. Zero 2 also introduces Ex Skills that only are available if you fight a high level boss. To get an Ex Skill your Rank level must be at least an A-rank or an S-rank. You must keep the A or S-rank if you hope to get all the Ex skills. That's for all for now. https://store.playstation.com/#!/tid=...
