So I beat Sean on my first attempt.
I’m also on my last life. His second form is a bitch, he knocked multiple lives off me in about a minute.

Beat Fajar without dying yesterday, and finished the Squats at age 24.

Have you tried holding the controller instead?...

Yes. It's not much improvement.

I made it to the museum sub-40 (but only barely and with a non-neglible death counter...).

I got a keycard pretty far into my first run through 2 that now lets me take the door on the right in the main room with the dance floor. No idea if there are any other, better short cuts than that. But I can get to the boss room in a few minutes that way.

If I remember right you get it in the area near the end that's burning, after one of the minibosses. Not sure exactly where but have a good look and it won't be hard to find.

I think you need a key for the little box, I haven't found that yet either. This is the fella you're looking for to drop it.

Took me up to the Club to really think about practicing first. Using the training dummy at your hideout is pretty neat, almost felt like you are practicing before putting yourself out there like any kung fu movie.

But yeah, I've learned that the sweep and palm strike has its uses beyond doing physical damage. My big issue is with crowd control and while parrying is important, you learn that palm strike knocks enemies pretty far back, sweep brings an enemy down to the ground, leaping over low obstacles is like an evade window and can split groups up. It's interesting.

Dodging high and low attacks feels like I need work, I know now that enemies have limited movesets do I can better expect whats to block but dodging the high and low still feels like a gamble. Moves come out too fast and arent telegraphed well. But if you can do it, it just feels so exciting.

Felt like I uploaded my best effort last night so felt compelled to share it as I had seen other attempts being shared that weren't half as good (unbiased opinion)

Obviously not if you haven’t found the shortcut key yet

So I googled it and your can't even get the code for that door until the next level.

Oops.

You should be able to waltz through the whole level now though, right?

Sean down on second attempt, didn't think he was actually that bad. Reckon I should be able to get him on the late 20's with that shortcut.

Getting a bit better now, getting out of the first level at around 30 but really should be much lower and I'm making silly errors. Think I've had 4 goes now, maybe 5.

Apparently you can stop the minions turning yellow and going psycho. It's linked to takedowns, if you just beat the shit out of them without using a finisher they won't do it. Also you can spot the ones that will do it as they have a faint aura.
