Metal Gear Rising - Bosses [Revengeance, S Rank, No Damage, +DLC]

Now I hate the fact that the PC release alone got an option to skip right to the Boss fights of a chapter... primarily because of the second phase of Armstrongs fight in the base game. Would you believe it took me about 4 hours of repeating the last level to try and S Rank that fight because of the single checkpoint if you take damage that progresses the fight?

Anyway, every fight up until the Body Doubles is my first time playing this game properly in about 4 years. That combined with a little self imposed rule I do in general which means I don't use Ripper Mode before Chapter 4 left me feeling a little rusty. After a 2 week break I finished them off like no tomorrow except for Khamsin. Between Khamsin ND S Rank and simply beating the Metal Gear RAY's on EExtreme in MGS2... he's even worse because of how few frames you have to react to. Five hours it took me to zone myself into the mind of a machine that could beat him.

FIVE!!! HOURS!!!
