Any tips for Rhythm Master?

I just finished very hard S-rank, any tips before i start?

Play like you usually would, don't get hit because that knocks down your ranking since D-Rank is instant death. As long as you're able to keep up your combos you should be fine. The Combo Holder and Rhythm Meter Rush chips might prove useful in this mode, but are not necessary. Korsica and Peppermint assists are good ways to extend a combo if enemies are too far away.

Do pretty much the same thing you did in Very Hard, except this time try not to drop to a low C rank. Quit to the hideout if you're getting hit and have dropped to a low C, since D is a game over.

As long you increase your rank pretty quickly at the start of battle you can just play the same way you did to get S-ranks on Very Hard mode.

For chips I used:
Level 1 Damage Rebound D-Parry
Level 2 Rhythm Meter Rush
Level 2 Battery Magnet

But I'm sure you have your own chip setup you're comfortable with. Use Hibiki and Pick Me Up. S-ranks should come easily if you did them on Very Hard mode. Just need to worry about not dropping to a D-rank early in battle.

i did the first level S rank no problem, bit worried about the rail kart level

the only track I had issues with was Track 8, because the last Chorus with the electric floors and flying enemies was really annoying. as long as you can avoid dropping to D rank when the battle starts, it's basically the same as Very Hard. although Kale and Mimosa have a lot of HP.

Here's some ACTUAL advice:
Actions, even if they don't do anything like attacks not hitting enemies, if timed correctly, will STILL add to your meter. Whenever enemies aren't present, do your dashes, and combos so your meter doesn't drop.

You're gonna need it in the Rekka fight, the monorail and other fights where you need to wait before attacking.
