I'm not particularly good at Bayonetta, but I just find some bread-and-butter combos that differ in function and memorize those (e.g. dash attack, launching attack, highest damaging combo...). Takes some time to remember even just that much, but learning is what makes Bayonetta so fun and what differentiates it from many other games.

Awesome how they have Hyrule Warriors music up on the eshop. When did they start changing eshop themes? That's awesome!
Same. Waiting for final game. I don't need the demo to sell me on it.
Check again...
Hmm, when is the last time you visited the eshop? They have been changing the music regularly now with big releases.

Wow. I've never really been a fan of Bayonetta. Played the original demo on the 360 but didn't care much for it.
Playing this demo however was amazing. So over the top and it's awesome.
I'm really considering getting this. Would I need to play the original to follow the story and characters?

They've been doing that for well over a year now.
They change the music to match holidays and game releases.

My impression of the demo:
*plays through* Yep, that was pretty damn awesome.
*only gets Bronze* Definitely going to need to git gud (too used to Wonderful 101)
I liked how they added that little tutorial at the beginning. Seems like a way of making up for 101's "throwing you into the fire with no help" demo.

You get both games with the physical purchase of 2 as it is.
It's probably better if you play 1 first but not needed.

Never played Bayonetta before but downloading the demo anyway.
Does it have tutorials on how to play?

As exciting as that sounds, I think I will skip the demo. I want my first Bayonetta 2 experience to be a long one, without interruption, on the full retail product.
Other than Vanquish, I don't enjoy Platinum's demos for some reason, even though I love the full games from which such demos are excerpted. I'm specifically referring to W101 and Bayo1 (Xbox 360 version).

How does one determine what the highest damaging combos are?
Well, nooot really, but the game comes with the first game anyways.
The game comes with Bayonetta 1 included, as you probably know.
I think Kamiya has recommended playing the 1st game to be up to date on the story, but IMHO, the story wasn't that great in the first game anyway.
Yea
One must experiment.
Yes there is a tutorial.

Platinum was right, the first boss of this game is basically the last boss in any other game.
After playing through it twice, thank you, thank you nintendo, this is all i ever wanted.
15 days.......

Thx based Nintendo.

Strings that end in Wicked Weaves (the moves where you see a big hand, foot, sword, etc.) usually do more damage. You can use the dodge offset system to keep a string going while dodging attacks. It's kind of tricky to explain but let's say you want to do PPPPP for the finisher at the end: At any point during the string if you must dodge an attack, just hold down the punch button and hit dodge while doing so. This essentially stores the previous inputs and allows you to continue the string from where you left off.
There's a lot of systems from Devil May Cry as well, so concepts like jump canceling, enemy step canceling, etc. are pretty relevant to this game as well.
So you're playing a P* action game, which you claim is basically just random button mashing, and you end up with the lowest medal in the game. Now how did that happen?

If you want to follow story then I would play the first. I watched enough of the JP streams to know that.
Yeah I'm really digging it. Holy smokes this demo is great

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Guys. I'm rusting. I only did Gold in Prologue ;_;
Yeah, the first major boss would be a great final boss in any other game. I was superexcited after that fight.
But then, the score recap reminded me this was just THE PROLOGUE OF THE GAME.

Dear lord, just make new accounts if you so desperately want to play the demo 500 times!
You must have a bad connection, I downloaded it in around 15 minutes O_O
