How do I, in a broad sense, get good at Ninja Gaiden 2? I know various methods and their properties but when it comes to employing them right I screw up, so I'm actually dying just one chapter 1 on MN. I know there are things you can do like hanging back and waiting for enemies to come by, but if I'm playing on MN, why do that? The point is getting into the action so that's what I aim to do. I know it's possible because I did it in this video, but I really did that as smoothely as I did by accident. Any tips?

I didn't know you could on landing UT after this. Not sure what the timing is, did it by accident.
