Wanted to get a good run that also showcased a weird thing you can do with the Proto/Scudo encounter at the end of the mission. Not 100% sure on the specifics of it, but it seems if enemies are launched and/or have their shield broken, V can apparently just instantly kill them regardless of their health. So if you use Ragtime's charged move that makes time slow for a while, it leaves them vulnerable to that for quite some time, and if V feels like going for it he can end up killing off like half of the enemy group right there. If he does that much it's obviously an immense time shave and saves several minutes. This isn't a reliable strat and V can end up doing nothing during that time frame, so don't count on it happening every time if you try to use it.
Anyways this mission wasn't that bad. Ended up getting a clear on the second or third crack at it, but then took additional time to get a run that's more well executed and generally better looking. There's still plenty of problems in this but I'm mostly happy with it. Almost done with Nero's missions by this point. All that remains are missions 8, 13, and 15, and the latter two don't seem that problematic. Hopefully I can eventually complete 'em all.
