Ranks start at D (Destructive) and go to C (Chaotic), B (Brutal), A (Anarchic), S (Supreme), SS (SSadistic), SSS (SSShitstorm), and cap out at ULTRAKILL rank. Doing actions while in the air or sliding adds a passive point multiplier, while taking damage slightly decreases the meter. Awesomeness Meter: Combat is judged by the usual Stylish Action style meter that increases as V1 slaughters enemies, increasing its rank further for doing so in unique, skillful ways (such as headshots, multi-kills, environmental kills, and weapon swapping).Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Corpse of King Minos, boss of 2-4, is so massive that just one of his hands is several times larger than V1 and the next few levels are inside of it.The Corpse of King Minos can be hit anywhere, but his eyes take the most damage, along with the parasitic worms that pop out of his eye sockets.The Mindflayer's weakpoints are the machine's head and the two protrusions on the back, and attacking the tentacles counts as limb damage.The tail is also a good weak point, as long as your aiming is good.
The Hideous Mass enemy is almost immune to damage on its many, many faces, but takes full damage if its exposed flesh is struck.Street Cleaners die instantly if you aim for the flamethrower tank behind their back.As for the other enemies, you have to aim for something other than their head. Attack Its Weakpoint: Except for certain enemies, such as Drones and Something Wicked (who doesn't need one to be killed instantly anyways), just about every single enemy and boss has a weak spot, and since a majority of them are humanoid, the head is the obvious answer.This were originally bugs but have since been official features, with parrying your shotgun being called a "Projectile Boost". Ascended Glitch: You can parry your own shotgun bullets if you time it right and there's a glitch called "slam storage" that allows you to gain insane height.Armless Biped: The Filth are green humanoid Husks that lack arms and eyes.Apocalypse How: We don't know what happened exactly (yet) but mankind is dead and their souls are now in Hell.The Anti-Nihilist: The unseen character in the secret dating game level rejects the idea that nothing matters, and counters Mirage's viewpoint with a speech on how the lack of inherent meaning to existence allows one to come up with whatever meaning they want.But for the rematch against V2 in 4-4, the game gives you a checkpoint upon defeating the first phase, so you don't have to start from scratch if you die during the shorter, slightly easier second phase. Anti-Frustration Features: Usually when facing a boss, you have to defeat it in one go, with any deaths sending you back to the beginning of the fight.He also summons a large etheral snake as a deadly homing projectile). Animal Motif: As a reference to his original Dante's Inferno counterpart (who's a serpentine monster), King Minos has a snake motif, which can be seen through his corpse (the parasitic worms controlling his corpse are described as serpentine), and through his Prime Soul (each of his arms are coiled by a snake, and he uses them to enhance his attacks.They range from relatively mundane (a piercing Charge Attack on the revolver or a grenade launcher-esque explosive projectile for the shotgun) to more creative and stylish (like the revolver's coin shot or the nailgun's magnet traps). Alternate Fire: All weapons so far except the railcannon (which just zooms in the camera) have one.With how fast-paced Ultrakill's combat is, this relegates its role to dealing a one-time hefty blow to certain enemies or as a panic button. Alpha Strike: The Railcannon does significant damage, but it's limited by a 16 second reload.
