Sekiro Completion

After taking a roundabout 4 year break, i finally got around to finishing the game. I was stuck in my first severance playthrough on Demon of Hatred and Isshin Sword Saint. I think the first clears of those were my biggest blockers, also having to relearn some old bosses took a while. I must have been around 30 to 40 hours when I started again.

Additionally I have completed NG+7, seeing as attack power drops off at certain parts these new playthroughs didn't feel all that different (minus the first three ones for the endings).

Far from being done with the game, currently stuck on both Inner Genichiro and Inner Father for the gauntlets. Both have been absolutely amazing fights so far.

Edit: Got the Divine Heir Gauntlet done since posting this 40 minutes ago, but definitely got lucky on Genichiro.

I've been doing what I think is a 0% run and was wondering if there's some misunderstanding on my side. Been picking up progression related abilities such as the green and red counter. As what level does it qualify?

Some people write that level 0 is no skills including progression skills. Does that mean they save file edit to remove double jump, unbound counter from the save for the boss fight only? Basically what counts as Level 0 or Level 1 for purpose of challenge runs.
