Not really understanding how to 5-star consistently.
Hey everyone! 10/10 game, but it really does a shitty job of explaining the star mechanics right now. I'm trying to 5 star enough challenges to unlock the outfits (and eventually 5 star the actual levels), but despite my best efforts, I often fall short, even if I mix up my attacks and taunt dance after every finisher.
For example, I'm trying to 5 star Desert Gamer, which seems to be a measly 30k to 5-star (I only assume, since the game doesn't tell you the benchmarks), and I'm finishing at about 29k with no real margin of where I could improve, especially since I'm not getting hit once. Meanwhile I see people with 600k on the leaderboards. What combos am I missing here, because it seems like "not getting hit" is not a benchmark for success in this game and its unbelievably frustrating.
