Some safe techniques to beat bosses in sor2 mania mode, no damage, but considering that all punks were killed first.

Since Jack isn't trivially grabbed I decided to include him in the video as well.

Note that for Mr.X the technique shown isn't realistic. When fighting Mr.X the punks around come in a limited number, but killing them all before Mr.X takes a while and you most likely get hit or killed in the meanwhile. There are other options to beat him including dealing with punks, but I didn't found any simple loop to do that.

If playing with 2 players you can deal with how AI targets players. See my Mr.X in 30 seconds as an example:
