Grade A rank or above
I was wondering if their were any really great players here who were very kind enough to play some co-op with me and get me some A ranks on level 2-5 while I sit back, since I've already encountered a very generous player who helped me on level one, Since then I figured their would be more kind, great players out their very willing to help a fellow gamer out. If you're that player please don't hesitate to messege me on xbox live. Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Besides all that please do not post something like "Why don't you do it yourself?, it's easier that way" that isn't very helpful. As the person who helped me on level one had very few lag issues a few times but after retrying over and over he finally got it after maybe the 5th time. So I am aware lag may pay a part in failing but it can be done as the lag isn't as consistent as everyone thinks. Thanks again.

I hardly doubt you'll have anyone help you with the harder levels, infact I know you won't.  With the lag (and there will always be lag) it makes A-ranking even harder.  Ontop of that issue you will eventually collide with the other player trying to avoid what he or she is trying to do and you may even draw enemies towards you which will make it even harder unless you are both on the same page as far as where you need to be.

Maverick, I know I told you that I couldn't help you in co-op because of the lag when you messaged me on Xbox live about this but I hope you don't think that was just an excuse because I'm too lazy too help out or anything, it really is just too laggy for me to play co-op with anybody on this game. I tried co-op recently with another player from the UK but even then there was at least 1 second of lag, and when I tried playing with a friend from the US the game was literally unplayable. I already recommended doing it in single player but if you really are adamant you want to do this in co-op, you may have settle for playing with somebody a little less experienced at the game who is also going for the A ranks, as most of the 'really great players' don't really bother with co-op and tend to focus more on their single player scores. I get the impression you don't really enjoy the chaining aspect of this game, but unfortunately chaining IS the game and even in co-op you may have to learn some chaining to get the A ranks if your playing with another relatively inexperienced player. I suppose one other possibility would be to go for the 'Unstoppable' achievement first, as you could do this without chaining just by focusing on survival, and you will then unlock Prototype mode from successfully doing this. Playing in Prototype mode would make getting A ranks a little easier because you can kill the bosses quicker and get more bonus chains, although I'm not sure if this would unlock the achievements as I have never tried it myself. Again though, you would have to learn some chaining...

If I get good enough at level 5, I'll help you with that one also.  It really is the next easiest one after the first level.  And level 2 is fairly easy because you can kill the boss in less than 15 seconds with 2 players with no real problems which leads to at least 1.7 mill of the 2.5 mill you need for an "A" rank.  So give me a few more days, and we will try another level.

Chaining is a huge part of the game in single player but in multiplayer it isn't as necessary because for some reason it counts the score from any boss twice.  Meaning if you kill the first boss with 70 seconds on the clock, you each score 700,000 for that in the scoring at the end of the level.

Even if that is the case.  You will need at minimum to chain a 50 combo somewhere in those levels and upwards of 70 for level 4.

Re: Grade A rank or above
Yeah, I really wasn't referring to level 4.  That level is pure insanity.  But level 2,and 5 and even possibly 3 shouldn't be that difficult.  I would say any chain from 15-30 could probably get it done on level 2.  Level 5 is just about survival.  I think it is nearly impossible to NOT chain in level 5 because nearly every enemy is white, I actually got an S++ on that level with my partner on the first try.  And I haven't done 3 yet but i did go through the entire level with somebody else and we never chained 1 thing and still got a "B".  So I am guessing a 30-40ish chain could get the job done there.  Just my guesstimates, but I really think that given the lag, it is much easier in co-op as opposed to single player.
