To add on about free flow its actually quite helpful especially against boss battles. i wont reveil which movements help out with this( watch my videos if you wanna see how they work), but some can be used as homing attacks and stop enemies in their tracks. its very easy to use and adjust to after the first world. but can be sometimes annoying if the camera isnt working in your favor. I have died couple times on critical mode because i accidentally jumped off a wall and went into free flow. you take damage but do not stagger, but this can be a negative if you have many enemies surrounding you or against a boss. hope this helps!!
