Dont collect many heart pieces, they are given like candy and can make the difficulty a joke, believe me, wait until you unlock infinite climax.

yeah I found a lot of them already.
oh, Alfheim portals. so far they're much easier in this game. I completed all of the ones that I've found without even trying.

I found a few a bit challenging. Then there is one where you have to
Stay in the air to kill a big guy without touching the ground. I only tried it once because it seemed like the not so fun sort of challenging.

I can't believe I missed several angelic hymns throughout my first playthrough. I noticed I'm missing quite a few weapons in both Bayonetta games. I'm on some inspector gadget shit now.
That one was such a biiiitch. Took me 10 tries to beat it.

I haven't done that one yet, but couldn't you just use Umbran Spear and the rising afterburner kick along with enemy step to stay airborne easily?

Finally picked up Bayo 2 for WiiU yesterday and I gotta say, this game is really something else. Fantastic combat coupled with rock solid 60fps, I couldn't really ask for more. I like the environment setting as well. The art direction is still as strong as ever.
As for Bayo 1, it basically shits all over the PS3 version. I will never touch the PS3 version ever again.
Also, the first bayonetta design is still the best.

Rakshasa on hands and Alruna on feet for me.
Just do that K K K - K combo to wipe out that first wave quickly and then yeah, smash him with combos in midair and use the afterburner kick to gain air if needed.
Just gotta be careful not to button mash and do a slamming combo that sends you to the ground. It took me a few times but it's a good way to learn these sort of techniques.
You don't even need to use any attack in particular (just avoid kicks I guess). The enemy is pretty huge so jumping off it is very easy to perform.

What I mean is, it should be really easy since you can use enemy step to just jump off of an enemy over and over. You can cancel attacks into it so with Love is Blue, for example, you could do something like PPP enemy step PPP etc. over and over if you really wanted to. If you've ever played DMC3/4 it's the same concept as air combos in those games.
I know, just using them as example moves since they can help keep you airborne very easily. If you happen to go too far you can just double tap lock-on to use Umbran Spear right back to them and enemy step again.
Am I the only one that finds Bayo 2 on 3rd climax harder than Bayo 1's Normal (basically 3rd difficulty setting)? Granted that Bayo 2 does not really hide much of the heart pieces and such and the game is pretty generous with items and halos, but enemies on 3rd climax hit like a truck, making evasion all the more necessary. I can survive long enough in Bayo 1 chapters even if I got hit several times without using items. But to be fair though, enemies also drop health recoveries more frequently than Bayo 1 so that probably balances it out.

I loved Bayo 2 but it isn't rock solid 60fps. There was tons of frame drops throughout the game.

The game runs fairly smooth, but in no way is it anywhere close to being a rock solid 60fps.

It seems like there are a lot more big hits from regular enemies this time around.
She was hit in a cutscene though!
I think the hit from Gomorrah killed her and her soul was then claimed by Inferno. This would happen when any Umbra Witch is killed I believe.
Well, she didn't protect herself, just shoved Cereza out of the way. But the real reason is plot damage.
She can dodge bullets but not a big and slow as fuck demon tail. Makes absolutely no sense.
Just like plot armour, plot damage ignores any and all reasons.

If Jeanne didn't jump in the way and lose her soul, we'd have no Bayonetta 2.
You kneel down and kiss her feet. She provided the plot this miracle needed to happen.

I'm sure Kamiya wanted to be the hand that clawed her ass.

Kamiya motion captured that ass grab
She tried to do Moth Within and mistimed it, happens to the best of us.
Still don't understand why the prologue even happened. Then again I'm still only on chapter 15.

I played through the entire game again in one sitting tonight. I think that's a first. 
Having beat it twice, I now think the grand finale in Bayo 2 not only plays better than Bayo 1, but is more meaningful and emotionally resonant, as well. But I'll save that topic for another time.
In the meanwhile, enjoy this shot I took of the most awesome combination ever. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you: "The Bad Bitch."

I haven't noticed any framerate dips though so far. Then again I'm nowhere near halfway the game so I might be wrong.

The first very noticeable is right at the start in Chapter 1.
I just finished NSIC with Jeanne... Man it was really hard at the end.

I...I think I need to see an eye doctor. Maybe there was a framerate but I hardly noticed it?

And here's another shot of Bayonetta and the post-game weapon, picnicking on a fine Sunday afternoon: http://abload.de/img/wiiu_screenshot_tv_0147sqp.jpg
Didn´t know about the Climax Bible, it looks much better (300+ pages, that alone tells you something) but...is it in English or only in Japanese?
It´s terrible on its own. After buying the W101 guide and this I think I´ve learned my lesson, no more Prima guides they promise too much and deliver too little.
There's no huge dips like in the first bayonetta, but it never really ruins consistently at 60fps either. Instead it hovers around the 40fps range and doesn't drop below that

Unfortunately japanese only.
You can fail that? Huh, never knew about that..

Finished the game tonight and immediately played two hours of Tag Climax lol
This is the best action game ever made, which really isn't a surprise, since it was developed by the action gods at Platinum.
What IS a huge surprise to me is that Bayo 2 has proven that Platinum are now the kings of action games in ALL aspects, including set piece design and huge battles. The one thing I always gave the God of War franchise credit for was the incredible "epic" feel of the games....but Bayonetta 2 has outdone them, in my opinion.
Truly an amazing game.....and with an INSANE amount of extra content to boot! I don't think I've played a game that felt this complete since Resident Evil 4.

Super Mirror 64 allows you to purchase and use the Nintendo costumes from the Wii U port of Bayonetta 1. Bayonetta has her original hairstyle while wearing them.
Oh, neat! Wow, this game really has everything.
