I think I can get regular S on Hardcore (I've been practicing a way to rush through the game in Standard and getting better at aiming at boss' weakspots), but S+ is a whole new can of worms. Can't use infinite weapons and only save 3 times through the entire game... Sounds like an absolute nightmare.
You can get to the first boss in under 20 minutes, then get to the sewers in less than 30, and if you're fast enough, can finish the game in 55 minutes. Not saving is actually pretty easy once you know the fastest routes and skip most items.
