D, you just don't get how Bayonetta works
there is no "style meter", you get your fancy style points at the end of combat. you still have to keep up your combo, you just have to do so by continuously keeping pressure on your enemies. use your guns if you're out of range to keep combo. hold the attack buttons after an attack to keep shooting. hold the attack button during a dodge and you can continue your "combo" from where you left off (so you can Punch, Kick, Dodge, then Punch again for the quick combo weave). this is called a dodge offset and this is not explained ingame
have fun
