Working on a Master of Many Styles build, and came across a few uncertain hopes.
1. With True Strike cast on the previous round, my character with Smashing Style makes a successful sunder attack. Smashing Style says my character would then make a bullrush or trip attempt at the same bonus. Does this mean they retain the +20 from True Strike?
2. If my character obtained Demonic Slaughter as a MoMS bonus feat, do they need to have Great Cleave to gain benefit from Demonic Slaughter?
3. Say my character is using Smashing Style and Demonic Style, with Demonic Slaughter. Since sunder is an attack replacement, they would be able to use Smashing Style to sunder>bullrush a foe. Would that attack still count as being part of a charge, since no action usage has occured?
3a. If yes to 3, would that allow the character to continue bullrushing enemies around, making cleave attacks to as many enemies as they could reach?

For 2, you need to meet all the prereqs to gain Demonic Slaughter through MoMS. The rest you will probably see disagreements about how it would work.
Master of Many Styles specifically states that the prerequisites to style feats do not need to be met when picking the bonus feats gained at lvl 1 & 2.

yes, but Demonic Slaughter isn’t a “style feat”; for the purpose of MoMS, style feats have the word “style” in the name.
The pre-errata MoMS did allow grabbing style-feat-path-non-style-feats without prereqs, but the errata was 2015 and Slaughter came out in 2018, so even time travel would not allow for that particular combo to have will worked.

I think the answer for 1 is that it works. I would also opine that for the most part the combo suggested by (3) would function, sometimes with fairly nuclear outcomes. But it does take a bundle of feats.
Edit: they each (every combat maneuver) also provoke AoAs unless you grab the other maneuver feats as well.
