What's the opinion on what difficulty to play on? The default is 4, and KobePilgram's run shows the option screen to confirm that. The other runs I watched didn't show the difficulty, so I'm not sure what was used.

It'd be nice if the rules could either state what difficulty to play on or that any difficulty (or other settings) are permitted. What have y'all been playing with?

From casual observation, the easier difficulties seem to be more about AI behavior than damage values. On 1 the AI will rarely get in a special move, whereas on 4 you will almost certainly get countered by something during a run (especially during the group fights).

Well since we're the only recent runs, I think just go with the default difficulty/settings.

The rules have been amended.
