DDP DFK black label has a nice, gradual difficulty.

Haha. Honestly, I feel for Mushi, in Normal 1.0 Original anyway, you can 1CC with almost no routing.

I admit, you still have to dodge well enough... but at least you don't need to really memorize much (maybe just a bit (grass hoppers) in Stage 4 and some of the nonsense with pitcher plants in Stage 5).

For SDOJ, even in "Original" difficulty (Shot Type) it is very routing heavy for the "standard" difficulty.

Well, good news! Finally managed to 1CC this today @_@"... but playing Version 1.5 and Type-D/S!~

I like 1.5 a lot because hyper recharge faster, even if it means rank go brr... but was very annoying getting all those points to unlock Type-D for 1.0/1.5 modes. Decided to focus on Type-D for first clear.

Now I will switch back to Type-A/S but feel it is definitely harder. But... baby steps... I guess... haha!
