i just posted the first (and hopefully last) batch of version differences in the fusion section. discuss.
Thread title:
Archived M2K2 Forum
the question is, what does this mean for speed running, if anything. i'd be happy to send around my japanese copy of the game to a trusted runner if they'd like to have a stab at easy (or hard), the obvious advantage to easy being that many of the boss-weakening changes happen to also erase corresponding hated random elements in the game.
Time bomb set get out fast!
Sweet! Always good to see new stuff on m2k2. The version differences are cool, though personally I would have grouped all the "50% HP on Easy" bosses onto one page -- it was a bit disappointing whenever I clicked on a boss and that was the only difference listed. You could call that page "half-life bosses," causing widespread confusion and eventually rioting in the streets. Just sit back and watch the looting begin. (I call Microplay!)
Too many fangirls to count

yes, the enemies are placed identically in all difficulty settings. also, as far as i was able to tell, they take the same amount of damage to die in all difficulty settings.
as for people who wanted me to buy them things ... i am not an import service. for people living in the united states, importing games is as easy as going to lik-sang.com. for europeans the situation is a little different, because shipping there is much more difficult, and apparently most businesses just won't do it. i am only one person (believe it or not) and as such i need to concentrate on areas where my help is most needed. i hope that you will understand.
