Highest quality combat variety and minigames in the series, progression in the other games feels nowhere NEAR close to this satisfying and it's honestly SHOCKING how they went from this games progression to 6s which is HORRIFIC. Kind of unfortunate that it's the modern starting point, it definitely sets standards WAY too high, especially for Majima who yeah, is great, but REALLY isn't used to the extent that this game may give off. Notable difficulty spike as well which can easily catch new players off guard and cause a lot of frustration, encouraging techniques such as weapon and item spam which, while fun and viable within 0, REALLY sets up the wrong idea for the other entries.
