>>55973188>>55973306>And you’re wrong about the levels because of curved exp and the BDSP E4 being higher leveled than Platinum.Doesn't that mean that the E4 will give more EXP than the Platinum one, and if you happen to be slightly under-leveled it would mean that you would gain even more EXP making you more on par with Cynthia compared to her massive level spike in base DP?
>The NPCs having actual EV spreads is why they’re harder.Give me some damage calcs then, using reasonable levels and EV spreads from a casual play-through.
>It’s noticeably harder than every single other game in the series with it on, including the garbage GC spin offs.Nope, Game Cube titles were definitely harder overall, given every boss was actually designed and hard. Only the water and grass totem fights were particularly hard in SM, and USUM only adds Ultra Necrozma to the mix (I'll given them major props for making a different also reasonably difficult water totem). I do like USUM for the sidequests and worldbuilding, not to mention making Hau not fucking garbage, and the reasonable difficulty takes it over the top in being a game I actually like and would play through again if I could skip the cut-scenes. You're a sad man that only thinks about statistics but can't back it up with anything numerical so it's neither factual nor emotional.
