Agreed. Arcade's only 2 loop mode is Extended, but it's even easier to 1CC than Arcade Hard is due to all the 1ups you can earn combined with the fact that it's not a 1 hit kill mode. The difficulty selections in this game are pretty strange... but at least there's a couple of modes that put up a challenge. I found going for the no miss made it feel the most arcadey. Your shield powerups are pretty strong so the main threat is not crashing into anything solid!
@@Chloroxite There's some overlap, Arcade Hard uses some of the loop 2 patterns from Ridiculous, but if you're going for a deathless run, Ridiculous is harder due to Loop 2 having a lot more revenge bullets with nasty patterns, and WAY more boss HP than Arcade mode ever does.
@@BareKnuckleRoo Eh. I think the bosses having so much HP ends up doing more harm for the balancing than good, cause if you die the boss becomes a chore to kill, and you can't time them out.
