It can be hard to go live. I often don't have very good cell signal when I'm at an arcade. I can try again sometime, but I will at least try to shoot more videos like these when I go.
Oh dang. IIRC, split difficulty was added in Zero in like 2006. So you must have Exceed 2 or older. That's been a minute. Still fun though! And you can always play double and then you don't need split difficulty. 😉
