Playing through Arcade mode (Normal difficulty) of Fighting EX Layer on PS4 with Hayate Kamite, Blair Dame, Skullo Mania, Area (after some confusing over the notes on her move list), and Terry Bogard, on Normal difficulty, then trying the "Kumite" Survival-style sub-mode in Training mode with a bunch of characters I like or kinda like:

0:00 - Update 1.4.0 notes
2:30 - Hayate
34:15 - Blair*
1:02:14 - Skullo Mania**
1:37:26 - Area--"with Cancer equipped" move confusion***
1:50:59 - Area
2:13:55 - Terry
2:42:35 - Kumite confusion--forgot it was Survival-type mode****
2:53:19 - Jack (Kumite)
2:59:51 - Darun (Kumite)
3:10:31 - V.Rosso (Kumite)
3:19:17 - Allen (Kumite)
3:28:07 - Skullo Mania (Kumite)
3:35:48 - Terry (Kumite)
3:38:18 - wrap-up & what's next!

I cleared all five Arcade attempts on a single credit! = O

* I was hearing and mispronouncing Blair's last name as "Dane" rather than "Dame," which is what the internet tells me is actually her last name.

** In the past I've mostly seen Skullo Mania's name as "Skullomania"; this game, however, mostly renders it as either "Skullo Mania"--on character select screens, for instance--or "Skullo" (next to his portrait in the battle HUD).

*** I was really confused by most of Area's moves being described as only working "with Cancer equipped"; so confused I just up and googled it in the middle of the recording. Eventually I found "Cancer" is the name (?!) of her beloved arm robot, and the notes about it throughout her move list just mean that while the arm is flying through the ground or air--launched by holding d+3P or 3P)--Area of course can't use any of the moves she normally does with the arm; as soon as it automatically returns and settles back into place on her flesh and blood arm, she can access all her moves again.

**** I forgot that the "Kumite" mode you can set up with the Opponent--CPU Format--Kumite option in the Training mode menu is a "survival"-style mode where you only get a little of your health back after a fight, and I was trying it on Hard difficulty for the first time--and losing, which was new for me : oo (on Hard, the stupid jump-in & sweep spam that works far too well on Normal doesn't work so well)--so I was really confused as to why what I thought was just an endless battle mode was popping up the menu and not randomizing my opponent. But it's basically a Survival-style mode, so it's a reset/game-over when you die. Kind of funny how all the Gougi cards are active the whole time, that takes a little getting used to.

I'm not very good but on Normal difficulty it was really fun--a lot more fun than Arcade mode, so now that I've gone through every character's Arcade mode, I think I'll mostly be playing the game in Kumite! : D And probably mostly with Darun, Allen, Skullo Mania, D.Dark, Jack, and Terry, but we'll see how things shake out as I play more.
