As most of you probably already know, Grey and Ashe have completely different intro stages, with the only shared thing between them being the boss. After starting a new file with Grey, I decided to compare the two intro stages.

Grey's intro stage is very easy. There are no pitfalls to potentially kill you, and a lot of it is just running and jumping. The only really tricky part is the gas leak, in my opinion. The boss is easier because you fight it over a solid bridge. I also feel the pacing is a bit worse because of the tutorials... and why is the tutorial for shooting "destroying these random capsules"?

Ashe's intro stage is still easy, but it has some actual challenge to it. There are a few points where you can fall off and die (I'm playing casual scenario mode, so as you can see, I didn't die when I jumped off). It's more dynamic, the tutorials flow better (in my opinion), and the boss has you fighting on narrow platforms rather than a solid bridge. The first time I played the game (before I tried casual scenario mode), I actually died from falling while fighting the intro stage boss.

All-in-all, I suppose it's up to personal preference, but I like Ashe's intro stage better. This is possibly also due to bias since I prefer Ashe as a character, though.
