Why is this plat so rare?

[thickish_post5]

Only 33 people have done it as of counting? What's so difficult about it? It seems like a standard fighting game, challenges, story mode, and character specific stuff. Is something brutally difficult like Persona 4 Arena's score attack mode? What about it is so difficult?

Its just the trials really.

Trials for certain characters (Ms. Fortune, Parasoul, Valentine) are legit difficult, you have to be on point with the execution. 

Then there's Marie 300,having to beat her with Squigly and the 829 hits combo which is kinda ridiculous. 

The game might look cute but unlike games like Injustice 1 this one deserves its rarity ?

Mainly the trials. You have to complete every single one of them, so if you don't like a certain type of character, you're going to struggle. The timing required or the trials are so tight that pause cheese doesn't work on 90+% of them. Some of the challenges in Challenge Mode are hard too.

 

Don't listen to the people that will come in and say "lul this game is a 3/0 bro, git gud." The rarity is low because it is hard. If you are not good at the genre, don't even think about picking this up.

I mean, as a person who has been playing fighting games semi-competetively for about 6 years now, the trials were pretty easy, only a few required more than a couple of tries. However, if you only play fighters casually and/or your execution isn't that good, you will struggle on quite a few of them.

Imo Marie 300% is harder solely because it's more luck dependant than skill. Once you know the strategy against each phase you just kinda have to get a bit lucky, but that also shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to beat.

As with a lot of fighting game platinums, the difficulty very much depends on your experience with the genre.
