The game is anything but short. If your plan is to do most of the sidequests and get every ending, then you got a solid 80+ gameplay looking forward to. So deleting it and starting fresh is a big deal.

The singleplayer difficulty goes up, but nowhere near a level where it becomes a problem. It’s just to get accustomed to the fighters and what they do.

While i’m not Mike (obviously), i can answer that question for you after spending some time with the arcade version.
