So today I'm playing the western version in hard and it feels easier than the patched BK3 in very hard, how weird. There are definitely fewer enemies in it. It's puzzling because there's nowhere stating the difficulty changes of the translation patch, so I don't know if it wasn't intended, or tested in the hardest difficulty, an emulator bug or what. Patched BK3 doesn't have some of the most annoying quirks of SoR3 (namely, bosses having an endless number of lifebars, and enemy attacks causing more damage), but it keeps some of the unfavorable stuff from BK3 (bigger penalty for using specials with a depleted bar, slower rolling) while amping up enemy aggressiveness and numbers. There are also more changes under the hood, like some bosses being less cheesable (notoriously Shiva and Robo-Axel) with some of their attacks and patterns having modified priorities.
