The machine difficulty was set hilariously low: managed to pass a whole bunch of stuff I would never be able to touch (Timepiece EXT? Piece of cake!), but still managed to fail Daydream EXT, haha.
Here's a lovely video of me getting Encore Stage, and blagging a (completely undeserved) pass on Purple Storm. Out of question, what do you need to do to get Premium Encore Stage? I'm guessing I would've been looking to SS Over There rather than Micro Fin for my ES, but it's not like that was a viable testing option
with a V3 set which is non-eamuse-enabled,
there are 3 things to take note:
1. extra stages will ALWAYS be Over There and Micro Fin.
2. encore stage will ALWAYS be Purple Storm.
3. premium encore stage does not exist, even if you get MAX for Over There or Micro Fin.
