    But should a white-belt instantly face off against a black-belt without any sort of preparation against the other belt colours? Same logic, darling, same logic.

    And that same logic could also be applied to the scaling-difficulty-option feature, too. You train as a white belt, then as a red belt, then finally as a black belt first dan, before you can beat a Third Dan.

    It's not that difficult to comprehend. 1-Star Ifrit would be the equivalent to a Red Belt, while 2 Star would be the Black Belt 1st Dan, and 3 Star Ifrit would be Black Belt 3rd Dan.

    What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

    Exactly. But what you're asking is for the black belt to stoop down to the level of the red belts, or even lower. The black belt is centred AROUND the black belt's difficulty; there is no point is raising or shifting the ability when its already locked in place as such. Why would you do that? There's no point!

    Why must you train on a black belt that must lower itself to your level? Why can't you go and look for opponents of your own level to compete and practice against? Why are tournaments always separated according to skill level? What's stopping a black belt from entering a division for white belts, while promising to go easy? Why?

    Because he's already initially like that. Removing that aspect is removing any point and sense of achievement in going for a primal which is almost like a god in this game. It would shatter any sense of accomplishment, and downplay all hard work that other people have put into it.

    People will just go, "Oh look, I killed the black belt while I'm a white. Yay, party!" and don't bother to go on anymore. Is that the right mentality to have in such a game? No.
