The time has come to get rid of enrage timers

Or, should progress be something where "this is the level the fight is set at, and that's exactly the minimum height you'll have to jump"?

SSS rank for example does not have to be set at the current difficulty, it could be more challenging. Same with all the ranks. Lets say "A" is the current difficulty.

It would also promote practice of the end content. Get rid of "normal" mode all together. If the entry is set lower more people will probably get to the "higher" content, or at least feel more comfortable attempting it.
