From our first session experiencing co-op mode (and Rob's first time even playing the game).

There's room for debate and experimentation on what the "optimal" duo is; I think Ashida is best for a player who doesn't have much experience so that's why he made an appearance here.

The run itself was far from flawless and the additional enemies make it hard for me to approximate what a "good time" is in co-op, but this seems like a solid start.
