Difficulties across different ports

Currently, the difficulties shown are what the steam version put out for us. The default difficulty for Metal Slug games(original arcade and neogeo releases) tends to be Level-4. The closest difficulty for this in the steam version is Medium. But while Medium may be level-4 in the steam version, Medium may not be the same in other releases or other difficulties for that matter. We do know that Level-8 is the highest difficulty you can set it to, so we assume that's Very Hard. I should note that all of this hasn't been fully tested.

Anyway we do not fully know all of them for the ports. So if you are unsure what difficulty you actually fall under, your best bet is to simply do a damage check on enemies and see how many shots it takes to kill something and compare it to either runs on the board or to your own testing in an arcade/neogeo emulator.

I think in steam version, the difficulty isn't set as level-4 in Neo-Geo because some enemies act a bit faster and sometimes they go slow so it is like an adjustment between level-3 and 5 and we cannot expect too much for level-4 as they can make a bit higher RNG than before.

Like in Hard, they act between level-5 and 7 so it is not completely level-6 and Easy is set either level-1 or 2 except Very Hard, of course, is set only level-8

Anyway, if sending in both versions are difficult, try to divide the version into 4 charts; Any Emulator / Level 8 Emulator / Any Steam / VH Steam and runners will understand the difficulty at all.
