If one were to do a route with no losses, is the run still eligible for the regular 8-stage arcade mode category even though there is still the 9th stage boss left? The wording in the rules "It is up to you where you want to lose a round should you want to drop a difficulty during the 8 stage default ARCADE MODE speedrun." is a bit vague and wondering if it's optional to lose. Is which battle leads to the credits what separates the runs?
