Is it worth beating 4 more than once?

[PrezOfTheCastle]

I found 4 to be the weakest entry due to how much is locked behind other playthroughs, so I usually only do 1. Do you think its worthwhile to do more than 1? Am I missing anything besides souls?

Try asking in the other forum.

6 souls per game version R/B (which you already know, obviously),
Library only complete with all chips from NG through NG+2,
Bass,
Murkland,
Soul Cleaner,
Duo Omega.

Prolly some other stuff, but it comes down to achievements for the collection and/or 100% for your own interests.

Also Bass from 4 onward fights differently than 1-3, but if you have Collection Vol 2, then you already have Net 5 and 6 to fight Bass in while people playing 4 originally only had Net 4 to fight this "updated" Bass.

The main change is in his defensive mechanic (regenerating aura in volume 1, invincible while moving in volume 2) and primary "Shooting Buster" attack (goes along rows in volume 1, directly hits panels in volume 2, doesn't give post-hit invincibility in BN6 specifically).

I will go through it eventually but the goal is to beat it once before moving on to BN5. I'm on BN3 so it'll take me a while to get there.

Personally I don't think it's worth beating 4 once at all but that's just my opinion.

my 10-year old self says ♥♥♥♥ no, since he took ages to get all the doublesouls and fight Duo Omega, but since you have patch cards and buster max in 2023, I say yeah, experience what so many others hate.

Yes, it's overhated

Yes because you have to beat it 3 times to get everything. There are 2 double souls per tournament. You are gurenteed 3 your first playthrough. Your second you are guarenteed 1 more. You most likely won't get more but it's not impossible. The third playthrough you'll get everything you else. You can then start doing the end game super bosses ect.
