Running Pro knife only.
I was wondering why I couldn't kill Ramon with knife. Others have shown that it can be done.
Oh, he's wearing DLC costume. Apparently, knife last longer with DLC costume.
Big difference between Pro Game Rank 11 and Pro Game Rank 10 too. When dying Rank 11 Ramon is a big B**ch.

This is messed up, must check Verdugo too.

Casual costume has knife buff or all of them? kinda (a little) messed up if DLC outfits have hidden stat boost

Are you sure it's not because they were using the knife/melee accessory, instead of the costume?

All DLC costumes have knife buff and probably also reduce damage.

Pre-order attachcases and weapons, weapon upgrade DLCs, DLC Costumes with bonus stats.
Gaming in 2023...

Well, I'm fine with that, but Crapcom should show us they have bonus stats.
Because Pro Rank 10+DLC costumes are completely different game.
I am stuck with Ramon now. lol.

Since we're talking about Rank memes. If you are bad at the game, Del Lago spawns with increased hp BUT "increased damage taken". However, your DA goes up pretty high with harpoon hits for some reason, so your rank goes to 11 and now you deal less damage, but Del Lago's HP stays the same, so basically, you get punished for being bad.

It might be similar to other bosses too but I didn't bother testing it since it takes a bit of effort to go down rank.

This kind of challenge run you will die a lot, the difference is how you continue. If you click continue directly your rank will mostly stay at 10, going back to the title screen load save will not change your rank. Now I understand why my game is harder than the video I watched. lol. Because his game is like Pro rank 9 (10+DLC costume).

That's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. And not just selling gameplay bonuses, but making them hidden as well.

Have you tested the costumes you can unlock in the base game like the black mafia outfit? I've exclusively used nothing but the default outfit in all my runs (everything unlocked already) and decided to give the black outfit in the base game a try on my pro run and I felt the dmg I took was oddly low, at least the few times I've gotten hit so not extensive testing and I can't be bothered to test right now. It might be just any costume in general, DLC and base game.

I don't think Pro 10 and such cause any type of difficulty increase like in Dark Souls games. I think the game just becomes increasingly unstable/buggy similar to the multi saves launch to main menu delay bug as you get more saves as each NG/NG+ seems to get progressively odder (I see more and more bizarre bugs and stuff occur, considerably more to the point its become dumbfounding I haven't seen it in earlier runs) but not inherently harder.

Mafia outfit have buff or bug? too, I really hope it just my game bugged. I managed to kill Ramon by getting 4 perfect boot knives from previous save and another 3 boot knives from his barrel. it was close call. Anyway this is just a practice run so let's see what happens in the next new game.
