I know they are called HARD challenges, but they're mostly just needlessly long and boring. There's a point where they are just ridiculous, right?
I just got done winning 26 matches on the fourth Hard Survival in Challenge mode. Twenty-six. The only reason I didn't win more is because I was absolutely sick to death of doing Gief's Lariat. Anyway, I won twenty-six matches, and got a silver medal for it.
If there were maybe a few Survival levels that made you go through 20+ matches in order to get the gold medal, it would already be annoying enough, given how much of a grind playing against the AI can be. But I've been through all the normal ones, and now four of the hard ones, and I can't even remember how many times I've had to face almost all (if not all) members of the cast. Each time a new opponent pops up, I'm literally like, "seriously... match 19 AGAIN?" Do there really need to be this many levels that hit 20 and 25 levels? Ugh...
I don't know, it just seems like overkill to me. The heart and soul of the game is the 1-on-1 action, so it really pisses me off that there is so much tied to the single player component - way too much of which is tedious fluff. Bah.
