Here are the possible Battle Plan fixtures for each level of difficulty, and the final boss stage will always be Clockwerk (since the immortal robotic Russian owl was a very convincing villain) and the penultimate boss stage will always be Dr. M (since he's a weaker villain than Clockwerk and would be best served as Clockwerk's minions):

So anyway, I can and probably will understand that most Sly Cooper gamers will complain that they almost always have to fight either Toothpick, Sly, Carmelita, Neyla, Dimitri and/or Sir Galleth frequenting the Stage 1 slot of battleplans,...

,...as well as expressing that they only sometimes fight either Jean Bison, Le Paradox, Guru, Contessa, Panda King and/or Rioichi for the Stage 1 slots.

In addition to complaining that they hardly get to fight Bentley, Grizz, Muggshot, Mz. Ruby, Tennessee Kid Cooper, Murray and Penelope in Stage 1 because of their sole respective Stage 1 slots.

So for all the past, present and future Sly Cooper fans out there who are pushing for a fighting game, let me know what you think about the potential battleplans ranging from the degree of difficulty.
