Raiden can cut through much with his sword. 
They updated the PSN store a few hours ago which fixed the issue. He's still having hashtag issues with certain menus, though, which is weird.
He also said that using Ayane in the trials, she did not have all the skills he purchased for her in story mode. Do they actually handicap the skills available to the characters in ninja trials or is he just wrong? Sorry if I keep asking about stuff he reports to me. Don't have the game myself. xD
Also, is there any difference functionally between what can be done with Ryu or the Random Ninja? Like, does one have abilities not available to the other, or is the difference only cosmetic (and in the method by which you upgrade them).

I didn't really unlock many abilities on Hard in the demo and since I started on Hard I can't really confirm anything. I did have the costume I bought and the level 2 sword, though. Seems fine in Xbox land. As for the Unknown Ninja, he seems to have a different moveset. Hard to tell for now since I only played one match and I'm only level 3 or 4.
Super minor spoilers:
I'm doubtful anyone's already investigating their second playthrough, but in case someone is, I'm curious whether unlocks achieved via scarabs and whatnot carry through difficulties. I'm assuming the 50 scarab reward (costumes) do, but it seems like they might be sensitive about balance with the 45 scarab reward (Dragon ninpo).

Broken as in they take no damage, barely get stunned, and do an obscene amount of damage. The T-rex boss fight was flat out embarrassing. its like trying to break a brick wall with your skull. Did anyone play test this shit? Main game is fun, but a lot of unneeded shit.

Hey that's what happens when you get to many people crying that the game is too easy. So now when they develop something, that is all they think about. I'm sure at one point, they had it balanced out just fine, and then they thought of all those cry babies, and now the shit is too damn hard. Kinda funny to me actually.
Playing through on Hard and having a relatively easy time. The Gigantosaurus fight is still pretty bad but I'm really enjoying the rest of it. I know I've missed some scarabs so hopefully they transfer through to each difficulty...I hate replaying something just for collectibles.
So far my favourite skull challenge was with volf
the worst one was with german shepards and vangelfs, the f?

Yo just completed the game like super early this morning loving the game so far, but I have a quick question, has anyone here ran into any game instabilities? *Spoiler Alert* [if any1 hasnt completed the game yet] But I was on day 8 of the story mode and I ran into a freezing problem. You're in the truck with Mizuki and you have to shoot down flying enemy goons and choppers to stop them from destroying the vehicle as she drives. Right before you get to the part where you have to take down other enemy trucks behind you, the game froze on me... (Note brand new disc no smears or scratches on it, just picked up my NG3RE copy yesterday) ...anyway, thankfully once I restarted my ps3 and got to that specific part in the game again it all played out fine and I was able continue smoothly with the rest of the game. I've already ran into a couple people who have encountered the same problem in the exact same spot of the game and some aren't so fortunate, it's only happened to me once, others keep having it happen to them not allowing them to progress in the game's story.
Besides that though everything thing else in the game is fine and runs smoothly... well so far anyway ^_^
Idk if this is just happening to ps3 users or what, just thought I'd post here to see if anyone here has ran into the same problem or a similar one

I managed to play through the first 2 days last night and this game is FREAKING AMAZING, awkward QTE-battle-cutscene moments aside. Still can't believe they're merged with the tutorials, which I turned off by the way. I already know what to do, but they'll definitely throw some new players off. I'm playing on Hard and I'm not dying nearly as much as I did playing Vanilla since it's actually a bit more fair. Dodging still sucks, but this is already my favorite game XD
What I like the most is that the waves don't go on endlessly like they used to. Playing it before felt so tedious and was a huge chore to sit through, but now I'm able to get through stages much faster! I'm also loving the Crystal Skull challenges too. Extra karma, enemy variety, nostalgic bosses revisited, everything about this game aside from the occasional unresponsive controls and lack of i-frames when I dodge. Unforgivable I can't dodge out of my attacks like I used to in NG1 and 2 <_<
Also playing through the story with the Spirit of the Fighter costume DLC. Apparently when Ryu tries to show his face to Canna, he removes his mask to reveal yet another mask! A mask inside a mask, how lazy of you, TN

My favorite part so far has been the Alma skull challenge. The music and environment brought me back. She seemed a bit easier than I remember, though it was only on Hard. Seeing her model change when she took too much damage was a bit interesting too lol.
Guys you can get the free DLC costume by making a Europe PSN account and downloading from the psn store

The Volf challenge was ridiculously easy compared to the first day. In fact, I only took down Doku by spamming Lvl.2 Ultimate Attacks and Volf by spamming [][][]ΔΔ whenever he's left wide open. I was eating away at his health like a candy bar :U
Wait till you get to the day 4 challenge its fucking bullshit and buggy
Round 1: Spider ninja's - easy
Round 2: Pink Fiends with Pink Vangelfs - Easy
Round 3: Dogs with purple vangelfs - Annoying
Round 4 - Marbus and he spawns 5 pink fiends - bullshit, cheap, glitchy
I been at this for 4 hours no lie lool
Everytime I get Marbus down to less than Half Hp something BS always happens and I die
I quit this challenge and just gonna do it on normal through chapter challenge for the trophy
edit: gamestop finally emailed me the DLC code, which is good as it calmed me down from breaking a wall lmao
Doku gave me some trouble on Hard, actually. Didn't kill me but I was forced to actually do some hit and run on him rather than being purely on the offensive like I usually do. Part of that is that I'm refusing to use Lunar until I get my 1,000 kills with swords for the achievement lol.
My game just arrived! Whoohoo! So excited!
You can get the Lunar before fighting Doku?
