Balance Current Battle

[LifeHckr]

Current battles should represent the first stage of the game, while bosses and elites can be difficult, they should be approachable for people with limited experience with rhythm games.

First area should be much faster. Enemies can have less health, charts should have fewer notes to hit at the same time, and rely on fewer lanes at a time. After thinking about it, it'd be better for this section to have a couple more battles, with all of them being faster, even if its still overall faster, than have it continue feeling sluggish. To balance this, player can also start with much less health.

Right now the ideal number of loops in each combat should be as follows:
Normal - 2-4 - Should be quick and not much of an issue, players might lose a bit of HP.

Duo normal - 3-5 - Just feels like a slightly longer normal battle. On paper its double HP from a normal fight, except by killing the first enemy the track already has a ton of player notes spread out.

Elite - 3-5? - This fight is already meant to be mechanically harder, and doesn't need much longer length. However I don’t think a stage 1 elite should be beaten in 2 loops. The counterpoint would be: harder means more enemy notes, more enemy notes means more player notes.

Boss - ?? - Subjective due to mechanics. We also need to implement the simon says pivot which can increase fight length. We may also want to balance all bosses off the idea of the player having new notes and relics.

	Lowest Loops per Kill	Time per Loop	Fastest Time per Kill
Parasifly (1)	2	32 sec	64 sec
Parasifly (2)	3	32 sec	96 sec
Wolf Spirit	3	32 sec	96 sec
Boss Blood	4	32 sec	128 sec

Numerical changes are done, unless Raul is updating the charts we can mark this as complete.
