YMMV / Grief Syndrome

• Anti-Climax Boss: Walpurgisnacht's attacks are powerful, but easy to avoid, especially if you're a character with a dive attack and can just hang out in the corner constantly hitting her- a far cry from the unstoppable juggernaut she is in the main series. The challenge is getting through the enemy packed stage quickly enough that you've got enough soul to last the fight.
• High-Tier Scrappy: Sayaka is disliked for being too strong.
• Low-Tier Letdown: Mami is disliked for being too weak compared to the series.
• That One Level: H.N. Ellen/Kirsten. The other four levels are a fairly straightforward progression of more and more powerful Familiars and Witches with harder to avoid attacks. Kirsten, however, has a Labyrinth full of Bottomless Pits, other stage hazards, and Ledge Bats - while none of the other Witches - not even the final boss - use stage hazards (unless you count WPN's rain of debris). This becomes even more infuriating when you remember that in canon, Kirsten hardly has a Labyrinth and gets killed in about 30 seconds; she mostly exists to show off how badass the newly contracted Sayaka is via Look What I Can Do Now! (though Fridge Brilliance might kick in when you realize Sayaka is the best character for this stage).
