YMMV / Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network

• Awesome Ego: Shanghai spends a great deal of time boasting about her looks or capability in battle. Despite that, she's got what it takes to back it up, ranging from not only the head of a large gang of Heel Navis but also completely immune to the effect of Dark Chips.
• Demonic Spiders: The ROM Navi "ghost" rematches, especially the V3 versions (except Cirno), and particularly Murasa.
• That One Boss: Carrie, Despite being a generic female Navi who can be fought in a fairly early sidequest around the time of Medicine's scenario. You'd think she's nothing special but she has 1600 HP and can perform the basic Cannon and Life Sword Program Advances over and over for a ton of damage. If you turtle away, she just hacks into your field with Step Sword (though there's a way around that using two obstacle chips or a few AreaGrabs to restrict her range). The reward for beating her is very worthwhile, though: the only Power +30 in the game.
  • The last N1 Staff proctor who doesn't spawn until all the other three have been beaten, fights alongside a Libaba virus, and has a terrifying level of synergy. Combine Libaba's attacks constantly creating sand panels and the proctor spamming GravBall chips means combining the Heavy status and Sand Panels and leaving you unable to move at all when they land a hit, after which you're pretty much screwed. The worst part is, you're stuck with a preset N1 Folder during this.
