Your Initial Difficulty Choice?

[Vipershark]

Considering that I have so many games, I generally either play on the default normal mode or if it's a choice of either Easy or Hard, I pick Easy. Then if I enjoyed the game enough, I might go back and play it again on Hard.

It really depends on the game though.
On the new Smash games for example, my goal is to first beat classic mode on the default 2.0 with all the characters, then increase the difficulty until I can beat it on 9.0 (with at least one character)
