Add Randomization Option to Arcade Mode#863

Hey all. Loving the game still and have been playing it since launch. I like being able to back out of online and play singleplayer modes like trials and arcade mode, but the arcade mode in this game has been a bit disappointing for me. I think the structure is perfectly fine, but right now there are two problems:

1.) Arcade mode routes are the exact same for each character every time you play, so the only replayability is in trying to get faster times.
2.) Arcade mode routes have not been updated since their date of addition. Clairen players for example will never see Absa, Olympia, Galvan, etc. In their arcade mode.

A solution to this would be to add an extra difficulty option for random runs similar to street fighter 4. The structure would be sort of like this:

Round 1: 1v1 battle against a randomized opponent, stage and stage skin are determined by opponents home stage
Round 2: 2v2 battle with randomized characters, stage determined by the randomized ally character
Round 3: same as Round 1
Round 4: either target test or eye break (or any other fun trials you guys have cooking up)
Round 5: same as Round 1
Round 6: Horde battle against a horde of one randomized character (all wrastors, all fleets, etc.)
Round 7: rival battle. Set battle whose opponent is determined by the character you chose. I.e. Clairen will always fight lox here.
Round 8: abyss monster boss against a random character on godai Delta

This is just an idea of how I’d want it implemented, but obviously it’s up to the devs how it would look like. This fixes both our prior problems while keeping the spirit of arcade mode alive

1.) New additional replayability for players who don’t care about time attack. Speedrunning players can still enjoy trying to get faster times in a more inconsistent mode for extra challenge
2.) Now newly added characters will show up in older characters’ arcade routes

Let me know what you think! I think this would go a long way for enriching the singleplayer experience while we wait for the story mode to release. Thanks!
