I should mention the likelihood of the Kongou rule being true is rather low.

I tested some of the comps reported on the spreadsheet for E3 that follows the Kongou rule and claim to go start to A, but each and every one I tested instead went start to B, a direct conflict to their report. I made sure that those comps did not have Hiryuu/Souryuu before testing.

The only thing that may have made the difference is difficulty, because those who reported the Kongou rule and went to A were on hard; I ran on easy. Still, assuming difficulty does factor into the branching rule, why would hard mode have less restrictions than easy in this case? It's possible that meeting the Kongou rule but not Hiryuu/Souryuu makes the branching random.
