I've never found Shade to be particularly difficult. I know that my experience isn't everyone but he/she's definitely not one of the most difficult IMO.
And on the matter of updating, I agree with Commander above. The Penta-Op is ultimately about them having a great experience with the core Reborn game. That both helps them get engaged viewers and earn money, but also helps the game itself by hopefully getting viewers interested in the game, and hopefully involved as well. Its win-win. To that end they should use the most complete and polished version available. The community release is community only for a reason. There's bugs that come up in the community release that wouldn't appear in beta due to the larger number of people playing and testing. There are crashes, minor error, and etc. that will come up (just look at the reports already). Having them try to play what is effectively an unfinished episode is the wrong move IMO.
So the Penta-OP shouldn't update before Public Release IMO.
