I'm not so sure, seems like Super Hard will have more changes than previous difficulty modes, this was posted by Agrajag back in May:

Wait a second here Super Hard is actually real?

Was browsing the JP wiki and they had "SH" listed. I thought it was just a joke for future modes.
Has there been any other information?

Super Very Hard is confirmed to be released in October, has been for at least two or more months.

In previous PSO/PSU - the hardest difficulties typically involved very fast moving mobs usually matching the rate a player can sprint; at least that's how I remember it. You really had to work for optimal positioning, and status effects really start helping - Freeze in the past has been very very beneficial for perma-locking really obnoxious mobs; Shock & Confusion weren't bad options either.

It was known during the Nico Nico broadcast of Episode 2 where the showcase the early content of Episode 2 and showed the roadmap for the year showing SH mode and level cap increase in Oct. (although I kinda wished it was a +10 lvl cap increase over 5)
