Spill the TEA
Imo, TEA is the funnest Ultimate. The music is bopping, the mechs are very satisfying to resolve (even if they lose their edge quickly), also how well the music and the mechs all sync up in Prime phase for this great feedback loop between damage time and solve mechanics time.
BJCC is also my favorite phase/mech in the game. An open ended mechanic that while certain rules and conditions have to be met, you can solve it so many different ways to get the correct ending result. While pf standardizing it has made people forget that, doesnt change what a great premise it is for a mechanic and phase.
TEA is definitely where an ultimate should be. not too easy , not too hard. once you cleared. it's almost impossible to fuck up on reclear but there's still a little chance.
The SAM I did 16 clears of TEA with never died to stillness, and I'm still malding about it lol, he holds it over the rest of us. I guess it is fair though, his doll would fall victim to his stupid good crit rng.
I still think TEA is my favorite ultimate, and it was my first one as well. BJCC onwards is so much fun. Also I don't think I've never been as tilted as I was when I fucked up the tank busters in perfect 3 pulls in a row the night before my first clear. I legit stayed up all night going frame by frame on my recording, looking at Xeno's pov to instill into me when to invuln that shit. I was so mad at myself for fucking that shit up lol.
Wormhole clicked with me really fast. The strat my group used made it so easy to know what to do that I memorized it in no time. There was a clip of me fucking up at the start, and you see me calmly running through the middle of the arena before it all goes off to get to the correct spot. That was how confident I was with that mechanic, just one of those that I just got. That being said if I did wormhole blind, it would be a different story, I had the benefit of it mostly being solved by the time I got there.
Super glad you mentioned the enrage. It's the best enrage in the entire games. Just when I thought they couldn't beat the UWU enrage, BAM. I think what I like most about it is the decision to jail which raid members first. Still recovering from the one time the 2nd person got too close while the 1st person got jailed and got them both stopped in time.
Isn't it crazy how honey mustard tastes so great, but if you mix nutella with mustard it becomes absolutely disgusting?
Not having video showing mechanic and fun is big L.
Chat real goofed, by spooking vod review. Everyone in chat NEED to shave their head in shame.
Don’t make them drink the TEA. An unconscious person cannot consent to TEA
