Tifa Solo vs. "Top Secrets" [Hard]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2020
- Rules for this challenge is no materia allowed on allies, and they must be equipped with Enfeeblement Rings. No Gotterdamerung allowed. And of course no switching characters or giving allies commands. Everything else is fair game, even summons although I chose not to use them myself. Try to beat the mission with the fastest time possible, any character is allowed.
Build: Metal Knuckles for unparalleled raw physical damage. Even with double luck ups, Metal Knuckles crit about 30% harder than Purple Pains, and nearly as frequently. Chain Bangle mainly for the materia slots and also for high balanced defenses. And lastly Fury Ring, berserk status adds about 30% more damage to attacks and is essential to meeting many of the bosses damage checks.
Materia: Fire Materia linked to Elemental on Weapon, Healing, HP Up, Luck Up x2, Steadfast Block, Parry, ATB Stagger, and Skill Master. Bahamut for Summon Materia.
Regardless of what element you slot with elemental, your attacks will do 23% (when maxed) extra damage. Fire element is chosen purely for Shiva, who is impossible to stagger without it. Healing Materia for the sustain. Double Luck Up adds to your crit chance and is a considerable DPS boost. Steadfast Block is very important, not only does it reduce the damage you take but also builds your ATB and limit while blocking. Parry is important for mobility and eliminates knockback from blocking, also steadfast block also reduces the damage you take when you parry. ATB Stagger and Skill Materia are some of the best materia in the game and essential for one cycling bosses like Shiva and Fat Choco. I chose Bahamut as my summon purely for the stats, but with this being a speedrun I found summons in general were a time loss between the very long summon animations, ATB costs, and high magic resists of the bosses.

Honestly, Tifa’s the whole package
Imagine Ifrit's shock & awe at being summoned midfight because Bahamut was getting solo'd 🤣
LEVIATHAN: _tries to use Tidal Wave_
TIFA: *eyes flash red*
Tifas eyes are always red.
@@codyburton4976 Lol, well done. But "flash' implies that they are have extra light and red.
Omae wa mou shinderu!
NANI?!
Leviathan: NANI??!!!
When the prototype start backing off to camp in his own flame...
I felt his fear
He definietly learned what fear is right there
_One They Fear intensifies_
ah shit wrong game
Prototype: “ah hell nah... this b*itch crazy”
He probably thought "The hell? She's punching and kicking METAL.. HOW"
So satisfying seeing Tifa's combos going off
So unsatisfying not being able to control every skill. They could have given us square plus triangle and triangle plus circle as Namco would have with the Tales Series.
@@jamman7344 Boring
Ok, I can't even do this with a full team. You make me feel stupid for myself. Good job.
I guess it is actually easier to steer one character than orchestrating the whole team. It is definitely faster to do it with three but alone you may focus on staying alive and place the attacks better.
Bit late to the party but it's easier to solo as one character than try and organise a party. That and Tifa's combo's can deal ridiculous amounts of damage in quick time makes her the go to.
Right. I was barely able to complete Top Secrets with Cloud, Aeris and Barret after like 20-25 tries (hate you Bahamut) and here is someone beating this using one character. Oof.
There is always someone better than you at everything =(
Its because you used barret
@@JoshT-rb9gq Barrett is the best tank and healer in the game, what the hell are you on lol
Agreed but you dont need him for this. Check out channel shinryu I just beat it yesterday with his help of his video. Breaks it down
Set tifa as main, cloud, aerith like he does here in this video. Trust me. He beats it in like 2 minutes. Took me 04:56 minutes
Did it first try dont know whats so hard about it
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone posts ridiculous pro-level shit like this. That is amazing
I finally completed this yesterday, now I’m getting recommended someone doing it with ONLY TIFA. It took me hours of retrying to complete it with everyone.
My girl just dive kicked her way through the games super boss. This is some next level skill right here.
First time I saw Tifa destroying everyone I was incredibly impressed. Now its more impressive to not see her in the party at all lol.
Thanks so much for showing me how to be a boss with Tifa. Got good and whipped bahamut. Dodging his attacks felt so good. Pride and Joy was a breeze.
Same story in my case.
Thanks to watching this, I gave this mission another try, MAINLY using Tifa and I FINALLY completed that Top Secret challenge. Thanks for showing me the light!
I was upset that many people on stream hates tifa says she's not cut for this top secret battle. I gave em this XD
Yeah, they feel safe only because they use ranged Characters.
I took Cloud off the list to replace Tifa.
Main reason is because of Leviathan phase 2 where she would normally be useless, or if they just choose not to equip Parry on her... streamers don't really have the time to study the game like we do lmao
@@ubergamer2010 she is not useless,,leviathan battle is easy
Cloud and tifa focus for pressure, aerith use arcane ward and spam double
magic,, when enemy staggered, switch character on tifa, spam true strike
You can kill leviathan less than 4 minutes, easy
@@ubergamer2010 and why people playing the game when they don't want to study combat mechanic, duuh
I love how tifa just punches the shit out of a robot. Thats why i love her
As Jessie would say "OK! Now that was pretty cool!"
As I would say... that was badass! Rock n roll bud!
This is so nice, I watch this video over and over, so satisfying! :)
I am bad at this game. But watching this really helped me to watch for their patterns.
Good to hear Michael Lee
Dude me too! I barely get through any of the bigger bosses. I'm at chapter 8, hope I'll get the grip of this combat system someday
@@TheRikkuShak oh you will! Takes practice. I was able to get platinum last week and felt so accomplished. Currently on my third play thru on hard
@@juminlee Me too. This video is an eye opener.
This is soooo satisfying. I could watch this all day. I hear that Tifa sucks, and yet I've see videos where she can solo hard bosses on hard mode. You totally know how to use her and you make it look easy. Thumps up!!
Whaaat? Tifas the damage queen, and the only one who can increase your damage multiplier in staggered phase... Pretty much the definition of glass cannon.
I'm not as good as the guy in the vid but cloud and barret seem like the weaker ones to me. Aerith is stupid strong in magic and Tifa has the best physical damage, her parry makes her skillful as you can dodge nearly anything, and Dat multiplier
This is incredible.. very nice work.. and you have Tifa carrying the load vs Leviathan
This is way more impressive than the speed runs. GJ
Avalanche has guns... Tifa can do just as much damage with her fists and kicks. Maybe don't mess with her.
Dang.. my girl tifa isn't even bothered to equip fire elemental on her armour, solely rely to her fist and kick, you've earned my respect sir ( >.
This actually helped, thank you! Got the trophy
after 10 attempts 🔥
I love the uppercut, uppercut into divekick route. Very helpful against Bahamut and Pride&Joy.
I can feel the frustration when Pride and Joy is just camping out by the fire.
I was frustrated watching it lol. Cheap ass Pride and Joy.
Tifa: BRING IT! 😡
Square button: but I was pink this morning 😩😩😩😩
I got used to the game's rhythm without Tifa that when I use her, my thumb gets tired after spamming square.
I've seen frog Cloud beat Sephiroth, I know the frogs are really the ones pulling the weight here ;)
Bro please share a link! 😂
@@Phawks-Phire or ruclips.net/video/nB_Gxcq6yc0/видео.html for a shorter vid
Kermit agrees !
Man, how I love Tifa!
This is how I roll. Love Tifa. It's interesting this person fights most of the battles in Tifa's Chi Level 1 without increasing it until later. Seems like they do this because "whirling uppercut" is a key part of their combos and building pressure. I wonder if they knew you can still do it at the higher chi levels as well but you have to hold square to execute(plus it takes a little longer to execute in my opinion). Amazing playthrough! Freaking owned those summons.
I see you.... Putting in that MAJOR work with Tifa.😎
Very impressive. Well done!
It's visually stunning
The virtual arena itself could have been so badass. The opportunities are endless, but they gave us this blue cyber space thing.
Holy shit that tifa ninja skills was satisfying 😳 👌
Two thumbs up, good job.
I don't know why I assumed the berserk accessory would only give you berserk for the first couple min of the fight, so I never used it. And metal knuckles outdamages the purple pain even if you have 2 luck up materia? I guess purple pain is better suited for healing and magic based attacks then. I'll take note of these things when I want to do a solo playthrough. Awesome video.
Tifa: *Takes down a Water Dragon God*
Also Tifa: "Hard to take pride in that."
Way to go! I find these more impressive than speed runs with the gotterradadama item
Wow thanks for reminding me how bad I am at the game
Finally, beat him. It took me a good bit. Got the other fights down mostly, but I struggled with the 4th fight.
Awesome work. I'm still trying to get past this mission and its starting to really frustrate me, then I pop in and see people doing it solo lol.
The key is really to stick close to Shiva - her projectiles will do quite a number on you if you try to keep away from her.
@@AoDAzrael Shiva hasn't really been the problem. I can consistently get to Leviathan, but then get absolutely wrecked. But today is the day I sit down and try this strat out (watching the vid now to refresh my memory, then off to the ps4)
If you fail in Levi or Bahamut, do you start from there or go back from Shiva again?
@@Fool-arxana You go all the way back to Shiva which is where I am at. Every time I go against Levi, he does a burst attack and dives under the level to move positions before I can pressure him. Not sure what the hell I'm doing wrong lol
@@Fool-arxana You're just fighting the summons in the VR missions from Chadley right? You just start from the summon you selected. I honestly had a bit more trouble with Leviathan than Bahamut because my materia weren't as leveled yet and also because I didn't have as good an understanding of the combat system at that time.
All this without the Gotterdamerung accessory. Would have been much easier to use that + refocus at the start of each match. Very impressive
They did each character amazingly well, but I feel extra attention went to tide (thank god if true) because she is just so fun and satisfying once you start doing the combo chains.
Tifa*
By watching this video, I finally completed this mission. Controlling Tifa only is much easier than with 3 person.
Yeah... Cloud supposed to be a Jenova-Level Soldier but he doesn't rack damages as much as Tifa does.
She also very fast in dodging attack.
yup solo are better
So thats the use for that accessory.
José Henrique or if a helitrooper steals it from you, they turn into a Frog
Yes it says there. Use it to humiliate the secret bosses like if they were chapter 1 guards
Tifa being given the respect she deserves in this game since Monty Oum
dude seeing those consistent parry dodges while bahamut does his melee swings is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen
such devastation. it was your intention though. will try to do this challenge too after completing the game :)
Actually incredible
This is incredible!
Great video very impressive 👍 quick question though, I just wondered why you are doing just aerial attacks on leviathans head rather than attacking the body? I’m just curious is it the damage amounts or does attacking the head interrupt certain attacks?
Pride and Joy = Mikasa on Titan
Simply impressive
Awesome! I been working on this too, my movement and parry timings need improvement though. I just wish they tuned the game rewards/pickups for hard mode differently though. Dunno why all these chests with items are around and the sim rewards are items when you can't use them lol.
@Bjorn Ironsides I'm aware...but that's not a justified reason. I'm just saying I think it's pointless. Why would you go back to normal after a hard playthrough? Only reason to replay the game after hard anyway is to dig into story hints and in that case I just played my third time on easy so I can just focus on watching the story.
amazing job wow
Worked up an ocean of sweat!
Wow! I tried this many times to finish this top secret but no luck. After I watch your video and tride your build just wow I finished it! Thanks for the video bro!
Only thing missing is the material build, beautiful vid though, you're built different.
So Pride & Joy Prototype is basically going to end up being Proud Clod, which Heidegger and Scarlet pilot during the return to Midgar? It looks like the same shape, just smaller and in VR. Wouldn't surprise me if they have Chadley make the thing for Shinra.
I'm really hoping that with the advent of next generation hardware that they can make Proud Clod and the Weapons massive.
"Hard to take pride in that." wtf Square? Good job! Bahamut kills me every time.
Tifa is AWESOME!
Holy fuck, the way you control Tifa is incredible! Very fast and fluid! What's your materia, weapon, and equipment?
Wow well done!
Tifa's a monster!!
Yeah. Cloud even said she is crazy 😜
This is so cool and impressive. Wow. I'm trying to beat him with 3 still
this is so awesome to watch. what if tifa had her own game with this combat. OOOO:
HotChips&Lies fingers crossed you can select your party in part 2 so that you can only play with Tifa if you want to lol
Tifa gettin straight physical!! Dayum!
Divekick and true strike combo is amazing
Tifa is the best,, badass
And this fight without equip best accessoris in this game,, i think tifa can destroy top secret mission under 10 minutes if you use gotterdammerung accessoris
Stagger godness
If I was Ifrit and I saw Tifa just beat the shit out of Bahamut, I'd be like "hey, I forgot... I have something on the stove! BYE!" and flee like I stole something.
Fantastic
SUPER TIFAAAA, LOVE HER and her ability in the game so much, so enjoyable when playing her
Tifa with the parry materia = M.C. hammer, can't touch this.
El Bottoo Tifa is a beast. Once I got used to her combos, I don’t want to use anyone else. I pretty much use her exclusively now whenever she's available.
@El Bottoo Tifa has the highest DPS potential of all characters actually. Its just that she is harder to master since her gameplan is not as straight forward as the others and you dont have a clear direction on what moves you should be using. Since for example, this guy here is doing max DPS using divekick, but I have seen guys using chi trap or starshower to do ridiculous damage as their primary skill.
As opposed to all the Cloud videos which are just counter and punish stance rince and repeat, all Aeriths are magic and all Barrets are ranged style (theres some videos of Melee Barret but its not optimal).
But Tifa can reward you with better timings if you are willing to put up the brains, not to mention she is fun af.
@El Bottoo You are throwing a lot of assumptions and generalities as if they were gospel when they are not. You assume almost no one masters the game, you assume everyone just wants to get the limit break artifact and call it a day, you assume everyone wants it easy and wants to do everything as easy as possible, whats even the point in playing hard mode then?. This is how YOU play the game. But in reality, everyone does their thing, and a lot of players actually like to master the game and keep playing getting all they can out of it.
And btw, your definition of tier list is not accurate, while ease of use is part of the ecuation, other things come into play. Potential on paper its worthless and doesnt come into play, which is what Tifa would be if all of her potential was really hard to exploit, but its not, its actually quite easy, its just not a dead give away like the other chars, so her potential its actually practical, in this case chars like her cant be low tier with potential like that, it doesnt require insane execution or knowing enemy patters, just some build knowledge and combo routes and you are good to go wreck havoc. Also, are we really talking tiers in a single player RPG game that only has 4 playable characters? come on now.
Its only about who executes the roles better, and with optimal builds it goes like this: Tifa is the best close-range DPS.
Aerith is the best ranged DPS.
Barret is the best tank.
Cloud is balanced while being a close second to Tifa's close range.
Simple as that, no need to get into tiers for this game.
@@alexferrier5732 . Totally agree with you.
@El Bottoo Again, you continue to throw assumptions, assuming Im a kid just because you couldnt continue with the argument like a grown man with words so you resorted to throw insults to feel better about yourself swinging like a child, who is the kid now? throwing random "facts" just by looking at the platinum trophies of one platform, assuming I dont have a job because I have just invested 50 hours into a game that came out 1 month ago, but I dont exoect anymore from your type, the internet type who talks big behind a screen. Peace out.
Next level - Frog solo
PS huge relief getting this trophy done and watching this now cause I’m sure I’d feel absolutely terrible
Tifa’s the best character in the whole game and I cannot wait to team her up with Yuffie! The combos and possibilities are endless!!!
HOLY COW! To be able to solo the whole challenge using Tifa is just Godlike! SUBSCRIBEEEEEEEEEEE
Dang tifa tanks damage well. Not sure if also there was good RNG in this run? can the bosses become more or less violent on different runs or their aggressiveness/ patterns usually the same?
Eric Savala the fights are mostly consistent but there is a little bit of RNG involved. Believe it or not Fat Chocobo is one of the most RNG, if the first add is a Bomb instead of a Tonberry it can really screw up the fight. Ifrits behavior can also vary a bit. Sometimes when he first spawns he just hangs around waiting for you to come to him and other times he charges immediately. And in this run having Pride and Joy sit in his own lava pools was super bad RNG, I think his AI broke at the end to be honest lol.
Stagger QUEEN. 🙌
STAGGER QUEEEEEENNNNNN
This video only staggered the first two fights. The other 3 were staggerless and just insane dps lol
@@codyburton4976 Doesn't mean she isn't a (THE) queen. And is a stagger queen in general compared to the others.
@@GuillermoSmyser oh I agree. I was saying shes even better than just being about staggers since she can dps to death the hardest bosses without it.
I finally understand the purpose of that accessory that turns players into toads
everyone gangster until a summon starts using summons
For fuck sake man, i can smell Tifa's sweet and sour sweat just looking at this video..godly
very impressive... i believe it takes alot of practise and tries to memorize boss moves and mechanics. You didn't even use deadly dodge, focus strike and overpower at all, guess i'm not not playing her right. Uppercut + diving kick ftw.
Overpower should only be used to interrupt casting abilities by shoving enemies, which doesn't really work on these bosses
Whirling uppercut + divekick 👌
Insane!!!!
Finally beat hell house on hard mode, came to see this rubbing in that I truly suck at this game
My man really tried to camp you out in the lava
Essa música de batalha contra o chocobo gordo é fantástica!
I've been using the claws for tifa with lightning elemental materia
It has the strongest magic i have atm.
Is phys damage best even with elemental mat?
Brandon Roberge in this particular mission physical damage is more effective due to most of the bosses having greater resistances to magic. Metal Knuckles have other really important boosts too alongside high attack power like 10% bonus damage from behind.
@@wholewheatrotini6712 i remember the back attack perk now that you mention it!
Which ones the purple pains? (I think thats their name)
I somehow missed getting true strike and hear its pretty good but have no clue how to get it
@@PrimevalDemon purple pain got reprieve(survive with 1 HP). In a treasure chest in CH.16 after tifa falls down trying to get the keycard
@@elmoxy97 I'm shocked i missed it
I was so thorough
Oh my God this seems impossible to do . I can manage shiva and chocobo but leviathan just doesn't stop moving and before I've done like any damage he instantly kills me with tidal wave. So frustrating 😫
Dude, toady I beat it for the first time (full party). I am so fucking impressed.
While I have to admit, I was screaming at the tv why aren’t you using focused strike with Tifa when Leviathan was pressured to stagger him (because it is carved in my brain to do so). Haha nvm.
Bravo! May I know the loadout? I see you didn’t use elemental on armor or insta limit break item (guessing you were using Fury Ring).
This looks fun. I'll probably not attempt this, but it encouraged me to want to do a solo run of the game in hard mode.
Awesome run, just kinda think that using your elemental Fire on armor would make the toughest parts of the fight much smoother and faster. Any reason you decided on putting it on weapon instead?
Dps over protection everyday,
If you have the skill.
For the rest of us mere mortals. Putting it on armor saves us from ifrit cockblocking our bahamut combos. Also helps with pride and joy, but that fight was pretty easy anyway
impressive. Do you need the two luck up materias maxed out or can you do it with 30% or 40% on each?
Konrad Olszówka I would say it’s worth it to max them out. All of the bosses have very strict dps checks to beat them before they use their ultimate, or in fat chocobos case before you get overrun with adds, and even with maxed materia and perfect execution it still comes down to the wire.
I have Tifa (fav character) stats maxed with her weapon, all abilities, and best limit break. So if I just use her only and not switching to play other characters then I too could do this?
Where did the Barrier come from around 2:20?
Awesome video!
VonZuben thanks! The barrier came from a random carbuncle right at the end, they will cast Ruby Light (barrier) on your party whenever they spawn but they are rare.
Awesome, can u please showcase your build?
Julio GS good idea, I updated the description to include my build and my thought process behind it.
Congratulations! You’ve won items you can’t use. 😂
Which is why I dislike hard and it no point of playing simulation, unless if you're trophy hunter
@@PlaystationGamerZX lucky me. I played chapt 17 before doind the rest on hard so yeeei.
I got mine on chapter 9 of my hard play through and I got plat. I got to use it a lot.
Lol. I wish it just a no potion/ether restriction.
Is this rocky or FF7? lol very nice & well done.
