Let the man change it up if he wants; you'll live. Speaking of which, Middi, maybe you should start lobby dodging or "rage" quit if you get family house again. That might change the probably in the AI one way or another because 80% feels like you haven't payed for the full game.
It absolute does more than that. Strength increases how fast you win the encounters. I assume you watched Artik's video, he unfortunately got the wrong idea about strength/grappling.
I survived by watching you play and learning from you! As well as, playing loads of killer! Now, when I'm a killer and I find a survivor. I find myself yelling through my teeth.. " GET OVER HERE "
Love the quality of content in your builds. Lots of builds I see someone show their perks and the gameplay barely or doesn't at all show the perks in action and you always get good use out of them and give us several games. Keep it up m8
Hey middi, I figured out that strength doesn't make you win quicker in a close encounter, it just increases stun time. So u don't need high strength on Julie to win a close encounter.
Im pretty sure strength does matter atleast a tiny bit, because if you use Ana base strength at 30 with the grappler perk it takes longer to win than Leland with 40 strength and the grappler perk. I’ve tested this, with both characters at 40 toughness.
@OpiumHarvester I've tested Julie with 15 strength and Leland with 50 strength, I didn't see a difference. I personally rock empowered on both of them now.
14:30 I played TCM for about 5 hours this morning and was on Family house EVERY SINGLE GAME apart from TWO. They were on slaughter. Not a single game on Nancys house (my fave). I dont think i even got more than one escape every family house game either. It has 100% veen increased in chances to get it and its driving me bloody mad as someone that only really plays victim 🤷🏻♀️ 17:25 I use my mic every single game telling everyone exactly what im doing/planning/have done and its disheartening having no one do it for me/reply to me/SAY THANKS/say ANYTHING. Im a connie main too so communicating is so essential and important as I'm basically the one with the keys... 🥺 more people like this guy + me please 🤣 lastly, you are a FIEND with the health. no wonder i can never find heals you pick them up for shits and giggles when you dont even need it lmfao
jeeesssuuusss bruning hp in the 3rd game, they really need to fix it so hp pots either drop to the ground or they return to their spawn location when dropped, aswell as if you cant uti9lize half of the healing from the potion, then you cant use it yet
Perk activates the second you win close encounter but you are still stuck in animation for few seconds, vulnerable for insta kill if another family shows up lol
28:19 I always thought it would be cool if they added a victim that could craft items. I noticed that there are a lot of cupboards and cabinets in this game. Maybe the victim can search through them and gather certain materials in order to make their own healing ointment, lockpick, or a shank of some kind. Maybe they could even craft a makeshift fuse or valve handle.
25:43 you could've used the fuse instead of the health potion, because fuse and valve don't disappear and then switch the fuse with the health from the floor to save the health
You mentioned wishing you can drop an item and I bet the next victim will be able to do something like that. They’ll probably have the ability to throw one of their held items to make a noise ping to distract the family and/or(most likely and) get a brief stun on them if the victim lands a direct hit. Then as the victim levels up they can have things like increased distance, longer stun, etc.
I don’t understand how they thought when u win the close encounter the perk activates while ur still in the animation instead of activating when the animation is done🤦🏽♂️
By the way! Your chance to win close encounters is also based on your current hp. NOT your current hp%. So having toughness actually affects your chance to win encounters the same amount that strength does 🙃🙃🙃 I hope they fix this, but currently 30 strength is all you're ever gonna want.
Hmm see you say that but i was julie with no points into toughness and still win my close encounters easy, the same can be said about danny. he feels like his natural hp base is high yet he has the worst winrate for close encounters
I am not saying strength has no effect, by all means. Strength is A STAT. But considering it doesn't do half of what the description says (like opening crawl spaces faster), it's pretty much ONLY a fighting modifier. Yet with 50 toughness on literally any character, like danny, you will win when 30%+ hp. This is of course subjective to me, as maybe I spam to different degrees on the F-button, or whatever have you. But in my experience, the best stat for fighting and winning consistently is toughness.@@OkMiddi
other fun fact! Stun duration is unaffected by strength. Tested this in custom game and there was literally no difference from 15 str connie compared to a 50 str leland. Again, unfortunately str doesn't do half of what the description details. Strength basically only: Affects time to kick gen and modifies chance of winning encounter@@OkMiddi Also noteworthy: I tested this with 2 recordings of each for control, and there was a error margin of 3 frames(recording 60fps)... so barely one 20th of a second in difference between 15 and 50 strength. Counted the frames in Davinci resolve haha
Whenever I play Danny, I just get looped by leather face and some other family member. They just let the others escape while they just chase me the whole game 💀
I wish that they would just put the maps as a whole on like a 5 to 10 minute counter so the maps would constantly be flowing, and you'll never get the same map over and over again
strength does not help you win close encounters faster or better, only amps up the stun duration! more toughness would help you 100x more then strength. been tested and confirmed by the devs.
@@OkMiddi I played with Danny without increasing his strength and won a close encounter in around 3 seconds with full health, when I played with Leland with 45 strength, I won a close encounter, with full heath, around 3 seconds just like with Danny, so... Idk, I guess strength only affects the stun effect
Fun fact: strength does not affect you winning a fight it only affected stun time after winning. But, toughness does. If affects how much health you have and not what percentage of health it is.
I'm not sure if it's possible with Julie's skill tree, but there's another speed perk that gives you a boost every time you alert a chicken or make a bone trap go off. I believe it's a 10% speed boost for 15 seconds at level 3.
For me it's slaughter house. I might get a new map every 3rd game. It's brutal since I play Bubba. Just gets exhausting after a while covering slaughter.
You really want to leave the past behind first no evil dead and now not even the WHAT IS GOING ON YOU LOT really sad i had some good memories with these evil dead videos .i guess i just have to move on
strength doesnt affect whetwr you win a close enounter, it affects how long they are stunned for. if you want to win more add toughness as health defines if you win more than anything else
Oh really?? I actually been hearing people saying this more and more lately - I lose them full health when gramps aint level 1 sometimes too so no perk to make family more likely to win etc and wonder wth went wrong haha! guess they just better, clear skill issue on my part @@OkMiddi
I swear Middi was about to hit us bad news with that "Hello" 😂
"I've lost all interest in this game." 😧
Tis a sad day when we're not middi's lot 😢
YOU LOTTT
@OkMiddi Ty

a 40 min video from Middi???! let’s goooo
The “hello” intro stun locked me for a bit
Not me saying “ what’s going on you lads middi here” before the video starts then got hit with that sad intro 😂 I love the accent man
that "hello" at 0:00 was a jumpscare
35:56 when I tell you both me and my bf CACKLED at this moment 🤣🤣🤣 bricked up Middi “JESUS”
Love your videos!!❤
Btw the strength attribute doesnt help you win close encounters it just stuns the family members for longer
Ya it’s Health that affects close encounters
It does help if they have suffocating grip if u have low strength u 100% lose
Yeah toughness over strength always
please read the strength description CAREFULLY @@sixfo684
It absolute does more than that. Strength increases how fast you win the encounters. I assume you watched Artik's video, he unfortunately got the wrong idea about strength/grappling.

i watched this whole vid without realising it was 40 mins. Time flies with Middi :)
Nancy's poison perk is so strong that there is 0 point to using Sissy
they just need to remove the whole perk
no? that's stupid af.
Love your vids, no pressure coming up with new vid ideas, i would totally watch just casual vids from you. Much love
I like it when meddi does that angry voice 😂 that’s your signature 🔥
Love the quality of content in your builds. Lots of builds I see someone show their perks and the gameplay barely or doesn't at all show the perks in action and you always get good use out of them and give us several games. Keep it up m8
Hey middi, I figured out that strength doesn't make you win quicker in a close encounter, it just increases stun time. So u don't need high strength on Julie to win a close encounter.
which means more toughness, which will actually help win those close encounters.
@DefinitelyNotTheRealFugzor exactly. Since the more health you have, the easier to win. The bigger health pool means easier close encounters.
seen that on other person vid to was surprised 😂😂
Im pretty sure strength does matter atleast a tiny bit, because if you use Ana base strength at 30 with the grappler perk it takes longer to win than Leland with 40 strength and the grappler perk. I’ve tested this, with both characters at 40 toughness.

For a second I was worried he wasn't gonna say the thing, then he did and it calmed me down.
he's after every hitchhiker since the head cheese incident
Dont guve up on us middi keep your relationship with TCM your one of the TH-camrs keeping this game breathing
Middi, I hope we get two 'Oy you lot's in your next video to make up for that 'hello.'
Plz dont stop making Texas chainsaw videos. Always a good day when you post a video 💪
14:30 I played TCM for about 5 hours this morning and was on Family house EVERY SINGLE GAME apart from TWO. They were on slaughter. Not a single game on Nancys house (my fave).

Great video Middi, you really outdid yourself with this one
Btw another TH-camr did an experiment and it appears toughness is a bigger factor in close encounters
I agree that family house is popping up a lot. I got it 5 times in a row last night. By the fifth lobby I just closed the game instantly
Perk activates the second you win close encounter but you are still stuck in animation for few seconds, vulnerable for insta kill if another family shows up lol
Yea that shit is dum idk why they thought that made sense
That first match was so good.
42 minute midi video?? My day has been blessed
28:19 I always thought it would be cool if they added a victim that could craft items. I noticed that there are a lot of cupboards and cabinets in this game. Maybe the victim can search through them and gather certain materials in order to make their own healing ointment, lockpick, or a shank of some kind. Maybe they could even craft a makeshift fuse or valve handle.
With how muscular Julie is you’d think she’d have high strength to begin with
"Hello 🙂" made me so confused 😭😭
42 minute middi video? we eating good tonight
The game may be on a decline but I look forward to these vids
25:43 you could've used the fuse instead of the health potion, because fuse and valve don't disappear and then switch the fuse with the health from the floor to save the health
42 min middi vid? Hell yeah
I would love sanguine shadow, cover charge, and cover recovery. Make those hiding spots a safe haven
My man!
Less goo, more middi content
You mentioned wishing you can drop an item and I bet the next victim will be able to do something like that.

'Hello'
julie got some cake man
she got bunda
Better grab my popcorn cuz this gonna be a long one
Toughness (health) and button tap speed determines your grabbling win success. Strength determines how long they are stunned.
I tried to restart the video 8 times cause I thought I missed the intro 😂
Strength doesn’t affect how easily you can win close encounters
Dude I’d never comment but I use that exact Julie build constantly I’ll switch it up a bit depending the map.
Strength has nothing to do with grappling it’s actually toughness that you need to upgrade
Left a like for the algorithm :)
Hey Middi strength has nothing to do with winning grappling. Strength is only for stun duration of a family member.
Middi is the best tcm TH-camr
By the way! Your chance to win close encounters is also based on your current hp. NOT your current hp%. So having toughness actually affects your chance to win encounters the same amount that strength does 🙃🙃🙃 I hope they fix this, but currently 30 strength is all you're ever gonna want.

That's fair, i just like using strength sometimes for the increase stun duration + gen escapes

Thanks for letting me know
A long Middi video? Fucking sign me up. 🤌🏻
Whenever I play Danny, I just get looped by leather face and some other family member. They just let the others escape while they just chase me the whole game 💀
I froze when you called us out in the 5th game 😔
Hey. I’m hearing toughness helps with close encounters and not strength. Just something to think about.
Strength only helps with the stun duration 👍
@@SuperCraagstrength and having high health is how you win close encounters
35:55 was too funny just stopped mid sentence
Strength does no affect your fighting with the family.
I wasn't expecting 42 minutes but who cares it's middi🎉
Rip fight or flight and bomb squad
that intro made me uneasy how npc vibes it was
WHATS GOIN ON YOU LOTSS
Julie lookin kinda thicc👀
He didn’t call me a lot
I really thought I clicked on the wrong video.
noooo
He got this idea from me btw ✌️ however I have another idea what if you added jumpscare. Wouldn't that be 40% increased movement speed
I wish that they would just put the maps as a whole on like a 5 to 10 minute counter so the maps would constantly be flowing, and you'll never get the same map over and over again
All victims would avoid playing family house on the 10 minute timer haha
Middi will you ever revisit evil dead? Like do a TBT type of vid one day?
you play league! would u ever consider doing a video on off meta and silly league builds?
I wish i could but i don't think anyone would actually be interested in it :'( would have to make a seperate channel fori t
Middi strength doesnt effect how fast you graple
Middi have you seen the eight legged Chinese man
strength does not help you win close encounters faster or better, only amps up the stun duration! more toughness would help you 100x more then strength. been tested and confirmed by the devs.
Strength has nothing to do with winning a close encounter, it depends on your health bar according to tcm
No build is "dangerous" when you run choose win or extra DRIP imo
Close encounters aren’t based off of strength, it depends off your health, so it’s toughness.
Says who? Julie has 25 toughness at base and i still win encounters with johnny with 20% hp
Strength is specifixally stated to affect confronting family members.
Very wrong. It's based on strength stat, but if your health is reduced it lowers the effect of strength.
strength only effects the stun after the close encounter. it's scales off health
@@OkMiddi I played with Danny without increasing his strength and won a close encounter in around 3 seconds with full health, when I played with Leland with 45 strength, I won a close encounter, with full heath, around 3 seconds just like with Danny, so... Idk, I guess strength only affects the stun effect
Middi strength doesn’t affect close encounters health does so spec into more health for that!! Also love the vids! 😁
How odd I never get family House the main one I get is the slaughterhouse
I heard close encounters is based off of toughness not strength.
Ik suprised you didn't use jump scare. Speed boost for hitting charms. It feels like Playing macro kart grabbing items for speed.
Strength does not help with close encounters
Fun fact: strength does not affect you winning a fight it only affected stun time after winning. But, toughness does. If affects how much health you have and not what percentage of health it is.
middi I just learned strength doesnt increase your chance of winning a grapple toughness does strength been useless this entire time.
Strength doesn’t affect grapple
Even if it doesn't effect the grapple win rate it makes the stun longer so i've got a space cap to escape
I'm not sure if it's possible with Julie's skill tree, but there's another speed perk that gives you a boost every time you alert a chicken or make a bone trap go off. I believe it's a 10% speed boost for 15 seconds at level 3.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
For me it's slaughter house. I might get a new map every 3rd game. It's brutal since I play Bubba. Just gets exhausting after a while covering slaughter.
Hello 😂😂
Please never say hello at the start again I need the og intro
Hey you need better toughness not strength. Strength doesn’t actually help for encounters, how much health you have does.
You really want to leave the past behind first no evil dead and now not even the WHAT IS GOING ON YOU LOT really sad i had some good memories with these evil dead videos .i guess i just have to move on
Strength doesn’t affect ability to win close encounters, instead higher strength allows stun duration to be increased
strength doesnt affect whetwr you win a close enounter, it affects how long they are stunned for. if you want to win more add toughness as health defines if you win more than anything else
Toughness does nothing either, was getting into close encounters with johnny with 25 base toughness at 20% hp and still winning
Oh really?? I actually been hearing people saying this more and more lately - I lose them full health when gramps aint level 1 sometimes too so no perk to make family more likely to win etc and wonder wth went wrong haha! guess they just better, clear skill issue on my part @@OkMiddi
Strength doesn’t determine the win for fighting right? Just ups the stun time
Ive tested it, strength dosent help with close encounters!! You could have 15 or 50 strength, dosent matter.
Its all in the hp. Toughness would be better for a grappler build
NOOOOOO
Not watching anymore unless you go back to original intro! 😡
