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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
@@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)
@@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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Excellent work, Tifa is by the the most interesting character to fight as. Her style is fun and dynamic. I think the Leviathan fight doesn't do the combat engines any favours. The camera and lock-on make it a massive chore.
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.
I got three things from this video: 1) show this video to whoever says this game doesn't give you soul-like challenge, 2) Tifa is OP if used by the 3) BOSS Rotini
I know you mentioned that you equipped the fire to weapon for main Shiva. But, if you maxed it out its a huge gain later on too. For example, when ifirt gets summoned all his atks would heal you that's to the link bonus and lvl 3 and then also from prototype. His fire atks that heal you ( I combined that with the use of deadly dodge ) I didn't need to heal once after ifirt entered the fight.
I’m sure the run could be optimized a lot, this was quite a while ago and I haven’t really revisited the game since to try to clean it up. Shiva was actually the ultimate gatekeeper out of all the fights here for this challenge, as I needed to close out the fight before diamond dust. And the best solution I was able to come up with without changing metal knuckles (this was also intended to be a pseudo speedrun) was putting fire elemental on the weapon. To absorb fire damage I would need a second fire+elemental combo on my armor, but then I would have to sacrifice two luck ups to fit it. And trust me after dozens of attempts the difference between two luck ups and zero is massive and made the other fights nearly impossible as well because they all have a timing that you have to beat them by or you wipe. It would have been nice to have but ultimately I decided that fire elemental armor was a luxury that, as proven, wasn’t necessary to win. However it WAS hilariously cruel for the last boss to randomly stop and sit in his own fire and deny me my sub 10 minute victory lol.
@@wholewheatrotini6712 ohh for sure man. And yeah the was pretty funny. Also just great job the only reason I beat it was with all 3 and have fire elemental maxed on hard-edged. Which is why I mentioned the healing you get from it maxed you don't need it slotted into an armor slot for the healing buff I received a fair amount from it linked just to the weapon. I also appreciate the build break down really want to give it a whirl. Haven't played around with the bezerk ring.
well, i am sure somewhere in the world right now there is a japanese kid who is making a video on how to beat pride and joy with only aerith , no materia, using one hand, while blind folded. . jokes aside, its not about the tifa's combo in this video. its the parry. if u look at it the strategy he uses is actually very simple. upper cut and dive kick. and parry himself away from dmg and repeat, occasionally healing. he never unbridled bcuz he needs the upper cut. also parry himself to the enemy's back. the key here is not the combo or set up. its simply the parry.
So those little slides are enabled by Parry Materia? What's the condition that allows you to do them? Do you have to be responding to enemy input, or are you allowed to just do them on command? I'd like to be this good some day, but in the meantime I'm okay with just making minor changes to make my cleverly-balanced one-on-one solo shows more entertaining. ;D
Pensive Scarlet parry materia gives you an extra command, pressing r1+circle makes you do quick little dodges. What’s great is that in addition to the speedier and more responsive dodges, you are also considered blocking during those animations (while doing a tiny bit of contact damage yourself). So it actually pairs with Steadfast blocking really well, as it will reduce the damage you take if you parry an attack, and increases the ATB you generate. The downside however is that you can’t use deadly dodge after a parry, only regular dodges.

Honestly, Tifa’s the whole package
Imagine Ifrit's shock & awe at being summoned midfight because Bahamut was getting solo'd 🤣
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"

Same story in my case.

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
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
I can feel the frustration when Pride and Joy is just camping out by the fire.

All this without the Gotterdamerung accessory. Would have been much easier to use that + refocus at the start of each match. Very impressive

well, i am sure somewhere in the world right now there is a japanese kid who is making a video on how to beat pride and joy with only aerith , no materia, using one hand, while blind folded.
.
jokes aside, its not about the tifa's combo in this video. its the parry. if u look at it the strategy he uses is actually very simple. upper cut and dive kick. and parry himself away from dmg and repeat, occasionally healing. he never unbridled bcuz he needs the upper cut. also parry himself to the enemy's back. the key here is not the combo or set up. its simply the parry.
Keep those gloves up boo
When FFVII becomes a fighting game
YES!
Next level - Frog solo
Very impressive. Well done!
So those little slides are enabled by Parry Materia? What's the condition that allows you to do them? Do you have to be responding to enemy input, or are you allowed to just do them on command? I'd like to be this good some day, but in the meantime I'm okay with just making minor changes to make my cleverly-balanced one-on-one solo shows more entertaining. ;D
Pensive Scarlet parry materia gives you an extra command, pressing r1+circle makes you do quick little dodges. What’s great is that in addition to the speedier and more responsive dodges, you are also considered blocking during those animations (while doing a tiny bit of contact damage yourself). So it actually pairs with Steadfast blocking really well, as it will reduce the damage you take if you parry an attack, and increases the ATB you generate. The downside however is that you can’t use deadly dodge after a parry, only regular dodges.
