'''Tea''' ({{ja|てぃー|Tii}}, ''Tea'') is a Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} player | '''Tea''' ({{ja|てぃー|Tii}}, ''Tea'') is a Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Kazuya}} and {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} player from Shiga Prefecture, {{b|Kansai|region}}, Japan who is currently living in Tokyo, [[Kantō]]. He is considered to be one of the greatest Japanese ''Ultimate'' players of all-time as well as one of the best players in the world in the first few years of the post-pandemic metagame. He is considered the greatest Pac-Man player of all-time and is the character's best-known representative, as well as one of the greatest Kazuya players of all-time alongside {{Sm|Riddles}} and the definitive best in the second half of 2024. Tea has won six majors and is the only Japanese player to have won more majors outside their region than inside, with his sole major win in Japan being at {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}}. Conversely, he is one of three players (alongside {{Sm|Zackray}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}) to have a major win in each of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s three superregions, having also won {{Trn|Thunder Smash 3: Clash of the Pandas}} in North America and {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} in Europe, among other major wins. | ||

He was first known internationally for placing 2nd at {{Trn|SoCal Regionals 2018}}, defeating {{Sm|falln}} and {{Sm|Raito}} along the way, and only losing to {{Sm|Elegant}}. However, his best-known performance in ''Smash 4'' took place at {{Trn|Umebura Smash 4 Final}}, the game's final major during their main competitive lifespan, where he placed 3rd after defeating a slew of top Japanese talent, including {{Sm|Kameme}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|KEN}}, and {{Sm|Kuro}}, by far the best performance from a ''Smash 4'' Pac-Man player at a major. | ||

{{incomplete|Tea's Kazuya playstyle}} | |||
Tea is a Kazuya player who is most known for his unorthodox yet somehow effective playstyle. More often than not he throws out moves like [[Electric Wind God Fist]] and [[Dragon Uppercut]] in neutral. Despite this, he prefers guaranteed damage and consistency instead of potential [[tech-chasing]] situations in early percentages especially when there are platforms interrupting his combos. | |||
Tea is a Pac-Man player who excels at combo games and usage of various [[Bonus Fruit]] items. He prefers to use Galaxian in lower percentages and Bell in mid or high percentages, using them as a kill confirm in many situations. He is also well-known to set up a mind-game situation consisting of his usage of Bell, often inducing opponent's mistake and landing a Bell into his forward Smash. Off-stage, Tea utilizes Pac-Man's impressive recovery options to recover from unexpected places. Another hallmark of Tea's playstyle is that he often utilizes Fire Hydrant to block opponent's movements, charge Bonus Fruit and edgeguard opponents. | Tea is also a Pac-Man player who excels at combo games and usage of various [[Bonus Fruit]] items.

However, Tea struggles when he deals with players with long-ranged attacks, due to the fact that he can't land his signature kill confirm with his Bell. This is evident in matches between {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} and {{Sm|KEN}} when the latter switched his character to {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}. | However, Tea struggles when he deals with players with long-ranged attacks, due to the fact that he can't land his signature kill confirm with his Bell.

Tea (てぃー, Tea) is a Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Kazuya and Pac-Man player from Shiga Prefecture, Kansai, Japan who is currently living in Tokyo, Kantō. He is considered to be one of the greatest Japanese Ultimate players of all-time as well as one of the best players in the world in the first few years of the post-pandemic metagame. He is considered the greatest Pac-Man player of all-time and is the character's best-known representative, as well as one of the greatest Kazuya players of all-time alongside Riddles and the definitive best in the second half of 2024. Tea has won six majors and is the only Japanese player to have won more majors outside their region than inside, with his sole major win in Japan being at Kagaribi 3. Conversely, he is one of three players (alongside Zackray and Glutonny) to have a major win in each of Ultimate's three superregions, having also won Thunder Smash 3: Clash of the Pandas in North America and Temple: Hermès Edition in Europe, among other major wins.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, he is considered to be one of the best Pac-Man players in the world along with Sinji, although due to his limited activity until the game's final year, he was mostly considered a hidden boss. He was first known internationally for placing 2nd at SoCal Regionals 2018, defeating falln and Raito along the way, and only losing to Elegant. However, his best-known performance in Smash 4 took place at Umebura Smash 4 Final, the game's final major during their main competitive lifespan, where he placed 3rd after defeating a slew of top Japanese talent, including Kameme, Abadango, KEN, and Kuro, by far the best performance from a Smash 4 Pac-Man player at a major.
On February 21st, 2020, both Tea and Kome were signed by SUSANOO GAMING8.[1] On July 1st, 2021, SUSANOO GAMING 8 and KURENAI GAMING were merged to form the gaming team GUREN (now known as Revo). [2] Exactly one year later, Tea has left the team. [3] On September 17th, 2022, Tea, Acola, and Gackt were signed by ZETA DIVISION. [4]
Playstyle[edit]
Tea is a Kazuya player who is most known for his unorthodox yet somehow effective playstyle. More often than not he throws out moves like Electric Wind God Fist and Dragon Uppercut in neutral. Despite this, he prefers guaranteed damage and consistency instead of potential tech-chasing situations in early percentages especially when there are platforms interrupting his combos.
Tea is also a Pac-Man player who excels at combo games and usage of various Bonus Fruit items. He prefers to use Galaxian in lower percentages and Bell in mid or high percentages, using them as a kill confirm in many situations. He is also well-known to set up a mind-game situation consisting of his usage of Bell, often inducing opponent's mistake and landing a Bell into his forward Smash. Off-stage, Tea utilizes Pac-Man's impressive recovery options to recover from unexpected places. Another hallmark of Tea's playstyle is that he often utilizes Fire Hydrant to block opponent's movements, charge Bonus Fruit and edgeguard opponents.
However, Tea struggles when he deals with players with long-ranged attacks, due to the fact that he can't land his signature kill confirm with his Bell. This is evident in matches between MkLeo, Sparg0, ProtoBanham and KEN when the latter switched his character to Sephiroth.

Trivia[edit]
- Tea likes to shout "Kazuya Mishima" whenever he takes stock in game versus certain players. This has since become a running joke amongst Japanese players where they would also say Kazuya Mishima. Tea himself would also tweet the words "KAZUYA MISHIMA" on Twitter from time to time.
- These jokes as well as Tea's success with the character have led some players to jokingly claim that Tea is the best Kazuya.
