About
Chalk this one up as one of the (many) skills that have been performed by Elvire Teza and end of list. Because who else would ever? It’s a Pak salto but initiated from a German giant and thankfully is considered its own skill and no one has gone back and tried to pretend that it’s actually two separate skills. In a shocking stroke of wisdom, the WTC went back for the 2022 code update and upgraded this element by a tenth. Not that it’s going to make anyone start doing it, but…warranted.

Being too difficult to describe, the only convenient way to refer to this skill is as the Teza, but since there are so many ridiculous Teza’s across the events, the Teza Pak is helpful differentiation. You could also call this the Teza I since it’s the transition she started with. Later, she switched to doing a bail out of the German giant instead of Pak, and the bail version would become the Teza II.
