[spoilers] this ending is awkward

[Poma]

So I was doing the final challenge, for the last round I've provided my flask that costs 4180, the opponent provides like 3600 or something and the host goes "yo not even close, Silvie wins". Then the whole epic cutscence happens and the boss is like "mwahahaha everyone forgot what happened, you'll have to do it again" and repeats the round betting his flask for the same price. The host just goes again "yo not even close, Silvie wins". Was kinda funny.

This is true, the last one is kinda.. Oddly balanced, and the concept of the punishment is underwhelming. Though if it's any consolation, the difficulty comes from having an extra round without resetting your stress. So if you spent a few turns struggling, as Robin gives you 15+ stress per turn, if you were to go through all 3 potions... It would clearly be an obstacle to do a fourth round with a lot of stress already. The concept is there, but poorly executed I feel.

Yeah, the thing is that this only works if you actually went through those turns to accumulate stress. If you're playing a Saffron deck, however... well, one of her cards turns the whole competition into a joke.

I thought they would actually force a third round on you with your final potion, which would've been a lot cooler in my book, but they didn't.

Ending really disappointing you spend all that time to beat the final boss and it just ends not even able to continue to play so you can unlock all the cards nothing your just done not too happy about it figured once you owned your show you could continue playing to make lots of money upgrade everything but no game over

What's funny is the second round is the first time in the game where I hit 100% stress. But you don't fail the entire competition, just that round, so I got to go into round 3 (and then round 3 repeat) with 0% stress.
