About Dancing Mad (Ultimate)
Dancing Mad (Ultimate) is a grueling 8-player level 100 Ultimate raid that reimagines the Sigmascape V4.0 Savage encounter with Kefka. The fight features multiple phases, including God Kefka forms, returning mechanics from Stormblood, brand-new chaotic elements, and a lengthy encounter with a 120-minute time limit. True to Kefka’s unpredictable nature, the raid includes trickster mechanics, cinematic moments, and brutal DPS checks. The community quickly embraced the nickname **UMAD** due to the fight’s difficulty and some early hilarious phase transitions that left raiders (and spectators) questioning reality — perfectly fitting for the mad clown god.The World Race Highlights
Top teams from Japan, North America, and Europe pushed deep into the multi-phase encounter. Progression was fast and competitive, surpassing some previous Ultimate records in raw speed. Japanese team "Name TBD" (with former GRIND members) secured the official World First clear on June 7 after roughly five days of raiding. North American team **DN** achieved the first streamed clear shortly afterward, earning massive community praise and congratulations for their transparent, high-production run. As is common in recent Ultimate races, debates around verification and streaming practices sparked lively discussion in the community.| Achievement | Team | Date |
