Tifa Lockhart(FF) VS Azula(Avatar)

Who wins this one?

The more intimidating, LEGIT ninja esque, interesting, better, and cooler character? Azula.

The most powerful and the one most like to win this match? Probably Tifa considering the things I've seen people say about Final Fantasy characters.

Tifa stomps hard.

get in here

First thing to address, Tifa does not punch with the force of a nuclear bomb, contrary to the hyperbole given to her final limit.

She is, however, Superhuman in every capacity.

Tifa Lockhart

Overview/Abilities

Superhuman Strength - Tifa's strength is well above those of any normal human being, for unknown reasons.

Superhuman Durability - Tifa can withstand blows that would make a normal human being explode into pieces....

Superhuman Speed - Tifa can cover vast distances in a split second.

Superhuman Reflexes - Tifa can react to things in a moment.

Master Martial Artist - Tifa is a master at hand to hand fighting. It is not revealed what fighting styles she knows, but she focuses heavily on striking over submissions.

Tifa's Fighting Style and Her abilities

1:10-2:00 - Great showing of ability here, she tanks electrically charged shots from her opponent multiple times over, and it's shown that these attacks shatter concrete, but she blocks and tanks them without much sign of injury. You can also see her immense speed, and her acrobatic heavy strikes fighting style.

2:00-2:20 - Before Gravity pulls her to the ground she has time to re position herself on the wall, and lunge against her target. Then mops the floor with him at blinding speeds, tosses him into the air, and then smashes him to the ground.

3:10-3:35 - Smashes a church pew effortlessly with a backhand, and then tanks a lightning blast that shatters the concrete pillar behind her, and still remains conscious (though barely, and definitely worse for ware).

Durability

2:00-2:15 - Survives a slice from Sephiroth....

Strength, Speed, and Ability again

2:30-2:50 - Tifa handles a group of Shadow Creeps. These things can run 60 MPH or better, and can effortlessly throw a full grown human being 3-5 meters in the air, and they can tank a fire hydrant cap and the initially rush of water with only being mildly inconvenienced.

2:50-3:00 - With her kick, redirects a blast capable of leveling a city block

Oh the brutality!

8:40-9:30 - Tifa, Cloud, and Aerith threaten this guy's balls....

Personality

Tifa is a great character because of her devotion to the group. She's funny, she gets into a b!tch slap competition with someone at one point throughout the game, she's kind, caring, and overall one of the best characters.

Tifa and Cloud

On the Way to a Smile

Episode 2

Overall she's a well written character, and essential to the story. It's hard not to like her as a character.

Nicely done Floopay. 8/10.

also mismatch.

Floopay should be nerfed in FF know how >.< Well done sir, Tifa takes it.

Yes, Tifa takes it in every category. She's tough, she's sassy, she keeps the group together, she has great fashion sense, and she even knows how to make a mean Strawberry Daiquiri. What's not to love?

i agree completely

actually just everything fantasy

guy could probably solo Thanos and Darkseid with Gromph Baenre full equips and a nanosecond of prep

Low bar, I know.

mismatch, lockhart stomps

Tifa Stomps this, but it brought back memories of 'Dead Fantasy' God Damnit.

Tifa curbstomps.

I guess Tifa does have this one.

Azula as Tifa is close to featless and her only fight although visually pretty was still a loss and I don't imagine she can survive being set on fire.

Considering Tifa redirected, after making direct contact with, a fire attack that leaves molten steel in it's wake, I think she can handle fire.

She walked through Shinra infantry on at least 2 occasions, while inside of Shinra headquarters, and being pursued and fighting encounters, and didn't receive a single gunshot wound.

She fought Deepground soldiers (who are super human) with hand to hand combat only, and took them out with ease.

She has for sure fought steel constructs in the past, and was able to destroy them with her bare hands/fists.

Over and above this we know she can tank shots that would normally crumble concrete beneath their strikes without any harm to her person (shown when a casual shot from Loz smashed a crater into the concrete wall behind her), she has reflexes and a level of perceptions that allows her to re-position herself on the side of a wall and leap from it before the effects of gravity takes place, which puts her as well above characters like Wolverine in speed. This is backed up by her effortlessly handling 3-4 Shadow Creeps at once.

As good as Azula is, I'm pretty sure Tifa can tank more shots from Azula, than Azula can tank from Tifa. Over and above this, Tifa has every possible physical advantage.

The initial blast appears solid otherwise she couldn't kick it and she was floored when it exploded in the distance so it's not a very impressive showing. This in no way shows that she would be capable of surviving a wall of flames as she would hardly be able to kick that out of the way.

She walked through Shinra infantry on at least 2 occasions, while inside of Shinra headquarters, and being pursued and fighting encounters, and didn't receive a single gunshot wound.

The entire group runs from gunfire and never gets hit regardless of shape or apparent reflex even Barret, Aeris and Sith

Nearly everyone of these is within game mechanics which I always take with a massive pinch of salt. Nathan Drake takes down heavily armoured mercenary companies within the game mechanics and regens from bullets but just like Tifa is threatened off by gunfire during scenes.

@dextersinister:

It may appear solid, but Cloud Strife actually flew through one of those blasts, so it's not :)

None of those feats are in game mechanics, they all happened, and are all cannon. They are just off-panel (some of them) or were somewhat gameplay. Regardless of what happens in gameplay, the plain and simple fact is, if Tifa is stated as one of the ones who defeated a giant hovering robot construct, then it happened.

This happens multiple times throughout the game(s). She fights Shinra Soldiers multiple times as well, and it is perfectly cannon that she doesn't actually get shot, as she was still perfectly capable of running. And no, not gameplay fought them, as in, was pursued, it showed them pursuing her and firing at her, jumped to another cutscene, and then when it cut back to her she was fine and there were no more Shinra troops.

Tifa and very easyly too. Epic cubstomp. She is better in anything.

1 headbutt from Tifa and Azula would be out.

Hahahahahaha!

@arcus get in here, azula needs you.

@haoalchemist: I don't know anything about Tifa

Read the above post by Floofay, do you have any counters to why Azula would win?

Oops for a while i thought it was a CaV and we were talking about the wonderful user with the same name.

not really

@arcusDang, you were our only hope :P:

Bump

Not familiar with Azula enough to declare a winner, and I feel it's premature to use Tifa in versus threads before the remake drops, but Tifa is not featless. Despite losing to Loz when he remembered his super speed, she won round one according to the script that came with the deluxe edition.
