	With the absence of Blizzards and HP links, Tifa's aerial strategies change up a little to accomodate her feints more. Feints become more prominent in the air due to increased HP attack range and more braveries having a feint cancel at the beginning. Her offensive gameplan works similiarly, dashing quickly in the air to close gaps and create interactions up close.

	* Blizzaga can also be used pre-emptively to force a dodge or punish a reckless dodge. It's slow to come out, but it spawns above the opponent with a max range restriction. So if they're already pre-occupied, Tifa can occasionally benefit from throwing out Blizzaga.
