Strengths Weaknesses


Overview

Tifa is a close range character with fast movement speed and the ability to feint attacks. Ground combat is bolstered by mid priority projectiles and an HP link, while aerial combat is supported by moves with vertical tracking. Decent EX gain and one of the highest damaging EX Bursts in the game the more EX meter she has remaining. Damage potential is high with HP attacks thanks to high base bravery and Aerith assist specifically. Low average bravery damage, limited utility on feints and below average vertical prowess while airborne limit her overall effectiveness, however.

Tifa is a low tier character.

Tifa's mechanics (Feints)

Many of Tifa's bravery and HP attacks can be cancelled into an advancing invincible dash that can go through opponents. Press X during an attack's start-up to "feint" it. After the motion has occurred, Tifa can continue with the preceding attack or wait until the feint state ends. So for example, Beat Rush > X > Beat Rush (hits).

Attacks with feints
Attack Feint window Post-feint action
Beat Rush Before first hit Beat Rush
Waterkick Before second hit Second bravery hit of Waterkick
Moonsault Kick Before either hit First part or second part depending on feint timing
Falcon's Dive Before first hit Falcon's Dive
Dolphin Blow Before first hit Dolphin Blow
Meteodrive Before first hit Meteodrive
Meteor Strike Before / during first hit Meteor Strike (can be charged)
Burning Arrow Before first hit Burning Arrow
Rolling Blaze (both) During first part Rolling Blaze
Meteor Crusher Before attack connects Meteor Crusher (cannot be charged)

A feint allows Tifa to delay her attack for about one (1) full second before being locked into unactionable recovery frames. This can be used to extend an attack's range and increase ambiguity on your attack timing, most notably with the Rolling Blaze HP attacks.

Because Tifa is invincible when initiating a feint, it is also possible to use it as a post-dodge defensive option.

Tifa can be hit after the feint teleport and during the recovery period, which make her vulnerable to interruptions. One way to cover this is to have assist meter ready to respond to opponent’s interactions. Escaping damage or intercepting the opponent’s approach can work out well, but there will inevitably be a little bit of guessing involved when facing a different player.

Feints are better used sparingly early in the match to see how the opponent reacts to them. Once you get a good idea of how they respond, you can adjust your strategy accordingly.

Common counterstrategies to feints include;

  • Running or jumping out of range
  • Interrupting with fast attacks (e.g. Squall’s Beat Fang, Yuna’s Diamond Dust)
  • Chasing with a homing attack (e.g. Cloud's Braver, Vaan's Inferno)
  • Reacting with assist and using it in tandem to pincer her.
