Are there even Tifa pics that aren't at all sexy?

That male Tifa cosplayer

Yeah, and it's pathetic how it's the same argument on both sides. Cloud isn't even that hot-- *gets shot*

I like Balthier but sorry he's not better than Cloud.

But this is for ANOTHER THREAD ZOMG STOP SWITCHING TOPICS!

Current topic in the Cloud club is the Aer/Ti love child. D:

Check, her fighting stance is southpaw. In VII her limits and punches usually are delivered from her right hand, up to and including Final Heaven. In VII and AC her initial stance is with right hand and right foot forward and left hand behind, which is southpaw style. I thought it was cool.

But that stance ISN'T southpaw. A southpaw stance would be one favoring the left hand, so the left leg and hand would be forward, and the right would be back.

Southpaw means 'left handed', and her stance is not a left handed stance. It is vaguely similar to how a left handed batter hits, but because they power their bat with their left hand, pushing it along, so it needs to be behind. This makes no sense in an unarmed context, where you want to lead, and give more reach to, the hand you gravitate towards.

Contrast this to the Southpaw Loz, who leads with his left hand as well.

 

[Fighter]

Sorry Ryu. It's the other way around. You keep your off hand forward and you keep your main hand back to deliver your most powerful shots. It is not always the case but most of the time yes.

[Ryushikaze]

That holds for boxing, but for more complex martial arts, it doesn't. Especially styles involving the legs.

As the Wiki itself says 'In mixed martial arts this may not apply, as having the more coordinated hand forward provides more coordination for blocking and grappling. A weakness of this strategy is that when facing disciplines like Muay Thai, which focuses on attacking the lead side - a person with their dominant arm and leg forward risks having his best weapons neutralized.'

Tifa is an arms and legs fighter, not a boxer. Southpaw stance for such would be to lead to the left.

You have a valid point WRT boxing, Fighter, and Edley, but we aren't talking boxing. That's my bone of contention.

 

[Fighter]

In mixed martial arts it applies too. It doesn't necessarily mean Tifa is left handed but it's still a southpaw stance. It may be a boxing thing but that's what most people call it nowadays. If you watch mma you hear it all the time. When a right handed person switches stance and puts his left foot forward its still called a southpaw stance.

The only possible exeption I can think off are grappling and wrestling.

Um, that's exactly what I'm saying. Left foot forward is southpaw for several martial arts, since the lefties generally lead with the left and righties with the right. However, Tifa is right foot forward.

Of course, it might just be that 'southpaw' is too specific a term trying to be used broadly. Not here, just in general.

Whatever her stance I wouldn't mind getting beat up by her.

Actually, it's "ph'nglui mglw'nafh cthulhu r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", .

Also, just noting that some people fail at drawing faces.

This thread should also be renamed to 'hot tifa yuri porn xxx', so we'll get more hits from search engines, .

Probably not the right kind of hits though, .

I only noticed Tifa wears a single earing in her left ear when I watched ACC the other week, before that I assumed she had earings in both ears. Of course now that I've notived I've taken to the habit of only wearing a single earing in my left ear, why on earth not?

 

[paoo]

I have always thought she had in both ears at first. Doesn't she have it in LO?
But after watching AC many times I started to notice that she only had one earring, so I first thought she might have lost it in the fight with Loz. But... nah I think she looks prettier with two earrings, still.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Regarding the one earring, I can sum it up in a word- well, a name- Audrey Hepburn. Classy lady.
