Tifa(FFVII) vs. Zell(FFVIII)

Both are the resident monks of their respective games. Neither have any spells, only their fists. Battle takes place at the Tenkaichi Budokai arena of DBZ(only knockout doesn't equal a win). As much as I love Tifa, I gotta go with my dog Zell here.

Tifa because Zell's incredibly weak.

Which is why he can pick up giant monsters and throw them.

Zell has an optimistic trait, and his Judo/karate mix matches Tifa's Street/kung-fu.

Tifa has that.. "I need to complete my mission" Trait, so, it's a tough match.

Zell throws punches, Tifa throws mostly kicks. Hmm. I'm gonna go with Zell, since punches are faster than kicks, most of the time.

That is true, punches are faster than kicks, and are overall more effective. Also, I would say that Zell also has boxing in his style. Zell is also physically stronger, tho Tifa is faster.

techniqually speeking, zack is more poewrful game wise since his limit break (if u abuse forward back then up down again and again for upward of 1,000,000 damage...) but storyline wise Tifa should be more powerful

The comment about Zell was a joke. Anyway, Tifa has better showings overall.

Well i dunno about applying real world physics to games, but in my experience kicks are alot more effective, especially if you snap it fast enough. Plus you grow tired faster blocking kick than you do for dealing them, the same cannot be said for punches because they are alot easier to dodge aswell as block.

Wrong. Kicks are much easier to dodge and counter if you know how, and are slower as well. Kicks can leave you clumsy if you f*ck up. If someone blocks a punch, so what? If someone blocks a kick, you're in trouble.

Only for an ametaur, if you know your kicks you can and will shift your body weight, however if your blocking you have to be in a postion to block alot of force thus you will react slower than the attacker.

I studied karate for 3 years and am currently studing Tae-Kwon-Doe, and have been for 2, i have to know these things ^-^

Going to be a hard switch though wrestler to boxer right? I mean, wrestle is about weight transfer unles i''m mistaken, boxing it's speed.
