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.

Violent2Dope
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.

Violent2Dope
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.

Hannibal-Lector
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

shin_gear
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.

Violent2Dope
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 ^-^

Lol, you specialise in punch, me in kicking, lol no wonder we're backing who we are XD

share the same specializations as them stick out tongue

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.

LOL.

Well, I was allowed to spar cuz we were gonna be used as an example of how to do certain moves and stuffs, so we were sparring and I was winning, then my classmate landed a good punch to me and got me to the floor, and I was like WTF that's an illegal move! thenhe was like 'What's wrong pussy?' And everyone started laughing, so I got up, he tried to punch me again, but I grabbed his arm, twisted it, put my foot on his shoulderblade and started outting pressure on it and I said don't you ever **** with me like that or I'll rip off your arm! And I started stomping on his shoulderblade, then he was screaming sorry, then I spat on his face and kicked him away.

Violent2Dope
My favorite move in wrestling is the accidental-on purpose elbow hehe...

I dunno, seriously, she so fast, there only one guy i've seen faster than her, and thats the instuctor whos like 6th dan

Sol Valentine
Eh, you don't have to be faster, just place yourself in the calm, and black her out with a flurry of combos or a good judo counter for me.

If she hits, she hits you in a prssure point though sad and they you like lose the ability to control that area properly >< i hate it, but i am learning

Violent2Dope
If she's that fast, and she is a girl, she likely doesn't have much power and can't take a hit well.

Sol Valentine
I've been hit in various pressure points a record 504 times. And plus, you have to exaust her by running around, then beat her senseless.

What I mean is if you can't get a move in, twist it into your advantage.
