Tifa Lockhart (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Tifa appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about her in general, see her article on the FF Wiki.
The second and final character to debut in the "Brawl Era" of Super Smash Stadium, Tifa Lockhart is a playable character. She debuted right at the end of Season 38, alongside her home, Midgar. She essentially acts as a stand-in for Cloud Strife due to Alex thinking she makes a better Final Fantasy series rep than him and Sephiroth. However, she is not a total clone of Cloud.
==In her own universe==
Initially appearing with her last name misspelled as "Lockheart", Tifa was a close childhood friend of Cloud Strife, but at the time FF7 begins, they have been apart for a while. Cloud meets her at a bar called "7th Heaven", and she convinces him to join an "eco-terrorist" group she's in, AVALANCHE, setting the game's events into motion.
==Attributes==
Much of Tifa's character in SSS seems to be derived from the Dissidia games, a series of Final Fantasy-themed fighting games. True to her character in those games as well as FF7 itself, she fights primarily using her fists and is quite strong in close-range combat. However, she has no projectiles. Also, unlike Cloud, she lacks a sword, and thus lacks the privileges that come with a sword, such as disjointed hitboxes. Essentially, she must play as a genderswapped Captain Falcon to be successful. She uses her "Feint Brawler" playstyle from the first Dissidia game.
As with Cloud, she uses a Limit Break mechanic that charges in much the same way. The Limit Break meter will charge naturally as she deals or takes damage, and she can use her down special to charge it manually. As it charges, she gets more powerful and can move faster, and her attacks gain some elemental properties, too. However, her other specials use up the Limit meter, and dying will empty it to zero as well.
===Changes===
*Season 39??? ...Since she only appeared once in the Brawl Era (her debut appearance), it's unclear if she received any changes. Either way, she was now seen as the second best character on the whole show, right behind the woman who debuted that season, Bayonetta.
*Season 47: Yes, she was nerfed.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Warps in, showered in Phoenix Down light.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Blizzara, Blizzard, or Blizzaga	An extremely cold volley of ice and snow that can freeze opponents. Her Limit Break charge determines which move she uses, with Blizzard coming in at half charge, and Blizzaga being usable at full charge. Blizzara can only do 5%, but induces tripping. Blizzard does 10%, while Blizzaga does 20% and has the highest freeze chance.
Blizzaga kills at 120%. The other moves can't kill.
Side Special:
Meteor Crusher or Meteor Strike	A rapid series of fiery blows that knocks the opponent upward. Meteor Strike, which only happens at full Limit Break, also knocks the opponent back down, Meteor Smashing them.
Kills at 150% (Crusher) or 50% (Strike).
Up Special:
Water Kick	Tifa kicks diagonally upward. Does water damage, obviously. At half Limit or higher, she kicks twice, with the second kick being more powerful.
Cannot kill with just one kick, kills at 90% with both.
Down Special:
Limit Charge	Tifa charges up her Limit Break meter. She reaches full charge in 5 seconds. However, she is extremely vulnerable while doing this, so you can shield to stop charging early.
Cannot kill.
Final Smash:
Final Heaven	Tifa glows white, charges up energy for a second, and then radiates a massive burst of energy that inflicts damage based on how high her Limit Break was at the time. Does 100% on all opponents if she's at full charge. But if her Limit meter is empty, it won't do a thing!
Kills at 100%.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Flexes.
*Side Taunt: A Chocobo runs by her.
*Down Taunt: Pulls out a beer jug and says "Want a drink?" (Against a St. Clair Publications character, she instead says "Tell that while she's busy being oppressed by my boobs, I'm out saving the world! Could SHE take on Sephiroth?")
===Victory===
*Pose: Her victory pose from "Dissidia 012". She says "This...is my fantasy!" while doing this.
*Theme: A riff on the famous Final Fantasy battle victory theme, with a custom theme that replaces the usual results theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: The "Game Over" theme from FF7?
