Can you REALLY fight heartless with martial arts?

[SuperMillionaire]

I saw Tifa Lockheart (from Final Fantasy VII) defend herself from some Heartless that surrounded her. I thought; don't you need a weapon to fight the heartless? How can she fight heartless with only her hands?

[KH-Cloudy]

Gauntlets.

[Hambone]

She's Tifa. She can do anything she wants because she's hot... And because of KH-Cloudy's reason above.

[mooglebunni608]

she has those gloves.... Plus, same reason as Kupo Man :D

[SuperMillionaire]

Oh. I thought you needed something like a sword, shield, staff, or other weapon.

Oh. I thought you needed something like a sword, shield, staff, or other weapon.

Or a keyblade? :cat:

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

Gauntlets.

[Ultima Shadow]

Boobs.

The heartless are people without hearts. The closest comparison in the real world i can come up with, for a human without a heart, is a frat guy. so, using frat guy logic, the most potent weapon to use in order to completely fry their brains would be...



Boobs.


Hell, if Tifa had a beer helmet on, the heartless would kill each other trying to get in her tight little pants.

[Griff]

or maybe her last name actually signifies that her heart is locked and the heartless can't get it, so she doesn't need to worry about weapons

[Anniexo]

She can fight heartless without a weapon cus her hands and feet are her weapons and that's all she needs

[SuperMillionaire]

Come to think of it, you're actually right! Her heart is locked, so the Heartless can't get her.

[Zeromus_X]

Except her name was created before KH was thought about. Though it is a nice coincidence, and maybe more incentive to put her in the game. :cat:

Keyblades, gauntlets, and female breasts seem to all be combat options against the Heartless. :cat:

[SuperMillionaire]

LOL

[KH-Cloudy]

Her lastname LockHeart....Lockheart

Boobs.

Think logically. Sora and Roxas were unable to battle heartless with the wooden sword and the Struggle weapons, why? Because they were not strong of heart . . . yet. The Keyblade is Sora/Roxas' symbol of heart. When they became strong of heart, the Keyblade appeared. The other characters (i.e. Donald and Goofy) don't need a Keyblade because their hearts are strong enough to battle the Heartless and the Nobodies without it. That's why Tifa can battle them without any weapon.

The Keyblade chose Sora because his heart was strong. Had his heart not been strong, the Keyblade never would have gone to him. So that explanation doesn't quite fit.

[SuperMillionaire]

Wow... you can hit a heartless with your hands!

[Craig]

OMG, I didn't realise physically hitting something actually caused damage unless I was holding a weapon of some sort! I'll think twice next time I punch someone!

[SuperMillionaire]

?

[Ouch!]

I do believe that was sarcasm.

[SuperMillionaire]

I think so too.

Also, speaking about her heart being locked away from the heartless, well, in that Cloud vs Sephiroth video, what she says to Sephiroth made her sound a lot like Sora! She preached about the light, and when Sephiroth dissed her, she lashed back at him!
