It just doesn't happen. Also Yoshimitsu in Tekken always annoyed me for NOT STABBING WHAT BUTTONS DO I PRESS
Tifa could probably be included along with weapon-wielding opponents, considering the respectable length of the spikes/claws on some of her fighting gloves. Give her some sturdy gauntlets for her lower arms so that she can block weapons and you're good to go. This is how they incorporated Heihachi in Soul Calibur 2, after all. She would be a really close range fighter though, so she'll probably need some really fast dashes, tech crouches and high priority attacks in order to be balanced up against the others.
