I thought it was for emphasis but I like the idea of her falling in slow motion, that makes me giggle so much.Originally Posted by MJN SEIFER
What game is this from?!
Final Fantasy VII.What game is this from?!
Hahaha,implying Final Fantasy EVER obeys the laws of physics!
Well, if you press forward, he does walk forward...technically physics...
Unless Tifa used a jutsu to replace herself with a log, she is still a human being being slashed from top-down. The force would throw her head back and that alone would cause her hat to at least fall to her back before she went flying down the stairs. I stick with the idea that she tied her hat on tight before confronting him. She did have to charge pretty quickly up those stairs.
Then again, the way she kind of hunches beforehand, her hat should have fallen at Sephiroth's feet. In fact, she kind of hunches before the slash so Sephiroth should have taken, like, half of her face off.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
I'd like to point out that this entire line of speculation is based on the line after Cloud's flashback:
Now this is one of Cloud's memories that we can trust. It's unfortunate for the party that it corroborates Cloud's story, but...Tifa
"Cloud...how bad was I when Sephiroth cut me?"
Cloud
"I thought you were a goner...I was really sad."
Well...
If you're talking about a normal katana, it wouldn't really be a blunt strike, but merely a slashing motion that would open up the artery next to her collarbone, essentially deform one of her breasts (take that, hentai artists), and spill her entrails on the ground.
But if it's the Masamune? I kinda get the feeling she would have been sliced clean in half...this is possible with a katana of sufficient caliber in real life, so if it's the Masamune? Yeah...Zangan's "Cure Spells" woulda been too little, too late.
Perhaps he merely cut the artery near her collar bone? That would be sufficient to incapacitate a teenage girl, and would cause sufficient blood loss to be a life-threatening injury. But she hunches forward, gripping her shoulder, and then a twinge of shock runs through her back, and she throws her head back and loses her footing. Seems legit...
I spend way too much time thinking about these stories.
I was about to say "Maybe he doesn't like hitting girls so held back?" but then I remembered... xD
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
She had martial arts training prior to that. Maybe she was attempting to jump back enough to get out of the instantly lethal range. Sephiroth probably knew that she wasn't instantaneously dead, just very close. However he didn't really care enough to go down there and finish her off.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
And from what we see of her in VII and AC... she has no visible scars. There is no way a bunch of cure spells or a doctor could make her skin look perfect. Nobody would have fronted the money for plastic surgery and there's no way she could afford it on her own on a bartender's wages. This confirms it. She was a street walker. No wonder she knew how to dress for the Don. She probably been there before.

Someone posted fanart here once showing Tifa's scar, but yeah, it's not really shown anywhere and kind of devalues that scene. Can't have her being ugly though, I guess?
Meanie.
