Tifa and Cloud were childhood friends, but parted ways when Cloud left his hometown of Nibelheim and headed for Midgar.  Soon after opening her bar, Tifa's Seventh Heaven, she met Barret and joined his ragtag group of rebels known as AVALANCHE.  It's her goal to make sure Cloud remains with AVALANCHE after his first mission with the team.

Level 1:  Beat Rush-- Tifa unleashes a quick combo against a single enemy for the first part of her Limit Break combo.  Somersault-- Tifa punishes a single opponent and shows off a little with this flipping kick.  The Somersault tacks on another hit to her Limit Break combo.
Level 2:  Waterkick-- The third part of Tifa's combo is a quick elemental wave of water that washes over an opponent.  Meteodrive-- Tifa shows off her brute force by picking up her opponent and delivering a quick backdrop.
Level 3:  Dolphin Blow-- Tifa calls on her fishy friend for this watery uppercut and tacks on hit number five.  Meteor Strike-- After grabbing her opponent, Tifa jumps into the heavens before slamming her opponent hard.
Level 4:  Final Heaven-- After reaching Nibelheim, take Tifa to her house and play the song from Cloud's flashback at the Kalm Inn.  The song is: Do-Re-Mi-Ti-La-Do-Re-Mi-So-Fa-Do-Re-Do, or X--^-R1/L1+^-R1/L1+-X--^-R1/L1+X-O-X--X.  When finished with the tune, press Start and Tifa will say she has the sheet music for that song.  Inside the sheet music she finds a note and her Final Heaven Limit Break.  This trick can be performed during Disc 2 and Disc 3.  Focusing her energies into her fist, Tifa hits the enemy with the force of a nuclear explosion.
