*** Tifa's own humiliation at being an accomplished martial artist caught in a ''slap fight'' with someone who tried to kill her should outweigh any damage she could to Scarlet by slapping her. |

*** I think you're underestimating the effects of poisonous gas... And slapping, for that matter. Also, Tifa isn't the kind of person to be "humiliated" by something so stupid. However, Scarlet is. Tifa would've known the limits of her body and would understand that she shouldn't feel bad or guilty for not being able to utterly pwn Scarlet's ass at that point. So what do you do when your body is in bad shape and you're fighting against a woman that's vain and full of herself? Easy. You slap her. Not only is it humiliating to Scarlet, it's a small action that doesn't take a lot of energy to carry out and definitely hurts on impact to the face. I also want to point out the possibility of it being a "who's going to last longer getting slapped?" kind of thing--an endurance test between them, in which if you attempt to run or block, you lose. And regardless, it's amusing as heck to people who don't take it so seriously and are willing to suspend disbelief. |

** Directly before Scarlet slaps her the first time, Tifa's sort of looking down and shuffling her feet in embarrassment like she's trying to think of some way to talk herself out of this situation. Being good at martial arts doesn't mean she's omniscient and has Spider Sense, so it's entirely plausible that the first slap just caught her by surprise. At that point, it's also entirely possible (and entirely hilarious) to picture mild-mannered, sweet-natured Tifa thinking "OH BITCH YOU DID '''NOT''' JUST-!!!!!" and retaliating in kind because she was pissed off more than looking to win a fight. |
