Didn't you love seeing Yuffie provoke Elena into a fight? I wanted a catfight between the two youngest brats from their respective groups.

Oh yes! I loved it how it exposed further Elena's own flaws & the disconnect she has with Tseng, who end up pulled in a fight with Aerith, a thing he has been trying to avoid. I think it's also significant for whatever happen in Wutaï story wise. (I feel like Corneo is gonna meet his end in the girls aka Tifa, Yuffie & Elena, which makes sense knowing he's a sexual predator & trafficker who tried to prey on all of them)
However I'm more interested in a rivalry with Tifa as well because Elena is a great contrast to Tifa in term of personnality. They share a lot of parallels & interesting difference. Rebirth did a good job at subtly opposing their characters & knowing we see Elena growing as a martial artist too, well...

That's also here I kinda get annoyed about the lack of raw, brutality in FF7R because I feel a fight between them all would get bloody, angry & gritty at one point & there's some missed opportunity with the lack of use of environnement during fight cutscenes.
