No matter how strong we get we can't effectively lift things that are outside our center of gravity. Ttk would solve that issue. Basically, the minimum would be lifting equal to my own body weight and the extreme would be double that. This would mean that one could disperse a dogpile of ten people whose weight is randomly distributed, but could not carry more than two people.

@vedran, I don't remember you posting a Semblance. As to the effectiveness of ttk on manipulation, no one said anything about applying in combat. This would be more a tactic to apply in secret, pulling someone aside maybe into a dark room or back alley. The ttk could work simultaneously to keep them still. And it would not take nearly as long as "breaking" someone irl. There's no reason to believe that ttk is really any different from a Vulcan mindmeld which is basically tactotelepathy.
