We want to equate their power levels? Okay. You still can't equate experience because we don't know how skilled full bloom Yang will be, so in a fight of pure skill we'll give it 80-20 to Tifa. Since this is a Death Battle and they're both martial artists, we suppose that Tifa will go for an immediate kill and Yang survives the fatal blow because of her Aura. She realizes that it's a kind of shield and tries to chip away at it, but due to Yang's temperament the moment she gains enough burst (like in Yellow Trailer) she'll counter with a surprise blow and surprise Tifa. Realizing what Yang's power is Tifa uses her Limit Break, combined with her skills and Yang's tendency to take blows so she can recharge, exploits a vulnerability and hits Yang at her vital area before she can react. Remember, Aura is like an extra layer of skin and it can be pierced through; otherwise Neo would've to summon 140 tonne of force to stab a knocked out Yang, which makes 0 sense.

So in short Yang's trump cards, Aura and Semblance are in my opinion still not enough to take down Yang. You think a martial artist master like Tifa would be stupid enough to showcase all of her skills before taking down her opponent? We're talking about a fist fighter here. Since they're almost always outranged, they should know better than anyone that the only way for them to live is to take out the enemy as fast as possible.
