Meet Asuka’s vivacious friend and roommate, the spirited Lili! Lili’s standout characteristic is undoubtedly her exceptional sidestep, widely regarded as the best in the game. This unparalleled maneuverability allows her to gracefully navigate situations that would prove challenging for other characters.
Solidity defines Lili’s generics—her jab, df1, and low pokes stand as pillars of strength in her arsenal. The heart of her gameplay lies in imposing substantial + frame pressure, exemplified by moves like df3, a mid + on block CH launcher, and qcf3+4, an impressively + on block high. Lili’s overarching strategy revolves around instilling fear in opponents, leveraging her evasive sidestep and agility. Exploiting this hesitation, she deftly applies pressure and weaves intricate mind games.
In Tekken 8, Lili has received a game-changing addition to her repertoire—an exceptional oki move, qcf3. This mid, safe, grounded-hitting maneuver elevates her oki game to new heights. Moreover, in her heat state, her rabbit low becomes unseeable, providing a knockdown opportunity for a follow-up qcf3 and subsequent oki. Notably, Lili boasts a low heat smash from BT that is both potent and entirely safe, setting her apart from the rest.
While Lili excels at sidestepping, she faces vulnerability to being stepped herself due to the relatively slower speed of her homing moves. Precision and timing are crucial for realignment against opponents.
