Lili

Versatile

Lili is a versatile character with good generics, ample plus frame pressure, and the best sidestep in the game. Her strong movement and space control make her extremely difficult to pin down, and she can punish all kinds of situations with her array of damaging whiff punish launchers and quick punishment tools. With these things in mind, opponents will hesitate to press mindlessly, allowing her to approach with plus frames or mixups out of her Feisty Rabbit and backturn (BT) stances. Heat makes her pressure and mixups even more threatening, with access to arguably the best low Heat Smash in the game if she's able to get into BT. She also has good mid checks, strong oki and a terrifying wall game with many safe wall splats. All of these strengths come at a pretty glaring cost: despite being the queen of sidesteps, Lili is prone to getting sidestepped herself, and lacks effective tracking on almost all of her moves. Her homing options tend to be highly lacking in speed and/or range. Her BT pressure is also interruptible by mid checks on block, and her lows outside of BT pose little threat damage-wise.
