I think it’s just the low-tier hero in me that doesn’t want to use Lili. In every fighting game I play I always prefer to use the low tier characters. Link in Smash and Soul Calibur II, Yang in AE 2012, Z.W.E.I in Soul Calibur V…the only reason I don’t want to use Lili is because she is top tier.
Though…every time I see Lili gameplay, the temptation to use her rises…she looks like so much fun to play…but the low-tier hero in me says don’t do it…arrrrrrgh!!! :wasted:
No one really agrees on a tier list for this game at this point. It’s too new.
Yeah, I know, but most people seem to agree that Lili is top 5 at least, so…:bluu:
If you ask me, I’d say maybe top 10, but not top 5. But maybe that’s still too good for you?
Honestly, I don’t think you should have an issue with playing a character just because they’re good. It makes more sense if you don’t like them because you don’t like the actual reasons that make them good (prime examples for this game would be Cody and Zangief).
I guess it’s just that when I play fighters, usually I play the characters that are considered low-tier. I’m just making excuses not to play Lili…
On the topic of tiers though…one thing I like about this game is the fact that the tier list is much more subjective due to the team system. You can play a character who has a terrible time getting in on their own but use a character with an easier time getting in to make up for it. And if you build your team well, bad match-ups won’t be as big of an issue. E.g. if one of your characters has a terrible time against a character like Gief, you can have a partner who can beat Gief (and the opponent can use a partner for Gief that makes up for some of Giefs bad match-ups). It makes it so in some cases you can make up for a character’s bad match-up.
I don’t think Lili is top tier…shes ranked high but not top because she’s not widely used due to the fact that her moveset isn’t easily exploited like Cody, Chun-Li, Rufus, Gief, Julia, Jin or even Ryu. She’s a fun character but she has a large amount of bad match-ups since she’s a very balanced character.
This man does have a point :D!
Don’t worry about it :D! My ass was set on fire by Koji for mentioning false information and I learnt my lesson from that scolding so it’s good that you recognized that you have made a mistake and corrected it at least.
ARRRRGH! Indeed, it’s the reason as to why I don’t play any Mishimas in this game even though I know how to and can do their stuff (just not well in matches though 
) Still I won’t force it on you. That would make me as bad as people who say things like:
‘‘X’ Game sucks play ‘Y’ Game instead’ or ‘Come and play our game’.
Erm…I’m probably worse. Well at least my friends think I’m worse. Before I played Lili in a fighting game, I think pretty much every single character I played before-hand according to my friends was considered as a ‘rapist’ in some way shape or form.
For example
SF4: Akuma: “His Raging Demon” , T.Hawk “360 Throws/Ultra Throw”, Oni: “Same as Akuma but worse because of that laugh when he does his Ultra Fireball + Win-pose” (Oni is considered as the worst offender), Hakan: “Is there a need to go there?”
UMVC3: Dormammu “His Level 3”
MK: Noob Saibot “Any move involving his shadow clone”
Tekken: King & Armor King: “Multi Throws & Ground Throws”
That said, I can still play Smash with them and have laughs at least so it isn’t all: ‘All of my friends hate me’ just that for the most part, they all own Wii’s and haven’t bought PS3’s or Xbox’s hence they prefer to play Smash and Mario Kart with each other competitively so our game tastes’ are pretty different to an extent.
…and then what will you do if your character gets buffed and becomes top tier? If you like the character and the play style, play the character. Who cares if they’re hated or top tier or low tier or [insert mental barrier to playing the character here]?
Besides… it’s Lili. I have a closet full of characters and I can’t even avoid playing her…
But then again why would I want to? :-p
Use her by all means. People think she sucks when in reality she’s probably one of the most underused characters in the game. Look at how many of us exist. Lilis are rare to fight.
Agh…everyone’s telling me to use Lili…must…avoid…temptation…
picks Lili in training mode
Lili is great. Amazing AA’s, good pokes, solid damage - what more could you want? Uses meter but also builds it. I was using her at one point, might try her again when I finally get to play.
i’ve literally written all i can humanly provide in terms of Lili. If you need any help with her just ask me. I know just about everything with her.
also i wanted to add…FUCK GIEF’S CR. JAB THAT THING FUCKING IS +100. I kept losing to this gief player because of him rapid hitting cr.jab and we’d trade and he’d get the next hit. smh I beat him though but still! That normal is too good!
Also in other news…well i don’t got any other news. I’m just gonna scroll up and um read some stuff. Btw i need to invite a dislike button for all those asuka goofballs. Not a scrap of grace.
A bad Lili is going to die really fast because of how little health she has and because she can’t dp > tag cancel like akuma can. But a good Lili is an absolute nightmare to fight, especially on knockdown. I swear, fighting Songi’s Lili is an exercise in patience, the girl has a lot of really filthy tricks to consistently knock you on your ass for another go around the corner of pain and misery. Alisa/Asuka isn’t really a team made for easy reversals either, so once Songi has the life lead it becomes a very uphill battle for me.
Hmm…maybe I could make a Juri/Lili team. I’ve been looking for a new partner for Juri since Xiaoyu isn’t working out and I don’t really like Law…
Yes she’s at least 10 ten. Believe it or not she works well with others but much better if you can provide her meter.
Urgh cody gief is a nightmare lol.
she breaks even with a lot of people. And then some match up she blows people up. Come next patch she will be top 5 if the nerfs to the sf cast are not reversed. All her 5-5 will become 6-4. This is because her new f.lk forces stand, ex angel knee will actually be worth using and the os for it will be probably one of the best in the game, she’s gonna build a stupid amount of meter off her attacks so she can be played on point now. It’s looking good for her.
Uhhhhh…ooookay lol. Well i played a rapist as well, Juri. I used to be a big juri player and people were actually very shocked i jumped games and picked Lili. But tbh i was eyeing lili since her reveal trailer.
Alioune’s old team was akuma and Lili. It’s not a bad team. Akuma can play it lame for x amount of mins and then dp tag into lili and she can go nuts afterwards =D
So yeah…PLAY LILI! DO EET! Don’t join that lame brain asuka army. They’re a bunch of twerps anyway =D
yeah stupid lili die hella fast. It teams time to learn her. And even then you can play her very gimmicky. I play a very vortex heavy Lili. So once I knock you down you better hope I don’t hit you again because her dive kick mix up can lead to some crazy damage and this is without meter as well. Mk dk does more then a medium kick or punch jump attack.
Alisa has an okay time with a meterless lili. But once she has meter your option to zone is gone. This is an example of LIli taking away options and it’s only from one meter and Ex divine step is a hard knock down.
Asuka has a bad time fighting Lili because she lacks a reliable wake up move so Lili can harass her all day long. The only think Lili needs to be aware about is asuka with meter because she can take away the dive kick mix up from Lili and put it back in her favor after knock down.
ask roknin. we played that team last night. it works well enough. As long as your anti airs are spot on then there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Atm i’m trying to work to get some of my vids up to show off some of my Lili play. If someone can help upload my vids i’d greatly appreciate it.
Edit: sorry for the spam of my replies just wanted to comment back to everyone in regards to Lili. But honestly fellas just message me =D
…what if I use the official team of Lili and Asuka? Would that be acceptable? Or would the twerpiness cancel out the grace? :lol:
You’ll pick Asuka, fight Gief…and then rethink your approach. Trust me or any Asuka main, she’s so free to him.
Asuka and Lili is such a terrible team it’s almost as terrible as Xiaoyu and Asuka. Don’t bother with it unless you have a death wish.
Which makes you wonder why Lili recruited Asuka while she has better chances if she recruited her own butler instead.
