Introduction

A descendant of the Thunderfoot tribe, Lily speaks with the spirits of nature, trusting in their guidance as she travels the globe. Don't judge a book by its cover—her small stature conceals truly titanic power.

Lily is the protégé of series veteran T.Hawk, and as such, plays a lot like him, even sharing many of his normals. She is a poke-focused grappler who prods opponents and looks for an opening to exploit with her gap-closing Condor Dive and Condor Spire. When she gets that opening, she sticks to the opponent like glue and forces them to guess with her command grab.

What sets Lily apart from T.Hawk, however, is her unique Windclad mechanic. With this, Lily uses her Condor Wind special to power up her other strike specials, giving them extra damage, frame advantage, and combo potential. Building up one or multiple Windclad stocks and landing one good hit can quickly swing a round in Lily’s favor, putting the opponent in sticky situations where they have to commit to risky options or face an endless loop of mixups and punishment.

Lily has her struggles in neutral, as her tools to get up close are reliant on her getting a Windclad stock, which not every opponent will allow. Her walkspeed is below average, making her play more like a heavyweight character despite her small size. She makes up for all of this with her great pokes that lead into her strike-throw mix, tick throws, anti-airs, spacing traps, and—most importantly—her fearsome Mexican Typhoon command grab.

Don’t let her small stature and cheery demeanor fool you—Lily is a high-risk, high-return character who devastates health bars with both strikes and throws. Though she may struggle in neutral against some characters, all Lily needs is one good opening and a Windclad stock to ride a tailwind of momentum straight to victory. If you enjoy the thrill of a vortex character but also like playing with good pokes, then be sure to give Lily a try!

Pick if you like:	Avoid if you dislike:
Large pokes and reliable anti-airs for playing an effective keepout game A long-ranged command grab that enables a powerful strike/throw mixup Advancing attacks that lead directly into pressure with the right setup	Juggling an extra resource that can be difficult to build in certain matchups Relying on sluggish movement when left without resources Utilizing a simple, straightforward gameplan with few gimmicks

Frame Data Glossary - SF6
Hitbox Images	🟥 (Red): Attack hitbox Appears pink for Throw hitboxes 🟩 (Green): Vulnerable hurtbox that can be hit by strikes/projectiles If a move's hitbox and hurtbox overlap, the colors blend to appear orange 🟦 (Blue): Vulnerable throw hurtbox Will be thrown if Pink throw hitbox touches Blue throw hurtbox
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. For projectiles with a maximum active period, a value may be listed in [brackets], but this number is not factored into the move's total frame count. For multi-hit moves with no gaps between the active hitboxes, active frames are listed as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y) For multi-hit moves with gaps between hits, active frames are listed as X(n)Y where n = the frame gap between hitboxes.
Cancel	Available options for canceling one move into another move. "Chn": Chain cancel (Light normals; specific chain options listed in Description) "TC": Target Combo "Sp": Special move "SA": Super Art (if a number is listed, refers only to that specific Super; SA3 = Lv.3 Super Art) "Jmp": Jump cancel (usually on hit only, if applicable) "SS": Serenity Stream (Chun-Li's stance) If one hit of a multi-hit attack is cancelable, this can be indicated with (1st), (2nd), etc. Occasionally, a move can be canceled only into a specific follow-up (e.g. Dee Jay [4]6P > 22PP); this can be indicated by listing the move input in the Cancel field, or with an asterisk that is explained in the move notes (Sp*)
Cancel Hitconfirm Windows	Hitconfirm reaction windows into Special Moves, Target Combos, and Super Arts. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel one attack into another attack on reaction e.g. most cancelable 2MKs have a 13 frame window to cancel into a Special/Super on reaction, making them nearly impossible to hitconfirm Counts from the first frame the attack connects until the final cancelable frame Visual effects like hitsparks and HP drain do not actually occur until frame 2; the first frame is still counted to keep the numbers consistent with previous games, and because it is technically possible to start reacting to the character's reeling animation on frame 1 If a Target Combo is cancelable into another attack, the hitconfirm window will include the entire sequence starting from the first hit If there is a frame gap on block between hits of the TC, the hitconfirm window may also be included for just the followup hit Some sequences like Ken's 5MP~HP TC may have a range of values listed (43f~47f). In this example, inputting 5MP~HP at its usual timing gives a 43f hitconfirm into a Special/Super. Delaying the chain into HP gives more total time for the final hitconfirm.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Multi-hit moves may have the damage listed for individual hits as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y). Sometimes a move's damage changes depending on which active frame connects, or on cinematic vs. non-cinematic hits; in this case, multiple values may be listed, and it will be clarified in the move description.
Damage Scaling	Some moves cause additional damage scaling in combos. Refer to Game Data page for a more detailed breakdown. Scaling Types: Starter: When a move begins the combo, the next attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Ryu 2MK (20% Starter) > Hadoken: Hadoken is at 80% damage scaling Combo: When a move is comboed into, the next attack is scaled by X percent or X number of hits e.g. Ryu 2HP > OD High Blade Kick (2-Hit Combo Scaling) > Shoryuken: Shoryuken is at 70% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [skip 80%] > 70%) e.g. Cammy 5HP > OD Spiral Arrow (5% Combo Scaling) > Cannon Spike: Cannon Spike is at 75% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [80-5 = 75%]) Immediate: When a move is comboed into, this attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Drive Impact Crumple (20% Starter) > Throw (20% Immediate): Throw is at 60% damage scaling Multiplier: A damage scaling multiplier applies after Perfect Parry (50%) and mid-combo Drive Rush (15%). Any hits in the combo continue their usual damage scaling, but reduced by these amounts. These can bring the minimum scaling below the usual 10%, and they stack with each other; as a result, the minimum scaling can reach 4% using a long Drive Rush combo after Perfect Parry. Minimum Scaling: The lowest damage scaling that can be applied to an attack. Super Art Level 1/2/3 generally has 30%/40%/50% minimum scaling respectively. This ensures the attack will still do reasonable damage even at the end of a heavily scaled combo.
Drive Rush Cancel Advantage	Refers to the frame advantage when canceling a normal, command normal, or Target Combo into Drive Rush on hit or block (abbreviated as DRC for Drive Rush Cancel). This is calculated at the moment a follow-up attack can be input, not at the moment the character can block or perform movement options. An attack that with DRC +8 on Hit can link into an 8-frame attack, and DRC +4 on Block can create a true blockstring into a 4-frame attack. Note that any DRC on Block worse than +4 cannot form a true blockstring, allowing the opponent to interrupt with an invincible reversal. Most light normals are slightly negative after a DRC on block, meaning the opponent can mash their fastest normal to guarantee a counter-hit (though this requires fast reactions). The attacking character could punish this with Light > DRC into an immediate invincible attack, but this would be an incredibly expensive and high-risk gambit.
Forced Knockdown	Most airborne command normals, special moves, and Super Arts put the user in a "Forced Knockdown" state. While in this state, an air knockdown will occur when being hit by any attack, even if it would otherwise cause an air reset. As an example, Ryu's 2HP causes an air reset when used as an anti-air. Against a move like Cammy's Hooligan Combination, however, the 2HP puts her into an air knockdown state. This allows Ryu to successfully cancel 2HP into Shoryuken for a juggle, similar to how a Drive Impact wall splat works. Taking advantage of Forced Knockdown juggles is important for dealing with moves like Ken's Dragonlash, Dhalsim's Air Teleport, or Kimberly's 6HK~Hop sequence. Moves that already cause an air knockdown, like most j.MP air-to-airs, will not display the "Forced Knockdown" message.
Guard	Refers to the direction an attack must be blocked. L is for Low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks/overheads (must be blocked standing), LH is for attacks that can be blocked crouching or standing. T is for Throw attacks which cannot be blocked.
Juggles	When a character is put into an Air Knockdown state, it is often possible to follow up with a Juggle attack before they hit the ground. In the simplest terms, there are 2 main juggle states: Free Juggle: any attack can juggle, causing an Air Reset or an Air Knockdown Limited Juggle: only specific attacks with juggle potential may juggle The following is a more detailed overview of the SF6 juggle system: Juggle Count (JC): The status of the character being juggled. A high JC limits which attacks can work in juggles. JC0: free juggle state - any attack that can hit an airborne opponent will work JC1+: limited juggle state - juggle only works if the attack's Juggle Limit ≥ defender's Juggle Count A juggle count of -1 represents a crumple state; this can lead to a grounded or airborne hit depending on timing Juggle Start (JS): When starting a juggle, the opponent's JC will be set to this value. May be different vs. standing and airborne opponents. Attack with Juggle Start value of 3 will put opponent at JC3, so only attacks with Juggle Limit value ≥ 3 can follow up Even for attacks that don't normally start a juggle, this is relevant for Forced Knockdown and Crumple situations Juggle Increase (JI): When opponent is already in a juggle state, attacks will increase the opponent's JC by this amount. Airborne opponent at JC1 followed by attack with Juggle Increase value of 3 will set opponent to JC4 Juggle Limit (JL): Property of an attack hitbox that determines whether it connects on a juggled opponent. The JL must be ≥ the opponent's JC to hit successfully. An uppercut with a JL value of 5 will connect on an opponent at JC5 or below, but will whiff on JC6 opponent Most normals have a JL value of 0, meaning they only work in Free Juggle (JC0) states Some multi-hit attacks have different JL values on each hit, so a 3-hit move may only hit twice in juggles An example to tie everything together: An attack (JS3) launches opponent into the air (Opponent now at JC3) Followed up with an attack (JI2/JL4); it connects, because JL4 ≥ JC3 (Opponent now at JC5) Attempts to juggle again with same attack (JL4), but whiffs because JL4 < JC5 (Opponent hits the ground) Drive Rush notes: DR normals have a Juggle Start/Increase value of 0 DR normals have +3 added to their usual Juggle Limit More recently, the official definitions used by Capcom are slightly different than these community-designated terms. When reading official patch notes, the following terms are used instead: Combo Count Initial Value Combo Count Additional Value Combo Count Upper Limit
On Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will recover before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit, and the listed KD Advantage refers to how many frames the attacker can act before the defender finishes their wakeup animation. Note that generally, there is an extra +2 hit advantage on Counterhits and +4 hit advantage on Punish Counters (exceptions are noted in the description).
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after the active frames have finished. For projectiles, recovery is considered to begin after the first active frame. Moves with different recovery values on hit/block/whiff may have multiple values listed like X(Y), with specific details listed in the description.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1. Moves with multiple relevant startup values may be listed as X(Y); for example, a move that hits airborne first before hitting grounded opponents, or a 2-hit move where the first hit whiffs at some ranges.
IASA / Actionable Recovery	Some moves play out an extended recovery animation when no other button/direction is input (for crouching moves, it applies when holding any down direction). These are often referred to as "actionable recovery" frames; in some games, the term IASA (Interruptible As Soon As) refers to the frame that Actionable Recovery begins. Letting the Actionable Recovery frames play out can change the character's position, potentially setting up spacing traps by recovering farther away. For example, Manon 5HP will recover much farther away from the opponent if no input is performed immediately after her recovery; holding back or down-back to block will keep her much closer to the opponent.

A counterpoke that leads to a crumple on Punish Counter. This allows for full conversions via Drive Rush or a forward dash, depending on range. When canceled into EX Condor Wind, there's a gap large enough for the opponent to DI. It's possible to react to your move getting absorbed and cancel to level 2 if this happens though, so it's a good option when you have 2 bars

This is Lily's only 4F button. Very important in tick throws and to frame trap people with after a Windclad Condor Spire, and is a true blockstring when chained after 2LK or 5LK. Without this, a lot of her strings are able to be mashed out of. It also has horrible range and frame advantage, leading to no unique links even on Punish Counter.

Has the most range and least pushback out of all of Lily's light normals, making it incredibly good for hitconfirms into 623P, 236KK, 236236P, and Drive Rush. Unfortunately has slightly less damage and frame advantage than 5LP, which makes it not quite as capable of linking into higher damage moves.

One of Lily's best buttons in its range, cancelability, advantage, and especially anti-air potential. This normal will stop even close jumps and crossups, and leads to juggles on air connect. On block, going into MP/HP Condor Wind charge on block is an airtight and safe on block frame trap, but keep in mind that it will be consistently punished by Drive Impact. To prevent this, you can use LP Condor Wind after someone is conditioned to Drive Impact, bait it, and then punish it with your own. EX Condor Wind attack also cannot be interrupted by drive impact. If you have 3 bars of meter, you can use MP or HP condor wind attack with impunity, and cancel into level 3 if you see your opponent responding with a DI for big damage.

Important tool for getting Windclad stocks in neutral. Mix it up with the M and H versions on block, they all have identical startup animations so if people are waiting for the hit it's easily to sneak one in.

19(4)	4	23	SA2 SA3*	1200	LH	KD +39	-5

• When held, hits on frame 4 of release.
• 214[MP] and 214[HP] gain a Windclad stock on each of frames 46, 71 and 90. Unlike 214[LP] there is no buffer window for the second stock.
• A Windclad stock is awarded on the first active frame of the attack only if no stocks were gained through charging.
• OD version applies a 10% damage scaling penalty to the next hit of a combo.

Very important tool for safely getting wind stocks. The heavy version, although -8, has tons of pushback, making it effectively safe on block. Wind stocks are vital to Lily's game plan, so learning how to poke with this move in neutral and make block strings ending with it is vital.

Can be spaced to be safe or even as good as +4 on block even when not Windclad.

Cancelling from 2HP into LK Condor Spire from a max range results in a frametrap that can be as good as +1 on block and also safe against Drive Impact (unless they do it before 2HP). This also works from 4HP, though not quite to the same extent.

OD Condor Spire has the same range as the MK version but with a much faster startup that makes it less vulnerable to Drive Impact and other reactive options. It's a fun surprise to throw out in neutral or at round start.

The MK and HK versions aren't quite as good outside of combos due to the longer distance and slower startup making them easier to space out and react to with big punishes.

• Windclad 236KK is projectile invincible for the duration of its active frames (frame 9-32).

One of the big reasons to play Lily. Depending on the available resources it's possible to bulldoze your way into a +1 or +2 on block situation from almost anywhere, which directly gives a mixup between 5LK and Grab. It also hits 3 times which allows it to plow through Drive Impact when used from a close enough range.

In the corner, and with an additional Windclad stock, a Windclad Condor Spire combos directly into Windclad Tomahawk Buster using the same strength button or faster (e.g. 236MK, 623MP).
The OD version can be cancelled into Level 2 Super for high damage anywhere on the screen, or in the corner it can be linked into a Level 1 Super.
The HK version in the corner also links into Level 2 Super... or even a Level 1 Super if it hits the opponent high enough in the air.

Important for converting off lights without wind stocks, or drive gauge. With Windclad stocked, you can juggle this after Windclad spire in the corner for an expensive but damaging combo. The OD version, while not a proper DP, has throw invincibility.

Her command grab, the backbone of her mixups. H command grab does the most damage, hitting harder than any of her normal hit meterless combos, but has the shortest range. Light has the longest range, but the lowest damage. All of the command grabs send you to full screen, but if you have a wind stock and enough drive for an EX, EX wind clad condor spire makes for a +8 on block meaty. Also gives you enough time to use a Condor Wind.
