Knockdown Advantage: All scenarios assume that opponent will Back Rise midscreen when possible, unless otherwise stated.

623LK, Dash, DR~ 214HP, 623LK, Dash, DR~	±0	This is useful to set up against opponents that use reversal SA. The freeze occurs during the first frame of your attack, allowing it to be canceled into a higher priority input. This is not effective against grab supers (Lily, Manon, Zangief SA3). 5LP - Trades with 4 frame moves. - Make safe against reversal SA by canceling into Drive Parry or SA during the freeze. - With no meter, make safe against Marisa's reversal SA1 by canceling into Throw during the freeze. (+11)DR~5LP - Trades with 4 frame moves into 2LP combo against some characters. - Can be beaten by OD reversals on reaction. - Cannot cancel into Drive Parry, so reversal SA must be countered with 623KK or SA.

Frame Kills

This section covers move sequences that can be used to take up a specific amount of frames to set up the perfect timing for Lily's various mixup options.

The following chart is split into columns of 18 frames, which is the duration of Mai's forward dash.
Performing a sequence before or after a forward dash will increase the total duration to the value directly to the right.
For example, 33 frames can be killed with 2HK, and also with Dash 2LK or 2LK Dash.

Sequences ending with "~" mean a chain cancel is required. Such sequences are only compatible with setting up meaty light attacks.
Other sequences that end with a light normal are not compatible with setting up meaty light attacks.

Drive Rush

When canceling a normal into Drive Rush on block and following it up with another normal, there may be an interruptible gap in the blockstring. The following table lists these blockstring gaps when performed at the fastest possible timing.

Gap Value	Meaning
0	True Blockstring (no gap) if input with fastest button timing; can still lose to Drive Reversal
1 to 4	Small blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt with an invincible reversal; a 4f gap can trade with 4f normal attack
5+	Large blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt without an invincible attack
