FIGHTER GUIDE IORI'S STRATEGY
Use this hub to reach practical combos, move data, matchup notes, frame data, and Iori's published videos for LILY.
Practical routes organized by starter, resources, corner position, and knockdown.
Classic-control routes are grouped by practical situation. Commands, frame values, and route order are preserved from the current Japanese source guide.
Move names use CAPCOM's official English Frame Data terminology. Route order and numerical values are shared with the Japanese guide.
5 = standing 2 = crouching 4 = back 6 = forward
DR = Parry Drive Rush CDR = Cancel Drive Rush PC = Punish Counter CH = Counter Hit Windclad = version that spends a Windclad stock
Condor Wind = 214P Condor Spire = 236K Tomahawk Buster = 623P Condor Dive = PP while airborne Mexican Typhoon = 360P
cr.LK > cr.LP > M Tomahawk Buster
• Basic low-starter combo • May not reach when cr.LK connects at its tip
cr.LK > cr.LP > cr.LP > [Windclad] M Condor Spire
• Basic point-blank route • Take the Windclad Condor Spire knockdown into okizeme.
Alternative option cr.LK > cr.LPx2 > [Windclad] L Tomahawk Buster > cr.HK Alternatively: > SA1
cr.MK > L Condor Wind
• Important route after the 2026-8-3 update • L Condor Wind attacks if the button is not held. • The attacking version does not add a Windclad stock.
cr.HP > M Condor Wind
Alternatively:
4HP > H Condor Wind
• Basic way to attack while gaining Windclad • cr.HP is easy to hit-confirm.
Add SA3: cr.HP > M Condor Wind > SA3
cr.HP / 4HP / 6HP > CDR > 4HP > st.MK > L Condor Spire
Alternatively:
> H Tomahawk Buster
• Basic Drive Rush combo without Windclad
cr.HP / 4HP / 6HP > CDR > 4HP > st.MK > [Windclad] H Condor Spire
• After [Windclad] H Condor Spire: +52F • A main route that transitions easily into setplay
cr.LK > cr.LP > CDR > st.LP > cr.HP > M Condor Spire
Alternatively:
> M Condor Wind > SA3
• Intended to finish the round
st.HP PC > 4HP > H Condor Wind
• Basic large punish after a blocked invincible reversal or Perfect Parry
From farther away: st.HP PC > 6HP > H Condor Wind
DI PC > neutral-jump Jcr.HP > 6HP > H Condor Wind
• Basic route that also gains Windclad
Damage-focused option DI PC > neutral-jump HK on a later active frame > 6HP > short-distance OD Condor Spire > SA1
Near the corner
cr.HP > [Windclad] H Condor Spire > [Windclad]OD Tomahawk Buster > OD Condor Dive > SA1 or SA2
• Intended to finish the round • Otherwise, continuing okizeme after [Windclad] H Condor Spire generally gives better reward.
Large punish at point-blank range
st.HP PC > H Mexican Typhoon
• Uses neither Windclad nor Drive Gauge • High-damage punish option
Various starters > CDR > 4HP > st.MK > CDR > cr.HP > SA1 / SA2 / SA3
• Drive-heavy route intended to finish the round
DI wall splat > 4HP > H Condor Wind
DI wall splat > 4HP > OD Condor Wind > SA2
fully charged L Condor Wind > cr.HP > H Condor Spire > OD Tomahawk Buster > OD Condor Dive > SA1 / SA2
j.HK > 4HP > [Windclad] H Tomahawk Buster > OD Tomahawk Buster > OD Condor Dive > SA2
L Condor Spire > +33F
M Condor Spire > +37F
H Condor Spire > +37F
OD Condor Spire > +43F
[Windclad] L Condor Spire > +47F
[Windclad] M Condor Spire > +49F
[Windclad] H Condor Spire > +52F
[Windclad]OD Condor Spire > +56F
Tomahawk Buster > +36F
Windclad Tomahawk Buster > +41F
Mexican Typhoon > +28F
SA1 > +27F
SA2 > +42F
Windclad SA2 > +43F
Regular L / M Condor Spire > forward dash > walk forward slightly
From there:
• cr.HP • L Mexican Typhoon • OD Mexican Typhoon • Wait and watch
The basic choices are:
Strike vs Command throw vs Watch for an invincible reversal
These are the 3 core options.
Windclad Condor Spire on hit > two forward dashes
A forward dash takes 21F.
[Windclad] L Condor Spire: +47F > Approximately +5F after two forward dashes
[Windclad] M Condor Spire: +49F > Approximately +7F after two forward dashes
[Windclad] H Condor Spire: +52F > Approximately +10F after two forward dashes
[Windclad] OD Condor Spire: +56F > Approximately +14F after two forward dashes
basic
[Windclad] H Condor Spire > two forward dashes > cr.HP / Mexican Typhoon / wait
Windclad Condor Spire leaves Lily at advantage even on block.
Approximate values
Regular Windclad Condor Spire > up to +7F
[Windclad] OD Condor Spire > up to +8F
From there:
• Light attacks • Mexican Typhoon • Watch for an invincible reversal
Lily's basic game plan
Build Windclad stocks ↓ Make the opponent block Windclad Condor Spire ↓ Strike versus command throw
Windclad Condor Spire on hit > slightly delayed forward jump
• Adjust the timing to create a safe jump. • The +52F after [Windclad] H Condor Spire is particularly easy to work with.
st.HP PC > 4HP > DR > cr.HP > [Windclad] L Tomahawk Buster > forward jump
• Midscreen safe-jump option • A jumping medium attack can be more reliable, depending on spacing.
st.HP PC > L Condor Wind attacking version > immediately whiff cr.LP > forward jump
• New setplay option after the 2026-8-3 update
st.HP PC > 4HP > [Windclad] H Condor Spire > whiff st.LK > forward jump
• For positions near the corner • Can create a safe jump under the right conditions
DI PC > neutral-jump Jcr.HP > 6HP > [Windclad] H Condor Spire > whiff cr.LP > forward jump
After a wall splat
DI wall splat > 4HP > [Windclad] H Condor Spire > whiff st.LK > forward jump
SA1 > +27F
Corner
SA1 > forward dash > cr.HP meaty
A forward dash takes 21F, leaving approximately +6F afterward.
From there:
• Condor Wind • Windclad Condor Spire
Continue into these options.
Mexican Typhoon > immediate [Windclad]OD Condor Spire
Time it to connect on a later active frame in the corner.
Possible follow-up on hit
> 6HP > H Condor Wind
Even on block, it leaves substantial advantage.
Afterward
• cr.HP • Mexican Typhoon • Wait and watch
Continue pressure with these options.
corner
4HP > contain grounded movement
Opponent jumps > j.MP air-to-air
Use these options to restrict escape attempts.
This is important for Lily's corner pressure.
Lily's command-throw threat can encourage the opponent to use invincible reversals.
During okizeme:
• cr.HP • Mexican Typhoon • block
Mix these options in.
After blocking an invincible reversal:
st.HP PC > H Mexican Typhoon
Alternatively:
st.HP PC > 4HP > H Condor Wind
High-damage option
DR 4HP PC > cr.HP > CDR > 4HP > st.MK > CDR > cr.HP > M Condor Wind > SA3
After the 2026-3 update
For OD Condor Spire, input:
LK+MK Alternatively: LK+HK
These button combinations select the short-distance version.
When to use it
• Adjust combo spacing • Connect on later active frames • Close-range setplay
After the 2026-3 update
After Windclad Condor Dive hits or is blocked:
Spend 1 additional Windclad stock to perform Condor Dive again.
• Can be repeated up to 1 time • An OD repeat also costs 2 Drive bars
When to use it
• Finish a round in the corner • Disrupt the opponent's punish timing
With the current L Condor Wind:
Release LP > attacking version
Hold LP > gain a Windclad stock
Attacking version: approximate properties
• Startup: 19F • Damage: 900 • Knockdown on hit • -8F on block • Long reach
Key sequence
cr.HP / 4HP / 6HP > L Condor Wind attack version
Alternatively:
Hold the button to gain Windclad instead.
Lily can now choose between:
Heavy attack > L Condor Wind for chip pressure vs Heavy attack > held Condor Wind to gain Windclad
Vary these choices to challenge the opponent's response.
1. cr.LK > cr.LP > M Tomahawk Buster
2. cr.LK > cr.LPx2 > [Windclad] M Condor Spire
3. cr.MK > L Condor Wind
4. cr.HP > M Condor Wind to gain Windclad
5. cr.HP > CDR > 4HP > st.MK > L Condor Spire

7. [Windclad] H Condor Spire > two forward dashes > cr.HP / command throw / wait
8. st.HP PC > 4HP > H Condor Wind
9. st.HP PC > 4HP > DR cr.HP > [Windclad] L Tomahawk Buster > safe jump
10. corner Mexican Typhoon > immediate[Windclad]OD Condor Spire meaty
• L Condor Wind attacking version added • Short-distance OD Condor Spire added • Windclad Condor Dive repeat added
Older guide videos may differ from the current version on these 3 points.

Combo and setplay conditions can vary with spacing, active-frame timing, and distance from the corner.
Recheck in Training Mode before using these routes in matches.
Frame advantage may vary with spacing, airborne hits, recovery options, and corner position. Verify important routes in Training Mode.
