How to play Lily in Street Fighter 6
As a new character joining the Street Fighter 6 roster, Lily is bringing a fresh set of skills to the fray, and we’re going to show you how to make the most of them.
We’re going to be going through everything you need to know to get started playing as Lily in the game, including her backstory, combos, and the best ways for you to get a handle on her.
How do you play Lily?
With her signature warclubs, Lily is a force to be reckoned with in Street Fighter 6. Similarly, to characters like Zangief and E. Honda, she specializes in throws and can envelop herself in the wind to enhance her power.
The best way to close the gap with Lily is to use the moves that edge her forward and chip away at her opponent’s health to deny their mobility. Then, start breaking their guard down with aerial attacks and throws.
