Why You Should Play Lidia In TEKKEN 8

[@Boogard]

What do you guys think about Lidia? Are you planning on picking her up?

[@Yocking]

as a Lars main she seems quite interesting

[@FennecFOX_0392]

already adding her to my roster of characters i am playing.

[@genzo454]

Yes, 100% adding her to my roster (Victor, Dragunov, Leroy)

[@ggmasterguiltygear6315]

She's cute!

[@Tommy-fi4cc]

I tried her today for first time.and love her!!

[@deepankar_gautam]

Her movements are not clunky, she is using karate and her movements are way more snappier then rest of characters.

[@inkakuna]

Imo Lidia is one of the best new characters in the series, she looks great and represents traditional karate with perfection. Saying she feels clunky is weird since she uses karate, a style known for being blocky, precise and, at times, robotic with movement. Her stance rushdowns just feel NASTY!!! She should get a small buff to her kit of lows, keep them bad but at least usable

[@Samaelx.]

Shush pleb. Worst character introduced in the game

[@MrBones105]

I've been waiting for Lidia since the game came out, and I think she's pretty great. I'm definitely not a Tekken expert, but at least so far, I feel like every time I dig a little deeper with her I feel like I discover something cool with her that I didn't know I could do, which isn't true of every character I've picked up in this game.

[@bazza3664]

I feel like her stances remind me more of Steve. She's like a more full commitment, mixup focused version of Steve with the same feeling of flowing between flicker, crouch, peekaboo etc. Same issues with weak lows

[@zenbrown7144]

I've mained Steve since the T8 launch, and she feels a lot more similar to him than I expected.

[@H4th4w4y_]

I like her playstyle, she seems like she should be played as a more defensive Reina

[@Boogard]

Ngl I feel like no one is gonna play defense on her it's gonna be mash city lol

[@Reseng]

@@Boogard She definitely has a ton of pressure game, but I feel like I personally do best with her when I play her like I play Jin: explosive in bursts. I'm nothing special, but I think with everyone expecting unga-bunga, a smart playstyle will go far with her.

[@H4th4w4y_]

@@Boogard I will simply fight the Unga Bunga Brigade by myself

[@burni988]

I think playing super aggro is the way to go with her tbh. She doesn't really have good range bar a couple decent whiff punish buttons. Her good lows like db3 require you to be basically in the opponents face for it to even be a threat. I like to pile on the plus frames, stay in the opponents face, mix in the db3 power low and then try and get counter hits when I feel like the opponent is gonna try and mash out of my pressure.

[@roger2599]

lidia i think shouldn't be played defensively, she needs to be right up her opponent's face and do mixups with her stances but thats just my opinion

[@aracystic28]

Honestly as a Jun main, I was hoping Lidia would scratch that itch for aggression for me with the stance switches plus the defense.

[@Krethean]

Having played Reina, I really like how Lidia plays, and it feels pretty natural to me. While she felt more rigid comared to Reina's transitions, that rigidity didn't really get in the way, like I feel Jin's does (it's why it has taken me some time to try Jin). I am looking at trying her parries out to see how to use them in my game plan, but I definitely feel I can play decently with her as is. Trying to learn the better transitions and stuff I can do with them like how I can with Reina. So yeah, honestly Lidia is a fun character for me, and going to be my trio I run with. Reina, Lidia and Heihachi, with Asuka as a secondary.

[@user-ko3sd9qj2h]

Funny I play Jin exclusively but I've been considering picking up both Reina and Lidia because I like their style. One a heihachi without heihachi and the other because I'm obviously a karate nut

[@ZombieRommel]

Landing a Heaven and Earth parry on people mashing feels godlike lol. She isn't clunky but she has a super heavy onboarding phase where you are figuring out which moves go into which stances and what you can do from each stance. Starting to figure her out after a few hours online.

[@Xbox.4388]

She’s cool but I keep hearing ppl say that she looks like Nina I’m sorry but I don’t see it Lidia looks like Lidia to me

[@citrusblast4372]

Either way they completely changed her face from t7. That should be obvious to see

[@Tommy-fi4cc]

@@Xbox.4388 ppl say the earth is flat

[@Davidb5212]

Awesome video. Not really intrested in her but ill definitely try her out

[@Boogard]

You might like her more then you think

[@versatilelord8893]

@@BoogardI feel a lot of the community would like so much more of the tekken cast if they were more open minded honestly

[@genzo454]

Maybe I'm just crazy, but for the little I've played Lidia, I've been playing her very light in the stances. And I'm saying this as a Victor main who loves his Iai stance. Maybe once I get more used to her I'll get more into the stances. Still absolutely love her smile though 💕.

[@Boogard]

Her design is so good

[@versatilelord8893]

You honestly kinda have to since her raw stances are pretty risky You gotta got do buttons that transition into stance Kinda like victor’s perfumer 2,2 into iai stance

[@genzo454]

@@versatilelord8893 Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't use raw CAT or HRS stance, I usually enter stance from 2,2 or f,F+2, as you can't move freely in Lidia's stances, unlike Victor's Iai stance, so entering from neutral is super risky.

[@dogboyton3166]

Well, I’m still bouncing between characters (I’m a fairly new player, so I haven’t figured out a main yet), so I might as well try her out. I generally take a character to Garyu and then try another out - I feel like it’s enough to give me a feel for a character’s playstyle without fully committing. I honestly hit random a lot to figure out who I’ll go for next, but Lydia looks like a lot of fun

[@SW-ns7sg]

She just looks so cool

[@MauricioFernando17]

I started playing her and she's really fun and its satisfying to win with her

[@kahalghafri]

I like your content keep on making tekken vids!

[@mattiej2311]

She's super fun

[@Boogard]

Some of the most fun I've had with the game

[@asugarush8970]

d2 CH guarantees a FC df2 which puts you in heat. Saving grace for that d2

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Absolutely the first charecter in 8 that I just clicked with.

[@Bingchirringg]

It’s taken me a day and a half to reach the top of red with her. Stupid fun, and gonna shoot for Tekken Emperor at least.

[@ATOMiiCChicken]

New to Tekken and just curious how many games did you play roughly to get to red?

[@Sourheart]

Great vid, I was already loving Reina and Lidia seems very similar. Earned the sub!

[@Boogard]

Thanks for the sub!

[@IronFist78]

I really liked Lidia but never played her that often in t7. But in this game I'm gonna play a lot with her.

[@willthelemon5681]

I definitely played a bunch of Lidia then went back to Reina and Reina just feels so good to play for me. I'm still on the Lidia main train but i definitely just need to get used to how she plays. Her mids are excellent when you can hit them.

[@riku528]

Lidia is the first character I stuck to learning in T7 as I always was intimidated by the big movelist despite playing Tekken previously. Felt nice but I never really got it going with the character online. But now I feel that I want to spend more time because they’ve added her again and I enjoy her a lot in this game as I did previously. But I am still on the dilemma of if I want to play online because I don’t feel like I learn much playing online because I’m not that good at Tekken and when I have played online I will only play mashers which makes it really difficult for me. It’s not like street fighter where I can deal with it easily. This is really my first time truly playing Tekken compared to other times I’ve dabbled with the series

[@lilwu7729]

Although her d2 isn’t the best, you can get good use off counter hit. You get a guarantee fc 2 heat engager. Something to keep in mind

[@Mokujinko]

Not such a fan of the pressure-oriented gameplan but I miss Kazumi. Her karate really pops this game in a way it didn't in Tekken 7. That in mind, will be trying her out. Hopefully she has some decent defensive options.

[@versatilelord8893]

Lidia is mainly a rushdown character. Even in t7 she was but her defensive options are very fun to use because she has sick parries and stance cancels that help you evade and whiff punish

[@Wolfianzero]

Definitely want to play her as alt lili

[@LuckyRaphi]

I actually like her db3. Of course its not strong on paper but you have to keep in mind that nobody ducks against lidia and its homing. And db344 is one of the best knowledge check strings in the game, its like eddys 333 string in lower ranks. And i see pros do db3 often.

[@kevinmendoza3862]

Still waiting for her to release since I don’t have the season pass. But as of recently, I’m starting to practice stance characters like Xiaoyu, Hwoarang, Steve and Yoshimitsu, but I’m definitely gonna put more time and energy in mastering Lidia.

[@WaynoTube]

I got her last night but was finishing the story (ive only had the game a few days and limited chance to play) il be trying her out tonight hopefully. She looks decent though

[@NintendoNoctis-ub8fo]

Super excited to get my hands on her tonight. She looks so well animated

[@Boogard]

Her ff2 is so satisfying to hit

[@BotchaLoa4]

I love her i leared to play because of her

[@FullAdDariusBR]

Muscle mommy and shotokan karate, those are enough reasons.

[@captainnwalps6689]

She feels like Manon in SF6. Kinda weak in the first round but once you get her stacks she will blow you up in later rounds. Her combo damage gets absolutely nutty

[@winterfan8298]

...i really wish there was more push back on Namco for Universal Rage Art inputs, especially if you have a button mapped for them...the unintentional RA's are terrible 😣

[@akumaisreal2090]

Really Aggressive Pressuring Execution

[@tunzv7282]

I’ve been playing Lidia since she was released, right now I’m Garyu. The only complaint I have about her is that I can’t find a combo or safe ways to link her Rage art or her Heat smash

[@YousefTsuKun207]

I love the way to making videos to tekken ❤

[@Mariethiemink990]

Ill try lidia but i wanna be at least decent with the mishima roster (currently on kazuya)

[@phenom504]

I think a lot of people have “you know who” on their mind which could be a reason why people wouldn’t use her or may not be that interested. Plus Tekken has a ton of stance characters so I could see how someone would choose another over her. But she has some interesting moves and I’m sure someone who sticks with her and who may or may not have already played her in T7 will destroy me and everyone else

[@OvermindVic]

Im a plish guy. I bought her, changed her outfit and hair to more formal and elegant one, changed my nickname to Beata Szydło and now I am ready to kick ass with an ACTUAL prime minister of Poland!

[@lastsonofktn]

yep im the stance hater, i will sit in the waiting room until october but thats totally fine because means heihachi is returning. Great video as always

[@SeriousPeaches]

I think Im gonna get the season pass once its 50% off and the price its supposed to be.

[@pokefriend123]

Everyone in the game is a stance character, what makes her any different? She just has a strong heat just mash buttons!

[@ravagingfighter2204]

I hear Lidia is a less effective Reina . But I haven’t fought one yet . Wat do u guys think? Also: Jin stance mix is fun and strong IMO

[@Bingchirringg]

Idk about less effective. I’ve been playing her since early access, and I can already pretty efficiently handle flame ruler and above Reina’s.

What, how did You get the wrong take? He basically said YES, go Buy and play Lidia unless You don't like stances bases characters and Even then he said that maybe You Will discover thar Lidia stance Game is fun.
