I'm trying to get into Tekken and I want to ask, what's so bad about Lili? Everyone seems to hate her lol
Everyone hating her is a good thing, hehheh. Her sidestep/sidewalk is one of if not the best in game, making a lot of moves whiff. And her super high launching Matterhorn that ends up crushing a lot of mids, those would be two reasons for the hate. @Skkra could probably answer this question the best though.

Bloody hell she has all this stuff, sometimes I want to beg Harada for Paul to have an unblockable deathfist :DOGE

Okay, it's being recorded and restreamed tomorrow at 2pm EST on Spooky
Woo I can watch that.

Does anyone know the full situation with JDCR? Did he make it to America only to be told he couldn't compete?

EDIT: Can anyone give me a list of the tournaments in T7 that took place in like the last 4 months? Extra friend points if you give me MKX ones too. I need to catch up on my competitive FGC.

He was not allowed to compete. Which makes perfect sense, there is a Korean qualifier.

I think it makes sense too. Just wondering if the situation is "JDCR didn't read the rules carefully" or "It seemed ok but then Tekken rep comes out of nowhere to tell him he can't compete". But I understand why they are region locking the REGIONAL qualifiers.

Not sure about the rule reading on his part, or whether the obvious even needed to be stated. But I did hear Mike Murray say they would not want to tarnish the legitimacy of the Tournament or Dave and Busters, followed by a comment from JDCR saying that he was embarressed [as he should be] and had purchased his plane ticket already before being told he was not eligible to enter.

He lost some respect points from me on that one. Not only can he win the Korean qualifier, but... Tries to take the easy win by coming over and competing with the US who does not have the same time or experience with the game as himself. While also, would have been taking away one of their spots with his most likely free win, lol. Sad. Still like the guy but, sheeesh.

Who is Mike Murray?

Yeah it is pretty scummy that he tried to do that. But I also see it as that FG mentality of do whatever to win.

All of this. There's one thing about being competitive, but there's another about being a pure scumbag.

Lili has a gameplan that is pretty stupid but still feels pretty random

Her goal is knockdown you, so he can apply a bunch of oki games in ways you've never seen before, most lilis starts their gameplan with 22 that string is so stupid because blocking that puts you into a frame trap, where either she can sweep you for a knockdown, if she reads you will block the knockdown she will launch you or grab you just to get the knockdown.

And then the fun part starts, oki, and attacks that will track you no matter what you do, Lili is random AFK

Been staying away from watching T7 vids, because I want it to be fresh for me when it drops [and I'm not a window shopper]. Watching this NYC replay though and, damn I need this game.

BTW... Kazumi looks and sounds sick!
Link the archive when it's up so I can watchhhh! Lol!

I feel you though. It is hard knowing how long a wait it's gonna be.
