Tekken 8 Lidia combo examples

To execute a perfect combo for a Tekken 8 fighter, you must be immaculate with the inputs until the last step, and the same applies to Lidia Sobieska. Fortunately, the game has provided some of her combo examples, which are simpler to learn.

f, F 3> 2, 2> during Cat Stance 2, 2> f, F 4, 3

This string begins with a Flying Forwards Kick, which provides a decent launch on an opponent. Use the time to throw in a double jab to immediately enter the Cat Stance. The rest is fairly easy to execute, so make sure to learn this at the beginning.

The only move you need to be mindful of is the Hazy Moon Double Kick at the end.

While rising 2> b 2, 3> d/f 2> during Cat Stance 2, 2> qcf 2, 2, 1+2

The while-rising moves are perfect for catching an enemy off-guard. The Upward Thrust is relatively safe on block, so use it to launch a challenger whenever they miss their high attacks. The rest is simply the Birds of Prey move converging into Cat Stance.

f, F 3> b 2, 3> d/f 2> during Heat and Cat Stance 3 F> b 2, 3> d/f 4, 2> f, F 4, 3

The Heat system provides a massive power surge to any fighter, allowing them to extend their combos. Lidia can use the mechanic to also unleash some solid damage on opponents. Here, timing the High Left reverse Hook Kick from the Cat Stance is crucial to nailing the moves at the end.
