Dew Glide Cancelling
A technique unique to Lili's Dew Glide, allowing it to be cancelled via tapping up to sidestep into the background. This has ample utility in Lili's neutral, pressure, and combos; as many of her moves cancel into Dew Glide fairly early into their animation, reducing their overall recovery while still allowing her to confirm follow-ups if the move hits. She can choose to cancel the sidestep to block or do a regular option; or she can simply perform the sidestep to dodge and punish an opponent's attempt to take their turn.
Note that this technique only works by tapping up and not down, as Dew Glide counts as a crouching state that forbids a down input from counting as a sidestep. This means the direction in which Lili sidestep cancels Dew Glide depends on what side she is playing on (SSL on the left side and SSR on the right). This may have a minor impact on this technique in certain matchups. It is still possible to quickly cancel the sidestep by walking back and then sidestepping in the desired direction, but this is difficult to do effectively.
Instant Sidewalk
a so-called "homing" move.
Done by very quickly double tapping and holding the second input of the sidestep. If done properly, this will slightly increase the sidestep's evasiveness. Though this technique is technically doable by every character, it is by far most notable on Lili, as it boosts her already great sidestep's evasion to the point where it can evenâon rare occasionâdodge certain homing moves.
Similar to cancelling Dew Glide into sidestep into a move, the input for this is not bufferable, so it may take practice to get down.
