Cause Lidia like most of the cast is an EXTREME version of mostly safe 50-50 strings that transitions into another mixup if you guess wrong plus a safe fake demon paw where you have to eat on block and you have to keep guessing or the mixup starts over.. trash... Raven still plays like traditional tekken character even with all the annoying telaportimg.. he is still taking risks.. more mental frame advantage type of mixups using some disadvantage frames to mix your opponents up to the point where you could make your opponent swing when YOU wanted them to swing or not swing when you dont want them to swing so you can go for a more extensive mixups.. a lot more poking vs just pressure pressure pressure which this game promotes (if that makes sense kinda hard to explain without demonstrating in real time..
All of Lidias FF2 shyt loses to dikkjab unless they do the homing thing so I really don't think her mixup is notable at all outside of heat. Shes a huge knowledge check imo and you're far better than me so I'm pretty sure you know all this though.
I'm just curious because I was talking some OG players here and there are a mix of opinions on what real tekken is lol. Like for example you say Raven is real tekken just because he ultimately has meh frames and has to open you up with gimmicks and conditioning, when that essentially is the same thing Lidia has to do if you know the MU and she doesn't have the ability to do all the yolo teleport bs he has. Her pressure is also honestly ass, until shes in heat then she is a head ass character. Clive does have some forced 50/50 and it is corny but its really only off of a previous hit or a blocked WR2 which is very linear.
I play real Tekken anyway, Shaheen is the fairest character in the game
