Additionally, all of Lisa Lisa’s rekka mixups are prone to being Stylish Dodged, and are highly telegraphed, meaning variety alone won’t be enough to prevent opponents from making their way out.

While it’s tempting to mash buttons during her rekkas, this will only get you moves you don’t want and free combos for your opponent. Her normals are mediocre at best, and her moveset lacks an anti-air of any kind, forcing her to play evasively when on the defensive and struggling in neutral. She has few tools to get in where she wants to be, with j214A knife throw being her best option but forcing into her rekka state which makes her highly vulnerable if the knife throw didn’t connect. Most combos requiring more than one meter aren’t worth it, only doing marginally more damage, and the meter is better spent performing two more standard one-bar combos. However, Lisa Lisa isn’t without drawbacks. Lisa Lisa doesn’t have many routes for real combos, but doesn’t really need them - for a single meter, her standard combo does upwards of 450 damage, aside from the fact that her cornerstone hop combos do 300+ damage for only a tenth of a meter.

Conditioning your opponent is paramount to playing Lisa Lisa, since the majority of her rekka moves do not combo into each other and are instead a complex series of mixups between highs, lows, and a throw. Her rekka starters all have different use cases: 6R is a "super-sidestep" that can easily chain into rekkas off a well-timed dodge, 236A is an exceptional combo or blockstring tool which will even crumple if you spend meter, j214A is a powerful oki tool and useful for mixing up opponents on wakeup, and 6H is a fast anti-air. Afterwards, she can use various inputs to string together a variety of rekka moves, then ending with one of three different finishers.
This requires intimate knowledge of abusing her rekkas, initiated with 236A, j214A, 6H, and 6R (axis rotation button). Stringing together various mixups, she’s able to deal massive damage before the opponent can properly react. Lisa Lisa’s playstyle revolves around your ability to get in the opponent’s face and keep pressure on them. Use mind games to get in, then keep up the pressure with devastating multi-branching rekkas.
