Canada Cup hosting a 24-hour venue and a special Japanese surprise for Super Street Fighter II Turbo

With Canada Cup two months away, more and more big details are emerging about the event, to be held October 27-29 in Toronto, Ontario at the Hilton Airport. One of the biggest pieces of news mirrors that of Combo Breaker’s this year — Canada Cup’s venue will be open around the clock on Friday and Saturday nights, thus giving you ample time and space to get casuals and money matches in without having to room hop.

Another piece of big news in one of the names that will be involved in the 3-on-3 team tournament for Super Street Fighter II Turbo. None other than the legend himself, Daigo Umehara will be joining the event with other Japanese players yet to be named.

Fists and frills: learn the art of Lili with this combo breakdown for Tekken 7

Since her first appearance in Tekken 5, Lili Rochfort’s deceptive-yet-offensive fighting style has made her a popular pick. She’s relatively easy to pick up, is a lot of fun to play and can do a heap of damage when in the hands of a dedicated Tekken trainee.

For the aspiring Lili-mains, HurtboxTV has created a combo breakdown that deconstructs a few of her hard-hitting strings. Like the other combo breakdowns on this channel, the combos are performed and replayed in slow motion with inputs on screen for notation purposes.

Seeing as Lili is one of the most difficult Tekken characters to defend against, a breakdown of this nature can help those hoping to get the leg-up on Lili players as well. Check out the combo breakdown below, and if you have questions about Tekken’s input notation and frame data, perhaps you should look into the Tekken Chicken frame data app.
