What do I do in neutral as Lily?

[Snobby Hobo]

I keep asking these Lily questions nobody is going to answer as nobody plays her, but alas.

What do I do as Lily in neutral? My crouching heavy has good range but has a very slow windup (like 12 frames?). I often just drive rush into "something", but the crouching medium (which is the only canceleable option with any range that is low) has so little range - I often just lose against almost anything. DR into standing medium kick becomes predictable - same goes for crouching heavy (which is probably her best attack). The overhead doesn't go anywhere.

She does have a cross up but the hitbox is insanely bad - you essentially become this narrow pancake that is so easy to react to.

Just condor diving is wasting my stocks.

What the ♥♥♥♥ do I do?

I look forward to a opportunity to stock wind, then start the pressure with that Condor Spire move. From then on it's a matter of mixing up between command grabs or light confirms to DP or Ex spire, or command grab again.

For ground pokes I like standing MP and HK, but be on lookout for DI since it's not cancelable.

Her down HP I mainly use for anti air. Down HP cancelled into LK spire is good anti air.

Lily is super fun but I don't have the patience to watch guides, I try to learn as I go.

Windclad Condor Spire is +1 adv on block (+2 for EX). Could use that to setup a frame trap or command throw.
