Shōtōkan-style of Karate, her wide stances, straight closed fist strikes and performing the Kankū-dai kata in her reveal trailer, a signature kata of Shōtōkan. Kazuya Mishima’s fighting style is also based on Shōtōkan but Lidia’s is much more traditional. Shōtōkan is the most widely practiced style of Karate and also the most influential, with nearly all other styles of Karate (and some other martial arts as well, such as Taekwondo) listing it as an influence.
Several of Lidia’s attacks were motion captured from Tatsuya Naka of the Japan Karate Association and a 7th dan master that teaches Shōtōkan-style Karate.
Lidia’s background was sent out as a care package to some fans by Bandai Namco. A letter is included that is sent from Heihachi Mishima to Lidia in her capacity as head of state.
In the same above mentioned care package, a black belt with Lidia’s name on it is provided. The belt has the polish word “Potęga” (power) sewn onto it, along with “Polskie Karate” (Polish Karate), indicating she is likely has a black belt in a style of karate.
Her surname is possibly based on Jan III Sobieski, King of Poland who commanded the Polish Winged Hussars against the Ottomans in Siege of Vienna in 1683 in the largest cavalry charge of all time.
Her surname could indicate she is a descendant of, or named after the Sobieski household, a real-life noble Polish family which existed during the 16th and 17th centuries.
