EDIT: Lobo has since been buffed, and many of these setups are out of date, or not possible at all due to his Hook Charge being changed. 


A short video demonstrating some of the possibilities that Lobo's strings give him due to range and advantage. 

MB Charge - Safe on block, when connected close enough, Lobo will swap sides with them at the very last minute, making it very hard to tell what direction he's facing while the opponent wakes up. You can guarantee this every time from a connected B2,U1 or B1,2 so long as you connect it as a string. 

From here, you can go for some confusing looking setups as demonstrated here. 

On block you will be safe, and can potentially backdash block string attempts, or you can while if you anticipate a backdash. 

B1,2 - Low starter that gives + frames on block. On block, string guarantees a free D1, which can be chained into MB charge for neutral situation. Great string to do up close and can be hitconfirmed into B1,2,13 on hit. 

B2,1 - Overhead into low, on hit lands huge damage, -8 on block, make this move safe by chaining it into a MB charge for neutral setup, on hit also guarantees Lobo to swap sides if chained into MB charge. 

On block, Lobo can also chain into low gunshot, which is scary should Lobo have a nuclear round stocked. 

Corner control from Lobo's standing 3 is effective if you keep your opponent scared to jump out, some characters have to make the right read to escape, and Lobo has more options due to safe specials and the range/startup of standing 3. 

2,1 - long range string that can be chained into his low/high whip, this is especially effective at chasing down backdashes on the opponents wakeup, works well from a connected low whip, as most characters cannot backdash. Is NOT 100% safe should the opponent jump on wakeup, it's your duty to condition the opponent not to jump. 

Nuclear shot makes F2,3 splat the opponent, allowing Lobo to land some ambiguous crossups on the opponents wakeup.
