Honestly haven't played the game in awhile, just checking around and asking because everyone seems to be using Imposter. While mimicry is a BIG deal (damage buff, easy way to set up overhead and make it more of a "true" mix-up), along with the teleport utility, how the hell are you guys playing footsies?
I mean, he literally has nothing to space you out. F4 (old b3 is minus, F2/F22 is minus, honestly quite slow (17f), has a lot of recovery and can be low profiled (compared to someone like Cassie, D'Vorah, Kotal and their mids) ...
Bone-Shaper has that nice F41 with hella range, pushback and -4 on block (and also makes all 3 hits of orbs land regardless of spacing, which may prove to be useful in the future as we incorporate mb / no mb orbs). F4 on its own is -7 and i labbed it up, its quite easy to punish with a D1 with just a bit of practice, so unless you're going to commit to burning a bar EVERY time so make it +, what are you guys doing? Not to mention, F4 on it's own does not make all 3 orbs land unless spaced properly. What this means it that because the third orb whiffs you would be doing the mb/ no mb orb mix-up on the 2nd orb, which makes it significantly easier to punish on reaction due to distance than on the 3rd orb. (Kind of difficult to explain this, if you don't understand what i'm saying i will edit and clarify).
If you cannot space well, counterpoke with F4 safely, what are you guys doing to remain fundamentally sound? Realistically you can only rely on lucky hits + teleports for so long, you need a stable ground game to be consistent; and that overhead isn't exactly to land in the neutral game, nor is it safe or option-selectable. So with an unsafe low (unless you spend meter), an average at best mid (f2), and an unsafe and slow overhead, how are you guys making out in the neutral game? I ask because I haven't messed around with it that much, due to these reasons (and I don't have the patch STILL so i can't even mess around with it).
