this is amazing im totally stealing this
Honestly you kinda don't need to, or at least you don't actually NEED to do the teleport most of the time. You can usually just neutral jump or forward jump and get the same result. The pro's of the teleport are that it might confuse people (doubtful) and it'll build some meter, but the nj2 is - on block. If you just do a forward jump and get the j1 you get a free block string and technically a better combo.
In both cases you can empty jump and go for the b3 into fireballs for the low option.
That aside, how are people opening up their opponents with imposter? You've got 1 low, and its a very very nice one, but you NEED to commit to the fireball for it to combo and can't hit confirm it. If it's spaced just at the tip of the b3 you'll get all 3 fireball hits on block or hit, so that's nice, but when you're up in their face it feels extremely risky. I'm totally willing to empty jump throw, but lacking a real low option, especially that can be hit confirmed, hurts (or am I forgetting a string? I feel like one of them might start low, but I can't remember now and don't have time to start back up).
Further he seems to lack a real pressure game with almost everything leaving him at - frames. d4 sets up nice on hit at least, but beyond that i'm somewhat at a loss.
And while i'm pondering junk i'm having a hard time seeing a point to amulet strike, both normal and ex. At the very least normal seems to give you a standing reset if you want(although mimic is WAY better at that), but EX strikes me as mostly useless? Maybe as a safe EX option when hit confirming (b3 into EX amulet should be safe on block or hit regardless of spacing, but it won't get you much unless you're in the corner unless i've missed some awesome followup).
Oh and can he run cancel anything (I saw something briefly about cage and others having it, but so far haven't been able to do it off of anything? Strings or specials.)
All this aside I'm still liking the potential to imposter. The stolen moves are looking slightly better now that i've gotten my hands on them ,and the mimic special itself is actually one of the best standing resets in the game. I don't think he's about to become top tier over night, but I could see him as a setup monster in the right matchups.
Edit- also as we find more stuff we might want some variation specific topics sticiked so it's easier to find what you're looking for specifically.

instant overhead j1 out of teleport mixed with b3 after you land is exactly what I was thinking but wasn't sure if it could be timed right to be a legit 50/50. I wasn't sure it was possible to time it right so that it would be both inescapable and hard to block, thank you for showing this! Is it difficult to do the tele low enough in order for this set up to work?
