Characters for starters?

I agree that Omen’s mixups aren’t hard to perform, but he doesn’t have free-damage-against-low/mid-tier-players-easy-mixups like some characters of the cast (namely Shago, Riptor, and others). And although now I have much respect for Omen (unlike when I started to post here at the community, where I thought he was one of the worst), he’s IMO one of the hardest to unlock true potential. Omen lacks damage (please people don’t say he has damage, even Shago now has more damage than Omen with his damage ender buff), he beats people confounding them with his mixups. Reset with shadow form, and others stuff that I can’t reproduce in my gameplay when I watch very good Omens like ToneriSK8.

At high tier level, as all characters of the cast, his tricks start to not work anymore, the Omen player needs to have more sofisticated mixups. But unlike Shago, this happens much earlier with Omen IMO. I’m at this point. I can’t beat good players with basic tricks like shadow form after unsafe slide, or LK to cause flip out after Orda Ender. But when I fight against a low/mid-tier like me, they fall at these traps. Good players now what I’ll do. Also, auto doubles are kinda meh against them, they break them most of the time! Against high tiers you’re forced to learn manuals as Omen. Of course I’m very very casual, always taking breaks and doesn’t enter in KI some weeks, but I think I know a little about Omen, and it’s being frustating to improve with him. But not because the character is bad, he’s very good actually. That’s why IMO he’s hard to unlock, or I’ll just suck with him forever and need to consider quit Omen for good lol.
