A seldom used crab named Lucky. AKA Citizen Snips.
Over the weekend I attended a Virginia tourny which included players such as Swift Tom Hanks, Lionheart, Eazial, and Ryry. Muffin Muggers recently posted some invis tactics specifically doing 32invis and then from there mixing it up with either 32invis again and repeat or 321 if the opponent quits blocking.
Now this is the FIRST TIME I used 32invis on real opponents as a real tool. I have been using invis at the end of 321 and at the end of njp combos for a while but I never thought of pressuring with 32invis until Muffin Muggers made that thread. This being my first time utilizing the tool, I have not perfected it but so far I have been having success with it against very legit players.
Now people will say that the enemy can POKE out of 32invis. This is true, there is no denying that. However the reward compared to the risk is lopsided imo from what I have experienced so far. Because the point of the string is to use it when the opponent is conditioned to your 321acidhand. They will sit there and wait for the 1 to come out but then you go invis. From there you get a free chipping string or they fuck up and you hit them with a njp combo. When you condition them to poke the invis, then you instead just do the 321 string and can hit confirm the njp combo. This invis tool is very good and honestly while I was using it I felt like my pressuring raised to another level. Here are vids:

At 6:30 I do 32invis, Sub Zero tries to punish but is late and then I get a free njp combo. There are other times I use the invis pressure but I gotta rewatch to find the time.
Snips v. Swift Tom Hanks
I don't recall the time periods but I do end up using it several times in here, I don't think I hit him with njp combo from the setup but I do punish him with 321 because he tries to jump away.
Snips v. Ryry

I use the pressure a lot in this match, I do lose the set 2-3 but the matches were hella close. Also notice I put him in the corner and after the wall combo I go invis and just sit there and hold block baiting out the spin. Ryry is the best VA player and I am 2-2 against him in tournies (I'm salty and you will see me mentioning this often lol)
Snips v. Vegeta
This was after the tournament in a regional battle. Vegeta said he was really tired but still I go invis a lot so I'm posting hte vid anyways
