However, everyone else can mash - I mean "pressure" since she can't do anything. One good counter and she's fucked, but again, you don't want Alpha mashing when she's the only character that has reason to.
The playing in space could be setting this up. Pressuring Alpha is good - pressure FROM Alpha is bad (because she's mashy or the player is mashing with her. I've seen those Alphas).
But yeah, instead of complaining that she's not in your face, get in hers, but note you're running the same risks if said Alpha's are actually competent!
Don't underestimate the player controlling her as I would take a great mindfuck over a "mudane" controller-fuck anyway -- especially if the mindfucking part leads to it. I so wish we could play right now @Lady Tengu! You think you've succomb to a weakness! You ain't seen shit, child! X
