Oh no, i don't like this homing thok AT ALL. It completely halts his momentum, when the hover actually let him maintain it. Please consider reverting it back to the downward hover in the next update. Oh, and have him in a spinball like i suggested. I think that would make it even more distinct from metal's than it already is. Actually, homing thok can stay, but perhaps consider relegating it to one of the custom buttons. Oh, and revert his acceleration back to the way it was. I evidently was mistaken in thinking it would make him more fun and balanced, now hes just kinda boring and frustrating.
Sorry if im a bit abrasive with these suggestions, I just see a lot of potential in him and i want to give my two cents on how to improve him
EDIT: Ok, just one more thing: let him enter peelout from low speeds rather than having to be standing still
