Yea, you need to zone too. And when recovering stamina, use threat of whiff punishment from storm rush.
That's not to say top light spam isn't important. It's the conditioning that sets up everything else.
I don't think riptide strike needs a feint though. Feints are nearly all useless in this game. Adding another useless feint won't help anybody.
Long range attacks can remain at their current speed. Some attacks need to be repurposed to be shorter range and faster to the point they are not easily reactable. There is nothing inherently wrong with unreactable attacks in fighting games, they just need to be limited in some manner. Range is a good limit.
