once they figure out it can transform they are automatically cautious that it might transform at any time. most opponents aren't going to be looking for a pattern in angle that it transforms, just that it transforms to begin with.

my single most analytical fighter, the mercenary Vadasz (who looks for every little detail before he even considers gong to the offensive)  would realise it could shift forms, but the method or requirements would be irrelevent, he would determine thta it can change, how it changes, and then simply avoid being within the range of the extended form, which is easy for him because he is a ranged specialist. once he knew it was multi-form, he would keep a lose eye on HOW it changes i order to watch for differences in the pattern that might indicate a different form, however.
