In Lisa and the viewers' eyes, it was tough to escape the encirclement even for the real Felix. Don't even mention his copy.
He would utmost buy 10 or 15 minutes for himself before the ruse gets found out.
At that time, every player would be knowledgeable about his copy ability and its mind-blowing range.
It wouldn't be easy to fool them again.
Felix knew this as well. That's why his senses were in the copy as he wanted to manually control the Turtle so he could prolong the chase as long as possible.
So far, he was having an easy time doing so since not everyone had arrived yet.
Only six Turtles were somewhat near him and he was taking them in a wide circle, trying his best to remain inside his ability's range.
This chase kept going on like this until Felix noticed that more than 7 Turtles approached him from different directions.
