Powerslide headshots also count as crouching and will trigger Flawless Execution, slugthrowing shotguns work well for this like Chaperone or Retold Tale. Otherwise I recommend actually just crouching with a longer range weapon, potentially with Knucklehead to retain radar, then while FE is enabled, close distance to target, and as OP said, then activate SB and go for the kill.
Also, You are not entirely invisible on the Motion Tracker. You WILL ping, however the interval is much longer between them, which should allow you to close the gap. However, on top of this, you aren't truly visually invisible either, you have a smokey purple outline which to a trained eye is actually easy to see.
I've tested all this in private matches as I've done all the new supers so I make sure I understand how they work. But yes, a shotgun will one shot you, and with the crap hit registration you won't even trade. And forget about dueling super vs. super with any of the other roaming supers, their damage reduction is too high to justify taking them on. (This also sadly results in a lot of panic supers which give them a huge spike in damage reduction and they immediately murder you. *stares at Fist of Havoc*).
There are advantages, despite the fact that people can still somewhat see you, if you actually open with a heavy attack, it will OHK a guardian without their super active. Additionally, you'll immediately turn invisible after the kill. The light attack is the one that has the crap hit detection, but since the heavy is a vertical arc, it has a higher chance of actually hitting.
Just my observations as well ^^

Foetracer may also be a good choice, for the strats you mentioned, and since it buffs damage on low health targets it may help take them out in situations they might have been able to escape. Plus that red x like thing they put right around guardian heads lol.
-
Yeah that's actually a pretty good idea, reminds me of the One-Eyed Mask for Titans, which helps a lot in keeping track of the person you're engaging.
-
I think that mask is much more powerful though, that said, it has helped me win 1v1 match ups because they were marked and did not realize they had a marker on their head telling me their every move. It does have a short duration but if you are invisible already it can help chain flawless executions, more frequently
-
Yeah the Mask is great for crucible and solo pve play for sure but I'll need to play with Foetracer more on my hunter and see how it feels.
-
It does not tell the player they are marked so that is it's one advantage over mask, that said, you may find other exotics more rewarding to equip, but if the goal is to chain FE kills then the perks of the other exotics may not be as helpful as a red cross around the enemy crit box. The fact that Foetracer does not alert the player that they are marked means you may be able to focus on getting another crit rather than chasing the enemy down when they run like he'll. I have not played against the mask so I don't know what it's like to deal with. The only forsaken rng exotic I have is trinity ghoul and I am trash with it so it barely gets used. I am still toying with strategies though it just dawned on me graviton forfeit would probably be even better than Foetracer, dang so many choices to sift through lol.
-
Only ones I've gotten are the Mask and Lord of Wolves (which at the moment is an ammo dump and doesn't really get much use). I'll have to mess around in some private matches and see how all of it plays.
-
You have that titan mask, I am jealous. Lord of Wolves has a higher drop rate so I personally would not count it, I have it too
-
I'll admit, the mask is cool effect wise, but looks-wise its kind of ugly x....x so while I equip it in PvP, in PvE I have other armor that works a little better perkwise and looks better even if it's only a legendary.
