I've noticed that it is very rare for J-20 to use its afterburners. The Nov 3 rehearsal is the first time I can see J-20 using its afterburners (excluding some takeoff clips captured in 2011). So I think its subsonic agility could be hugely underestimated even though the entire aircraft is optimized for supersonic maneuvers. In comparison, to make a low speed airshow performance look good, F-22 mostly has the afterburners on during the flight.
