I see your point. Let me ask this. What happens whgn you add the ice clone and its burst damage. You could set it off with ice burst for a second layer of defense tho it's nighimpoosible to setup before had. I also noticed the increase in damage from iceburstclone. I did a simple clone into f3 I believe, the one that starts the gab combo string, then ended with clone.
Sounds like you are theorycrafting heavily here. For starters, this is heavily positioning dependant, as you have to be standing practically touching the clone for it to shatter, making it an unlikely place for anyone to be jumping in on (seeing as back dash and letting clone freeze them will punish even harder, and for zero meter, in most cases). Obviously, you can't do it off a wake up either, which was the whole point of this discussion. Then, you have to make sure your Ice Burst hits them BEFORE they touch you, making your armour is useless because even tho the animation will armour through, the clone disappears on hit. Then on top of all this, all this doesn't even matter, because what you are suggesting doesn't work, if the Clone shatters on the burst, the shards launch them and you can't combo off it anywhere but directly facing them in the corner. So all you can get off it is 18%, except you don't get the untechable Slide knockdown.
Just a word of advice for the future, you should test these things before making such statements man. Easy to do in practice mode. I don't mind explaining it - others will rage and call you a scrub if you use untested statements like this in discussion
If I was sub's I stand in front of the clone and snowball then explode it upon any teleport attempt. Now as for Tanya against subsz I love the fact that can punish almost ever ice clone into snowball with a quite run jump teleport. And that's for free. I wouldn't place Kenshi anywhere near godlike though. Even with the changes. To much can bait it then punish. Can ex ice burst beat out the grab or sword slashs?
Ice Burst can POSSIBLY beat out Blade-Nado, but there is a real small timing window. Too early and you will connect but he armors through and gets you, time it the same and you armor through each others first hit, except he hits multiple times, so chances are he is going to win this trade everytime. And while you get 18%, he gets 30% and a standing reset with a frame advantage.
I don't think Kenshi is godlike either. But that just further proves that godlike is pretty inaccurate term to describe Iceburst. It's workable. Nothing amazing tho
