Try the ex version from time to time. Or you could do ice burst instead of grab or hammer. Keep your opponent guessing.

The point of tick throws is that you use them when the opponent is defensive and blocks a lot. When he is not then followup with your normal strings...

Try the other options. Take as example the D4 cancelling the other special attacks:

D4xxIce Hammer
D4xxBurst
D4xxSlide (same as Polar Puncture)

Mix them with the Polar Puncture, and you'll see that he'll get confused.

Another option would be to punish him with fast attacks.
 
If you seriously want to play this character. Then work on doing raw polar puncture without tick throws, so, the opponent will always jump to avoid all contact with Cryomancer.( this is the phase I'm at LOL)
I show you the biggest one bar corner combo from the polar puncture with him ( not that it helps LOL)
polar puncture+ ex ice burst--b2--f1+2+2--1+1+1+polar punture =31%
normal combo midscreen meterless
1+1+1(b1+2)+ice ball--jip--f1+2+2--f1+2+2--b1+2+polar puncture =33%

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
The best thing about having a Cmd Grab or a scary grab game, is people losing to the fear of the Grabs rather than the grabs itself .

So what that means is they going to be mashing, running away and jumping all over the place because there fucking terrified.

So if they in that state before the match begins they are already conditioned and your job as a grappler is done for you, so don't do the grabs and finish your staggers and stop cancelling Cmd grabs off pokes but instead use the frames you got to catch them with a normal and full combo.

If opponent decides to just turtle then boom introduce them to Suplex city.
