Ground shatter restand - combos and advantage

NothingPersonal

Are you not entertained!?
So Ground shatter restands the opponent from the air, thus leaving him without the option of getup. But, it Shao Kahn is negative. I'll list the most damaging combos I found and the best strings to cancel into which end in ground shatter with frame data advatage on restand.
21xxBF3amp, dash, 4xxBD4 - 246.87, -8
21xxBF3amp, walk forward, 1xxBD4 - 210.43, -6
F21xxBF3amp, dash, 4xxBD4 - 246.04, -6
B3, bd3amp, dash, 1xxBD4 - 184.68, -6
1 / 12 / 14 / 2 / F2(from mid to close distance) / B2(doesn't hit from max range) / 3 / 4 - cancel into ground shatter with +5 advantage on hit.
I'd say it's a gimmick at this point, but I'll try it out in matches and will make conclusions.

The restand just doesn't seem worth it. If you end a combo with it mid screen not only are you still negative in frames but it knocks your opponent away. That knock back is the only reason why Shao Kahn can't be punished after using it to restand mid screen.

If your opponent is in the corner your ass is getting punished. Lol
