WOOLAY!!!!
So noticed this hasn't been posted yet and decided to make one. I'll start off: How are you guys approaching the Sub-Zero Matchup? I know if he does a block string into ice clone I can punish with Ex OH punch for full combo but the issue in the matchup is playing the fullscreen game against a sub who sits behind clone. Anyone have advice?

Ground Pound is your friend. Air Ground Pound (Pumped Up) is a ridiculously underrated counter-zone tool because it allows you to both alter your air trajectory and punish the incredibly long recovery fireballs have in this game, leaving you at advantage.

Here's the first part of three videos of KH Cat playing against KH Scar, Grandmaster vs Pumped Up. I don't think he utilizes Ground Pound much, but it gives you an idea of what to do with Jax.
