-Avoid using Rock Toss in this matchup, because he’s able to stuff the move on startup and slide under the projectile itself.
-Rolling Stone is your BFF in this matchup. It prevents him from doing the regular slide and also doesn’t allow him to use it as a reversal after a blocked Rolling Stone, so he can’t punish you if you do another one right after. Although his MB slide has armor, he’ll have to take the damage from the rock, and even if he hits you, he won’t get anything off of it if he doesn’t have the Ice Klone out (in Grandmaster).
-Both slides are -22 on block and can be punished with F121 (MB) Rock Drop.
- Grandmaster: Stone Shatter can destroy Ice Klone conveniently. Be careful about using it in the corner, though, because he’ll have the advantage to punish you and there’s a chance a part of you could touch the Klone and freeze. Edit: If sub has u in the corner and he tries to throw u into clone, u can punish with 12db2d full combo if u duck it. You won't hit the clone no matter how close.
-Grandmaster (
@God Confirm): you can meterless punish all but 1 of his clone cancels into full combo, with instant air quake.
-Cryomancer: B33 into Frost Hammer (low x2, overhead) is something he’ll go for a lot. There’s a gap between the second normal and the special which you can armor through with reversal MB Stone Punch.
-Unbreakable: Any normal can be countered with Barrier of Frost, including D4 at max range. Your best option against this is Stone Shatter, because despite the fact that he’ll be invincible to it during the barrier, you’ll recover slightly earlier than he does and have time to do D4. If you can read him doing it, hold the move until his barrier shatters, then let it go, and he’ll be hit.
-Unbreakable: Despite Barrier of Frost’s ability to nullify Rolling Stone, if he does it from fullscreen or slightly closer, you can do MB Ground Pulse before he recovers.
