After a bit more fiddling with the idea, it seems like you can do ex statue, ji1, 242, njp, shatter, b12 xx clone to get the meterless freeze. Not sure where to go from here.
EDIT: got my wires crossed. Shatter after njp is very spacing dependent. Found while working on the Jason MU, not QC.
Thinking about ending these combos in slide and giving up safe clone, then just doing b12 xx clone on their wake up. I want to see the player who has the nerve to punish b12 xx clone after they get hit by this punish.
