Pretty sure ICPM can be YRC but the window is really early on, almost immediately after input (before Pot even starts "flying")

Hi everyone. Been lurking around dustloop for way too long and decided it was finally time to get into the hype/discussion/discussion-hype/whatever. I main Potemkin, but am basically a noob for all intents and purposes. Know most of the lingo/terminology/strategy, just can't do it to save my life. But yeah, I really hope Pot gets some utility back. No 2S vacuum is, I think, one of the most grievous nerfs to ol' Pot, especially because I noticed FAB consistently do it out of what was probably muscle memory in some of the earlier tournament footage, only to have it knock his opponent away, causing him to then wiff heat knuckle. In terms of the concept of "anti-frustration" grappler design, would turning the now amusing novelty of ICPM into an unblockable air grab ("sticks" the opponent while they are airborne) go against such a philosophy? On one hand, it would give ICPM some versatility: Either YRC for movement or try and nab your opponent when they try and jump in. On the other hand, that could be seen as a "cheap" and overly simplified alternative to something that could be more "combo-able" like air-Pot-buster. And finally, has anyone even done ANYTHING with Pot's flame pillar move? I feel like the slight delay could be used for oki if it hits a bit on the sides, but if it's simply vertical, I dunno what the point of it is when heat knuckle exists. Apologies for the classic "HI EVRYONE MY 1ST POST LEMME DERAIL DISCUSSION WITH TEXT WALL" post.
