A) That last criteria happens all the time, though. There's a reason why corners screw boxers over so much-- because their main movement is geist into korken. They're almost always using korken, unless a specific scenario necessitates the use of orkam, or they're in 1 range at the start of their turn. It's kinda their bread and butter movement skill.
B) At first, sure. That one point isn't a huge deal if they're already up to that point. What if they can't reach that point, though? Because they got clumsy early on, and effectively CAN'T build their stacks? Then, as you stated above, korken is worthless, for one, even when clumsy is off. Their damage is dramatically lowered, which is 90% of what boxers do: raw damage.
C) Should they be able to? Why SHOULD a single status pairing make someone completely unable to fight back against you? That's the definition of overpowered-- if the person with a ryeser outranges you, you're dead. There's no helping you. That's not so much a counter, as it is just plain unfair. Sure, you can build for crit evade-- but crit evade can be difficult to build for, and you get 3 tries for it with a ryeser ANYWAY because it's a multishot gun. Same for hit chance-- even with a 40% hit chance, you're bound to hit at least one in a single volley.
At the very least, even if geist doesn't get a special exemption, I feel like clumsy should get an immunity period. It's far too easy for a ryeser user to just shut you down and hold you there until you die. Dodging won't help, because hexer or any class with Frozen can just erase your evade. And as far as geisting a ryeser? Sure, that may work-- but the first time they land it will also be the last time you geist, unless they make a mistake. You can't geist while clumsy, after all.
