Tien doesn't usually start with the Solar Flare, and he needs to catch King Cold off guard to do it. Besides, getting into a position where he could do this would be problematic as even a single hit from King Cold will kill him, meaning it'd be pretty difficult for him to it and to land the Kikoho
He would here, he can sense power levels it's not like he's going to attempt the dodon ray or something he can sense will be useless.
Krillin managed it against dodoria and Frieza.
Neither Dodoria or Frieza were focusing on Krillin when that happened, and even if it did, Frieza managed to dodge Krillin's attack after the Solar Flare so there's no reason King Cold wouldn't be able to dodge too, especially since Tien needs to set up longer for the Shin Kikoho. Again, the only reason Tien got the Kikoho on Cell was because Cell was focused on Android 18
Yes they were, they were solely focused on Krillin in those moments.
Cell was focused on 18 but once Tien started charging up the Kikoho Cell sensed him but before he could do anything he was hit with it. It doesn't seem to have the long start up time that you're claiming.
You didn't debunk anything. Cell was literally busy with 18 before he noticed Tien was about to fire the attack. The fact that you two love to twist the narrative in your own favor doesn't change that
If he doesn't he dies wtf, that's his reason. It's his only chance of winning and honestly is the only thing he ever does.
He only really did it to delay Cell from absorbing 18. Mind you that everyone thought the Androids were going to kill everyone once they're done with Vegeta, and Tien still rushed in without even attempting to use Kikoho, even when he thought he'd die otherwise. While they were spared by them, Tien still thought the Androids will kill them like they did in the future and chose to fight anyways without attempting to use the Kikoho (and I remind you, even before they attacked, 17 was right there and was not focused on them since he watched the battle)
He can't sense Android ki and he was in a group fight with others. He's in a 1v1 here and can sense king cold's ki and will instantly realise he will die if he doesn't use the Kikoho.
According to you, Tien would've used it if he'd think that this is his only chance to win, and while yes he can't sense their ki, he can try to judge their power based on how Vegeta (who he can sense) did against them. And at first Vegeta did pretty well against 18, so much so Trunks thought they're evenly matched at first, with Piccolo saying he'd lose because he gets weaker, while she doesn't.
Tien knows that all of the Androids are stronger than Frieza and Cold and therefore would also die if he wouldn't use it, yet he still chooses not to use it. And against Cell, he literally fired it knowing it'd do nothing, and that he'll die because of it
Has this ever been shown to happen?
The light of Solar Flare being reflected? No. But if it is real light then reflection should work.
Has the head been shown to reflect light at that capacity?
Can you be more specific?
