Explaining Potemkin's Kara Cancel technique! Supercharge all his moves!

[@rooflemonger]

So Potemkin and Kara cancels, its pretty important! Yeah there is the one mission mode that shows you the kara grab but it doesn't explain the hows/whys of it, and it certainly doesn't explain the true potential of everything and that is what this video is about! Once you learn this technique your Potemkin will be sliding across the screen in no time!

Here's some forbidden Potemkin tech. Naming yourself along the lines of "Don't Jump" allows you to roundstart Heatknuckle your opponent. After that it lets you roundstart kara Potbuster. Warning, this may cause a disconnect from your opponent if they play Chipp.

this technique is what helps give grapplers more depth than just 50/50s with the command grab mix, this game is so cool

You're pumping guide out after guide Roofle. You're a beast! The games been out for about a week, yet you've boiled down so many game mechanics that would normally take people months to put out. Make sure you're pacing yourself though.

[@davidnichol4735]

Wow for a good hour I thought i was misunderstanding you, so I kept rewatching the video. Then I quit crying and started grinding and it's actually not that bad. It just takes about a thousand reps to get it down.

[@HuhWhatHuhwhatHuh]

For anyone struggling on you can drum the buttons, middle finger kick, index punch, one after the other really fast.

More Pot tech is always good, one stepforward and one backwards jump forward. This makes up for not having a a dash,have the weekend off so now I have some tech to lab. Cheers for the hard work Rooflemonger.

Between this video and showing off the hammerfall rc into potemkin buster I'm sold on your channel. I only started trying to "git gud" at fighters recently and I'm so glad you explain things so even newer players can understand instead of the gatekeeping attitude I see everywhere else. More knowledge is better for everyone IMO

[@LDsprite]

Oh thank god, I was literally just now trying to figure how to close distance for the potbuster without using RCs or Hammer Fall Break, this technique is gonna be a lifesaver.

[@Death059]

I play Strive very casually; I only do private matches with my brother who is very into fighters and some friends who share the casual entry-level enthusiasm I have. Strive was the first fighting game I bought on release because I was so excited for it. I was looking at Potemkin fights during the beta and I was SO hyped for him. Big beef gorilla playstyle is ingrained, and I've got a few combos down on him, and my Anti-Air play is decent. But until this video, landing the Buster has always been an "if i can do it" initiative. I know it's supposed to be the big draw, the GAME PLAN for any Potemkin, but it was fun just slapping people with 2S 2HS beeg combo. But now I have new resolve. I know now that the busta is all we live for. I gotta get on my grind to BUST because it has been prophesized to me that in this world, you're the buster or the busted.

Me when the Potemkin I’m facing is fucking Kara cancelling every move to micro-optimise his distance gains

Dude each day im testing a different character and you make a video about that character? ... im not complaining

[@Gwegory22]

FOR ANYONE THAT FINdS THIS INPUT IMPOSSIBE: Literally thought this was impossible, but I found this technique has worked for me: ------- start by repeating the normal Buster Command but hit Kick/Punch at the same time. (the normal buster will come out) --------Keep repeating this motion a few times in a row to get the feel for it, hitting both buttons. --------Now after a few motions, change it to the normal input K>P. I found this actually helped me get this move off. Very difficult to do but practice makes perfect.

The way I lower my right thumb onto the buttons is like a slightly tilted board. The bend of my thumb presses kick, then the tip presses punch. Almost like I'm pressing them at the same time.

[@junhe7229]

I kept grabbing my friend when the round started with a kara buster. He had no idea how to avoid it.

[@dangtiendung4766]

You can input forward forward in purple rc so after megafist, C.S in to Garuda, you don’t have to kara cancel pot buster. Which is way easier, what i usually do is hold forward during megafist, hit confirm and just tap and hold forward again in purple rc.

[@rooflemonger]

No you def have to kara a bunch of times after gunshot in many scenarios for the grab to connect. The example in this video uses a forward moving drift purple RC and without the kara grab it would have whiffed.

The one thing I wished the tutorial mission would give is some indication if you got the motion right but the punch was too delayed.... found hard to tell what I was doing wrong (which I THINK is this).
