[GGST] Horrible Potemkin Combos WITHOUT KARAS for season 4

[@WantedFranky]

i haven't been able to play all day since the patch was out but. I'll be streaming it at 20:00 EEST though! i did get some goofy combos out for shits and giggles, will be uploading the new stuff tomorrow! new pot is fun

[@thesolargamer9751]

new pot is a riot shame karas had to go to do it but pot still feels like pot to me armor busting a ky off round start now is so therapeutic

[@chaselowell4567]

Removes Potemkin’s highest skill option Gives buster armor so he’ll be more frustrating at lower levels Refuses too elaborate

[@Sir_Bucket]

I'm glad the gamer tradition of confusingly screaming at everything new is still there

[@flowerboy9611]

The Kara cancel being his highest skill option is wild since it's one of the easier Karas in 2D fighters

[@WantedFranky]

this is true

[@kingcolddy5863]

Yeah I heard they were removing them so I tried all the Kara’s last night the only one that gave me issues believe it or not was Kara AA grab(sorry I can’t remember the name rn)

[@HellecticMojo]

it's only on active frames. Pot still needs to time it properly to land it. I've had the armor happen like twice at most in the two dozen matches I've played so far. Also you can't infinitely 6k into garuda fake pressure anymore against floor 5s due to the slide not stopping at disjoint distance, so it's not even frustrating to the casuals.

Thanks frank been looking for combos that work after this wack ass patch

[@WantedFranky]

i wouldn't really call these....good combos, theyre mostly just memes imma do to people. Ya know i'm not an optimal lad

[@Neko16gram]

Been cooking up 6H loops to replace kbmf, the corner bounce is definitely something to experiment with

[@RavenGuiltyGear]

Well... c.S>2H>Garuda>2S still working, so Pot is still playable just not saucy what is the inly minus

[@malrulk3736]

Every combo here just felt like it was missing something

[@WantedFranky]

wdym the 5 damage pot buster is right there

[@malrulk3736]

@WantedFranky didn't see that heavenly damage

[@maxy.crimson]

00:51 a perfect sound effect for a wacky ass combo 😭

[@Twright4]

Hpb is now pb input its gonna throw me off so hard

[@WantedFranky]

it is weird don't get me wrong! but a friend of mine explained to me that it could be good where you can buffer the input, and if they jump or dash in can choose armor pot buster or hpb on reaction

[@Twright4]

​@@WantedFrankyyou are right this might be a blessing in disguise

oh oh ok interesting,,,, WAIT IS THAT CLAIREN FROM RIVALS 2?!?

[@freshbroceries4601]

the 5 damage Pot buster at 1:31 made me very nauseous. Don't do that again.

[@WantedFranky]

if they hadn't buffed HPB last patch, it would have done like 15 damage as well

[@uhohspaghettios821]

Funnily enough the basic dustloop corner combo and it's paramutations are still efficient and functional. cs>2h>megafist>5k>6h>hammerfall>wallstick>literally anything is great just for its simplicity, you can start it somewhat far from the corner and it still works completely so long as the megafist takes u to the corner. Though this IS outdated thinking, because 6h wallbounces now, giving much greater opportunities beyond wallstick. For instance HPB IS NOW POSSABLE FROM IT!(sometimes) So is every special except garudal, I believe. Flick wallsticks well, but is hard to charge so maybe it isnt good. HT hits at the longest possable ranges, has more damage than hf and wallsticks. Doing it into heat knuckle has the most damage at 281. You can also link 2k if you are too a little too far from the corner, since its faster and longer than 5k. However it's much less eficient, giving only 2d, 5d, uncharged flick, and HT. In the event you were far from the corner 5d is probably the only wallsplat, likely making it the best of all them (meterless). Giganter is not possible from either dust sadly, but u could probably extend with red rc? anyway 5d>ws>6h>wallbreak gives 233 total. Cs is also a possability as a megafist link, but i haven't explored that one. It might be worth looking into since it seems even easier than 2k to link, but I'm not too sure of it's efficiency. It's only usefull at the same range as 5k is so it might only be good as an easier option to kill a weakened opponent. Edit again: you can fucking 6k out of 5k and have it juggle now, do with that what you will. I wonder if thats better.

[@uhohspaghettios821]

ok finally got it to work, cs>2h>megafist>5k>6h>HT> HPB does 309 DMG. Nice!

[@jaywalmoose9623]

I love watching people say how something feels missing from the combos, in the video titled "Horrible Potemkin Combos" Don't get me wrong, your point is valid. But it stops being valid if this video is your source

[@ladygeneveve3805]

Damn, catching myself thinking about how a combo can lead into a kara garuda setup only to realize...

[@wrydfell3932]

0:49 imagine we still had kheat knuckle :(

[@WantedFranky]

i couldve positioned myself better with HFB but im baaaad

[@nebelstift]

We Gluesniffers will always remember Karas "insert potemkin taunt"

[@WantedFranky]

i enjoy him honestly, new stuff is always nice but i've gone through mains reworked before in other games too...

[@vish_ig]

With the death of this character, the thread of your destiny breaks. Swap to other charachter to restore the course of fate, or live on in the cursed world that arcsys created.

[@maxkaminker505]

I’m actually really enjoying it so far. But one thing is missing. My funny round start Kara busters. It’s just not the same without them

[@WantedFranky]

slidehead roundstart is really funny (you will perish)

[@Worstfreelancer]

I think what hurts the most for me is I've been playing for almost a year, and i was JUST starting to get more consistent with my karas. Easiest one for me was was K.Potbuster, it's the others i was still getting used to, and your vids were great inspiration. Now i just feel like all that time was wasted because i have to relearn everything.

[@WantedFranky]

one might think the time was wasted, but you used the talent at the time and got the memories, time to make some new ones!

[@Koofoo78]

I JUST started playing potemkin, they cant keep getting away with this

[@WantedFranky]

he still has some sauce to be discovered, other pots are already cooking

[@ketchup5726]

the literally me stando at the end obliterated me, I mustve watched that on loop at least 80 times back in the day

[@ihtscarter568]

[@pikachuattack542]

Why is Ky looking like Clairen? Also, Sesbian Lex.

[@WantedFranky]

wdym this is how ky always looked like

[@BlindedMan]

Im trying to stay hopeful I really am but the thought of always needing to have a bar for BWA for maybe most of his optimals here on out is looking grim

[@sya_elexeor1058]

It's still in labbin phase n all, but there's been plenty of optimal combos without necesserily using BWA

[@DepressedMicaiahASMR]

Whats BWA? Havent played since baiken came out and been looking to get back.

[@Jonathankiller100]

⁠@@DepressedMicaiahASMRWild assault is a new mechanic introduced in season 3 where you can spend half of your burst bar to perform a forward advancing attack that can have different properties based on its colour. BWA is short for blue wild assault in this case, with the other two colours being orange (or red?) and white. Correct me if I’m wrong on anything.

[@soraneptune4178]

personally I think I like the change to blue wild assault. Trading the invincible get in tool for sticker get ins

[@maveh641]

Talking on a casual level: i understand that after years of training and perfecting a technic just to get it taken away sucks ass. But after seeing the the changes to 6k keeping momentum and no pushback on Garuda in action i grinned like a Cat shitting besides the toilet. Again, i feel the time lost my brothers, BUT If Potemkin was JUST about Karas for you i dunno man. People will find new funny shit they relate to glue eating, paint drinking, crayon munching goofball. Just give it a bit of time (Screw the input changes tho)

[@WantedFranky]

i completely agree with this statement, i never liked karas to begin with, i learned them and i never enjoyed it but i had to if i didn't wanna get stomped. now that theyre gonna, they can stay dead

[@HoshiNoKaabii]

First of all, it isn't the same anymore. Second of all, I was not expecting Clairen at 0:45.

[@WantedFranky]

we have to adapt to change...

[@HoshiNoKaabii]

@WantedFranky sadly yes. No more 63216K~P...

[@Thecheesedevourer]

Look how they massage my boy…

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

I'm not gonna lie, after playing for a bit myself, I honestly think the new patch is fine. No more kara is a bit sad, but he still does funny things. And more importantly, chipp dies in two busters.

[@WantedFranky]

THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING, its sad we lost the stuf BUT new stuff is also cool!

[@blurpleshark]

@@WantedFranky i couldn't really kara well but on no how terrible that the grappler character has more routes for using his command grab, i felt like i mainly played potemkin as a zoner with his neutrals unless i had resources to burn to attempt a grab

[@Darenca]

Chipp main but I had to try out pot after the update Really unfortunate for Kara cancels, but goddamn the corner carry from the longer hammerfall is crazy, did counter hit 6.h > hammerfall > break > 5.k > 6.h > FMF > c.s > 6h for about 280 damage (no idea if it's optimal or if it was already doable pre-patch) BWA is also a cool change, Potemkin airlines is actually real Just unfortunate what you guys had to sacrifice for this

[@WantedFranky]

i dont mind the changes as much as others, hes still fun, big damage and can do goofy stuff. in soul is the same, people that say karas are his soul are elitist

potbro above isn't wrong but for the particular clip you timestamped the reason is because of wild assault damage scaling
