My sincere thanks to you tank, this shall aid us greatly in showing the world the power of pot

[@ADxTygon]

yooo that la mulana ost is nice tho i was trying so hard to remember where it was from, but as soon as i heard it it filled me with dread and fear for some primal reason, and now i remember why

[@afrochocobo]

La-mulana go extra hard with these potbusters

[@tmp-3mtempest79]

I haven't even started watching beyond the first few seconds, but the moment I heard the La-Mulana music I knew it was very, very likely that someone with good taste and a keen mind is making this video!

[@superawesomesauce7859]

Glad to have the tank on these pot combos, God bless.

[@liirects]

very much appreciated, now my mashing will look intentional :)

[@theoneknownasbam]

this is so dope! i never thought this character could have so many sick combo routes! thank you mr. tank, i can't wait to terrorize my friends with these!!!

[@Rayce_Istanus]

My favourite corner comob is: Potbuster > RC > 2HS > HeavenlyPotbuster. 2 command grabs in one combo make me happy

[@mercuryon8608]

The music you used just made everything better

This makes me wanna play potemkin AND replay La Mulana

great video, btw 5Px2 into 623H is good for anti-air

Can't wait to do this online. You are a beast my dude. Thanks!

[@Archalieus]

Think it's noteworthy to mention that you can actually combo out of Slide Head meterless, with 2D. Rather, as long as you're in 2D range, you can combo out of Slide Head. You send the opponent pretty far away by doing so, but this can help close out matches, push the opponent into the corner, and most importantly, rack up that mental damage from getting hit by a fullscreen low! There's some other applications for Slide Head in combos as well, but I haven't fully tested them: that being if you combo into Slide Head, you usually seem to get the full hard knockdown, which can allow you to close the gap with a HFB, effectively trading damage for slightly better oki.

[@ImRoosevelt]

Great video for a Starter like me...now if only I can get those Hammer Fall's coming. Im too stupid to make them work on my controller Q_Q

[@rixaxeno7167]

it's a charge move, hold backward immediately after the previous move comes out. Hold back for a little while, then forward and button. As someone new to charge moves I am struggling to do it consistently too, so don't feel too bad about it when it isnt cooperating

[@chucheeness7817]

something I found very useful when I was first learning charge moves is to hold 1 (down+back) so that it wouldn't be very obvious and at the same time it keeps you in place and makes a defensive stance (blocks low). also when chaining moves such as 6H into charge, the moment you press 6H immediately hold back, and then input forward +H just before or just as the 6H animation ends. just get a feel of it and eventually it will be muscle memory

[@vostok2717]

Nice job man

[@Reaper-kf4yb]

0:25 why not MegaFist after 2D it will hit and you can still do Garuda or FDB afterwards distance is bigger damage is guranteed and you still can PB after a block/hit Garuda since it has only advantages it would be more practical and there the other on obsolet.. right?

[@Frankentank]

Hitting them there will result in the opponent being able to tech and you'll lose a TON of advantage. The garuda won't be guaranteed.

[@Reaper-kf4yb]

@@Frankentank Mhm does this woks to all floor bounce? Either get a little bit more damage or advantage?

Kara pot buster requires its own video, it's not something I can just explain in a combo vid. Besides, there's a ton of videos on kara pot buster already.

And PPP into Forward RC is a go to combo starter off of Pressure. as a Pot main Get used to starting with the PPP 2PPP or Close Slash when are pressuring you and you properly Block or read a slow move. if you don't get use to making them Respect your PPP they will run all over you and never respect your tools

[@mfgouki4402]

How do you keep charge for hammer fall while doing the 6HS?

[@Frankentank]

Basically you input the 6H while the c.S is coming out and then immediately start holding back to charge the hammer fall. It's a bit tricky at first, but you'll get it with practice.

[@mfgouki4402]

@@Frankentank thanks

[@younghandshake]

A lot of those combos can’t wallsplat on round start because you start the round with no meter.

[@Frankentank]

Oh no I'm not implying you can get those from the beginning of a round, I'm just saying you can get the wall break from a round start position.

[@nibla02gamer84]

As a new player why do you have numbers ? The combo at 0:53 is just the same button 2 times depending if you are close or not. What it 5h ? 6k hammerfall ????

[@Frankentank]

glossary.infil.net/?t=Numpad%20Notation Basically the numbers correspond to the position of your stick relative to a number pad. 5 is neutral, 6 is forward, etc.

Hey, you combo 2k>6k>hammerfall at 1 minute, and I can't seem to get that to work, but I can get 6k>hammerfall, and the notation just says 6k>hammerfall. Is the 2k impossible in this version of the game, or am I just doing it wrong? If I am just doing it wrong, any tips?

[@Frankentank]

The 2K isn't actually comboing. I'm doing it so that I can buffer the 6K and have an easier time charging.

[@PriM3QuEsTiOn]

Yo i love the video but white text on a white map was unwise

[@lessonman_3961]

I haven't tried yet, but is it possible to extend wall splat combos by not breaking the wall and allowing them to escape then air grabbing?

[@Frankentank]

Generally no, as they can just tech forward and soar out of the corner.

any tips for kara grabing its hard

[@Frankentank]

Two tips that helped me out a lot 1. Make sure you hold 6 while pressing the buttons. If you're like me and go back to neutral, that'll cause that kara to mess up. 2. Tap the buttons in a sort of ta-tap rhythm. Make sure you aren't tapping too fast or the 6K won't come out.

[@Nickyhelliot]

[@robby6382]

What is a kara

[@stealthcaveman9586]

In the context of strive it refers to cancelling your 6k directly into a special move move to retain the starting momentum of the 6k while doing the special move. The way you do it is by doing the special input, then 6k, then the button to activate the special. (ie kara garuda would be half circle back, 6k, hs.) It's most commonly used in order to increase the range of pot buster (kara buster can be done at round start) but can be used on any of his specials (including making back megafist go forwards)

[@espurrseyes42]

glossary.infil.net/?t=Kara%20Cancel glossary.infil.net/?t=Kara%20Throw Long story short, you use a move, then do another move during the startup of first move. This is usually done by starting with a move that has your character inching forward during the startup, effectively giving the follow up you cancel into a bit more range. In the case of Potemkin here, you do the input for his command grab, 632146 (Half-Circle Back, then press Forward), press Kick/K while still holding forward to trigger 6K, then press Punch/P during the startup of K to complete the command grab input. 6K will move Potemkin forward slightly, giving the following Kara Cancelled command grab more range.

[@ayasolaris4971]

I dont know whats a kara xD thanks tho i'll try some of theese

[@yeyo1019]

I don't know why people are calling it Kara now, it's a Roman Cancel dammit, yes it's the same thing but that's Guilty Gear version of the term (if you don't know actually what it is I'll leave you the description "Roman Cancel, shortened to RC, is a mechanic in the Guilty Gear series that allows a player to cancel the ending lag of their attack in order to extend combos, to apply pressure, or to make certain moves safe. They are signalled by a circle flash that comes for a split-second.)

[@espurrseyes42]

@@yeyo1019 Not what a Kara is. glossary.infil.net/?t=Kara%20Cancel glossary.infil.net/?t=Kara%20Throw A Kara is cancelling a move's startup into another move as shown at 1:11 where Potemkin uses Garuda, then does 6K and cancels the startup with Potemkin Buster, allowing him to move slightly forward and land the grab where doing just the grab wouldn't reach. Specifically, he's doing the Potemkin Buster input, 632146 (Half-Circle Back, then press Forward), then pressing K while still holding forward to startup 6K (during which Potemkin moves forward slightly), and hitting P (while still holding forward) during that startup of 6K to finish the Potemkin Buster input, cancelling 6K into command grab and giving said command grab a bit more range.

[@yeyo1019]

@@espurrseyes42 huh, shouldn't it be just a regular old special move cancel? It's until very recently that I started to see the term kara being thrown around, may have saw it be used in street fighter 5 (a game I don't play) and not much else

[@espurrseyes42]

@@yeyo1019 A regular cancel requires the first move to hit. Kara cancelled moves don't require the first one to hit. Did you play SF4 or 3rd Strike? Because those hand Karas. 3S in particular had Chun Li and her Kara Throws, which are mentioned in one of the Glossary entries I posted, and 4 had Kara Raging Demons.
