[@burnin8able]

tbh this combined with a basic combo guide on some of Pot's higher difficulty combos utilizing BKMF will get pretty much anyone into celestial. this stuff is truly masterclass

[@TheDepressedHollow]

What’s BKMF?

[@burnin8able]

@@TheDepressedHollow backwards kara mega fist. it's really difficult to pull off consistently on controller but it is a pretty big part of pot's higher damage combos and corner carry setups.

[@frostfire397]

This guide is nuts, I've spent like the past week just reading/watching potemkin stuff and this summarized like 90% of his offence in under 10 minutes. This bad boy's goin in the bookmarks

[@domt3274]

I managed to go 3-2 at Evo with Strive being my first real fighting game thanks to you and your amazing guides! I can’t thank you enough for teaching me the ways of the buster.

[@Frankentank]

That's what we love to see

[@VileLasagna]

Between this and Rooflemonger's combo guide (had just the right amount of baby stuff for me) my (perhaps inevitable from the start) transition from yoyos to bustin has been an absolute joy. If you ever feel like continuing the series, how about a "jailbreak guide" or something along those lines? It can be real hard to steal a turn back when you're on the receiving end of pressure as Pot. Ram, in particular is a challenge for me, super popular in Japan, where I play, and when they're not sleeping while they autopilot and actually DO manage their spacing and timings proper... it's rough

[@kerbonaut2059]

YES! I want a defensive guide as Pot so bad...

[@mtchillin4163]

I needed this, Thank you for helping your fellow pot mains o7

[@thatd00doverthere19]

Dear god I needed this, my pressure felt like it was starting to weaken since I usually relied on garuda and most times they would jump my second garuda, but thanks to this guide and others you have, I can FINALLY relive my pot pressure

[@Ashragi]

Something I think this guide doesn’t mention, you know how he says you can get a throw/buster in the corner for otg and a super meaty Garuda? It’s meaty enough that a second Garuda catches jump out attempts.

[@sirnarwhal9911]

@@Ashragi It may be shortened so KZbin can suggest this video to other Pot Players. The OTG Garuda Meaty can be backdashed on wake-up, but a kara Garuda can beat that. If they FD Garuda, the strike throw can be fuzzied.

[@kryptik2230]

today is the first day i learn potemkin, thank you so much

[@axelfuryofficial8459]

Awesome content, thank you form the bottom of my soul. I was grinding meat just with timing and basic hits, but your guide opened up a whole world of combos and now I stepped up my game in a huge way. Thanks bro.

[@F1nicky]

me: wow this guide is very helpful and informative! also me, the moment i pick pot online: *sol main monkey noises*

[@dbd978]

another wonderful video. thank you, honestly saves me a lot of practice watching these videos by learning these things.

[@Rebelmike305]

Extremely helpful thank you for the awesome video

[@MoluskToeCheese]

Mr. Tank, you sir are a tutorial GAWD I often play my matches without a game plan... and sometimes i 2 dum dum brayn to eeven figure out what my game plan is. I just pressing buttons duuuuuurp but this video is a light bulb moment

[@marx7437]

Absolute legend with these guides,thanks so much. This helps a ton to improve with pot and reach celestial

[@johnmichalowski6536]

absolutely phenomenal guide, a great mechanics light introduction to potemkin's offense

[@ducklenin8161]

How has nobody mentioned the choice in music? These tracks are serious bangers, and fit the video content very very well

[@Antaeus847]

I always feel like replaying Metal Slug instead of practicing after these videos. -_-;;

[@lynxishd9587]

excellent choice of music my massive handed brother, I've been playing pot all through in game experience and normally reach celestial, but now I can be even nastier. I'm coming for those ino mains lol

[@coolpilot7819]

I just got the game and I main Potemkin I’ll definitely need some practice to get this down but it’ll be worth it, oh and the meta slug music was a great touch for this kind of video

[@notexactlyrandom1070]

Great, and I thought I was scared of potemkin BEFORE

[@kriscotd76]

Theses are cool if you actual get to use them ..I’m waiting for the strategy guide to beating high level jacko and Bridget with pot ..Pot just sitting in the corner holding block out here smh ..

[@iancook2637]

Potemkin has truly mastered the art of Metal Slug Pressure. Gonna slam as hard as Metal Slug 3 Stage 4 OST. But fr though, Potemkin Forever.

[@dangodudeasaures]

Mfers be like "Potemkin is ez" and I can't even tell wtf is happening 90% of the time lol

[@swagit4174]

That's genius!! And also....THANK YOU! *SHOTGUN!!*

[@alphalee7148]

i started implementing kara garuda in my hard knocks and makes such good pressure. Mixing up what you do between garudas keeps them guessing has made potemkin such a strong character against every opponent. Now to find a defensive solution against GL in the corner...

[@Cleverman27]

I think this information is a little outdated now, but I will thank you because I want to be the best glue sniffer i can be!

[@rriscolso]

I came here to learn the match vs Pot, but maybe I will give him a try

[@CHUROx]

Thank you so much, from the bottom of this internet random's heart

[@nm285]

These are awesome, I wish there were other characters too

[@XenK64]

❤️👍🏾

[@prodigaIProdigy]

Excellent guide I just keep coming back to whenever I feel like I'm missing something in pressure! One question though I'm not sure you answer: what are the best option(s) after opponent blocks GI near the edge of its range? If you're not close enough to threaten kara-buster and you can't/don't want to spend meter, what can you do to take advantage? is it just a high/low mixup with 2D/6H or similar?

[@Frankentank]

If you're at tip range you can attempt to catch them with 2D or Kara Garuda, but tip range isn't a great spot for Pot

[@prodigaIProdigy]

Ah well, good to know I'm not leaving some big damage on the table. Thanks for the answer!

[@unfortunateinc.205]

I love learning potemkin tech, but my in-match play is so sloppy. I cant use karas really at all yet, and even charging hammerfall all the time feels foreign. Any advice for a player really struggling with the technical side of potemkin?

[@A2ZOMG]

Make sure you have a really comfortable control scheme just generally speaking. Also with anything technical you want to focus on small steps towards a goal. Maybe pick one tech to tunnel vision against a human opponent until you can do it without thinking hard.

[@buddysyst3m]

Think of everything with a 2 in it (2P,2K,2S, etc) as a 1. Charging hammerfall is crucial so working that charge into your other attacks as a habit will help greatly. Comfortable control scheme is also very important (as mentioned above). Hammerfall break should be easy to perform and intuitive for your hand. Kara specials can be tricky, so pick one or two and really work on getting the button timing down. The inputs for the rest can come after that. Breaking this all down into parts will make it easier. Once you can do them consistently alone, work them into some strings in training mode.

[@sekomanematjila1910]

at 4:40, can you try grab Sol's super on clash?

[@Order-Sol]

I even wonder if Potemkin can beat Ryn's Order-Sol mod in the future in GGST+ when she's done releasing him?

[@ThePochas0]

Music got kinda bad at the 4 minute mark

[@Official_Proxy]

Ever since they removed Pot's wake up on the shield it felt like I'm being bullied. Turns out that I was just playing the game wrong. Also I can't do BKMF for shit on keyboard so that's probably why my combos never reach anywhere near that damage. The extra bounce on BKMF is invaluable but I can never pull it off.

[@mayorpikachu92]

hey frank, i have a question. ik that hpb > prc can be used as a reversal, but will testing it out in training tool it always seems to counterhit if the opponent hits meaty. this doesnt seem to happen on regular hpb though. do you know why this is? am i doing something wrong or can i just got prc that in a meaty?

[@Frankentank]

HPB has invuln, however, you remove that invuln with PRC, so you're PRC'ing too early

[@mayorpikachu92]

@@Frankentank that would make sense, ill try it out next time. thanks for the tips i apprecoate it

[@michelebenedetti7507]

Imma be honest, on controller I cannot do a Kara Cancel to save my life, but, implementing those tips might offset that. Time to go and lab this directly in the tower

[@rc9145]

Anyone have any tips on how to kara cancel Garuda impact? I can easily do it with buster but i have trouble with Garuda

[@Frankentank]

Think of it like you're doing half of a kara buster

[@runemaster-]

Just wondering, how do you get this red color scheme? Mod? Because color 3 (red) has red helmet. Thanks!

[@Frankentank]

It is indeed a mod gamebanana.com/mods/316381

[@Vitaliusdfox]

How to deal with fuzzy jumps?

[@Frankentank]

Delay a gatling to catch jump startup or Heat It's rough, but you can beat it

[@CaioCesar-xm5zg]

Why thi metal slug soundtrack combined só mulheres whit the video

[@brandonbrown83]

3:56-4:13 Wouldn’t they be able to burst out (as soon as invul ends)to avoid the throw? How would pot outplay that? If they used it already, then they would definitely be screwed…

[@nathandam6415]

You could just block ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If they have a habit of bursting after guard crush just bait them.

[@thatgoodstuff1986]

If you've used it once before you could probably try to bait it out the next time, if they burst then great but if they dont at worst you'll reset to neutral at best you could continue the pressure (I am not great at pot but I think this is how it would play out)

[@CombustibleLemonsInc]

I noticed you didn't mention MF in the blockstring ender section. Do you think it's not that great of an ender? I've found that unless they have access to a reversal, it typically is safe due to the spacing after the blockstring, and it also threatens the RC j.p mix.

[@Frankentank]

The fact that it's unsafe on block and negative on hit means it's a pretty terrible ender. Your reward for hitting it is almost as bad as your reward for getting it blocked.

[@VileLasagna]

@@Frankentank Can confirm I get punished for hitting Megafisto WAY too often T_T

is there a class to learn all these terms? Im lost as heck

what does hkd stand for

Hard Knockdown. Basically when they can't roll and are stuck laying down on the ground for a bit.
