Personal favorite kara application: Kara Heat Knuckle on round start against a chicken block, into Kara Pot Buster right as they hit the ground. Feels like I'm slapping them in the face with "yeah, I've got the reads AND the execution."

I really like the idea of kara cancelling with Potemkin. It's a cool technique! But, also feel like it's a very weird way they've patched up holes in his gameplay. It makes doing optimal things with him a lot more challenging than it'd be with other characters. Of course, practice makes perfect and the karas eventually become second nature, but it does add a level of execution to Potemkin that sort of makes me less motivated to play him.
@NAM_1372 жыл бұрын
On the other hand, when you get an opponent that thinks they can just FD their way out of Garuda after Garuda, you get to flex your execution with kara Garuda pressure while they throw away all their meter.
@jiaan1002 жыл бұрын
I don't know if it's that much more challenging than other characters. Pot's pretty straightforward other than Kara cancels, it would be silly to say he's hard like zato. I think it's cool that they add a (relatively) high execution option for his moves that is totally optional for 90% of players. Remember it's not like you have to or even should kara every time.
@Kaizanor2 жыл бұрын
The only one I would say you really should learn is Kara potbuster but that ones also the easiest to do since potbuster naturally ends in a forward input so you only have to practice plinking P and K. Kara garuda of course is great too but I've manage to clap people up until celestial without it, just play around the push back, however none of these help where Pot really struggles... Defense.

Good video, and there is actually only 1 redeeming factor about Kara Giganter. On some KBMF combos, if you want that extra bit of damage on the wallbreak or get a hard knockdown wallbreaking, you have to kara Giganter to do it because raw giganter gets the less damaging projectile instead of the aura explosion hitbox

@SSM24_ Жыл бұрын
I don't really agree that kara Giganter is completely worthless. Even if it costs meter, a move that leaves you +100 on block is nothing to scoff at, and the kara can be useful for forcing them to block it instead of being able to escape. It's definitely not, like, your _best_ use of meter, and the fact that it's so easy to get it trying to do kGaruda definitely hurts. But I'd probably put it more like C or D rather than F.
