It was this version of Potemkin that awakened me as a grappler main in fighting games. This character made me realize the truth of fighting games when picking a main. You can pick who's top tier and rotate with updates, or you can pick who makes you happy and master them. I chose to be happy.

Get a feel for the playstyle or something like that. Also, golden censor sounds.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Lol thanks bud. To be fair I would totally learn plus r pot first because he's actually better in that game and a little easier with the fundamentals. For example you can hammer fall off of 2D and plus r but not in Xrd. But yeah dude do it!

Another reason why you should play Xrd Potemkin, provided by FAB - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqSYdpJ7f8utoq8 I would play Xrd if it had Rollback, the ICPM is way to fun. But until then I stick with Strive and ACR.

[@HollyBunnySilly]

@@LucidButtonMasher Don't get me wrong, strive is still a fun game, but you can definitely tell they thought the series was getting a bit too mechanically complex for the average player to just hop in and play. Now, whether or not they accomplished that is for people to discuss, (I personally think they *mostly* did a good job. *coughcough gatling changes*) but at the end of the day the game definitely is an easier starting point for new players.
