I guess that most Pots jump a lot because of lack of dashes and being slow af (like Nago, but Nago has de teleport special). When you get better to him you relay less and less on jumping, and using things like hammerfall better for movement and other stuff PD: About other doubts you had: - Garuda impact (the move you said if it was unblockable), it isn't unblockable but it guard breaks, putting Pot in advantaje, if it hits it can also combo into Buster (it doesn't on block, but it can be used as a set up), so yeah, it's quite good. -Megafist isn't an air move, it just puts you in the air from the ground, it's very hard to anti-air because of the hitbox, but foward Megafist if punishable if it isn't spaced correctly, so is better to block and punish it than trying to anti-air it. And be careful with back Megafist, as that versión is plus on block.
@@LotusAsakura no problem, if there's more doubts about his moves and stuff I will try to answer what I know. I main him but I'm not good enough for the more high level stuff
Don't forget that Hammerfall is -8 on block. so you can block it and then grab as a counter. People do this on me so I tend to brake more often to try and catch them tunneling into grabbing it. Or my personal favorite, Fall PRC buster.
I was also going to post about jumping. I'm currently in deep with Nagoriyuki and, even though he has godlike dashes, I find myself compensating for blood gauge abuse with tons of jumps (usually failed super jumps).
Favorite UA-camr on my favorite fighting game. Doesn’t get any better than this. “That’s the juice that’s the juice we looking like a ram player on the low low” #ThrowTheGrappler 😂
Yo the fact that you care enough to make sure people don't have to change audio on the speaker or device is super convenient. Too many times have I clicked a video so quiet I turn everything up, click another and my ears bleed
So lotus to give some advice in the pot matchup. Hammer fall is charge move is unsafe on block. So if you block you can punish I recommend using your fasting buttons if possible make it your kick so you can sweep and make a hard knockdown. If the pot knows you are punishing it. They will try to cancel earlier to bait your punish however this is also really unsafe and you can actually get a good starter with it. In ram case if you block go for a quick jab or kick. If they cancel earlier go crazy with the swords. Also be careful when you get counter hit most people reaction is to just hold block. So some pots will go for the grab. Hope this helps ya. Ps when I say cancel I don’t mean rc. Pot can end the animation earlier.
Potemkin's flame thrower move (Garuda impact) is blockable. On hit, it causes enough hitstun for him to combo into Pot buster. On block, it has the "guard crush" property (as does Sol's fafnir and a few other moves in the game). Blocking a guard crush move causes a stagger animation where you can still block (even though it doesn't look like a block animation) but you can't YRC. It also leaves the other player very plus. Also, if you get hit in the stagger animation (like if you mash or just stop blocking), it causes the guilty gear version of a blue combo. The damage of the combo will be scaled based on the guard crush move that you blocked, not whatever hit they landed to start the combo. So the combo will probably end up causing more damage than normal.
Make it do what it do. Cuz it be like that when it be like that. Thanks 🙏🏾 for all the great content. From Maine to Spain. Peace ✌🏾 be with my brother.
Definitely gotta find some color mods for strive, these ram colors are CLEEEEEAN Edit: at 5:55 that mega fist into pot buster isn’t a combo, it’s a really fast reset if I’m not mistaken. I’ve seen it happen when I follow up with ky’s flip kick really fast after a combo finishes, and if it hits it just tacks on the red damage to previous damage that’s also draining. So it definitely LOOKS like a combo at a glance, but you can see some red health start draining before the pot buster hits and stops the draining, and THEN adding more damage (hope that made sense, and honestly you probably already saw that while you edited this, just figured I’d let anyone who sees this comment know 😅)
Just a reminder to grappler players and everyone else command grabs aren’t just for offense there great defensive tools as well you pretty much apply it the same way you would a dp by finding the gaps in a opponent’s offense and grabbing them Pretty much the only terrifying player to a grappler is someone who either likes playing neutral (cause it’s hard for them to win neutral) or anyone who plays a zone but yay if your grappler start grabbing people out of there pressure and if your having a tough time fighting grapplers stay back and just play neutral there’s really not much they can do when your spacing them out
I’m only here to support some more Strive content in all honesty. I stopped playing fighterZ once ranking up became too easy. Anyway, I hope you keep it up and ultimately just do what you love best.
Garuda Impact and Slide Head (the exploding fist and the faceplant) are guard breaks. GI to all guards, and SH when you block low. If you don't block it low, you'll get knocked down. That shit is my bane and I hate it 😩
I agree, Potemkin is a force on strive, the damage is so high and grapplers usually get high payout in fighting games because they have “bad neutral play” and this game’s damage is ridiculous, but yea Potemkin is OD definitely a sleeper hit top tier imo #ThrowTheGrappler
My guess would be Pot players jump forward for the sake of forward movement that they can cover with big ass normals while also giving a big buffer window for Buster which I think is a 360 motion? Just a guess on my part
Pot actually has a solid ground game. Megafist can be kara canceled as well as his pot buster to give them more range. Pretty sure the only move that combos into buster is his flamethrower though
Lotus, I don't know if someone has mentioned it already or saw JMcrofts's vid, but command grabs apparently beat normal grabs. Sooooooo, yeah. (Just as advice by the way!)
Me and me homie ran over 30 sets yesterday of this exact Mashup, and I was telling him how much I hate fighting pot as ram. Glad to see I'm not the only one 🤣
Also you should add (can't remember if it's 214P or 236P but it can be dash canceled and can be used to take your turn back when they give you too much respect on block
Lotus my man. Potemkin's Gunshot is a guard break. If you get hit he can P.Buster you for free (Depending on distance). I highly suggest looking up Rooflemonger for more information. He puts out some pretty good Tips and Tricks Guides, and he started Strive off With Potemkin. I know you don't intend on playing the character, but he can help you pass those Knowledge checks.
It’s probably just me but that Ram color looks so all over the place and ugly. Also I like Potemkin more than Ram. The man has a genetic mutation and was a slave until the future president of the country helped him out. That same President apparently taught him the Pot buster which even Slayer recognizes. Loyal dude and his design is more interesting than just another anime girl.
I can say, "Ram is a construct of a pseudo god created with a purpose destroy humanity, but the interaction with humans skewed her belief in that very purpose, making her go against her Destiny and help save the world. And she also has a mouth flesh coat which is pretty sick And Pot is just a buff guy" But do any of these statements take away from the fact that these 2 character are badasses in Thier own right, no I like Pot and Ram. She's not just an anime girl just as much as Potemkin isnt just a buff guy (if anyone cared to learn Thier stories), let's be nice😃
@@ozi-g-be Yeah that makes sense. But I find Ram far less fun personally. Her character in game feels like it has little to no personality or anything special about it. She feels like just another anime girl.
@@MagmaSpacer it's unfortunate but the no personality thing is part of her lore so on the surface it does just look like another anime girl. Nobody can force anyone to like something they don't vibe with, I'm just saying why I do
many times in the first set you threw potemkin and roman cancelled to do a combo and he bursted which is super unsafe. try to bait it by blocking after you roman cancel in situations like this and you get counter hit punish if they burst
Every character have a weakness the problem is that if your are good enough to exploit it the most possible...without excluding to thousands of rock, paper and scizzor a fighting game have.
I heard you mention it a few times that you should anti-air is megafist. Actually, i dont think mega fist can be anti-aired. You got counter-hit a few times trying to aa mega fist. Also, it looks like they jumping a lot becausd mega fist has a jumping animation to it
If you're wondering why you have thrown so many people on wake-up, that's because you're throw invincible when you get up. I see a lot of people trying to throw people in that state and obviously failing, i don't know if it is because they don't know or just because it's kinda counterintuitive, even though it makes sense for balance purposes.
Man sounds like he's genuinely having fun, that's the power of good netcode and a top tier.

Duality of man
It's the same for jiren in dbfz it's so funny how often they have opposing views
Mans is really about to start a whole ass movement within the FGC. And I’m here for it lmfaooooo #ThrowTheGrappler
As a Potemkin player, please do come as close to us as possible.
Real “Ur approaching me?” Energy
In the immortal words of Lythero “BIGGER GRAB!”
Yo lotus that color on ram is pretty dope
You are merely rejecting the grappler in your own heart
here in the guilty gear community, potemkin doesn’t throw us, we throw potemkin #ThrowTheGrappler
“We throw the grapplers” best advice against Potemkin
Favorite UA-camr on my favorite fighting game. Doesn’t get any better than this. “That’s the juice that’s the juice we looking like a ram player on the low low” #ThrowTheGrappler 😂
#ThrowTheGrapplers
And I love the variety and seeing you have a great time playing the game
These strive videos have been sick. Good to see the Ram improving ! I'm so jealous of all these dope mods for the colours.
"I will not let these Potemkin players bully me any logner"
- Lotus 2021
Really like how characters get yeeted when they die on wall break
“I didn’t wanna do it…I didn’t wanna doooo iiittt” 😂 Lotus was turnt
noooo hes saying this playing rammmmmmmmmm
Right like one of them is way easier and stronger than the other. Lol
I love watching the slow improvements you're making. Keep it up! And stay hydrated
Hell yeah, more strive!! Love seeing you explore the game more

Thanks for another amazingly great video man
When the lunge forward launches an opponent into the air you get 5k into rekka *or* 5k into 6H into sword throw near the corner
You getting better video after video🔥

8:45 this man could have potbusted of that .. ohh im stealing that

I don't play potekim but I love him seeing him just grab someone and take half their health bar doesn't get old

I'm just waiting for a toxic guilty gear video because toxic lotus is a very funny lotus
lemme leave this here cuz i feel your pain lotus

The fire move just causes guard break on block which is just super plus and does a good bit of chip and on hit it staggers you so he can pot buster

Lotus should play some Giovanna if for nothing else, just cause shes voiced by the VA of Haruko from FLCL
Lotus hates Potempkin now he understands the meaning of WAR

Lotus seems like he was having so much fun this vid. It gave me Doto vibes for some reason.
Lotus once said…WE THROW THE GRAPPLERS
Gg lotus good Valentine man
Fun fact: command grabs have regular throw invincibility, so throwing the grappler might completely backfire
Pot actually has a solid ground game. Megafist can be kara canceled as well as his pot buster to give them more range. Pretty sure the only move that combos into buster is his flamethrower though
Hey lotus what is the alt color your wearing? I’ve never seen it before.
its a moded color
@@Xenozoic Ah I see
trunks ram skin pls
Mannnn your Ram starting to look nice bro
As a future potemkin main once i can finally get GGS. Please ladies and gents...
Dont throw the grappler lol
Lotus, I don't know if someone has mentioned it already or saw JMcrofts's vid, but command grabs apparently beat normal grabs. Sooooooo, yeah.

Yeah! Look at me.... Im the grappler now
i fuckin love that ram color
Oh hell yea!

here's a friendly tip as a Potemkin main versus Potemkins that jumps this much, air throw is the best antiair you can do :)
Les gooo #throwthegrappler
Currently on floor 8/9 maining potemkin. Can confirm throwing is how you deal with me.
Lotus we just want a hug

If you resort to throwing the Grapplers you are only playing into their hands! We love it when people play OUR game!

So now we just need a secret to beat Z bully.
B play gt Goku and see how hard it would is for brolys normals to activate ally hit tou
Keep up the strive content please
Throws used to be 1 frame and proximity based with 6/4H
Use Mortobato more. It literally explodes people and its frame 1 invul so its perfect on knockdown or against dolphin spamming May players
Just Jump(Unless he has half tension)

....that sounds so dumb outta context

Don’t mind me just your average Giovannia player tryna figure out how to take down Potemkin
Dont do that with my boy Pot 😭😭😭
You think Sol is gross? Be glad Zappa isn't in this game.
Fuck fullscreen overheads
Normal Mega fist is punishable unless they space it perfectly. Backwards MF is plus. Also don’t try to 6P either of them, it’s pretty hard.
Mega Fist is very minus. Just mash when a potemkin does mega fist
Yo that ramlethal skin is nice
Hey lotus! after you throw RC you should block if you know they're gonna burst
Thanks for the tip!
Potemkin is UI Goku in a mech suit
Someone gotta start the #BeatTheBadGuys
