I think without the context of the game, AC/AC+R Buster is the stronger move (that shit grabs at like halfscreen), but within the context of the games they exist in, Strive's buster might actually be better
Season 4 has not only gotten me back in the game, but also gave me the chance to try out Potemkin. It's probably the most fun I've had in a fighting game! Every successful Potemkin Buster feels like a shot of (drug)
To me it's been extra ridiculous thanks to new HFB People say roundstart buster is gone but I beg to differ, with a speckle of mental stack you just HFB on someone's face and they'll just take the throw! Not to mention the infinitely niche (but infinitely cool) Potemkin Parry with HFB
I don't care how much people say that it's unbalanced As much as it sucks getting Pot busted as a Chipp main, a 7 second PO vs CH/MI match will never not be funny
Pot buster in corner --> 6k --> pot buster can only be beat by psyche burst and frame 9 multihits. Against DP you just armor through and can pot buster when they land right in front of you.
Aa someone who hadn't mastered the kara cancel Pot Buster, the armor made me go from playing Potemkin like a bruiser with a good throw to playing as a proper grappler
you could honestly write a thesis on the entirety of the Pot changes, and how each of them are things he really really wanted/needed, but all of them together creates a perfect storm of robbery that prooooobably is a bit much. That being said, dont. Thanks Daisuke. 👍
Buffing potemkin buster and HFB was the best thjing they could've done to pot, we still miss karas but we have more options to play with pot and still do the same amount of insane damage
@Frankentank it's memed in some circles that previous versions of potemkin in strive were closer to traditional strike/ throw characters than a dedicated grappler
I've recently played against a Millia that was mixing my shit... But I managed to take the sets from 0-10 to 8-14 (most of those were robbed with 2 pot busters)
no hammerfall?? god damn just hold back (idr the exact timing it's like 30ish frames) and then press forwards + button you can slide your stick along the bottom if that's more comfortable, heat tackle isn't on that anymore
Doing RRC slight delay 2H HFB c.S/2S 2H 623K does 1 more damage than the RRC 5D 2S 2H 623K route This isn't important, but it is the slightest of optimization and I actually find it more consistent
@@StarryArrii You can, but I think only with c.S (not 2S) after hfb. I think this route also leaves you and the opponent slightly further apart than the 5D route? not sure but that's what it felt like
They really said “why is Potemkin managing pressure using an interesting execution check with a trade off of range for frame advantage? We wanted him to just eat glue!”
@@DioRando98 it only got worse character wise since then. and season 4 changed characters to be more annoying to fight against. also you die too quickly.
when the buster is busted
This is a real “increasing the number of interactions per round” moment
Broken as it may be, Bustin' STILL makes me feel good
@@KosmFanaticShrooms2039 it feels even BETTER now that it does a gorillian damage
I think without the context of the game, AC/AC+R Buster is the stronger move (that shit grabs at like halfscreen), but within the context of the games they exist in, Strive's buster might actually be better
As much as I miss round start kara buster, having an armored huge damage command grab just makes the happy chemicals in my brain
I'm glad I grew up with the jumpscare buster, but damn me if the "grab with your hands, not with your elbows" buster isn't much better
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BELIEVE WHAT ARCSYS JUST ANNOUNCED
the potemkin situation is insane
But Muh Karas tho
hi franky
WE'RE SO UNBELIEVABLY BACK
I am still shocked at the FDB changes. They gave us legit projectile game 🤷♂
The real shocker about FDB is that it's a reflector AND an obscene poke...
Imagine if it was still + on block too.

When the grappler is supposed to be grappling:
*HEAVEN OR GRAB, LET'S POT!*

you can also block the 6K then jump, it's beaten by FDB but it's still an answer
*Surely* he won't pot buster me a *fifth time...*
karabuster the grey became armoredbuster the -white- busted
Aa someone who hadn't mastered the kara cancel Pot Buster, the armor made me go from playing Potemkin like a bruiser with a good throw to playing as a proper grappler
The fact that a single meterless move does more damage than Sol’s reversal overdrive is crazy
0:14 MOM LOOK I GOT BUSTED

"But muh kara ruined him abloo bloo"
this move is ROBBERY free my ram now!!!
Season 4 Potemkin Buster: Just fuckin do it
This is just the one lesson;
One cannot nerf Frankentank
when the potemkin is buster
That CPEX B Driver clip brought back some good memories.
WHO CARES ABOUT BALANCE??? I AM HAVING FUN NOW...~
Real Soviet Damage hours
Potemkin is getting changes on the 23rd, including getting karas back!🎉🎉🎉
Pot in s4 is just absolutely crazy overall i like what they did, and i dont even main him
Buffing potemkin buster and HFB was the best thjing they could've done to pot, we still miss karas but we have more options to play with pot and still do the same amount of insane damage
just the range is insane enough. it outranges sol 5K second hit, which already had great range for a fast move
my friend who plays potemkin ALWAYS ends up landing pb or hpb against me
He needs it
Strive potemkin players when potemkin is a true grappler character now
@@aganaom1712
He's always been a true grappler
What are you talking about?
@Frankentank it's memed in some circles that previous versions of potemkin in strive were closer to traditional strike/ throw characters than a dedicated grappler
@@Frankentank Kara-special goons are unhinged
YESSSSSSSSS 🎉
Kara buster is still massive
I've recently played against a Millia that was mixing my shit... But I managed to take the sets from 0-10 to 8-14 (most of those were robbed with 2 pot busters)
Yeah since season I've been using the buster way more, and DAMN DIS SHIT IS GOOD xD
Eat gravity and armor squishies!!!
(Everyone else is a squishy)
Even with the changes I am still average TT
shhhh 🤫
Got to10th floor with zero knowledge about pot, just spam buster
AND I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO CHARGE INPUT LMAO
no hammerfall?? god damn
just hold back (idr the exact timing it's like 30ish frames) and then press forwards + button

potemkin buster

can you do it with frc?
@@StarryArrii You can, but I think only with c.S (not 2S) after hfb. I think this route also leaves you and the opponent slightly further apart than the 5D route? not sure but that's what it felt like
@@nununununununununununun id say the better route is whichever is more consistent with frc since saving tension and avoiding the penalty is huge
But is it cooler than doing 3 potemkin busters in a row? I think not
wdym its the most balanced its ever been ;)
They really said “why is Potemkin managing pressure using an interesting execution check with a trade off of range for frame advantage? We wanted him to just eat glue!”
BALANCE!!? THEY TOOK KARA CANCEL AND YOU SAID IT IS BALANCE!!
shame the game sucks now because of other changes.
Like what? I fell off after Happy chaos got released.
