Overview
Potemkin is Guilty Gear's mainstay grappler, but as in previous games, his command grab is only a small part of his overall gameplan. Potemkin uses short blockstrings combined with approaching moves like Hammerfall to overwhelm and confuse his opponent, then punish their reaction to his pressure.
Strengths
- Long-range normals with relatively high single-hit damage.
- Fast command grab with good range.
- Damaging conversions off corner hits.
- Highly invincible backdash.
- The highest stun resistance in the game, Potemkin is practically impossible to stun without a string of lucky counter hits.
Weaknesses
- Difficulty approaching and closing gaps.
- Few options for dealing with opponent's pressure.
- Long startup and recovery on many attacks leave him prone to counters.
- Big hurtbox.
