Strategy
- General Strategy
Defense
Good defense is Potemkin's most reliable asset. Damage and fear comes naturally, but bad defense can't be made up for. Learn to Instant Block and Slashback, and use these tools as often as you can. Learn blockstrings for other characters and figure out their weak points where you can Instant Block or Slashback > Potemkin Buster to turn the tables on their pressure. Don't forget about Faultless Defense, either. Sometimes FD will get you out of a situation that IB won't.
Potemkin is huge, and he has huge Guts, but don't delude yourself into thinking this makes you safe. If you play smart and avoid putting yourself in bad situations, you can stay on top of the match and open up more opportunities to unleash your ridiculous damage potential.
Movement
Potemkin is slow, but don't let that scare you from moving forward. It builds tension, keeps your opponent in range of your normals, and it's just plain scary. If you get a Sliding Head at long range, walking forward can build more tension than Hammer Fall, though obviously it won't get you as close. If you go to the air, avoid Super Jumping. Regular jumps get you about as far forward, and you can hold on to your double jump to avoid attacks or adjust to your opponent's positioning.
Mixup
Haha.
- Basic Combos
Ground Combos
- 5P > 5K > 2S > 2D
- Sometimes you're just not close enough to get 2H to connect.
- 5P > 5K > c.S > 2S > 2H > 623H (Extend)
- The full chain is actually very unlikely because the total knock back tends to put them out of 2H range. 5K > 2S > 2H or 5P > c.S > 2S > 2H are more likely.
- 5P > 5K > c.S > 2S > 2H > Hammer Fall Break, j.P > j.K > jc.Aerial Potemkin Buster - 25% Tension
- TK with 63214'7'6D to get additional corner carry. In the corner you can follow up with 5P > c.S> jc.APB.
- 5P > 5K > c.S > 2S > 2H > 632146H > Follow up... - 50% Tension
The full chain is actually not possible on most of the cast, again you should usually keep it short. Even at point blank it won't work on any of the light weights and some strange hitboxes. Follow ups are character and screen position specific. Bullet, 5H/2H > 623H is often available.
- 6K > 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- 6K doesn't have a lot of follow-up options, so just go for 2H > Heat, or any of the enders shown above.
- Counter Hit 6P , f.S > 2S > 623H
- 6P's a great anti-air and this gives you plenty of time to confirm the CH.
- Counter Hit 6P > 632146H ...
You can super late by doing 6321467H to confirm the 6P.
Counter Hit 2H
- Counter Hit 2H, 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- Counter Hit 2H, f.S > 2S > 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend) (If you're in the corner it will be c.S instead, but the combo is otherwise the same.)
Potemkin Buster FRC
- Potemkin Buster FRC, 2S > Heat Knuckle (Extend) - 25% Tension
- Works on pretty much everybody, at any position on screen.
- Potemkin Buster FRC, (5S >) 2S > 2H > Heavenly Potemkin Buster - 75% Tension
- Corner: Potemkin Buster FRC, 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend) - 25% Tension
- Corner: Potemkin Buster FRC, 5H > Giganter, 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend) - 75% Tension
- Corner: Potemkin Buster FRC, 5H > Giganter, 6H > Hammer Fall FRC Heat Knuckle (Extend) - 100% Tension
After Sliding Head
- Hammer Fall > Break, 5K > (5S >) 2S > Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- 5S can be used on "heavier" characters, otherwise skip straight to 2S.
- Hammer Fall > Break, 5K > (5S >) 2S > 2H > Heavenly Potemkin Buster - 50% Tension
- vs. Slayer, Baiken: Super Jump j.S |> (c.S >) f.S > Heat Knuckle (Extend) (Depending on timing you might get f.S instead of c.S, just go with it.)
- vs. Slayer, Baiken: Super Jump j.S |> 6P > Giganter > Giganter Bullet > 2S > Heat Knuckle - 50% Tension
- For these combos, you want the j.S to hit at the last stage of its animation, where Potemkin's hands are under him.
- Other Combos
Jump-Ins
- Late j.S or j.H |> c.S > 2S > 2H > Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- A j.S or j.H thrown late is the only thing that's likely to give you a ground combo.
- On some characters, in the corner, you can squeeze in a 5K upon landing for a little extra damage.
Counter Hit j.S
- Counter Hit j.S |> Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- Counter Hit j.S |> walk forward c.S > f.S > Heat Knuckle (Extend)
- Counter Hit j.S |> Giganter -> Bullet... - 50% Tension
- j.S has great ground bounce and untech time on counter hit, giving you a ton of options. These just happen to be the easiest.
