Anji Mito

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Anji

Favorability Goes Here

Potemkin can set up a 50/50 against Suigetsu No Hakobi (Autoguard) by triggering the spin invincibility with 2P or 5P on reaction and canceling into Potemkin Buster if they don't jump or Heat Knuckle if they do jump. Demonstration
Potemkin can Flick the first part of Shitsu (236P) then hold Flick to easily reflect the second part (when the butterfly turns into a bird).
After Fuujin (236S) most of Anji's meterless follow-ups are beaten by a delayed Backwards Megafist (214P) can beat or avoid any option, making it very difficult for Anji to start his offense against a Potemkin who abuses this.

Axl Low

Favorability Goes Here

Kara Mega Fist and Kara Heat Knuckle are moves to represent to deal with the likes of j.SGuardHighStartup14Recovery18Advantage- and 2HGuardLowStartup11Recovery26Advantage-18 [-8]
Both the initial hit of ResengekiGuardAllStartup24Recovery29Advantage-19~-9 and its followup can be Flicked. However, If the initial hit of ResengekiGuardAllStartup24Recovery29Advantage-19~-9 hits meaty, the followup cannot be Flicked.
Axl is very negative after using SnailGuardAllStartup14Recovery29Advantage-24. Use Slide Head/Kara Mega Fist after block, depending on whether Axl would backdash or jump afterwards.

Typical grappler v.s. zoner matchup. Be prepared to play very slow and do a lot of walking and blocking. The upside is that once you're in, Axl only has system mechanics and Sickle StormGuardAllStartup11+1Recovery26Advantage-2 to save him; go to town and do not let him get away.

Dealing with Winter Mantis

Dealing with Winter Mantis.

reword: Winter MantisGuardGround ThrowStartup28Recovery34Advantage- can be overwhelming to deal with and sometimes hard to avoid. Due it being a command grab, you can still jump or backdash through it. When Axl is far away backdashing is usually a better option than jump as you can get hit on landing when forward jumping. If you read this move backdash to dodge and instantly Slide Head or Hammerfall to close the gap. Flicking at a long distance will motivate Axl to use this move more often so use it as a bait.

Faust

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Faust

Favorability Goes Here

Anti-Drill Punish

Faust's j.2K (Drill move) is a very disjointed jump-in attack, and will often beat out Heat Knuckle. It is recommended to use 6P> Heat Knuckle to punish Drill on reaction.
Love (j.236P), Afro Love, and Meteors (from What Could This Be? (236P)) can all be flicked. Flicking Love/Afro Love will result in the explosion trail, but flicking Meteors will only cause an explosion and end the move early.
Faust is very vulnerable to Slide Head (236S) while using What Could This Be?, especially if he is constantly throwing items without stopping.
Potemkin's 6P is his best answer to punish the scalpel part of Thrust (41236K). It will always result in a counter hit, allowing Potemkin to close the gap with Hammer Fall.
Potemkin's 6H will whiff if Faust is crawling.
Garuda Impact will ignite the afro if Faust has one on.
Faust has very few reasons to be running up to or point blank against Potemkin due to having long range moves, unless going for a regular throw, Snip Snip Snip (236H), or to pop an afro. Use backdash if Faust is running up to Potemkin with the intention of throwing or command throwing, then punish with Potemkin Buster.

Giovanna

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Favorability Goes Here

6P beats Sol Poente (Flip kick) and Trovao (Arrow) on reaction.
Giovanna can whiff punish the majority of Potemkin's normals due to her versatile dash. Pushing her to the corner may require use of 2P and 2K to stop her from dashing in, and walking forward to close the gap.
Giovanna has very strong pressure and meaties on Potemkin. It is recommended to use Faultless Defense on wakeup to push her out of her effective range.
6P > Heat Knuckle can interrupt Giovanna's 6HS > 6HS > 6HS after blocking the second hit.
214P is an invaluable tool in escaping Giovanna's pressure as it forces her to tighten blocktrings much more than normal or special cancel into Sol Nascente which is minus on block making for a simple punish if she does it prematurely.

Happy Chaos

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Happy Chaos

Favorability Goes Here

Slide Head and Hammer Fall are very useful tools in this matchup. It makes it much harder for Happy Chaos to comfortably zone with Steady Aim as both moves can armor a shot.
Potemkin's normals can be annoying for Happy Chaos to deal with.
Happy Chaos does not have any unique reversals, and must rely on YRC or Burst to deal with pressure. Baiting out either of these options can potentially cost him the entire round.
Happy Chaos struggles very hard when it comes to escaping corner pressure safely. If Happy Chaos tries to escape from the corner with an air dash, wall him out with an air normal like j.P or Heat Knuckle if they do not use an air normal. Air throws also work well.
Potemkin can cancel a normal into a special move if he hits a Scapegoat clone.
The clone will block Potemkin from moving past it if he tries to use Hammer Fall.
Air blocking Steady Aim shots will send Potemkin flying far backwards as if he air blocked a 6P. It's recommended to walk and stand block Steady Aim shots if Happy Chaos is zoning from full screen.
Giganter Kai does not shield against any shots. They are all treated as strike attacks, despite the visual effects of the gun looking like they are aimed at Potemkin.

I-No

[not updated/verified for season 2]

I-No

Favorability Goes Here

Potemkin can Flick Antidepressant Scale (music note) and Chemical Love (yellow diamond).
Stroke the Big Tree (236S/H) can be a very annoying move to deal with in this matchup. The S version is minus on block, giving enough time to push I-No back with a few 2Ps. The HS version is negative but safe on block, Pot can take back his turn with 5P.
If I-No does Sultry Performance (dive attack) and follows up with the bounce, Potemkin can 5P her. If I-No gets hit, link into 2S > Forward Megafist, then use Hammer Fall Break to close the gap. If I-No blocks, cancel into Flick to stay safe.
Garuda Impact can prevent I-No from closing the gap with HS Stroke the Big Tree, resulting in a big counter hit. At close range counter hit, use Potemkin Buster or Kara Potemkin Buster. If Garuda Impact counters from far away, use Hammer Fall > Break to close the gap, then use Potemkin Buster.
Grounded Ultimate Fortissimo (632146S) has a gap in between the first hit and the projectile hits. Potemkin has plenty of time to interrupt I-No during this gap, such as with full charge [5D], c.S, 2HS, 6P, Heat Knuckle, Heavenly Potemkin Buster.

Jack-O

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Jack-O

Favorability Goes Here

Slide Head will destroy all minions on screen if Jack-O blocks or is hit by the attack or knocked down by it.
Potemkin can cancel a normal that destroys a minion into Slide Head, which can make it much harder for Jack-O to get the rest of her minions set up.
Giganter Kai is a useful option to close the gap towards Jack-O if she is full screen, as the mirror will destroy any minions that touch it, and Jack-O's j.D will clash with the mirror.
However, Giganter Kai is a very bad wakeup option if a minion is next to Potemkin, as it will take the initial attack and the mirror will not come out.

Despite Ky being a jack of all trades, he can struggle to open up on offense meterlessly. It's okay to take the throw. If Ky has 50+ tension, then you need to be aware of backdash 66BRC instant overheads.

Leo Whitefang

[not updated/verified for season 2]

Leo

Favorability Goes Here

Mega Fist can punish fireball at range, alternative but more rewarding punish than Flick.
Zweites Kaltes Gestöber (236H) can be hard to interrupt or challenge at close range, but at mid-range, a regular throw can stop Leo from crossing up. A visual indicator is the gray dashing wind effect that appears during the move's startup.
Slide Head will destroy Leo's fireballs if they are active and if Leo is knocked down from the move.
Do not attempt to Flick Leo's fireballs based on a read. Leo can counter hit Potemkin's extended hurtbox with f.S or 5H if Potemkin is overzealous in his usage of Flick.
Potemkin will need to respect Leo's DP on knockdown. Spacing Garuda is recommended as doing regular DP-safe Garuda can result in Leo clashing with Garuda and acting immediately afterwards. Potemkin Buster can grab Leo's DP on startup but it must be a read and is susceptible to fuzzy jumps and/or mashing.
Backturned Leo is extremely dangerous. Leo's typically like to do Bt.K > Bt.P > Bt.S > Bt.H when close. You can defend against this by starting in crouch block, then standing block when you see the Bt.H, as it's an overhead.
- Faultless Defending against all four moves in succession puts Leo at about half screen away, but can be counterplayed with Backturn dash cancels as well as Backturn unstances (e.g. Bt.H 22) to keep pressure.
- Utilizing fuzzy defense can be a solid asset for Potemkin as a fuzzy Back Mega Fist will allow Potemkin to escape Backturn pressure strings, however can be counterplayed with Bt.D so it's not a go-to option always. Be sure to represent it as Leo whiffing Bt.D can create a punish opportunity. Leo can also jump cancel his Bt.K and look to air-to-air your Back Mega Fist.
S Eisensturm and HS Eisensturm (flash kick) will require Potemkin to respect Leo's wakeup options most of the time. Potemkin's Garuda oki can lose to Eisensturm if used too close to Leo, so spacing it is highly recommended. If Eisensturm clashes with spaced Garuda, Potemkin can use Heat Knuckle or Heavenly Potemkin Buster to visually confirm after the clash happens and safely hit Leo. Demonstration
When Leo does Leidenschaft des Dirigenten (632146H) (5-hit slash super), he is extremely unsafe on block (-33) after the final hit. This is enough time to fully charge a Dust attack for a punish.

Flicking both versions of Tandem TopGuardAllStartup12RecoveryTotal 45Advantage-10 (a.k.a. disc) is possible, but not recommended vs meaty H Tandem TopGuardAllStartup73RecoveryTotal 51Advantage+36.
Millia does not get true disc oki from a regular throw. If she sets up disc after throwing, represent Forward Megafist and/or Back Megafist as reversal options. However, Millia can cover her setup with an air normal if she expects you to get out using this, for which you can start representing 6P as well.

Millia has to commit more than Potemkin in this matchup. If you have a lifelead, it is recommended to play reactively and look to stuff her air-approach attempts. You also have to show that you are willing to challenge her in the air with fast buttons like j.P or even air throw.

rephrase this for overview: Blocking Millia's disc oki can be very hard, and guessing where she is going to hit Potemkin can often lead you to getting hit as you are trying to consider all the possibilities of how she will hit you. When you get knocked down, decide on how you plan on blocking her pressure when you wake up. This can be a better option than trying to guess, as you are committing to at least one form of blocking.
