Overview
Before reading this page you should be somewhat acquainted with Potemkins Moves. There is a lot of information there and this page should not repeat it.
General Tactics
- Potemkin Strategy revolves around 3 aspects
-
- Bullying with Pot's hard hitting normals and specials at the midrange
- Slidehead, Hammerfall break to pester close the distance.
- Jab, Garuda and Kara-Buster once the gap is closed.
- Opponents aren't going to allow themselves to be in Potbuster range until forced to stop evading.
- When stuck in the corner -- 5P, Back-MegaFist, and Buster are your best friends
- Buster can be mashed during pressure by spinning the stick and mashing P
Do I have to learn how to kara?
- No. However, the time investment is low and the gains are numerous.
- Understand many punishes and Buster setups are unavailable sans kara specials
Neutral
- Round Start: 2P cancelled into 6K or most specials is a great place to start
- You could even try Karabuster
Pressure
Garuda
c.S to Garuda cannot be jumped.
Potbuster Setups
Slidehead, Hammerfall, break, Potbuster on wakeup.
Garuda impact and Counterhit 2S stagger, allowing for a guaranteed kara-buster in range. Blocked Garuda and blocked c.S allow for a strike/throw mix between buster or another button (e.g. delay 2s, delay 2h, or buster for blocked c.S, 2d, or buster for garuda)
