Potemkin is Guilty Gear's mainstay grappler. Potemkin uses short blockstrings combined with approaching moves like Hammerfall to overwhelm and confuse his opponent into making a mistake, then punishes their reaction or lack thereof.

- Potemkin Buster: The command grab that defines Potemkin. Blazing fast with huge range and damage, it lends itself well for use on offense and on defence when combined with universal mechanics and his great backdash.
- Powerful Backdash: A contender for the best backdash. A very good tool to get out of pressure situations due to being fully invincible until its final frame.
- Obscene Corner Damage: Some of the highest damaging conversions in the game off corner hits or Potemkin Buster.
- High Stun Potential: A number of Potemkin's combos use normals with high stun modifiers, making a stun a big threat. His Giganter Kai super also has a huge stun modifier, giving him combos that stun from one touch.
- Massive Stamina: The highest effective health in the game. Potemkin has a defense modifier of 0.93. He also has the highest stun resistance in the entire game, making him borderline impossible to stun.
- Unique Antizoning Options: F.D.B and Slidehead allow Potemkin to deal with zoning.
- Corner Reliant: His midscreen pressure suffers from not having strong ways to discourage Fuzzy Jump A form of defence where the defender switches from blocking to jumping at a specific time in order to block a strike then jump when there's a gap. Typically used to defend against tick throws.s and he lacks damage without the corner.
- Slow: Potemkin cannot run or airdash, and has 5f jump startup. This makes approaching the opponent difficult and linear, and Hammerfall is not a suitable replacement for these shortcomings.
- Weak to Zoning: While he has F.D.B and Slidehead, Potemkin still struggles to deal with matchups where his opponent would rather stay out of his range.
- Large: Big hurtbox that makes him more susceptible to instant overheads, F-shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters.s, and character specific combos.

One of Potemkin's best pokes. It is huge, has solid and easy reward on counterhit at most ranges, and is mostly safe on block at -4. Has a lower hitbox than f.S, so it's not recommended to prevent air approaches in the same manner. Can be used to keep opponents honest at range, or to keep them blocking so you can approach with HammerfallGuardMidStartup18[31]Recovery33Advantage-16.
Close hit combos into Hammerfall. On CH you can follow up with Hammerfall from any range, though if 5H catches an extended hurtbox it can fail to combo.
Similar to f.S, this move is susceptible to low profiles. Don't get too predictable!

An integral forward advancing normal, both in pressure and in corner combos.
Since it clears lot of space in a short amount of time, this can be used to stick to your opponent in blockstring. On normal block, cancelling to FlickGuardMidStartup19Recovery12Advantage+2 leaves a 1f gap, cancelling to HammerfallGuardMidStartup18[31]Recovery33Advantage-16 true strings but a slight delay will leave a gap, and cancelling to Hammerfall Brake will leave you +2! When combining all these options, 6K becomes a formidable threat as a pressure tool as it becomes a prime point to tick throw, reset pressure, or do a devastating frametrap. A savvy defender will look to instant block this move, as it takes most of the sting out of it on block by making the special cancel gaps larger and making it minus if cancelled to Hammerfall Brake. They may also use FD to push you out to make 6K whiff if you're not careful with your blockstrings
In the corner, 6K works excellent as a frametrap to catch jumps as on air hit it causes a long enough wallsplat to loop into itself through [6K > Hammerfall Brake]xN. These loops are a staple combo filler in the corner due to dealing very high damage.
- On air hit, causes approximately 36f of wallsplat.
- Staggers on counterhit

His longest reaching normal, and his most damaging, but not suited to standard poking due to its slow startup. Instead, it can be seen as combo filler or as a situational combo starter
Midscreen, there is no meterless followup on normal hit, but they are launched a far distance towards the corner. On counterhit, the same applies. Closer to the corner, 6H's value as a combo starter drastically increases. In the corner, a slightly spaced normal hit 6H has meterless followups on a majority of the cast that leads to dealing 50%, and a counterhit 6H will lead to a practical, meterless TOD on half the cast from slightly closer than round start position. As a result, 6H is most commonly used to fish for counterhits or as a combo starter after a stun.
- On hit, blows the opponent backwards. Grounded hits float upward slightly in addition to this.

Universal overhead. Punish tool, combo tool, and occasional surprise mixup tool.
5D has incredible reward when you can land it. A simple homing dash combo in the corner will deal extreme damage, and a homing jump that ends with I.C.P.MGuardMidStartup13Recovery29Advantage- has a great deal of corner carry. Much like other 5Ds, it's fairly difficult to use in pressure due to its slow startup, obvious animation, and orange glow. However, its high reward on hit make it worth trying occasionally.

2P is a great normal that does just about everything you could ask of a P normal, except anti air.
It has amazing range that reaches at round start, and is only 6f Startup The time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame., making it a great abare tool when BusterGuardGround Throw: 308000Startup3RecoveryTotal 40Advantage+62 doesn't work, and it has a short total duration and good active frames making it a good low-commitment poke.

2S is a fairly large button that sees use in pressure and in neutral as a poke.
Lots of normals gatling into this, and it staggers on counterhit, making it a good frametrap tool. When combined with its 6K gatling, 2S being 0 on block when cancelled to Hammerfall Brake turns it into a solid point to tick throw, reset pressure, and frametrap from. Though it has less range than f.S and 5H, it can also be used as a poke as it gatlings to 2D for a simple knockdown at all ranges

2H is a slow but high reaching normal with short horizontal range. One of Potemkin's best counterhit starters, and decent at anti airing too.
As an anti-air, this normal is not recommended over 6P as it has no upper body invuln with similar startup, but is still usable on prediction. Its high vertical reach makes it best used on hard reading an air approach, or to hit someone high in the sky
On hit, 2H combos into an air series using HammerfallGuardMidStartup18[31]Recovery33Advantage-16 Brake. On counter hit, the victim is unable to tech at all, leading to big damage and corner carry, or even a stun with Giganter KaiGuardMidStartup9+8RecoveryTotal 50Advantage±0. When combined with Hammerfall Brake making 2H +2 on block, this normal becomes a dangerous threat when applied properly.

Complimentary low poke to 2K and key grounded knockdown button.
Most grounded combos will end in this normal as it gives a safejump on hit, or just a normal meaty. In pressure, 2D's lack of cancel options means that it ends your pressure on block, but it's nigh unpunishable at only -2 with decent pushback. It can also be used on oki when you're too far away for 5K but it's better to use a normal with special cancels, like f.S, to continue pressure

As it gatlings into j.P and j.H, you can do silly tick throws with j.P and double overheads with j.H if j.S connects high enough

0,15×2,40 | Unblockable Hit Grab | 12 | 2 | 21 | +14 | |
90 | +53 |
Heat Knuckle is Potemkin's anti-air grab. He reaches his hand up at about a 45-degree angle, and if the opponent is caught, they're locked into his hand to be set on fire. After three hits, they get blown away. In the corner, Potemkin can actually grab them with another Heat Knuckle if he's still close enough.
Heat Extend is a follow-up to Heat Knuckle, in which Potemkin channels energy into his gauntlet, then blows the opponent away with a large explosion. This adds a big chunk of damage to Heat Extend, and sends the opponent farther away, though they can still tech before they hit the ground.
Since Heat Knuckle always sends the opponent away, there's no reason not to use Heat Extend except in rare instances where you can combo Heat Knuckle into itself.

214P | 50 | High / Air | 25 | 9 | 6 | +4 | 1~39 Lower Body |
Potemkin leaps forward or backward with a heavy double-punch. Though he isn't airborne immediately, he does get some lower body invulnerability from frame 1 which persists all the way into Megafist's recovery.
Forward Mega Fist has some use as an approach, especially if YRC'd, but is very unsafe on block (guaranteed throw up close) and not even that useful on normal hit. Meanwhile, backwards Mega Fist is plus on block and staggers on counter hit. However, this doesn't mean you can't use Forward Mega Fist in pressure: properly spaced, it is good way to advance and stuff certain moves.
Megafist is a surprisingly good option during Danger Time, since it's relatively fast overhead and leads to 5D on hit.
- Forward: Lower body invuln frames 1~39, airborne from frame 3 onward.
- Backward: Lower body invuln frames 1~39, airborne from frame 5 onward.

Potemkin rears back, then slams his massive body to the ground, creating a shockwave. This attack actually has two stages. The first is Potemkin's actual body, a standard attack that hits low and knocks the opponent down if they don't block it. Once he lands, the shockwave occurs: if the opponent is on the ground when it happens, they get knocked down. In both cases, the opponent is knocked down for considerably longer than usual, giving Potemkin plenty of time to close the distance, if applicable, and set up okizeme. Note, however, that if the first attack connects, even if it's blocked, the shockwave will not occur.
Slide Head has some upper body invincibility as it starts up, which might be enough to get you out of a counter-poke, but don't rely on it too heavily.
There is also a window in which Potemkin can hit the ground and create the shockwave effects, but then YRC before the actual shockwave occurs. Great if you're trying to scare the opponent into jumping.
You can also time Slide Head so that the shockwave hits just as the opponent is getting up. Only a reversal backdash, blitz, or another move with frame-one invuln/airborne state, will save an opponent from this. You can then RC, slowing down time and extending their knockdown animation, giving you time to combo them while they're still airborne and do some big damage.
There are some exceptions to the rules for Slide Head's shockwave. Some characters have dashes that are considered airborne, which allow them to avoid the shockwave simply by dashing forward (I-no, Ramlethal, Dizzy, Johnny, etc). Generally these dashes have obvious effects, like teleportation, or make a distinctive sound when starting up to indicate their unique status.

Hammer Fall > P | Total 15 |
Potemkin's go-to mobility and pressure tool. He lunges forward on the ground, arms spread, then smashes them together once he's in range of the opponent. He can travel about 3/4 of a screen length like this, and the attack only goes active if the opponent is in range to be hit by it (though, if they're moving at the time, the actual attack portion's startup may still cause it to miss). While traveling forward, Potemkin has a single hit of super armor, which will absorb any attack besides Overdrives for half damage and keep on truckin'.
Unsafe on block, you should be really careful to throw this move out without meter to yrc/rrc. Also has some utility in combos, as it causes float on hit, and has long untechable time in counter hit. Mostly, though, you'll be using it for Hammerfall Brake. By hitting P during a Hammerfall, you can make Potemkin come to a sudden stop, so long as the attack hasn't started. This allows you to, for example:
- Absorb the hit of an obvious attack with long recovery, Brake, and punish.
- Cancel into Hammerfall during a block string, stop early, and tick grab/punish escape/continue pressure.
- Create combos by canceling attacks into Hammerfall, Braking, then following up. (Especially common after 2H or cornered 6Ks!)

Flick Dat Back! Potemkin kneels down and props his arm up, storing up energy and unleashing it with a quick flick. The flick itself has a massive hitbox, much larger than its animation suggestions, and can stagger opponents on hit or keep you safe on block. Its faster startup compared to previous games creates new opportunities for combos on the ground, especially after 6K.
- You can hold button to delay flick.
While F.D.B. is starting up (frames 4~18), if a projectile attack hits Potemkin, he'll reflect it back with the flick as a screen-filling wave of explosions. This wave eats up other projectiles it meets, and if it hits the opponent on the ground, will cause them to stagger (on air hit they just get floated a bit, but the untech time is still decent). This instant flick also makes Potemkin recovery significantly faster, allowing him to capitalize on this new pressure he's created.
- If Potemkin reflects a projectile, he becomes strike invuln until he recovers.

Potemkin's signature attack, and one of the scariest command grabs in all of fighting games. He pulls the opponent up, hoists them over his head, then leaps into the air and slams them down before throwing them aside. Deals high damage, has deceptively long reach and incredibly fast startup.
If you do have the meter to spend, RC as he throws the opponent away, jump forward and hit j.H late, then follow up on the ground with something like c.S > f.S > Heat Knuckle, or a 6K loop if in the corner.

Potemkin hunkers down before exploding in a pillar of fire. Has high vertical reach - far past what the fire suggests - but almost none horizontally. Launches the opponent on hit and also pulls them slightly inward, with time to air combo (usually with superjump j.P > j.K > j.S > ICPM). CH near corner grants 6H combos.
Absorbs projectiles while starting up, and has upper body invulnerability to boot, but is mostly used as combo tool or to catch really obvious air approaches. Potemkin is in counter hit state during recovery.

Potemkin propels himself through the air in an arc, leaving smoke in his wake. The move is active until Potemkin hits the ground. If he hits his opponent, they're pinned to his Pickelhaube and are dragged to the ground with him. If he misses, he sticks in the ground himself and is stuck there briefly before recovering, very unsafe on block/whiff.
- Potemkin can RRC when he has pinned his opponent and combo afterwards.
Potemkin gets significant advantage on wakeup against opponents hit by ICPM, which varies based on the opponent's wake-up timing.

The anti-air grab. Potemkin launches his entire body upward at about a 45-degree angle, although the hitbox is only on the inside of his hand and arm.
Does good damage, and is easy to connect after virtually any ground-to-air hit, making it a reliable ender. Can also be used to punish air techs or for a hard read on a jump. Corner HPB > RRC > 6H > xx leads to huge damage. Hellfire burst HPB is one of the highest damage attacks in the entire game (if you somehow manage to land it).

Potemkin rips the air apart like Hulk Hogan's tanktop, creating a field of energy that slowly floats forward. This wave of energy absorbs other projectiles that hit it, and if it hits the opponent it staggers them (if grounded) or puts them in a slow float with long untechable time (if airborne). In both instances, Potemkin is afforded plenty of time to follow up for big damage. Since it's a projectile, he isn't pushed back by the attack connecting, allowing him to make some interesting combos in the corner. In addition, the energy wave has a very high stun modifier, making it easier to dizzy the opponent.

The follow-up to Giganter. Holographic alerts fill the air around Potemkin as he bends forward, extending his body mechanically before launching himself forward.
Does massive damage and blows the opponent away on hit with substantial untechable time. Unlike Giganter itself, however, it has a 0x stun modifier, so its damage isn't counted at all when determining dizzy state for the opponent. This makes the choice to use Bullet an interesting one: do you go for the upfront damage and potential follow-up damage, or go for the dizzy and reset into an even more damaging combo?
The core factor for deciding which to use is your opponent's current health bar - the more health they have, the more you'll want to favor going for dizzy. Positioning matters as well, since Bullet only offers the opportunity to follow up if you're in or very near the corner.
