*EDIT* Keep in mind this guide was made earlier on in the games life! While 95% of everything in here is still applicable, a few things like the throw option select have been patched out so keep more modern changes in mind! The Potemkin tips and tricks guide is now here! Weighing in at a titanic hour and 16 minutes, only the biggest for the big boy! As always these videos cover everything and more, so there's timestamps on everything if you wanna skip around to whatever sounds good to you, all stuff from the basics to advanced concepts and everything inbetween. Potemkin has a lot of nice little tricks but in the end everything revolves around landing that Potemkin buster, so go out and grab some fools!

I love how gg in general has little zoning. The purpose of fireballs in gg is usually to run behind them and make pressure stronger. Then, on top of that, pot has dope tools to deal with fireballs. Beyond fdb, everytime faust and anji toss anything, i slide head them on reaction (to be fair maybe i just haven’t ran into anjis/fausts who will block after throwing a projectile). Gg’s take on fighting games is for fun in a lot of ways. Take defense. With burst, even a grappler like pot has 2 dp’s per match, that u can even perform while getting hit (depending on the combo/spacing) this allows you to be mentally engaged, even while getting hit.
