grapplers are the misunderstood godsent beings they're the silent heroes punishing those insufferable setplays they're the crusaders sending chills down the spine of rushdown coke snorters they're the troopers struggling through the cowardice of those zoners they're merciful enough to be considerate and not mess much with the special kids(also known as item throw characters) as good as they may be even they are unable to remember those bland shotos that is done with the humble weight of a slow neutral game, a couple command grabs, willpower, grit, and the desire to see people get crushed still , the unbelievers crucify them for they do not understand the good they're doing, but they carry on with the armor on their back and their head held high. in sha'pot
The most messed up thing about them laughing and cheering is when he died she was like, "Nanikore!?! (What was that!?! Like man you come up here and play. I'm fighting for my life lol
I don't know, it's hard to control the hype when you see the kara-pot buster in neutral. Gio's crazy, 100% the most underrated character. Like, I know we're all here on tower, smoking the Gio who's spamming the same string over and over again. Purposely not remembering that one Celestial Gio that just 3-0's you, and you just never left the corner the whole time. A Gio in the right hand is mad crazy.
I have to say, potemkin makes me laugh my ass off. I just love how he creates despair in the heart of people. I played Ky, but Potemkin's time will come one day.
@@Kizzie_Kay I know Kizzie is a GRAPPLER by heart. You just have to embrace it bro. Here's a glue- I mean a lemonade. Don't worry its safe bro, trust me.
Man, you had to call me out like that. I just want to sniff my paint in peace, plug in my Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel, and have a good time tossing fools.
I have seen a rise in Gio players throughout the Tower. The bad ones are pushovers, but the GOOD ones? NO BREATHING WHEN YOU'RE PUT IN A BOX, LOCKED IN THE CORNER
Haven't played Strive in a month, but saw your video recommended and I was not disappointed. Keep doin what you're doin my man. Always fun to watch and I doubt I could ever ever ever root against you! P.S. Loved the follow up on floor 1 Ky to floor 9.
I’m curious to know what he meant by “her archetype is not appealing” only because I’ve been trying to pick her up as a secondary and I find her speed for decision making to be difficult to start out.
i mean i get that sometimes is better not to use white rc to save meter, but gubou literally died with 100% in that situation, so i dont think it applies to what you said about not being worth, cause might as well use it instead of dying with 100% tension lol
at the start of strive and during the beta, i mained Gio and i loved how she played, tho i stopped playing more so cause people hated playing her espcailly worth some my friends so it highkey just pushed me away from wanting to play her anymore cause the hate that i got just from maining her made it un fun to play her
As a nago player, Gio is one of three characters I feel like I need to zone out. B/c the alternative is being put in time out for not blocking a BRC mixup. Somehow, Sol is less frustrating to fight than Gio.
Last time I made a tier list, I had Gio as 7th place (Sol, Leo, May, Chipp, Pot, and Nago before her) and I had people arguing with me over HER and not Potemkin. They ain't know bro...
I’m actually thinking of switching to Potemkin. I’m dead in the water with Axl and it’s killing my drive to keep moving forward. Great vid as always Kizzie
I don't understand why every other Pot player does Megafist after 2h instead of heat knuckle, it does more damage in every situation and guaranteed wall break close to the corner.
You basically get no oki after heat knuckle, with megafist you can threaten a command grab on their wake up. So you are giving up a little damage to potentially do a lot of damage.
Heat knuckle its a good move but it leaves pretty far from the opponent and like the other guy said, no oki With megafist you have an amazing oki or pressure with garuda on his wake up
As a Pot player, Mega fist after 2H leads to closer positioning and can help set up better oki. Also since heat knuckle -> WB doesn't lead to hard knockdown, I don't want to reset neutral after WB depending on the matchup.
Gio is really fuckin strong. The thing is, hardly any pros play her, because she's so straightforward, and many people find her boring. She doesn't show up in tournaments that much, so people assume she's weak. She's popular with casuals, but not really with pros. Compare this to Leo. Stronger than Gio, in my opinion, but also played by a huge number of very skilled players, so he shows up in tournaments way more and gets that top tier rep.
@@TriFF51 I think Gio might have more potential, but Ram has more sauce. Gio has like 6 moves and they're all kicks. You can do a lot with the tools you have, especially with the dash cancel shit, but she's still not exactly rocking the variety pack. Ram, in theory, has more stuff, but she's so busted that she's boring.
@@journal_1396 maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention but I swear ram is just far slashes into sword toss into absurd corner loop. Rinse repeat. Occasional wake up super...maybe it's because she's rare but it's fun to watch a Gio every once in a while.
@@TriFF51 That IS what she does. Because it works. Ramlethal players CAN do cool or interesting shit, but they have no incentive to. Press f.S 5H, throw sword, autopressure, autocombo, win. Maybe wake-up super or do the big slash into RC. Ram HAS sauce. But there is literally no reason to do it, and she's shit boring to watch and to play against.
the fun part of playing gio is that you REALLY dont see her shine until high level, she’s very easy to pick up and play, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, she is PAINFULLY average. easy to learn, damn hard to master. I was that one guy a while back who thought gio could be busted with a shitty projectile, bc i didnt know how consistently good she is. worst MU is ram, and even THAT is barely in ram’s favor lmao
I think pot is garbage till he smells a hit of fear. Once they smell fear pot jumps 5 tiers, it doesn't matter of they at one hp you even imagine a negative feeling and they suddenly hit you with the p.rc and you go form perfect match to dead in .1 seconds, unwinnable. You say you can block the mix? Can your health bar block it tho? You spend all your meter on fd and you still lose 25%. You make one mistake, you give up one inch, you think about a burst or y.rc you level them up bro
i would rather have commentary than all these reactions, awes, and giggles but i guess that's what they're paid for at least from what i can tell from these clips.
yeah...the commentators(maybe?) are kind of dumb. What's worse is that they actually play the damn game. Here are they channels in case you are interested: th-cam.com/channels/0kQ9dBA9UFS-QKlV4EXnaQ.html th-cam.com/users/c%E9%95%B7%E5%8F%8B%E6%84%9B%E8%8E%89potato

No
I get a special kind of joy out of hearing Kizzie talk about -glue eaters- grappler players
Potemkin once again being the most hype character in a Kizzie video
The grappler council will consider you when the final day arrives
Bro don't say shit like this. They might make one of my favorite characters a Grappler archetype
@@Kizzie_Kay but ky its already a grappler
Ky is a grappler, his mix up is not grab and command grab. But dipper or run up grab
@@Kizzie_Kay I know Kizzie is a GRAPPLER by heart. You just have to embrace it bro. Here's a glue- I mean a lemonade. Don't worry its safe bro, trust me.
of all the characters with whack damage outputs in this game, pot' s the only one to inspire such emotion
Man, you had to call me out like that. I just want to sniff my paint in peace, plug in my Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel, and have a good time tossing fools.
Love him or hate him
Pot busters are satisfying af
It’s actually a drug
I have seen a rise in Gio players throughout the Tower. The bad ones are pushovers, but the GOOD ones?
NO BREATHING WHEN YOU'RE PUT IN A BOX, LOCKED IN THE CORNER
Potemkin is my favorite character in this game. I know everybody hates them but I really hope we get another grappler as a dlc.
Same, I hope for a technical kind of grappler. But it's arc, they only make 90% rushdown and 10% weird stuff (happy chaos, faust, jack-o)
@@gabrielst527 how dope would it be if they add Gabriel as a playable character and he’s a grappler
@@raw-b6658 give him dunks like android 16 and add explosions.
@@ColdNorth0628 I’d be in love
im proud of my fellow pot player. keep strong glue eaters
5:47 Yes burst. That combo leads into Potemkin's win condition, and you always have to worry about taking unburstable damage from a grappler.
Haven't played Strive in a month, but saw your video recommended and I was not disappointed. Keep doin what you're doin my man. Always fun to watch and I doubt I could ever ever ever root against you! P.S. Loved the follow up on floor 1 Ky to floor 9.
Damn Can I just comment how GODLIKE this thumbnail is?
Ah yes, finally!
*sips lead paint with glue garnish*
A good video complimenting us grapplers
Potemkin literally walked up and stole the bank.
I just feel like the way this game is balanced, every characters is so good, but some are gooder y'know?
I love grapplers
U and me both brother
I hate grapplers.
And thus, balance is achieved.
@@gengarisnotinsmash... I too hate grapplers. now there is more balance
I love grapplers. I will break balance
(Looks at all you guys in this section) 😡
No Potemkin bad, now give me buffs
Bro this shit is already funny I love watching pot gameplay
"You're laughing, I made one mistake against Potemkin, and You're laughing???"
I watch all character videos but the Potman videos and shots are the best... and the funniest
I’m curious to know what he meant by “her archetype is not appealing” only because I’ve been trying to pick her up as a secondary and I find her speed for decision making to be difficult to start out.
My favorite grap of all fighting games still goes to Tager, like his actual glue hands is so funny.

Those RC’s into grabs is the scariest thing they’ve added

At 11, he may have not grabbed to keep the corner pressure

Say it with me: "He needs it."
Grapplers are the choosen people of the glue god
7:07 pretty sure this is actually a drop Kara Megafist kills after 6h.
Whats the song in this vid at the end tho
Yo is that TY the same insanely good blue and gold Slayer from Rev2?
I don't understand why every other Pot player does Megafist after 2h instead of heat knuckle, it does more damage in every situation and guaranteed wall break close to the corner.
I Guess they want to push you for the corner to bully him
You basically get no oki after heat knuckle, with megafist you can threaten a command grab on their wake up. So you are giving up a little damage to potentially do a lot of damage.
Probably better corner carry and Oki, but don't take my word for it. I'm not a pot player.
Heat knuckle its a good move but it leaves pretty far from the opponent and like the other guy said, no oki
With megafist you have an amazing oki or pressure with garuda on his wake up
