alright since a lot of these comments are mentioning it, i don't think sol is bad this patch - far from it, really. he's still absurdly strong at the things he as a character has set out to do. get in your face, kill you in two touches. yeah, i have to learn new combos, but that's just sol life. we learn too many combos for too many situations anyways what's the difference now? i'm not mad because they nerfed my character i'm mad because they took away my FUN. clean hit fafnir is fun to route into, and i'm sure it'll only get more fun as we get more used to the move's reworked properties. let us grieve for the loss of br1 confirms, mid-corner j.d conversions, and funny charged bandit bringer shenanigans together - as we move forward to a new chapter of badguy-ism. THAT BEING SAID I FUCKING HATE THE POTEMKIN CHANGES RAAAHHHHHHHHHH yes i'm making this a comment and not the description because i fuckin KNOW y'all mfs don't read descriptions smh my head original comment: i posted this video *almost* entirely on accident i didn't schedule it i didn't write up the description i didn't even write the TITLE that title is the NAME OF THE VIDEO FILE and i just slapped it out there into the wild i'm so sorry y'all HAHAHAH
As soon as I saw the actual patch notes, I felt genuine concern for your mental health. They absolutely murdered Pot. If you wanted to take this time to branch out into other games, no one would blame you. Whether it be other fighting games like Granblue, Blazblue, Undernight or even Tekken, or just a different genre entirely, do what’s fun for you.
i was gonna say something along the lines of "surely you didn't expect me to keep such an obnoxious mod on" but then i remembered i still have totsugeki potemkin on and then i realised how hypocritical it sounded to say that and still have THE MOST obnoxious mod on. that is to say, ggwp shake my hand you win this time.
i have barely played since the patch. it feels like they broke sol's legs and he's just a completely different character now. i hope someday he can regain at least a bit of what he had pre patch
they broke his legs and gave him a wheelchair in clean fafnir and... it's gonna work, i don't think his top tier status is gonna change at all, he still does what he does better than anyone else. he's just... not fun...
@@saladmixx i guess it'll take some getting used to. the timing was just really shitty for me cus i only managed to learn his main combo routes around 2 months or so before the patch. looking forwards to seeing how you'll make him work tho
On one hand, I was just getting into Sol and on the first day booting up strive and seeing 5H barely wallbounce fucking killed me inside, not to mention my discovery of bandit revolver. On the other hand, I am also a Potemkin main. I was devastated that morning the patch notes were released. However, I think he's in a good place even if they took away ALL HIS SAUCE AND SKILL CEILING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (That aside I am still having fun with the game so like, not a huge deal breaker? I just think they should give Sol his shins back because I don't think bro deserved having one of his moves fucking deleted)
listen this patch is AMAZING for casual and new players, don't let my sadness pull you away from the fact that all the changes hugely benefit the experience on every level that isn't mid-high GUILTY GEAR STRIVE WILL BE OK I AM JUST VERY SAD HAHAHAH
I still don’t get why’d they remove Kara buster or just Kara 6k in general. Seeing pots do kara garuda and buster is just funny and now all of that is just gone like it never existed. Like wdym ur just gonna remove an extremely rewarding tech that Pot has?
trying to lower the skill ceiling and floor i guess? but it doesn't make sense to do that so late into a game's lifespan.. so i'm just left utterly confused
The Bedman? changes seem good, but unfortunately I'm not good enough to get particularly excited over them. The head explosion being near full screen is super fucking funny though.
bedman? does seem slightly better. not like a massive shift in their playstyle or win condition but bed install seems easier to implement into your gameplan now at least
I still think it's vulnerable to jumps but there's surely some fun stuff unlocked by space trapping or just scoring a lucky hit from throwing it out randomly. Truth be told I haven't had the time to test it properly I've been having too much fun with Dizzy lmfao
@saladmixx yea, we're supposed to be glass cannons, we touch you, we delete over half your health bar, we fight an ABA, we switch to Johnny because Jesus christ fighting ABA as a slayer is undoable
One that I'm having fun with is c.S > 2H xx Vortex, c.S > 6S xx CL faf. Gotta delay the second c.S just a little as they're falling, but it's like 230 meterless from midscreen. I think Sol's gonna be fine. The scientists will work something out.
Read the title as "payday" and expected more variety content but this is just sad... at this rate for season 5 they're going to give baiken her arm back, remove all the cool stuff she can do with her whatever it is in place of her old arm, and call it a buff.
@@Brass319 well they didn't nerf him in any really meaningful ways, if anything he got buffed, just stuff got shifted around enough that we're gonna be learning a ton of new routes oh and fafnir doesn't guard crush anymore. it's not even plus. fun.
@@saladmixx The worst kind of change. Neuter the way something with already top-tier damage feels to play but buff the damage to compensate. Square Enix actually did this in Final Fantasy 14 recently with my former main Viper. They simplified the non-burst damage rotation and buffed their average dps by 2.5% (a huge difference in an MMO) even though it was already absurdly more powerful than other dps jobs so now it feels worse to play and yet is even more mandatory to include in party comps.
@Brass319 yeah it's like just tell me you want me to quit bro HAHAHAH i hate these types of changes cuz it's like- technically a buff, just not fun to play anymore. yes i like big damage, but i played this way because it was FUN not because i was WINNING.
EXACTLYYY THANK YOU now it's only purpose is a mediocre combo ender, an odd knowledge check frame trap, and still remains the easiest metered 50/50 in the game 😭
I play all 3 Valentines, so this patch was give and take. Ramlethal feels so different I don't know how to play her anymore, and that's heartbreaking. Sure her beam super does more damage again, but at what cost? I lost a flashy combo in exchange for the most annoying part of Ram being even more annoying
yeah like sure ram is super strong now but she's just more boring and her cool stuff - her crazy rekka combos/pressure - are just dead and buried and it's just... man. :/
real talk, try out fafnir clean hit combos. f.s 214s, 2k>6s 41236h is an auto sweetspot from midscreen that gets you a wallbounce. I feel the loss of BR shenanigans, but lets be real, that shit was obnoxious to fight. Believe it or not, if you can confirm vortex, you'll actually get more reward from it than BR routes. Theres a light at the end of the tunnel, i promise.
i am doing it, and it IS more reward, but it just isn't as fun. there's something in my little lizard brain that loves the idea of "OH I DON'T DO THE SECOND PART OF THE MOVE BUT I LAND AND I CAN STILL COMBO HOLY SHIT" that just doesn't hit the same as vortex does sadly :/ i will say, clean hit fafnir combos are pretty satisfying.
i'll give it a good like 2 weeks before i come to a conclusion on this patch, but overall not looking good that suggestion sounds really tempting HAHAHAH
@@saladmixx guard crash for what? slower explosions and not being able to recover that? its nerf for me, for someone else it might be buff i'm the kind of person who dont look for combos, but instead do ones for myself and it just feels bad that I had to create entirely new combo because they changed EVERYTHING in my main combo (also, im floor 2 because I mainly play with bots)

So true on the description thing, that 40 minute video had exactly one comment doing what you asked in the description
Turn the part about sol into a pasta, but change every mention of sol to pot or any athore character that got dumbed down.
@@ГармашОлексей-ь4ь oh god i did write a copypasta, huh?
Playing POTEMKIN is playing the role of a silly clown but I won't turn my back on him.

@@retrorebootmusicWe're cooked brothers
This patch was certainly one of the patches of all time
it is... definitely a sight to behold, for sure.
this is what happens when you listen to mariah carey on november 1st
THE CURSE OF MARIAH CAREY STRIKES AGAIN
Notice how when Sol becomes only slightly worse the entirity of strive implodes in on itself from bad patches
oh yeah no this patch was NOT playtested there is so much dumb shit and so many weird bugs
we might be riding the fire with this one (im creatively bankrupt rn)
it's ok me too bestie
Sol Badguy turned into Sol Worseguy
three (3) feelings of sadness, two (2) melancholic realizations, one (1) cowabummer dude.
MY KARA BUSTER NOOOOOO (new range and damage is ridiculous, goodbye chip)
i was JUST getting into kmbf combos too :(
It's never been more Kara Back Megafistover, pot bros
i will never forgive arcsys for what they did to potemkin

dawg i was not ok i went through more emotions the night of dizzy's release than i had experienced in the entirety of 2020😭
RIP Pot, last seen roaming the streets of LA at 10:20 pm
WHERE DID PEPSI MAN SOL GO, WHERE IS MY CHILD. But as a fellow sol badguy enjoyer I miss bandit revolver into 5k dearly

SOL DOESN'T NEED SHINS WHEN HIS WHEELCHAIR IS JET-POWERED
i know the patch came out on october 31st but damn i wasn’t expecting it to be this scary
genuine jumpscare patch idk why they just decided to take away pot's entire skill ceiling but ok go off i guess arcsys
your honor my client had 100% meter
your honor you wasn't even there
Sol getting a meterless (albeit never happening) 190 damage wallbreak from a roundstart farslash is cool
i would rather have bandit revolver hitconfirms than whatever the fuck this is i won't even lie HAHAHAH
@ tbh same
I'm new to the game, i really don't know what's up with the patch, but it saddens me to see people experince things like these.

Nah you haven't gotten around to trying sol clean hit fafnir shenanigans, he's even more fun now

oh sol's gonna be more than fine he looks like he's doing way more damage than he used to and i don't even know how they managed to do that
There are no omega striker stickers that can express my pain. I'm a Ram player and things are a bit different for me
