Mashing 5p against Pot cS was actually not that uncommon to stop him from doing walk cS/kPB afterwards. Yeah he can frametrap with 2S or 6k gatling just Pot also loses his turn once those moves are used.
Never thought a buff to my main would hurt so much. I was a new player and beyond everything, it was the challenge of the Kara cancel that made me want to try guilty gear and Pot in the first place. Potemkin got buffed, but at what cost?
i wouldn't even call it a buff, what did he get, a confirm off of slide head? one hit of armor on buster? heavenly being changed to a GG input? everything else was just to alleviate the cost of removing karas, and not even all of them were a positive, like we lost counter-hit properties on garuda and gained the no knockback we could have gotten by just doing a kara. its not a buff, its just bad

All these were part of his kit since the beginning and now its suddenly a problem? wtf
@lessonman_3961 could u explain more in depth? it doesnt look like the input change would change much aside from having to relearn the new inputs (i.e now i buffer 632146 instead of 236236 after 2H to confirm into HPB)
@@art1637 its the muscle memory of it and having to basically relearn it. That input for HPB has been with Potemkin since he got it and i've already missed a few HPB cause my brain auto went to 236236S. It boils down to having to retrain yourself after it being a certain way for literally 2 decades+. Not as easy to erase that
I had one of the most terrible weeks of my life and now they did this to my favorite character. Really the cherry on top. I always used strive to cope when life was rough. Now I can use my rough life to cope with this patch I guess.
It’s so rough man. I won’t doom to much, I’ve had my fun with Potemkin and hit my peaks, in the long run this will probably allow me to play more Strive better for a longer time as I try to invest more time in my professional and personal life. However my favorite character ever losing so much of his soul is tough
As a young zato main who never got to know the thrill….. of being a season 1 zato I always enjoyed fighting Potemkins because of they’re goofy antics the people who play him but now which my friend who got me into ggs was a Potemkin main he won’t be getting on today….
yep Armor on pot buster sucks ass because they can still hit you out of its startup and by the time you actually start grabbing you've most likely got them anyway like the can give high tier chip a wack-ass crazy rope but they take like 9 moves away from potemkin? brotha Daisuke might be going blind the way his vision is looking
This is so sad, I am a grappler player, I love labbing combos and this hurts. I used to enjoy learning Potemkin combos even if I didn't play the game actively. I asked around a bit and some even say he's stronger. But imo it isn't about that, its about expression. If its really bad, I hope the playerbase can reach Arcsys and hopefully roll back the changes.
I love practicing an input for a year only for arc system works to remove it form the game and buff gold louis and anji again, rip my son. I torture people with slayer for you now
I spent 200 hours just learning kara cancel. JUST learning how to use it. It was very satisfying to use, now I don't feel like it will be the same. My opponents won't be afraid if I use my Kara-moves.
What’s even crazier is that he now loses mobility, damage, and pressure. Other characters like Sol and Slayer kept their kara cancels and can literally command grab Dizzy from full screen with her ice field.
I know right? God damn game devs cant have a grappler be good because "boo hoo new players gonna get grabbed" AS IF LITTERALY EVERY CHARACTER IN EXISTANCE ISNT BETTER AGAINST SOMEONE WHO DOESNT KNOW HOW TO HOLD A CONTROLLER PROPERLY
Pot actually gained a lot of damage on certain moves and some of his stuff like pb knockdown was adjusted to give him better oki. The main really obvious nerf afaik is Slidehead being more punishable in exchange for actually dealing damage.
@@A2ZOMG even though pot was easily mid/low tier they still nerfed him and made him have way less tec and way less fun to play. 0/10 patch fuck you arcsys
I love Potemkin, but i can’t kara in a real match, the risk is way too high, so nothing really changes to me, i will always play my big boy. That being said, i think everyone is exaggerating, but i will show empathy for everyone I will say though that if you won’t play Potemkin just because he doesn’t have karas, you are not a real member of Potemkin gang, get out! In conclusion, i will never leave my boy and i hope the best for Season 4
I am actually looking forward to it. Yes, I put a lot of time practicing kara moves, but I also missed them about half the time it actual matches. I'm looking forward to see what creative people come up with for his new stuff.
Honestly, I'm sad we're losing karas too. but what i'm more sad about is the amount of pot mains i'm seeing, saying "yeah i'm quitting, this is my last night playing him." I'm dissapointed. Not dissapointed in the way that, i view those quitting pot mains as pitiful. no. In the way that It's dissapointing to see that I wont have many pot mains with me. I'm sad there's not gonna be a lot of potemkin mains playing in tower, or matches. To be fair, i've only been playing for 10 months. since january. I love kara cancels too. Honestly, i just view the 1.40 potemkin we're getting as something new to master. not a warped version of something i once loved. Because honestly, kara canceling wasn't ever what made potemkin fun. not for me. it was the gameplay and character itself. and taking away karas wont rip me away from the character. I dont imagine a lot of people will be with me on 1.40 day, at least, not for more than 1 game. maybe some pot mains will come along and try it, and have their confirmation bias take over, and then quit potemkin officially after that. I thought the saddest part of this patch was losing karas. but no. it's seeing so many pot mains quit the character because of it.
EXACTLY They nerfed him like one other time thru wild assault changes but they just said "fuck it, have a new move too." Its impossible for pot to not eat good so i fully welcome this
When I saw the armored buster I actually screamed, I thought "this is it, potemkin top 5, giving armor to buster is gonna make OKI a breeze" Then I read the patch notes, with kara cancel being removed I thought "OK, fair, armor buster already sounds op so, limiting Pot's combo and mixup potential for raw power sounds fair" ...then I read the frame data... the armor comes up on frame 5... the same frame the buster should come off... they gave a 5 frame move, armor on the *5th frame* ... we lost kara cancel to *nothing*
I see this ridding of the kara as a MASSIVE double edged sword. yes its sad that kara is gone and that was a huge part of his kit but if the buffs pan out like i think they will hopefully he will still play similar. Glue eaters stand strong. even in crisis (maybe) we still bust
he sadly doesnt if he could do a combo, blue wild assult, combo, blue wild assult and then HPB that would have been amazing, but it first of requires hella meter and second the old combos were just as if not even stronger, while requiring no meter so in the end, he got gutted abigail from sf5 moment
I'm just to sad to even think on something to say, but i only hope this comment helps the algorithm in some way so that make other people understand how they massacred our boy...
I dont even play ggs since goldlewis dropped but i still could never kara potbuster but when i did that shit made my balls hot and even your opps would compliment you for it. Only salty bad kids think its too strong. 😢 rip sweet prince. Even how tough you were in XRD with the 800 movelist just frame charge combos is going to be more fun that this gorilla fest hollow shell they turned u into. 🙏 rip
Sorry but losing kara is nothing compared to what potemkin can do now with ease. The "kara" is still kinda there it's just a tiny bit more fair for the opponent to see. other than that, Pot became really scary
Such a say day. I spent many hours in S3 to learn how to kara cancel, my biggest issue was always misinputting heat knuckle or failing to hold back properly for slide
New Pot isn't Potemkin anymore, this is Steve; a character who looks the exact same but is nothing like the old character. Completely destroyed my almost entire will to play and continue on with this character. Goodbye Potemkin, may you rest in peace in the heavens you reached during HPB. 2021-2024
I know everybody loves the kara but I never bothered to learn it and I did okay in matches. I made it to celestial the first time I ever played pot. Like the same day I played him. Plus it was obnoxious to have to put in inputs that were meant to be put in just for him to work on a higher level
This 1000%. I was in the same boat. Picked him up not knowing Kara was the only way to "get good". Felt like shit and even thought to drop the character. Now every move has been buffed and he feels alot better doing inputs. Overall I'd say a fantastic patch
Pot players convince themselves they're some kind of low tier hero; fighting hardships and high execution to squeeze out a nigh impossible victory. A radiant paragon amongst the struggling grappler community. Reality: imma grab dis guy twice so I can go back 2 eetin muh delicious Elmer's
@ThePerfectName, I just wanted to let you know, I'm a new player with 3 month of guilty gear now and barely any experience in fighting games in general. I started playing guilty gear strive in big part because of you and your video "why Potemkin Matters" and all subsequent video you did about Pot. My finance didnt really let me afford a new game so I was waiting to purchase it and finally got it thanks to a friend's gift. The first thing I did was go in the lab and practice Kara cancel pot busters, I was so excited to tackle this challenge and play a character I thought was fun in desing and philosophy as well as offering this technical challenge of a high skill ceiling to practice and reach for. like all of you veteran of the character, this new balance patch leaves me feeling gutted and upset. That being said, you can rest assured I will still strive to be the best pot player I can be. Something special is gone, that is true, but the overall gameplan and struggle remains, even with all the buff. I might not dedicate almost all my GG time to pot anymore, but I am looking forward to try and master this new pot still, already planning on spending some time with a friend who also main pot tomorrow and lab out what changed and how this will all play and feel. Thank you again for igniting this.
As a Pot main, this hurts. We had enough shit to deal with as it is. Wading through projectiles, chasing people with air dashes amd.back dashes across the screen. How are we supposed to land our beloved busters now?😅
"Did you get armored buster?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
"Everything..."

I never used Kara Cancel playing with Potemkin and it is pretty chill actually. So I see this as an absolute win.
Ahhh song to my ears, wont miss this guy in celestial
They took all of the taste from my glue
I dont even play ggs since goldlewis dropped but i still could never kara potbuster but when i did that shit made my balls hot and even your opps would compliment you for it.
Only salty bad kids think its too strong. 😢 rip sweet prince.
Even how tough you were in XRD with the 800 movelist just frame charge combos is going to be more fun that this gorilla fest hollow shell they turned u into. 🙏 rip
Potemkin's kara cancel really is the story of one man over coming his short comings for a split moment to prove himself.
**freesia starts playing**
We are back to hammerfall breaks. It's fine.
Which was also nerfed.
@amai2307 it's faster to cancel with armor. It's a buff
Sorry but losing kara is nothing compared to what potemkin can do now with ease.
The "kara" is still kinda there it's just a tiny bit more fair for the opponent to see.
other than that, Pot became really scary
All we can do is stay hopeful and pray.
Such a say day. I spent many hours in S3 to learn how to kara cancel, my biggest issue was always misinputting heat knuckle or failing to hold back properly for slide
I didnt even knee he had that cancel, he is like my 3rd most played char
Honestly, I'm not a pot main (I main Anji), but I do feel your pain. RIP Kara Cancels...
I've never gotten truly depressed when seeing patch notes until now. R.I.P Kara cancels....
New Pot isn't Potemkin anymore, this is Steve; a character who looks the exact same but is nothing like the old character. Completely destroyed my almost entire will to play and continue on with this character. Goodbye Potemkin, may you rest in peace in the heavens you reached during HPB. 2021-2024
You are not of the glue eaters. The Cult of Bust stays strong.
As someone who likes to do fun execution challenges in training mode. This makes me sad.
I know everybody loves the kara but I never bothered to learn it and I did okay in matches. I made it to celestial the first time I ever played pot. Like the same day I played him. Plus it was obnoxious to have to put in inputs that were meant to be put in just for him to work on a higher level
This 1000%. I was in the same boat. Picked him up not knowing Kara was the only way to "get good". Felt like shit and even thought to drop the character.
Now every move has been buffed and he feels alot better doing inputs. Overall I'd say a fantastic patch
Look how they massacred my boy
3 days ago I finally “mastered” the kara buster I didn’t even get to use it in the tower
Me, the Axl main, laughing in the distance
Pot players convince themselves they're some kind of low tier hero; fighting hardships and high execution to squeeze out a nigh impossible victory. A radiant paragon amongst the struggling grappler community.
Reality: imma grab dis guy twice so I can go back 2 eetin muh delicious Elmer's
A beautiful existence.
@ThePerfectName, I just wanted to let you know, I'm a new player with 3 month of guilty gear now and barely any experience in fighting games in general. I started playing guilty gear strive in big part because of you and your video "why Potemkin Matters" and all subsequent video you did about Pot. My finance didnt really let me afford a new game so I was waiting to purchase it and finally got it thanks to a friend's gift. The first thing I did was go in the lab and practice Kara cancel pot busters, I was so excited to tackle this challenge and play a character I thought was fun in desing and philosophy as well as offering this technical challenge of a high skill ceiling to practice and reach for.
like all of you veteran of the character, this new balance patch leaves me feeling gutted and upset.
That being said, you can rest assured I will still strive to be the best pot player I can be. Something special is gone, that is true, but the overall gameplan and struggle remains, even with all the buff. I might not dedicate almost all my GG time to pot anymore, but I am looking forward to try and master this new pot still, already planning on spending some time with a friend who also main pot tomorrow and lab out what changed and how this will all play and feel.
Thank you again for igniting this.
The did em like android 16 in fighters z😭
RIP MY GOAT 😭
If we all email arcsys asking for the Kara cancel back we may get it back.
As a Pot main, this hurts. We had enough shit to deal with as it is. Wading through projectiles, chasing people with air dashes amd.back dashes across the screen. How are we supposed to land our beloved busters now?😅
marlon brando: look how they massacred my boy!
I MISS MY KARA CANCEL. I USED TO BE HIM. NOW IM JUST MID
how long has it been? there is already a manifesto against this change. outstanding.
rip to the goat
It's so sad that this happened to my boy
THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IIIITTT!!!! THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
This is a sad day 😞 pass the glue we gonna need it
yo they reverted it back 🎉🎉
You know you could pick up Goldlewis, Join me... It's a better place.
Goldlewis was my nemesis since he came out. And doing BTs on hit box sound hellish. I'm sticking with Pot for now, but Ky is most likely my back up
