Probably my favourite match-up lol. Question though, how do you guys deal with Slayers who wake up backdash? I've started inputing an S into my j.S so if they back dash a f.S comes out and I can sweep them back into more mix-ups. Was wondering if anyone had anything better.

You can also: whiff jump-in -> 2K -> f.S - > 5H (They'll block the 5H but it's a free hammerfall in). This one should catch them if they try cancelling BD into a jump. (I need to test it)

Meaty 5H will also clip a full ranged BD

A well timed 6H will catch BD and add a ton of stun.

IIRC, there's no OS to guarantee punish his backdash(especially BDC 1f jump FD), you have to be creative to make him scare. depend on the distance and position you can try any thing. I saw FAB do safe jump OS 6H and catch Hase(or Taka i don't remember) BDC Dandy step and instantly take the round. I saw FAB do safe jump OS 2H in the corner and take take the round too.

Or you can OS Heat if the slayer is BDC 1f jump happy(saw FAB did this too)

However, the first thing you should do is to tighten your meaty jS timing, 2f reversal backdash is not an easy thing to do though

There is very little reason not to just pot buster half the time in this matchup it seems. Getting hit? Pot Buster. Blocking? Pot Buster? yeah.

 

Getting bitten? People love to do bite, teleport behind and bite, so do pot buster but reverse motion! It is my favorite.

 

Some more serious things:

You can deal with BDC if your'e close up by doing crossup j.H, even if they BDC you'll still be on them in a strong position to catch them based on what they did, or at least to not let them escape.

The Under Pressure (Overhead) mixup has a couple possibilities:

IB Under Pressure, and if "It's Late (Follow up)" comes in, IB that and it's a free Pot Buster.

IB Under Pressure, Pot Buster to beat the low

 

Slidehead at round start is actually really solid in this matchup, if they dandy step they get knocked down and are almost in the corner already.

 

There's a lot of cheeky Slayers on netplay who like to do stuff like Footloose journey to get in, Pot buster the landing recovery or if you really feel on point, 2H them for their troubles. 

 

Punish slides when you can, don't try too hard to punish if someone is on point with their meaty 2D, but if it's not hitting you on the last frame of the 2D you can probably IB Pot Buster. Basically Slayer's normal gimmicks don't work on Potemkin, if you think you have 3 frames to work with, Pot buster. Especially if you are good at using the Pot Buster motion to IB, this matchup is terribbbbllleeee for Slayer.
