The verdict of this matchup

[Eshi]

This match-up is extremely good for Justice until she gets knocked down. Pray you have 75 meter when it happens because Potemkin will run through Justice's lack of defensive tools.

* K missile is extremely good in this match-up because Potemkin can't flick it. At all. Use P missile only if you want to mix him up, use K missile if you want to zone.

* Potemkin can't hammer fall through any missiles since they hit multiple times.

* Slide head is Potemkin's best tool for getting in, so keep him within f.Slash/Michael Sword distance and you can shut down all of his approach options. If he tries to jump in, HS missile will stop him and it won't clash with jD. It's very frustrating for Potemkin.

* Both hits of 6P connect on Potemkin when close enough even when he is crouching, making it a 10 frame overhead instead of 18.

He can, however, slidehead on reaction to nukes. Be carefula bout when you toss that K nuke.

Yes, I should've emphasized that K/P missile should only be used after a jHS or Michael Sword knockdown. Using more than 1 missile is unnecessary since Potemkin has bad movement. Outside of a knockdown, FRC it and avoid/punish slide head.

I played some games with ABEGEN back at Shadowloo Showdown last year, and it turns out you need to be very careful about when you detonate the K nuke. Sure he can't flick the nuke, but she sure as hell can do so do the explosion. As a result, this matchup can get pretty darn tense as jumping around like a nutter will get you heatgrabbed, and one knockdown from him can spell certain death for you. It's definitely in her favour, but as much as it might seem at first glance. Probably just 5.5 JU's way.
