Lol nvm. I whined too early when I was getting it 1 out of 10 times the other day. I got some consistency last night but my arm is toast due to the repeated just frame bicep flexing.

Help, I think I just shot myself in the foot. I realized I had to conform to one of japan's arcade button configs because I wasn't able to play right when the time did came around. As time passed getting used to config, P S D K H I realized that it was hard as fuck to piano 623K,K yrc with it. I could just macro PKSH on another button to band aid fix it but it won't do me any good if I play on an arcade again. So do you guys suggest I go fuck it and change my config again to another arcade default that is easier to piano this 623K? Did any of you went with a specific config just for johnny?

I'm late but what the fuck, fab-sama

Dotnova gave me a lot of input on this thread on how to correct my play and how to properly approach the matchup. Vid is worth a look for reference to his notes if you could stomach how confused I was on those vids. Thankfully I now get good results whenever I play against that sol offline and I'm at lvl19 on the jp server (1-3f latency) if anyone cares about that. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/10865-potemkin-video-critique-thread-how-do-i-hold-these-busters/ I can't think of times where it was ever a good idea to abare sol with standing or crouching jabs. You should respect his normals then prepare for an answer when he commits to something. Getting safejump OS down perfectly will make your life in this matchup much easier. Other than that, your damage is going to come from reactive stuff like punishing volcanic. Well if you want some busters, I usually rob sols online/offline when I instant block bandit bringer. I haven't tested if it's guranteed because I've had loonies that successfully volcanic or backdash after bringer gets IB-ed but in most cases where pot IBs it while sol is pretty high midair, I'm confident it will work. I guess one very common potbuster trick while on the defense that you can do is after a backdash but don't rely on it too much.

You're a madman. Thanks for this. I keep calling out the axls doing that crossup but can only punish with 2d in most ranges.

I play pot. I realized that slayers are generally forced to do 5a>5b into mappa or whatever. I seriously can't remember exactly how did taka skin me alive when he visited the philippines. What did annoy me / worked well was him frequently iad-ing air gatlings which conditioned me to 6p them then dying like a dog.

You can just do some maximum distance hammerfall breaks to get into position. The autoguard will render you immune to the rifle shot.

When she has both swords and is far away, always be ready to flick. I dont know if you're aware but ram can use the other slower sword summon unless it's already out in the screen so you can easily get used to the timing. Once she has a sword out, I recommend using 5P or j.P to put them out of the way and start chasing after ram during their downtime. Oh wait sorry didn't read. As for dealing with ram's j.H, you should backdash or blitz. Blocking it sucks ass because she can cancel it into that mid hitting move that has +frames. Ideally for me, I would play safe until I get opportunities like: 1) a successful flick that will forces her to do stuff 2) IBing dauro 3) a life lead so that she is forced to do high risk crap like instant airdashing, attacking before the sword summon, 5D, etc

Have majors upcoming this week and i'm still dying like a dog against our local venom which i will meet eventually in the brackets like the past 3 events. I wish fab-sama would 6K through my office door and tell me it will be daijobu. Btw, I'm being an unproductive piece of shit typing this right now while at work. Personal reminders for pot vs venom Scenario 1: venom random gatling into carcass ride I guess the best solution for this is to flick the ball then 2D. Megafisting is the desperate option because it doesnt guarantee anything on hit unless i magically have 50 tension in this matchup. I guess what I'll be doing later is set venom to do carcass then 6P at different timings. With that, I'll try different ways jumping over the ball then land with a j.H. Either double jumping to avoid 6H or doing whiff j.D, yrc, j.H which fab did once in a vid against sanma. Scenario 2: best way to oki if you have 25 tension? I just recently learned to use yrc to confirm the opponent's wakeup option. Since venom doesn't have defensive options other than backdash and blitz, I figure I should just go ham with yrc and raise my chances of getting damage done for every knockdown I score. What I'm figuring out now is what's the best option if you caught sight of a backdash. I guess i should keep a mindset of doing yrc, 5K into whatever and only react with 2C if i spotted a blitz. Though I wonder if there's practicality in trying to pot bust the short recovery of venom's backdash. will rant more later Scenario 3:

I'm an idiot for not thinking of something as simple as this, thanks for pointing it out.

https://www.facebook.com/allen.silva1/videos/10153835665987841/ This the local venom that I'm having trouble against. Here's a game of him winning against abegen. Could anyone spot any tendencies that I can use against him?

P2 92 for counter assault. Wait, what?

Very appreciated. I didn't see those P1s and P2s on the wiki.

While practicing combos with carl, I realized that these 2 produce the same damage 1) 5BB 623C 2) 5B2B6B 623C Is there a general rule in avoiding certain normals when combofilling realized only last night that 2B still causes damage reduction even if it's not a starter. So if you can help it, it's recommended to not insert A's and 2Bs in your combo?
