I finally played a good I-no today. I went 0-5. F U C K that match up to Sunday and back. He was so good at mixing up his Oki on my wake up. Will he hit twice high then low, once high then low, fake out the high altogether and go straight for a low... and what's worse is if I guessed right to then block the combo block string, he would sometimes stop the combo string after 1-2 hits after the low and airdash in again for a new guessing game. It all happens so damn fast too that your reactions need to be so damn on point. He completely didn't respect any of my tools either, so it wasn't like a Fab vs I-No where they have a sense of fear instilled into them on what he could potentially do. This dude just ran train on me. Could not even take a round off him.

Thanks for this video. I'm definitely not seeing much that suggest otherwise that the match up is definitely in Axl's favor by a big margin lol.

I hope this is fixed soon. I tried a few times tonight, and nothing. I was able to play other games online on my PS4 fine, but my go to game has been guilty gear since it released. I need Xrd to hold me over till some Bloodborne and Mortal Kombat X.

Ah so others are getting a slew of errors too. Such a bummer! I had buddies online who got on no problem and are playing each other in a private lobby. I can't get past the connecting screen due to NP error.

Has anyone gotten this before on their PS4? I researched it online and while others have had it or have it... there is no way to fix it. I have tried: Resetting my router to factory settings I have tried uninstalling the game I have tried resetting the ps4 I have tried connecting online via wi-fi and lan The strange thing is the internet connection in the house for all other devices is fine. I am on my Chromebook, the upstairs desktop is doing fine, my phone has wi-fi access, and on my PS4 I can explore the PS store and talk to friends in chat parties. It seems to have singled out just Guilty Gear to not function, and I have exhausted everything I can do to fix it. Anyone?

You're the man Tong! :D

I played a good Axl today. I finally hit 15 on ranked, and so now the "killers" come out to play. A level 17 Axl is no joke... That match up is just rough all around. Is it supposed to be a 5-5 match up? It feels like 7-3 in Axl's favor. Is there any good Fab videos versus great Axl players? I'd like to see what he does.

Maybe I haven't played a good enough I-No or Sin player. Millia I agree with...I have played a few demolishers whom once I got knocked down made sure I never got a chance to do anything again. I could say Elph is hard...but really the whole cast has a hard time dealing with her due to how strong she is. Ram? No way. If you know how to block the over head string then a good chunk of her stuff is just hammerable through. Makes the neutral game in favor of Potemkin imo.

What is Potemkin's worst match up? I feel like it's Sol. Great and terrible Sol players alike just completely destroy me. :/

Nerfs to Pot? Really? You have to be a character loyalist to make any splashes with him... I hope it's not final, because I could see myself jumping over to someone else. If he had ZERO changes I'd keep playing. Keep the buffs and keep the nerfs, and I'll keep rocking him as is please.

I really don't see any of these buffs as game changes in anyway. I would've liked to see Trishua be better over all if they want us to use it...like a suck in ability when used so you could combo into it, and YRC out of it in say the corner for some heat extend combos. Really though what Pot needs is a scarier Oki game, and an increased walk speed. Oki game wise it'd be nice if you could threaten people with a 2P or 5K, and go into a back breaker command throw, or a better window to just do a whiff normal on their wake up into back breaker. Currently opponents have more than enough time to avoid these tick throw set ups, or they just completely whiff. :/ I don't know much else he actually needs. If he had those he'd move up a tier easily.

Could someone edit this for an avatar for me? http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs11/i/2006/179/3/9/Potemkin_by_Irving_Zero_colorz_by_stfun.jpg

Ones available for purchase right now? None. Most are out of stock. You're SoL unless you want to pay 50+ more on Ebay for a Tournament Edition 2 from MadCatz.

Tie for me between Faust and Potemkin. I don't play grapplers, but Potemkin has a satisfying tool set that reminds me of Urien from SF3 for some reason. Faust is just one of a kind, and I love troll characters.

People really think Potemkin is bottom tier? I have a 75% win ratio with him that I'm fairly proud of compared to trying almost everyone else in the cast and barely holding a 50% win ratio with them. Maybe he just gels with me since he reminds me of a Urien style of character.

I hate the Axl and the Leo match up. Both are very different. Axl I can't get started on. Leo I feel like I can block forever if I want but I can't strike back...there's no damn holes :/

Thanks for the info gang. Reading up on the major conversation going on in here with 6K into Hammerfall---is this an actual combo? I've tried to input hammerfall right after a 6K but they never connect. Instead I will cancel my 6K into booger fling.

Does anyone here know two things: 1) Common/good spots to do SPDs? I know a YRC hammerfall when the opponent is in the corner is a good way to set one up. 2) What is some common mix ups to use after a knock down on an opponent you are having success with?

Also, I'm always up for hopping online and being a sparring partner. Keep in mind there will be a big skill gap when we start, but I can try to pick whatever character you are using too and showcase what I would do playing them. (Except Potemkin....I'm too bad with him) PSN: OutlawOcelot

I've tried so many different characters in this game, but I've hit a brick wall with most that I like. I don't want to use the "the pad is why I'm limited" excuse, but I spent all of my times on fighters the last 5+ years on an arcade stick and being back to the controller is killing me. If the character has a shoryu motion attack then I automatically cannot play them. :/ I can do shoryu sometimes on pad on one side of the screen, but then it's game over for me on the reverse. The same goes with doing supers. No matter how much time I practice pad execution it just is not good. Arcade stick though? No problem. SF4 hit 1 frame link FADC combos, can play Ibuki, C. Viper, etc without problems. I can hit probably 100/100 shoryu's either side, but until stock becomes available online I'm screwed on PS4. (360 stick broke so no modding for me either) --------- With this said there is a few characters I can somewhat play. Faust, Slayer, and Chipp. Faust is the one I'm calling my "main," but if I had a stick I'd probably play as Chipp. Faust online is simple enough, but I suck at keeping the neutral game with him. I'll get into a corner, and all the defense in the world can't help me escape. Finding those "holes" is super hard in this game imo to exploit to get a counter/knock down. Teleport is too slow on start up to get out, and it's easy to punish him if he ever uses it and doesn't have RC ready to rock. I know that feel though OP. Keep grinding. I think I spent about 3+ months of 3+ hours of play before my execution was no longer the reason I was losing in SF4.
