A.X.I.S.

Part 2 Slidehead this move is the dumbest most efficient looking move ever, potemkin drops his head like he love mudkips and you land on your ass like your rofl. so many ways to deal with it...its either a blocking situation which is safer for you can punish if he wants to advance or...punish him now...IAD and combo his boflex abusing ass, i found this the easiest, and bbing him the hardest because your reaction gotta be so dead set, i wasn't exactly sure when to land it and im a sol fanatic, its more like a wing and a prayer, RTing it works as well but if you do it wrong your gonna eat a pot buster..only good at medium range shamefully... there...bbing it works and if it does you get to drag him around the battlefield like a wheel barell but if you wiff prepare for pot buster its probably safest to block but i take the risk of trying to take 50% health from him if i go airborne, even that's guessing but if u fail that you can at least do br frc to get out of it....i never did the br frc but who's to say it doesn't work.

you can punish his door trick with a RT or air dash slash or dust...just be careful...i found it easier to punish then block.

behold the universal truth!

its all about distance and tension for me, if potemkin is close im better off 2ding and sw looping, if i cant afford the tension i'd just rt him, because either way i rather keep him at 5s max distance, and yeah bbing his slidehead is fun, it just doesnt work for me at close range, i rather just rt him and get some distance. so i guess i could say, to each his own. rting works better for me in the way i play this match up, but the bb idea is great too i just rarely catch him with it, hell when a slide head comes i catch myself iading and j.s>j.d>br>5k>j.s>sw...sadly i dont always CL thus the sw instead....i rather do your idea instead. thanks for the advice.

ok im in the middle of trying out you guys advice, and like kurum said earlier, millia's air game against sol is too strong, and the only combo i know that keeps me safe when its ground to ground is 5s>5h.s, it does good damage and keeps me out of her poking range, and the gv...i really dont use gv that much but in this match its a necessity, it eats her ground to ground game easily, its tricky for me to 5k her but when i do i make her pay with a br combo, it can yield out almost as much as a sw loop but i wont waste tension...im gonna keep trying tomorrow, getting sleepy.. p.s: what does DP mean..i know its noobish but, i dont get it.

yeah, i dont know if a j.p would be too effective but i guess i could try, i know one thing for sure, this girl takes riot stomps like a champ.

air attack coming for you.. D.I and VV their asses..great last second comeback.

her damage is low, but that speed makes her persistent, i cant even lock her down. the only thing i know that has some effect at keeping her still is a RT, and i cant pull that out all the time. her combo's are long and she is clever, whats the best approach to lock her down and treat her like a abused house wife that just forgot to cook dinner?

its like my new drug, if i dont go practice for 30mins to a hour i feel out of place, my daily ritual i always find a way to get my times in.

ugh this fight could be some trouble...i guess 2 cents could help... He's POTEMKIN this guy is overall trouble for any and everyone...sadly for sol he's one of the most restricting jerks, and he will butt rape you way more effectively then you can him ouch! but no fear its many things you can do to pot to make him shut up, sit down, and learn something new..here's a few things i do. spacing this is a annoying thing to do, yes staying out of potemkins face, just about every special move you do gets a penalty of potemkin sodomy, how do you avoid it? 5S! that's like good enough range, you can pretty much eat anything he wanna toss at you and if he tries something funny you can either bail or VV punish him, reaction VV's saves my ass on occasion, here's it saves you. man he's huge and stupid? you think? we all know potemkin loves to hit the floor hard for fun, lets make him eat some riot stomp, it hurts come with a CH (you can correct me if you'd like...) and lets you do all sorts of rape on him, he wants it look he's smiling? TENSION TO INFINITY!! my first priority in this fight is for that tension to spot up as fast as possible, i always like to fish for a gunflame feint when i get the chance. i like 5S>5H.S>GFF, push me back to safety, and gives me time to react if he wants a piece, do it a few times and make him say hello to a br>rc combo hell while your at it why not do a VV>rc combo...his ass is big enough. dont be stupid!! stay away from the air or don't be predictable, he has so many things he wants to do to you, its like if a stranger offers you candy don't take it, i don't care how yummy that hersey taste! he's gonna grab you, and make you go boom and if he doesn't finish the move on you then he might just have all sorts of pressure for you speaking of pressure... NO MY MANGINITYi NOO!! no shit you got into potemkin pressure, expect some big things heading your way.. (yes everything!) he's gonna go to town on you and thats something a sol player like myself has to say, potemkin is like a damn wind up toy once he starts its never stops, and the sad part, if you fall in the corner then he's gonna do terrible things including that fb pot buster...wouldnt that be a shame, so here's what i do... calm down, and think you got options, just so so few, you can VV if you see a slidehead coming and dont forget to D.A his ass if you got the tension, I.Bing him helps too, but all the best counters i figured was a VV...such a shame though...<rant=looseless? well thats all i got...hope its useful even though it might be useless, i dont get much potemkin players yet alone players at all...but i had to contribute something even if its 2% useful give it a shot? if not harrass and criticize me im learning as i go..had the game for little over a year, and after a few weeks from this site i learned alot, and thanks to you maniac mode is just easy...hope my tips help...ssj2jeff's approach helped so much.

continuing my research so far i found that D>CLSW has some interesting potential..i never experimented so much in any fighting game...and you know what, this is fun. this might work. D>CLSW>2HS>J.S>CLSW>run and J.S>CLSW>SW LOOP...it does some 144+ damage but its kinda hard for me to do at the moment, im gonna play the xbox, experiment later.

i noticed there was no VV combo's...let me guess leave it to the sol players? the only one i seen that can be easily executed i found was: VV>RC>CLSW>J.S>CLSW>J.S>CLSW>J.S>CLSW>J.S>VV. did i word it right?

i actually just tried that sidewinder lol kinda fun to use. dont think i can do it in a real fight though but im gonna try it when i get more experienced at it.

brute force is my favorite means, its just ass when he teleports and pops from behind... i found that random shuts him up like you said but he tends to clash with me on it. oh man that reminds me! my cousin is a strider to chipp person, and he can bullshit pretty good...i like the defense idea, i just gotta touch up on instant block then...thanks..im gonna try this when i train tomorrow.

ah man this fight is troubling this little bastard doesn't stay in the same place and it always seems that no matter where i run im always caught in something, if i can lock him in the corner it wouldnt be so much of a issue, but he mix ups and pops a dust or hs from the air, any advice on dealing with this guy, him and millia are my biggest issues, they dont stand still off anything.

thanks, i also find it funny that any chance he's off the ground its a easy 40-60% of his health, its just when he starts being random as hell is when its a problem.

yeah i thought faust was a pain in the ass too, but i'm pretty sure its always a means to hit him in the face. well any useful idea's? i always find it dificult when he does that annoying pogo dance.

damn that works thanks.

actually for funny purposes im learning to tk a br my mistake i get the 2 confused. trying to combo with it but as for a real fight i have yet the fortitude to do it.

what would be the best means of starting a fight with her? is it ok to make the first move against baiken? can i at least run in and fd into a vv or gv? just fishing for advice.

would a bb be worth it if you tk it then frc it, i try it on the cpu although they arent a real player it does save some tension...just curious.
