But doesn't ICPMing after a slidehead get you in with frame advantage anyway?

Damn.... looks like he struck a nerve there.

Hey so I was wondering, what are potemkins oki options after a 2d? Whenever I try to go for a j.hs into some kind of mix-up my friend just backdashes on wake-up and avoids it all. Also, is there any place I can go that just goes over basics with him? I'm really enjoying playing him but I feel like I'm missing out(or just misusing) on a lot of his tools.

Damn, dude looked like he'd been playing her his whole life. Looks like the pistol move is duckable, it looked like it whiffed on a dashing sol.

Yea she looks pretty cool. Can't wait for a gameplay breakdown in english, but more so than that I can't wait to see high level play featuring her so we can get an idea how some of these tools would play out in a real match.

I'm planning on maining Potemkin, and judging from what I've been hearing that's going to be an exercise in character loyalty. So since I'm planning on subbing her I'd rather if she wasn't bottom tier as well. Mind you, I have the worst luck when it comes to choosing mains. I think my 3 mains in Blazblue CT were Tager, Bang and Hakumen and they ended up being the bottom 3 characters in that version.

*sigh*, least it's a free get in I guess, better than nothing. Thanks though.

When you say OTG damage, how does it defer from regular damage?

FAB playing some nice sets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tat28-oAna4 it starts off a little slow but he puts together some nice wins later on the video.

So she'll be playable starting tomorrow, so I guess we should start expecting gameplay footage soon. http://shoryuken.com/2014/04/06/ramlethal-valentine-playable-in-guilty-gear-xrd-sign-starting-april-8/

Thanks overall for the list, definitely helps.

Time stamp is 7:27 for anyone in a hurry. Nice to see it finding some use, maybe it'll prove better than we thought in the long run.

So I know this has been discussed to death, but I literally started playing the game seriously yesterday(#R not Xrd). So now that I have a better understanding of how potemkin works, I'm curious if I can find a place that lists all the things they took away in this game. I know his pb does less damage and can't be followed up in the corner and his 2s doesn't vacuum anymore but what other changes has he under gone? Does his j.s still ground bounce on counter hit? Is his forward jab still a good AA? I apologize for being late to the party it's just when the discussions had been happening over the past few months I had no idea what they meant(still don't for the most part). Now I'm just trying to get an idea of the character ill be playing come stateside release.

Definitely with you on that, they would be smart to take their time patching this game. Nothing kills a games vibe more than too many patches.

So is this the life of potemkin players? I've been watching some gameplay in xrd and he tends to spend a lot of the match blocking, I was hoping this might have been because people were just getting used to him but reading your post makes me feel otherwise. So is that how it always is with pot?

I'm speaking in general(since I don't know shit about GG) but I don't think it matters how much practice a character takes, if they're substantially better than the rest of the cast they deserve to be called cheap imo. I mean marvel 2 sentinel was one of the more difficult characters to play effectively, but no one in their right mind will tell you that hommie wasn't cheap, he made half the cast irrelevant. I do think people are too quick to throw out the cheap label on a character but that's another discussion.

I don't think people have really changed, it's just that now people have a place to complain when they suck at a game unlike before. On a separate note, anyone know when the next update is? I wanna see some valentine gameplay.

I'm curious(this is a question, not answering your post), are there any zoners in the current cast? I mean I see characters that look like they can zone(eddie, I guess faust) but no straight up v-13, dhalsim type character. Of course, I'm completely new to this franchise so I might just not know, but maybe that's what he's referring to. It looks like a roster of RTSD pretty much. Then again, I guess GG was never designed for that type of play what with negative penalty and shit.

*sigh* I guess that's just the life of a grappler. Oh well, s'long as it isn't tager vs v-13 levels of bad I won't mind. Otherwise i'll just have to learn a sub(i'll probably learn a sub either way tbh).

lol, is this eddie match-up really that bad? I just keep hearing potemkin players always bringing it up. Sounds like one of those historically bad match-ups ala sagat and zangief.

I can't lie, if by the time it comes stateside it turns out he's actually low tier ill be VERY disappointed. I'm used to playing low tier, for Gods sake I play grapplers. But potemkin was always the one I couldn't wait to play because he was one of the better designed grapplers. Needless to say if the first GG I play seriously features the worst version of potemkin ill be more than a little heart broken. Oh well, only time will tell.

Hey I never said they were good at balancing. Seriously though I feel tager was built on a shaky foundation which led to him perpetually being bad(although I stopped following after CS so that might have changed). Potemkin on the other hand has a history of actually being good so I have faith given time they'll get it somewhat right.

I wouldn't worry too much, arcsys love balancing their titles. I have little doubt that this won't be the game that we'll be playing whenever it comes stateside. Of course, if you're in japan right now then it sucks to be you.

Yea I was just coming to post that. Glad to see potemin kicking some ass, the first batch of videos we got mostly featured him getting bodied.

So I'm new to GG competitively, so I apologize if I get hype over some shit that's real old school. With that said, I love how FAB dashes in behind the projectile nullifying thingamabob in this video. It also features 15 minutes of potemkin vs faust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-quKSE6zeEc
