  • The Kara Cancel technique is one that has existed in many fighting games over the years, although specifically in Guilty Gear Strive it is baked into part of Potemkins moveset, giving him the option to move forward during all of his moves, so lets talk about it!

    So Potemkin and Kara cancels, its pretty important! Yeah there is the one mission mode that shows you the kara grab but it doesn't explain the hows/whys of it, and it certainly doesn't explain the true potential of everything and that is what this video is about! Once you learn this technique your Potemkin will be sliding across the screen in no time!

    Here's some forbidden Potemkin tech.
    Naming yourself along the lines of "Don't Jump" allows you to roundstart Heatknuckle your opponent. After that it lets you roundstart kara Potbuster. Warning, this may cause a disconnect from your opponent if they play Chipp.

    FOR ANYONE THAT FINdS THIS INPUT IMPOSSIBE: Literally thought this was impossible, but I found this technique has worked for me:
    ------- start by repeating the normal Buster Command but hit Kick/Punch at the same time. (the normal buster will come out)
    --------Keep repeating this motion a few times in a row to get the feel for it, hitting both buttons.
    --------Now after a few motions, change it to the normal input K>P.
    I found this actually helped me get this move off. Very difficult to do but practice makes perfect.

    I play Strive very casually; I only do private matches with my brother who is very into fighters and some friends who share the casual entry-level enthusiasm I have. Strive was the first fighting game I bought on release because I was so excited for it. I was looking at Potemkin fights during the beta and I was SO hyped for him. Big beef gorilla playstyle is ingrained, and I've got a few combos down on him, and my Anti-Air play is decent. But until this video, landing the Buster has always been an "if i can do it" initiative. I know it's supposed to be the big draw, the GAME PLAN for any Potemkin, but it was fun just slapping people with 2S 2HS beeg combo.
    But now I have new resolve. I know now that the busta is all we live for. I gotta get on my grind to BUST because it has been prophesized to me that in this world, you're the buster or the busted.

  • @dangtiendung4766
    @dangtiendung4766 Před 3 lety

    You can input forward forward in purple rc so after megafist, C.S in to Garuda, you don’t have to kara cancel pot buster. Which is way easier, what i usually do is hold forward during megafist, hit confirm and just tap and hold forward again in purple rc.

    • @rooflemonger
      @rooflemonger  Před 3 lety

      No you def have to kara a bunch of times after gunshot in many scenarios for the grab to connect. The example in this video uses a forward moving drift purple RC and without the kara grab it would have whiffed.
