Gentleman, how do we fix potemkin?

Gentleman, how do we fix potemkin?

also, GG xrd rev2 thread.

No idea what the fuck this game is, but I did see Battleship Potemkin. My advice is when presented the choice between stairs and an elevator, take the elevator.

It would be really difficult to make a balanced potemkin, he's either going to be too good or crappy

i'm sure a middle ground could be found.

i'm just glad he's not waldstein

fuck that character

One, Potemkin needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Potemkin's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Potemkin"?

>empty assault command grabs you

>buff pot at all
>FAB wins every tournament ever in japan and everyone is mad
we have to keep him where he is because of this one overpowered player

Well, he's the archetype of a grappling character which implies that he's supposed to have certain strength and certain weaknesses (mostly do serious damage, be slow, etc..), but the question is how strong do we make his strengths and how bad do we make his weaknesses.

>tfw when FAB wasn't at EVO

I need my daily dose of Potemnkin.

>everyone is mad
he's one of, if not the most popular player, who would get mad? salty raven mains?

Guys

Guys


I have a main crisis. Played leo and kum alot, leo seems cheap in starter level and kum is too challenging for me. What's the golden balance?

>liking a character but think he's too challenging
that's when you know you've found your main, get good

Sol

I'd say stick to Leo as your main and sub Kum until your confident enough with him to use him as your main.

Play whoever you enjoy most, I've heard that Leo is kind of bad for learning how to play tho, since he kind of lets you get away with a lot of bullshit on lower level games.

He doesn't need fixing. Japan has a couple of Pots that regularly make Top 8. It's not that he's awful, it's just that more people need to take notes.

Leo is your typical nobrain unga scrub killer but he has a really hard time against someone who knows what they're doing. Kum ..... well i don't see a lot of kums, but it's mostly balls oki, his inputs are a bit weird though.

so far his "strenghts" don't really pay up for his weakness nor for the fact he lost his vacuum property, his overhead and he doesn't gain meter by walking forward,just by using hammer fal which fucks him up in using meter that he desperately needs.. They even nerffed him a bit by making his dp motion grab blow up opponents further so following up with a combo in the air is harder now.

It also doesn't really matter if his normals hit like a train since every character does more damage than him after a single confirm, they are also much saffer than pot in most cases

>mfw Hase wasn't at EVO

Where my Slayer niggas at?

just play ky, soul, sin or johnny,they are much easier and better.

What do you think arc should do with pot then ?

Japanese players get mad in different ways. The most they'll do is act like you don't exist.

add swastikas

They should let me play as his boss.

This. Put that training mode time in while playing the game as Leo until you feel ready to main Kum.

Sol

Yeah working on it. Apparently not with this attitude.
Thanks for the input guys, trying to make something out of this. Maybe I'll try to learn the ropes with Ky or Sol and move on to "more advanced" characters. Still messing with combo tutorials

Some of these, but not all, might be enough:

Let him get meter by walking again.
Give his vacum property back on 2S again
Increase range for close Slash
Improve the start up of some of his other normals since Roman Cancels can fuck you your pokes up
Let his s.P hit ground targets or make s.K as fast as s.p

i hope they add him together with that guy who talked to venom

Nah, that guy was just some pussy, I think there are better choices for new characters than him. He looked kind of cool, but he's pretty low on the list of characters I'd like to see added.

post best girl :)

Nah seriously, fuck that bitch, her shotgun and strawberries

You already did

...

Can I get some Jack-O' tips please

Cute armpits!

this isn't baiken

Is I-No good for a beginner?

Go back to rage quitting on stream Elpheltfag

this really helps me "jack o"

start by fixing that complete dog shit weebu pig disgusting design.

he does get meter by walking

There are better choices, but she's been simplified a lot over time so she's not such a bad option right now.

Potemkin has never looked better than he does in Xrd. The only shitty part of his design are his dumb looking feet.

we will probably get 2 or 4 characters on the new update, robo ky is pretty much confirmed but the rest is still a mystery.

Make the buster do even more damage and give flick even more range

...

...

>he does get meter by walking
if so i really haven't noticed.

gonna turn my ps4 on real quick.

I imagine it'll just be two, those two being Robo-Ky, Zappa or The Universal Will.

muhhhhhh dick

Always DI, you hear me.... ALWAYS, the music is just too good

I don't get it, Elphelt is blatant waifubait. Why would you want something too easy?

you'll learn when you turn 13

Well, i'll be dammed, he does get meter by walking. i guess i never noticed because i was either dashing or attacking. however after i lend an attack or a grad and walk after his meter stop increasing for a Little while.

Besides the meter i still stand for everything i said.

Make f.S level 3 instead of 2, reintroduce old 6K overhead as 6S, reduce Hammerfall Break recovery by 2f (makes 5HS > HFB 0f on IB).

This is enough.

Guys,what are your worst matchups ?

There should be an option to remove his helmet at least

You can only see surface deep, like most people who bitch about "waifubait" and "generic anime X".

Elphelt is actually one of the more interesting characters in the cast who had a pretty big development arc. She and Ram discovered their humanity and found a warm family with Sin, Ky and Dizzy, which was the cutest shit.

>tfw missed I-No's birthday because I was busy wageslaving
I'm sorry...

I hate fighting Axl so much
This, I want to see my boys beautiful face

I hate I-no. I also hate raven, but I imagine that's universal.

Pretty much every character that ain't Slayer or Jam.

The worst ones are Sin,Johnny, leo and answer , especially Sin. I much rather fight actual zoners than him.

But honestly i'm almost giving up on the game entirely.

>Don't know what to do during most match ups and pretty much loose 29 out of 30 matches i play
>Decide to seek out advice in every place i could find, varying from here to discords and you tube matchup videos
>Next matches i don't even try to win, i simply try to punish whatever safe move they do with every button i know just to test it out
>Nothing fucking works, might be the timing together with whatever button i pressed combined with whatever delay there was.
>Don't know what to do again.
>I lost so much people already know my name and either avoid playing with me for long or handicap themselves on purpose so the matches can be longer.

I don't feel like playing any other character so i might just give up.

>new to the game
>play against a guy that's pretty decent with Kum
>it's either a wall bounce fest or a "stuck in the corner because of this fucking ball" match
I somehow manage to run into every single one of his kicks, even when he's been charging it for a while, I hope I manage to stop being such a fuckup at some point, I want to give this guy a good match since he's pretty nice and we play every once in a while, but my god am I fucking terrible at this game.

>Nage always makes it high up the ladder but never wins.

...

he can be fixed by being removed from the game already

So is the game actaully alive or what?

I bought rev 2 when it came out and spent my time trying to find a main and after i finished the game is barely active, and everytime when I'm told it's active I go to check and it isn't.

What the fuck.

What platform are you on?

where do you live? you are using the "Search for Lobbies" option right?

I feel the same way with zato desu, tons of work just to lose to baby characters like Jack-O

PS4

You mean it's active in like rooms? I've been going to the main lobby.

myself because I get tilted easily

I can easily get a game on PS4 in Europe. Pick the option that says play with your friends, not the world lobby.

not the same guy but when going online use the far right option, i think it is to play with friends.
Search for a lobby and you will probably find some of your region. even in my third world shithole i can find matches.

I hope Daisuke pulls another left field inclusion like putting Jam in before Dizzy or Baiken.
I just need ABA back already.

It's simple, just murder people in one combo
They can't get you stuck in the corner if THEY'RE DEAD

>Playing grapplers in an anime fighter

Just let him combo from slidehead again. It was completely retarded before and will be again.

that has to do with tension pulse and everyone has that

Not even the worst character in the game by a country mile. At least he can still play like Potemkin.

Give him a DP.

that was at least 2 combos before he was able to take that much of life.

Ky and anyone who plays him can fuck right off

But I play Ky.

Fix Slayer pls. I miss AC Slayer

We'll never be friends

Slayer is fine as he is, get good

You'll always be a friend to me.

>playing grapplers

>playing

Her sister is better. Also much more likely to win the Sin bowl.

Someone tell me how to play Answer.

>Defeated soundly in the Sol and Sinbowl.
Will boob bunny ever recover?

Potemkins changes in xrd is why I'll never play it.

>dizzy players
>blockstring into sweep
>2p 2p 2p 2p
>grab
>back IAD summon summon

so much fu-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Give him a better command throw animation.

>ky and slayer are married, axl has a gf, may would try and kill elphelt
>venom's gay, zato is gay for millia, and bedman is dead
>raven, faust, answer, and chipp have no time for whores
>only potential marriage candidates are fucking leo and pot

Bring everyone down by adding Testament

Who is the easiest waifu to play?
