Large vertical uppercut. very strong anti-air option which goes directly into Heat Knuckle or Heavenly Potemkin Buster. This move is highly unsafe, so only use it when you're sure it will connect.

Must be thrown out on a read due to slow start up and lack of invincibility.
Cancel window for Heat Knuckle or HPB extension is early, so have your followup in mind
Combos from c.S at close range

Special Moves

Potemkin's main command grab. Your entire gameplan revolves around getting your opponent into this. Does massive damage on hit, has good range, and can reach even farther than normal by kara cancelling 6K into it. (edit: recent loketest in arcades have removed the ability to Kara cancel Pot Buster after 6k)

Heat Knuckle

Forward 236P
Backward 214P

Potemkin leaps forward or backward with a heavy double-punch. Forward mega fist is +3 on hit and block so it can be used in rapid succession to punish mashing. Due to Potemkin leaping in the air, mega fist is able to easily avoid most enemy attacks, usually causing an easy counter-hit. The large hit box leads to most anti-air attempts trading unless timed properly with a large hitbox.

Slide Head

236S

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be blocked.	StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame.

Potemkin falls forward and creates a shockwave that hits low and grants hard knockdown.

A strong way to deal with zoning if you can react to projectile startups
Can be canceled into from 2S making it a good threat to defensive characters
Has one hit of armor

Hammer Fall

[4]6H

A deep breath in..
..and kachunk.

Hammer Fall
Break Hammer Fall > P

Potemkin lurches forward and clamps his fists together. Causes soft knockdown/instant tech on hit. HFB -> Pot Buster is a staple in Potemkin's gameplan. Practice it, live it, breathe it.

Potemkin's best forward movement option.
Can be canceled into Hammerfall break by pressing P while Potemkin is moving.
Has a single hit of armor. Will lose to any projectile with multiple hits.

The break cancel window is much larger than previous iterations, so you can be VERY liberal with your distance. Practice the timing, you don't want to whiff Hammerfall in someone's face. You've already seen the video. You already know this loses to all the 6p's.

F.D.B.

Flick
Reflected

Potemkin leans down and flicks. A key part of Potemkin's anit-zoning toolkit.

Has quite a large hitbox.
Can be held to vary timing

Beware of whiffing this special on characters with long range buttons (Axl, Ino, etc)

Potemkin leaps into the air at an angle, grabbing the opponent for MASSIVE damage.

Quick startup lets you use this to react to jump ins
Has decent priority, so it will beat many jump in options
Has it's use as a movement tool if all else fails

LEGACY PLAYERS BEWARE the hitbox for HPB has been scaled back, and will whiff on wakeup jump back if you don't delay it.

Potemkin creates a Blue shield that slowly moves across the screen.

Has infinite(?) projectile invincibility and will nullify any projectiles that come in contact with it
Invincible on startup, making it a useful reversal tool
Will stay on screen even if Potemkin is hit

Keep in mind, Giganter will NOT go full stage, so keep your screen position in mind.
