Potemkin's basic combos are relatively simple with the intent of converting stray hits into a hard knockdown (e.g. {{clr|5|2D}}, {{clr|1|Forward Mega Fist}}, '''CH''' {{clr|1|6P}}, Throw) and following up with either a meaty {{clr|3|c.S}} or {{clr|4|Garuda}} okizeme. However, the bulk of Potemkin's damage will inevitably come from {{clr|1|Potemkin Buster}} as well as {{clr|4|Garuda}} chip damage and {{clr|5|2D}} post-{{clr|4|Garuda}} okizeme to rinse and repeat the okizeme situation.

In the midscreen, {{clr|2|2K}} and {{clr|2|5K}} can be comboed into {{clr|5|2D}} to set up easy, but powerful okizeme for Potemkin by utilizing {{clr|4|Hammer Fall Break}} to approach. With a {{clr|3|c.S}} starter, it may be tempting to route into {{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|4|2H}} and end it with {{clr|4|Heat Knuckle}}, but it is usually better to end in {{clr|1|Forward Mega Fist}} to set up okizeme unless {{clr|4|Heat Knuckle}} will break the wall. Even then, some Potemkin players will prefer to take the okizeme over a wallbreak and [[GGST/Gauges#Positive Bonus|Positive Bonus]].

The knockdown from {{clr|4|Heat Knuckle}} is too short to get any okizeme from, even with a fullscreen {{clr|4|Hammer Fall Break}}. {{clr|1|Forward Mega Fist}} on the other hand leads to at least a meaty {{clr|3|c.S}}, and sometimes {{clr|4|Garuda}} okizeme depending on the combo. Despite {{clr|4|Heat Knuckle}} breaking wall instantly, some Potemkin players will prefer to take the okizeme over a wallbreak and [[GGST/Gauges#Positive Bonus|Positive Bonus]].


The main filler in Potemkin's most damaging combos is {{clr|1|kBMF}}, also known as {{clr|1|kara-cancelled Back Mega Fist}} ({{clr|1|214}}{{clr|2|6K}}~{{clr|1|P}}). It has the unique property of being the only special move in the game with different properties on kara-cancel, changing it from +4 to -2 on block, and adding an additional 15 damage. It also ground bounces the opponent, allowing for extended combos such as {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops both midscreen and especially in the corner.

In midscreen, {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}} is used because of {{clr|3|c.S}} sending opponents too far to loop another {{clr|1|kBMF}}. In the corner, it depends on the starter, but {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops are more damaging. However, certain combos will require {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops due to gravity.


Generally speaking, it is difficult to convert into {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops meterlessly midscreen without some situation such as a counter-hit {{clr|4|2H}} for instance. That being said, starters like '''CH''' {{clr|4|5H}} > {{clr|4|Hammerfall}} can be [[GGST/Movement#Roman_Cancels|Fast Forward Dash Roman Cancelled]] (66FRC) into {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops ({{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}} > microwalk > {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}}) for corner carry and wall break ({{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|1|Forward Mega Fist}}) from round start distance. In some midscreen {{clr|1|kBMF}} loops, the first {{clr|2|5K}} is omitted, such as {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|1|Forward Mega Fist}} ▷ 66PRC > {{clr|1|kBMF}} > microwalk > {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|kBMF}}.

Beginner Potemkin players should not worry about {{clr|1|kBMF}} confirms or loops at all. {{clr|1|kBMF}}s are a valuable tool for intermediate and advanced Potemkin players who have the execution to perform these loops; Potemkin as a character already outputs very high damage with basic confirms into solid okizeme setups with the {{clr|3|c.S}} strike/throw mix and {{clr|4|Garuda}} oki. {{clr|1|kBMF}}s are not necessary to perform well as Potemkin at high levels of play, but are capable of turning a basic punish into a devastating one.

Combo Theory

Potemkin's basic combos are relatively simple with the intent of converting stray hits into a hard knockdown (e.g. 2D, Forward Mega Fist, CH 6P, Throw) and following up with either a meaty c.S or Garuda okizeme. However, the bulk of Potemkin's damage will inevitably come from Potemkin Buster as well as Garuda chip damage and 2D post-Garuda okizeme to rinse and repeat the okizeme situation.

In the midscreen, 2K and 5K can be comboed into 2D to set up easy, but powerful okizeme for Potemkin by utilizing Hammer Fall Break to approach. With a c.S starter, it may be tempting to route into 2S > 2H and end it with Heat Knuckle, but it is usually better to end in Forward Mega Fist to set up okizeme unless Heat Knuckle will break the wall. The knockdown from Heat Knuckle is too short to get any okizeme from, even with a fullscreen Hammer Fall Break. Forward Mega Fist on the other hand leads to at least a meaty c.S, and sometimes Garuda okizeme depending on the combo. Despite Heat Knuckle breaking wall instantly, some Potemkin players will prefer to take the okizeme over a wallbreak and Positive Bonus.

The main filler in Potemkin's most damaging combos is kBMF, also known as kara-cancelled Back Mega Fist (2146K~P). It has the unique property of being the only special move in the game with different properties on kara-cancel, changing it from +4 to -2 on block, and adding an additional 15 damage. It also ground bounces the opponent, allowing for extended combos such as kBMF loops both midscreen and especially in the corner. kBMF loops refer to linking kBMF off of either c.S or 5K to get extended combos. In midscreen, 5K > kBMF is used because of c.S sending opponents too far to loop another kBMF. In the corner, it depends on the starter, but c.S > kBMF loops are more damaging. However, certain combos will require 5K > kBMF loops due to gravity.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to convert into kBMF loops meterlessly midscreen without some situation such as a counter-hit 2H for instance. That being said, starters like CH 5H > Hammerfall can be Fast Forward Dash Roman Cancelled (66FRC) into kBMF loops (5K > kBMF > microwalk > 5K > kBMF) for corner carry and wall break (2S > Forward Mega Fist) from round start distance. In some midscreen kBMF loops, the first 5K is omitted, such as c.S > 2H > Forward Mega Fist ▷ 66PRC > kBMF > microwalk > 5K > kBMF.

However, in the corner, any hit that leaves the opponent high enough (e.g. 2H) for at least a 5K, but ideally c.S, to not OTG can usually be converted into kBMF loops. A counter-hit 6H can also be converted meterlessly into kBMF loops by using a kBMF to pick up in the corner. With 50 Tension, the corner is Potemkin's oyster. Any stray hit, such as 5D, 2D, Forward Mega Fist, etc., and even normal throw and Potemkin Buster can be confirmed into two kBMF loops if not three, resulting in a 2H wallsplat and Heat Knuckle ender. If going for two kBMF loops, then 5K > 6H wallsplat leaves opponents at the ideal height for Heat Knuckle to break the wall. Another way to route into metered kBMF loops in the corner is by using the Guard Crush of a meaty Garuda and performing a Dash Blue Roman Cancel (66BRC). Potemkin can route into kBMF loops off 2D using the BRC slowdown for roughly 300 damage, and the 5D option is very punishing too. Potemkin Buster still remains a powerful mix tool for opponents attempting to spot the high/low strike option in this mixup scenario.

Beginner Potemkin players should not worry about kBMF confirms or loops at all. kBMFs are a valuable tool for intermediate and advanced Potemkin players who have the execution to perform these loops; Potemkin as a character already outputs very high damage with basic confirms into solid okizeme setups with the c.S strike/throw mix and Garuda oki. kBMFs are not necessary to perform well as Potemkin at high levels of play, but are capable of turning a basic punish into a devastating one.
