Axl vs Potemkin

This interaction was rather strange... #ggst_ax pic.twitter.com/BvqHVTJ1Ux— Fender 🇺🇦 (@ihortjom) January 11, 2022

Quick Axl vs Pot MU tip, buffer j.HS when doing j.S to hit the Hammerfall armor and punish after landing #GGST #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/XiVOAsJQyH— Narath (@Narath_FGC) August 9, 2021

c.s f.s 5h is good when the potemkin likes to reversal megafist #GGST_AX #PS5Share, #GuiltyGearStrive pic.twitter.com/8kOvdCgPcc— Justin (@TheKingJus25) July 18, 2021

Stolen from XYZZY, j.s, j.h is a really strong sequence in neutral for Axl vs Potemkin. This is a good way to check hammerfalls with j.s getting armoured and j.h hitting Pot out of hammerfall. Also keeps you safe from slideheads. #GGST_AX #GGST_PO pic.twitter.com/2aFdOghKAY— Afro Viking (@AfroViking2607) June 26, 2021

Ok all you gotta do is delay your j.S and Axl is fine. You're sacrificing very little range to eliminate the risk of Heat Knuckle completely. pic.twitter.com/JBEyxwUYfx— Qiom ver.1.22474487139 (@FGC_Qiom) June 21, 2021

Axl can punish Pot's raw activation from full/mid screen by using Winter Mantis on reaction.If you try to RC after it, sometimes you get hit by the super. lol#GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/oejDGFuDnr— Mixbox | Applay (@fgcApplay) June 23, 2021

Axel can punish Hammerfall with st.K He also can shut down Potemkin with j.S and his charge fireball.6P (f+P) is an AMAZING tool to shut down most of Axel's air normals - They clash or outright beat it.63214+slash counters his fireball, sends it back at him. #GGST_PO— James Alderson (@Reiki_Kito) June 13, 2021

NuttaconToday at 1:13 PM i was watching james chen trying to figure out the potemkin VS axl matchup yesterday, and one problem he had was rensen would blow up hammerfall because hammerfall can only absorb 1 hit, but rensen hits multiple times. i guess first of all, does anyone know off-hand how many hits rensen is? also general rensen question - is it still technically a projectile like it was in Xrd? FuryfireToday at 2:22 PM It breaks projectiles except Leo's I believe I want to test it against Gio's Spiral Arrow because I think that acts like Leo's But wish to validate it cocojam™™Today at 2:45 PM Rensen is historically always 3 hits, dunno about strive and I'm sure it's still a projectile _MehToday at 7:10 PM i think i saw a pot flicked it back on topic of pot, now that rensen is no longer a midscreen tool and hammerfall looks like its been buffed i think the matchup got way harder saw the two korean axls got wiped by pots LukeToday at 7:16 PM why would rensen not work midscreen? is it way more minus? or are you talking about the rensen8 vacuum effect _MehToday at 7:30 PM slower startup and longer active because it goes all the way to fullscreen DerrekToday at 7:31 PM Probably still okay mid screen vs pot, just have to read or react to hammerfall right It'll take getting used to I think keeping people out is universally harder now though Not having to fd to block his AAs is pretty big _MehToday at 7:34 PM on the previous beta i think its fine, if not a bit easier snail and air snail is godlike rensen explosion chip damage helps offset the damage lost LukeToday at 7:36 PM Reacting to hammer fall has never been easy to me either way. I'm more worried about his jH being massive and jumping being good from the looks of it DerrekToday at 7:37 PM Yeah I'd say pot seems less helpless in this matchup and I'm alright with that LukeToday at 7:38 PM I don't know how it went in xrd since I didn't play axl then, but in +R he isn't helpless and I have to actually zone most of the time haha I really don't like that matchup cocojam™™Today at 7:57 PM axls only option against pot in xrd is iad j.s :PepeLaugh: LazyToday at 9:24 PM Pot wasn't really helpless vs. Axl in Xrd, it can just be hard to play at first In +R I've heard the MU being either even or Pot-favored lol As far as Xrd goes Pot has way worse matchups than Axl
