How to deal with Megafist 8: Testament
How to deal with Megafist 8: Testament
Some sample mix of universal and character specific answers for Potemkin's Mega Fist in Strive. Tried to vary scenarios such as range of the combo or if thrown out in neutral. As far as universal answers go, Instant Block into grab should work for everyone if he lands too close. THIS DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HIS BACKWARDS MEGA FIST, WHICH IS SAFE ON BLOCK FOR THE POTEMKIN I'm by no means good at the game, so besides optimal routes if there's anything that I've done incorrectly please let me know. IB into throw punish in corner 0:00 Demonstrating FDB works on Grave Reaper if done too late 0:12 5P punish into setup 0:19 If Reaper is meaty then it will beat wake up FDB 2P punish into setup 0:24 j.Throw counter 0:40 j.S counter into setup 0:52 j.S counter into wallbreak 0:58

IMPORTANT ADDENDUMSo it turns out it's not the flick removing the succubus, it's Testament getting hit. It seems like charged Grave Reaper is safe from flick, and the succubus will come out provided that the Testament actually blocks.#GGST_PO pic.twitter.com/zWlLJ8zTwM— Frankentank (@Frankentank9) March 28, 2022

However, from preliminary testing, it seems like uncharged Grave Reaper always results in Test getting hit.Needs more testing I think.#GGST_PO pic.twitter.com/xnFbdxWMFL— Frankentank (@Frankentank9) March 28, 2022
