Here is Potemkin combo #3 I put together during my time with Guilty Gear Strive Beta. It seems as though the combo system has changed again sincde the last beta.
Potemkin Corner Air-to-Air Confirm Meterless Combo into Meaty Setup
An air-to-air confirm to use if your opponent tries to jump out of your tick throw setup. With the trajectory of Potemkin's j.K knockback, we can convert a stray hit into a full combo in the corner. Note that the second j.K can be input earlier than you would think.

A cool thing about how far and how long Gaiganter Kai last is that the threat of it should not end if someone jumps past it. You can still hit them into it or even Burst them into it. It's pretty swell and neat. #GGST_PO pic.twitter.com/KVUjKPPG8U— Help (@SsbmHelp) May 16, 2021
I think this is the most I can get off uncharged 5D w PRC and 50 tension! Not bad https://t.co/H58qmvqg0b pic.twitter.com/q1Y1Wmsrfz— Native 🇵🇷 (@nativeMegaTen) May 16, 2021

List of Pot Changes I've found and seen compared to OBT1
Buffs:
- Damage increases to normal throw, HPB, and Garuda Impact
- 6K keeps the opponent standing on hit (combos into Hammer Fall on hit and Garuda Impact on CH)
- 6P is bigger and more disjointed
Mixed:
- 6K has slower startup, but can now frame trap jump out and slower buttons with no delay off of c.S
Nerfs:
- Damage nerfs to Mega Fist, FDB, and Hammer Fall
- FDB startup increased from 19f to 22f (no longer frame traps fast normals off of 6K)
- Mega Fist Forward is now punishable on block and -3 on hit
- Mega Fist loops are available in fewer situations due to either pushback changes on Mega Fist or decreased range on 2S
- Hammer Fall is now -9 on block and has less pushback
- Hammer Fall armor now starts on frame 9 (previously frame 5)
- 6P has more recovery so it doesn't combo without RC, even on an airborne CH
- 5P/2P can't rapid cancel on whiff and have smaller hitboxes
- 2P is slower and less advantageous on hit or block
- HPB has a smaller hitbox
- Garuda Impact wallbounce doesn't lead to combo extensions anymore except OTGs
- Potemkin Buster throws the opponent further away
Unsure:
- Potemkin Buster has more base reach but less reach with Kara Buster (hard to test without the older version to compare and is more of a feeling than concrete info)
- Guaranteed PB after blocked Heat Knuckle possibly works in more situations (same as above)(edited)

Potemkin Counter-Hit 2H Meterless Combo into Meaty Setup
With the slightly improved speed of Hammerfall Break, we can now Break twice in a combo and connect with a 5K to cause a pop up tumble and follow up with a Megafist. The opponent needs to be decently close to you when you connect with the 2H in order for the second Break and 5K to work. If you think the opponent may be too far away for the second Break, just go for Heat Knuckle or Megafist after the second 2H.

Since Heat Knuckle is blockable now, we will need to use the regular air grab in order to punish people jumping away. It's a bit less risky of an option as you don't have to use the meter until you've confirmed the air grab, but if you are going for the hard call out then you can use Heavenly Potemkin Buster and you're a god.

Here are the best combos I could find during the 3rd Beta Test (2nd Open Beta) in which Potemkin received some very harsh balance changes.
