Not sure if this is known. But apparently 2K 2D into 236K will not CH pot when he is mashing throw. But instead you get grab. Nago can grab as well. Bigger thrown range I guess?#GGST_JC #GGST_PO #GGST_NA pic.twitter.com/lFoKLHRpuw— DGさん (@DG_San20) May 29, 2022
If you've played against Potemkin before, you probably have heard this move's name quite a lot
Megafisto is an overhead that is -6 on block. Don't let them get away with it and make sure to punish it when possible.

#GGST_FA #GGST_PO Faust 2S can catch back megafist in the corner at 3 distinct timings. More details in thread. First, as he starts to fall: pic.twitter.com/1zq8ML47XB— Lija Esela (@EselaLija) April 16, 2022
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.
