For clarity, this video is a meme. Potemkin-Ramlethal is, at best, a 5:5, and at worst, a 4.5:5.5 in favor of Ram. People taking this *obviously edited in favor of Ram footage* as gospel is very worrying Also, I highly appreciate the nuanced discussions that are happening in the comment section, and not the comments that are simply "it's a blowout, eat paint, nerf Ram" Please, just enjoy these glimpses of me getting bodied by my pal. I've got highlights of me doing the body-ing soon
the only thing I can think of is that you can actually flick her swords in the corner, other than that I literally can't think of anything good for pot lol
You can flick Bajoneto explosions, you can back Mega Fist in the corner to stop her pressure, you can Heat Knuckle her j.S and j.H if she mistimes her jump-ins thanks to its disjoint, to name a few Pot has options, and so does Ram. The match-up is actually pretty fun once you get into the swing of things. Turning the tables and pressuring her in a corner is pretty fun, but getting pressured in a corner yourself feels bad.
@@gerharddamm5933 yes BUT do not do this if Ram is in range to f.s you or if they’re close enough to kick you. Obviously you wouldn’t throw the flick out if she’s in your face, but I made a Pot Main learn the hard way even from a distance I can just far slash you out of your flick.
I perfected a Ramlethal the other day with Pot. That probably won't happen again. I think I momentarily transcended this plane of existence. I could see the code, dude
@@ghost1182able Oh, I got them, my dude. One on round start, one out of a dashing blue rc. I'm up to, like, 90% consistency on the kara input, which, considering that I've only been playing traditional fighting games for a few weeks, I'm pretty happy with!
As a Pot main, I use my "won against 10 Ram" badge as an intimidation technique to avoid fighting skilled Rams. As Sun Tzu once said, the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
@@Saberfanboy I think its her air slash? The one where she slashes straight forward - this is mainly a potemkin problem since hes just so damn tall so its not hard to accidentally walk or jump into it
The trick is to abuse the shield, once you get the shield up and you push her into a corner you can fuck her up... it's just that if she does the same to you... well, you know the rest.
MU even at worst. Pot has some privilege in the match up such as backward megafist being able to get by a lot of ram sword corner pressure and force ram to use the high S sword instead of the H sword. Forward megafist can jump over ram mid range game for huge reward. Hammerfall is solid for the mu, especially with rc.
As a grappler you should beat ramlethal since her entire gameplay is get enemy in corner wallbreak get enemy in corner win just grab her when she closes in you literally have every tool in yoyr set to deal with her its not like axl poking you or sol sheer forcing or giovanna ignoring your armor just do what a grappler suppısed to do
Not me losing this matchup two days ago as Ram because he kept guessing correctly on when I was going to S with mega fist to punish and armoring through anything that wasn't me using my range.
I have had zero success against Ram players as Pot. It's just my personal worst matchup, I guess. I wouldn't say that Ram is a broken character, but I will say that until I have mastered Potemkin more, I will not enjoy fighting them. Give me a Sol any day of the week.
Very difficult natch up for Potemkin, I just avoid the corners and stay center stage no matter what, don't even approach her in the corner just stay back and wait, good and experience Ram bait you by backing themselves in the corner and super jump dash over you or even fuzzy grab and switch sides. Playing neutral and pushing Pots wins condition (knockdown to guess) is the best approach in my experience. Hope this helps
It’s honestly a even matchup and capfuls snowball either way. If the ram keeps up the pressure pot can’t do much to get out or in. BUT if the ram fucks up the pressure she gets command grabbed and the tides turn immediately. Makes me want to learn ramlethal even more
It's easier with a dash macro and an RC macro. Hold a direction, then quickly press dash and RC in quick succession, but not at the same time, and you'll do it. Practice drifting Blue RC first and the rest'll come naturally
@@acquireTigris Oh okay I totally forgot about the dash button thanks! I knew the controls said double tap in a direction and Pot didn't have that. Cool off to practice
I dunno if I've been lucky, if how I play Pot is so weird, or what, but I find Ram to be the easiest to beat? And I hear everyone else has a different story? Then I get fucking BODIED by Ky, so yay?
Dude same! I armor through rams long normals with hammerfall to get in and destroy her once she's in the corner, easy. But then I run into Ky and I'm fucked lol. Don't know how to get out of the corner pressure. And his little flip kick beats out Megafist😔
You guys know you can flip the explosions of the sword back to ram when you stand right? And if a ram is jumping that much you know which buttons to use.
Flick was bugged in the ram matchup for the first 6 months of the game btw. Like just straight up didn't function except at very specific spacings. You can see it happening in this video
Nah bro just always flick the upper sword. You got unluck once and learned the wrong lesson. Also why didn't u do Pot things? One time you got a knockdown and didn't command grab. She didn't have bar for dp. She could only block or jab (she blocked). Maybe I'm wrong i got a ram friend who hates that you can flick the sword explosion, he always gets hit.
It's not that bad I just wanted to represent my dislike for the corner against Ram in an interpretative music video that's not actually interpretative but literal :^)
@@ImmaHappyPanda idk bro I can't lab for you. But like. Megafist goes over sword explosions, back megafist gets out of pressure and avoids most of her attacks in the corner, you can crouch under and poke her out of h sword throw. Gotta learn to lab to play this game
@@tongpoo8985 jump in after what, sword? If she jumps in she can't prevent you from flicking, if you flick the explosion she either gets hit or has to block, if she blocks it's your turn. Also if she jumps you can air throw her. Bro I'm telling you, just lab.
