The Quest to Get First as The Worst Character 

In his streams, he would often talk bad about GG in general "except Pot", and that he would not touch the game after Street Fighter 6 comes out. I think that is pretty much what happened. I haven't seen him play pot since. Sad for us Pot mains.

I mean, Snake Eyes is not just highest rated Potemkin player. He's a grappler monster. Does anyone remember his SF4 5vs5 team battle? You know, when he SOLO'ED the entire enemy team? As Zangief? Dude is a certified badass. If there's anyone who can make Potemkin look like an absolute beast, it has to be Snake

As a non Strive player, it's so nice to see all this tech being broken down such that less familiar players can understand some of these crazy nuanced interactions Snake Eyez was taking advantage of. This is all stuff that would go right over my head.

This was such an insane run. It's hilariously such a Snake Eyez thing to just join a major tourney as a side quest and take the gold. What a madlad.

even though you mentioned he plays Street Fighter, what really makes this crazy for those that don’t know is that to understand the full story you have to understand Snake_Eyez really doesn’t care about Strive at all and was only doing this tournament to prove a point. Basically he’s a Street Fighter player who was like “guilty gear is an easy game. Watch I’ll show you.” And then wins his first guilty gear tournament ever with the worst character in the game (though in fairness, he didn’t pick Pot because he’s the worst but rather because he’s the most similar to the style Snake normally plays since he’s a Zangief main)

To this day I dont think there’s any pot player that plays as good as Snake Eyez. He was nothing short of incredible to watch displaying so much of his grappler fundamentals which he’s been building for well over a decade.

I swear to god Snake Eyes is like the Ronaldo of Grapplers. If a grappler exists, give Snake eyes about 2-3 weeks, and he’d probably be able to cook you into a very, very fine dish.

“About the Roman cancels: The blue one is when you’re on neutral The yellow one is when your blocking. The red is when you’re attacking. Is it clear ?” “What is the pink one for ?” “No way man…It’s when you’re ‘kind of’ attacking…Did you get it ?” “And the green one ?!” “You got a pirated version of the game” “Oh…That’s why he had a hoodie” By the way, love the Spark 3 ost

Snake Eyez is an absolute legend. It feels like he can make the right decision against his opponent everytime. Zippy’s family was adorable tho.

No one said "POTEMKIIIN!!!....BUSSSTERrrrrrrr!"

hey, good vid! but i do have a little suggestion for the title, you might want to make it less specific (maybe replace "potemkin" with "grappler" and make it more ambiguous) because after watching the video it seems that your target audience would be pretty large. with the explanation sections your target audience is people who play fighting games, but not guilty gear. if they know about guilty gear they would've known the mechanics except maybe kara cancelling. but those segments are a really nice additions for people who doesn't know how guilty gear works just yet but have already played another fighting game like tekken or SF. the title having "potemkin" would be ignored by them because they don't know guilty gear just yet. while "grappler" or "worst character" are far broader terms that any fighting game player understand. hope this helps! it really is a good video i hope it doesn't just stay unknown to most people

This video was so well put together, so informative, had me on the edge of my seat and had such a good finish to it. Thank you 😃

Your videos are great, I love how you explain things as they happen (I could never fathom a super RC fast cancel with one bar of tension), I have no clue why the RU-vid algorithm banishes you, long live booty grappler Potemkin!

Love the video and giving us information that not everyone would know. Pac Man World 2 music goes crazy

Great video! Really enjoyed your commentary and explanations/examples of terminology. Would definitely watch more breakdowns of matches in this style

This was not only an insanely entertaining video, but also very informative for the people who dont understand fighting games. If i didn't know play GGST and watched this video i would thankfully still be able to understand and have the same amount of fun watching it as well 👍

I so fucking love potemkin

The editing, the music, the commentary, the breakdowns and explanation....this is the best gameplay footage I have ever watched. Subscribed

Your content is so well made, congrats

I like the breaking down of tech and strategies. I’m a casual player but that’s always something I wished people would explain in their video so I can understand and appreciate the play better. Subscribed to hopefully see more.

The context to why he went, I think it is, or what I heard in some videos, is that he was making fun of Leffen after he both won evo and was invited to a SF 6 exhibition. Saying how he can only win majors in a game like GGST that has really weak players. So he probably wanted to prove his point by using the worst character.

I absolutely HAVE to start following snake eyez, I wouldn't say I'm a novice to fighting games, but I definitely am to the fighting games comp scene. I've never had such a rollercoaster of emotions. Love pot and LOVED snake's performance, positively brilliant. (fantastic editing too)

Funny how it says the worst character yet no bedman gaming

Good video, a nice touch to not spoil or hint at the ending of the story

Thank you for the video. Watched the whole thing. Good work. 👍

great commentary, great explanations, great video man. Thanks!

Lordknight match was real nice, can really see the experience from both players

Aye! You can see me near the end popping off when he won! I remember telling James Chen that he could possibly do it and he told me to stop jinxing it. 😂

"The oppomemnt"

Really feeling your style, very well made

I have audio processing disorder and the music is mixed a bit too loud imo, I can't make out what you're saying from the music unless I'm focusing really hard, would be nice to hear it get turned down at least a bit next time

Absolute top tier content from a smaller content creator, make more vids like these man

A really fun and informative video!

Epic run and a great video!

As a new Guilty Gear player and upcoming Potemkin player (mainly for fun), this was a pleasant watch. Quite informative and gave me an idea of the tough road to come. I’m not good at fighting games, but Potemkin’s slow and steady deliberate heavy damage attacks suits my slow brain. Otherwise, I resort to just random button spam and whatever special attack I can remember.

Really enjoying this video, currently 14 minutes in, but I have to note that the tutorial segments feel very weird. It's unclear who exactly the target audience is. A lot of information is left out for people who are new to fighting games. And more experienced players likely won't need much of this tutorialization. You explain what the RC types are, but not the general properties of them (letting you cancel into another move). You mention that they cost meter, but not what meter is and how you gain it, or what else it can be used for. When explaining meaties you talk about DPs and show frame data bars, but people new to fighting games won't know what a DP is or how to read frame data. In some parts you leave out too much information for new players, while in others you tutorialize something essentially only for those new players. Once again I am really enjoying this video and think you've done a great job with it, but in my opinion it could really help if you either improved the tutorials, or ditched them entirely. Because when you already know all that's being tutorialized, it's kind of tedious to sit through all these pauses.

I had to give you a like in the video just for the moment that I heard some Onimusha Warlords music being used.

Great video, tutorials at all the right spots for me.

The summoning salt intro 😂

Thanks for explaining the stuff

The biggest thing that would hold a low tier character back is just simply not working 😂 (Moves don't connect, something that's suppose to be plus is negative for some reason, etc) Props to the big guy! First time I've got hyped watching an FGC vid since Bee on injustice 2 and a Jax main on MK11

incredibly funny and useful video, subcribed and like the video instantly

Him vs zippy saga gave me so much anxiety what an insane run.

Babe wake up the perfect name finally uploaded 😱🔥

Apoment.. am i missing something?

This dude commentary is amazing “if you’ve never been baited… then you’re a liar”😂😂😂😂

9:26 naw what happened here was Snake Eyes got mixed because he was expecting the jump cancel Yozanzen instant overhead but got hit by 2D instead.

Snake eyes just is snake eyes man. Hes THE grappler

This guy is my hero

DMC 3 soundtrack. Lets go. Great job on this video.

Thank you for explaining all the mechanics as a new strive player I’ve learned a lot

Great video, thank you. What is that chill sounding music you use during the white tutorial screen?

If you think Pot is bad do this with bedman? it is not fun unless you start snowballing pressure

Great video :D Armored core music based choice based af

I'm not a fan of how ya present narative of Snake's journey, but your editing and analysis is quite detailed - good stuff!

Major Bismuth vibes with the explanation sections.

this is like a wirtual vid for ggs

Thank you for explaining the tech. As a casual Potempkin player I didn't know some of this. Thank you for taking the time.

Amazing video

THE CHAI KISKE REPRESENTATION IS SO REAL

Bro casually drops Silent Line ost remix like if nobody would notice

Very fun video ❤❤❤

not the worst character at all....

shout out to the AC3 bgm at 14:37

I never use this because I'm not a coward. I felt that in my soul.

Insanity quality video

i lov the glue eater!!! very

Snake Eyez is just really good at grapplers in general

awesome video!!!

I like how we dont hear snake eyes say a single word untill the last 20 seconds of thr video, and it aint even from the main tournament.

great video bro

There's paying homage to summoning salt and then there's straight ripping him off. You're the second one

The non-copyrighted but might as well be copyrighted Summoning Salt song??? Oh nah this might be mad deep like that.

Summojing salt..... is that you??.?....

Is this “worst character” in the room with us?

Gotta love the summoning salt 🧂 intro

8:54 bro i laughed so hard😂😂😂 bc im the exact same💀💀 i almost nvr use that shit it just never comes to mind

Snake brought us here :)

What’s the song during the first part grand finals? I know it but I can’t place it

Music at 19:03

Are you trying to summon him?

Epowga gaming

You gotta update axl corner pressure. Wihrlwind is turning him into a beast

Oppoment

nice video

To be fair, in a game like Strive, even Potemkin can make some ground. At the time that this was all going down though, Sin and Bedman were well and truly holding the spots for bottom 2 and 1.

Stole summoning salts whole flow there

Best character honestly

What's the song around the 11:45 mark?

Whats the song at 1:16 ? Amazing video by the way (:

I dont even know this game but it is entertaining

oppoment

Grappler players are a different breed. Thats all it is.

Snake eyez the best grappler player in the world

Nice video I liked it 😁 My only complaint is at the part where you explain stuff the music gets super repetitive and it's driving me crazy. Other than that nice video

Soooooo Summoning salt would like a word HHH this is just a joke getting inspired is fine

duuuude... you are talking abouto the best, or at least, one of the top 03 zangief of THE WORLD.... he had all the background and knowledge of grappler to pull that off

8:56 i feel attacked🤣i play axl, i'll be a coward and used YRC all day to stay alive

fantastic video, love the mini explanations for the mechanics for people unfamiliar with the game, only criticism is that they're way too close together

This intrigued me besides not knowing too much about GGST and of course its fucking SnakeEyez lmao Dude sees a shitty grappler and has $$ in his eyes.
