We can always do a set ourselves for better guidance. The Slayer in this video is a Celestial Player, but not a Celestial Slayer (yet). He has a high win record against Pot Players so he knows the MU to an extent. If you want to give him tips, I'm sure he won't mind. We have a handful of Celestial Players in the Discord server, a couple that go to online tournaments. I know there's a Celestial Slayer in the server but we only did a set once with him as Sol. Our schedule coincidentally doesn't line up. The one in the video is more convenient since he is my cousin and we're actively checking how these characters are supposed to interact with each other. I can find stuff quicker than he does though since I can do all of Pot's Kara Combos and Moves, but he's mechanically struggling to Kara his CMD Grab right now. So, admittedly, it's not exactly fair but I'm down to fight other Slayers to learn more stuff. I've fought a bunch of Celestial Players before, but casually not the thousand level ones. Those that I do find in my lobbies usually play the lame game and they always try to avoid the Pot Buster despite being conditioned. I just find it amusing. They're playing the MU so I can't be mad at them for it.

@@sirnarwhal9911 I would love to but I cannot play any sets besides in japanese servers as I am from SEA. Truthfully I am not that professional with him either, I am ofcourse talking about other celestials in japanese servers. I chose 200+ because they consistently use kara.p.mappa to oki. Yes I suppose you are right that it is in the thousands that slayer would probably shine with consistent neutral. I hope that you continue to break down the MU much more.

Another piece of advice I can give is to just jump with Slayer when you see him do the Dandy -> H Guard Crush. You can throw him on landing, 5P into Heat Tackle, or j.H c.S 6K into Heat Tackle. I suggest this because he may be spaced too far to 5P or 6P. If you see him K Dandy, you can respond with Heat Tackle and it'll cover three of his Rekka's. The only Rekka will beat this is Pilebunker, but that's just simple RPS.

I've been thinking about making a few like with GL, Nago, Slayer, Ky, Bridget, and so on, but they're gonna rebalance Wild Assault in July and give people like Ky, Nago, and Sol a new move soon. So I don't want to make something that will become obsolete in just two months.

The rebalancing of wild assault is official?

​​@@Eliksni. That's the expected date for it (late July). They said they're working on BURST Gauge, Wild Assault, and characters who struggle to reach their full potential.

When you grab them then jump forward you're +11 on-landing. If you 5P them on-landing, 5P's last active frame would be on the 9th frame of its animation. Thus, it wouldn't connect since the enemy is 2f away from waking-up. You would need to slightly delay it like by 2-3 frames to meaty with it and be safe from Reversals. If you're looking for an auto-timed meaty, 5K does that for you.

@@sirnarwhal9911 Yeah, but the move doesn't complete in time to block a 9f reversal. Since pot's jump is 45 frames and his uncharged 5D is 48 frames, why not use 5D as a frame kill? Then 6D/PB > 5D whiff > 5P is meaty, hitting on either of the last two frames I think, and you're ready to block before the opponent can bust out a 9f invincible reversal which I think is the fastest one bar Anji counter. (New to this kind of theory so I genuinely have no idea if this is idiotic or genius)

@@boman1905 It can block a 9f Reversal. 5P has 6f of recovery. As long as you're hitting a Meaty with 5P's late active frames, you should be able to block any Reversal and still pressure them. It just requires a bit of manual timing like with c.S, but there's ways to frame kill it for c.S to auto-time like by doing j.S during your jump c.S will land. Other Pot Players do Megafist after grab to auto-time the 5P. For your theory, you still need the right amount of frames and to be in their face to represent the possibilities of your other options since both grabs create distance between you two. Pot's 5P hits crouchers, but they need to be point blank for it to connect. The reason why I always suggest the jump set-up is because I can do almost anything I want since what Pot can do next is left ambigious. I can either catch their backdash with 5K, catch a DP or wake-up grab with an auto-timed Kara Pot Buster, or even 2H counter-hit them if they try to wake-up mash. They are left with more guess work to deal with as they wake-up.

If you play on console, you can't do it for whatever reason. You're able to on PC.

@@sirnarwhal9911 Damn

Sorry for the late reply. If you have Discord, I can invite you to the group I usually spar with. They play late at night PST, but I'm available to play on Thru-Sat.

No, your clip was picked in a random order. Plus, it's more fun to hear the person getting mixed than a random without voice chat. Just guess the multi-layered mix in the correct order and you'll be fine. 🤡

I have no idea how you took it that way, but congrats on making that reach 🎉

@@thebigbrain8877 I'm just being playful! I'm actually happy to have appeared in his guide and hope to be in more of 'em!

@@nemoisnobody ahhh apologies, I didn’t see it as such. I’ll make sure to read extra carefully from now on lol.

@@thebigbrain8877 It's all good. The internet can be a crazy silly place sometimes so it can be genuinely difficult to pick up on things. Especially since I don't use emojis!

Thank you! I'll be following up with another Potemkin guide coming this month (most likely on the 21st). There's so much to cover for Season 3 Potemkin and his pressure, so I want to condense this one in a very organized and efficient matter. A lot of other Potemkin players are having issues with players that Fuzzy a lot, so this next guide is gonna be about how to break that.

RUclips doesn't give me any notifications. 😢 You're welcome! I hope Skarlet is in MK1 next Kombat Pack.

Sure thing! :) I was in the middle of making it, but that was before Heat Tackle came out so I waited for it. I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 and GoW Ragnarok until it dropped. I should resume back to it. Give it until next Sunday.

Muchas gracias ❤❤❤

I'm sorry, brother. 😢

@@sirnarwhal9911 My middle finger on my right hand doesn't move, both of my bumpers are gone and I replaced them with bits of Qtips I chewed into place and taped down, and my sticks don't work so I gotta click the left one in every now and then to keep my guy from jumping...but I'ma get this shit man. I've seen a guy play by blowing through a tube

Got it 🍻

Oh god damn it I just started playing and picked up pote because I see funny big guy and gravitate towards those characters but they got rid of that option why

​@ajm2487 probably because his kara cancel is essential to his pro players, so they think they have to make it really hard to execute to counterbalance the effectiveness of the technique. Otherwise, he "wouldn't be so special".

I countered his tick throw with my command grab twice then spaced myself to whiff his wake-up jab.

I have some more tech because of how Season 3 changed a lot of stuff. One of the things I didn't cover is that if you counterhit the enemy with Hammerfall, you can hold jump forward, j.S, and this will auto-time c.S meaty or your Pot Buster. If you remove the j.S, you're plus enough to meaty 2H against wake-up grab. You've been able to do this on Season 2, but I was worried that the duration of the video wouldn't make people wanna watch it.

@@sirnarwhal9911 I wouldn't worry about that too much, us pot addicts are gonna watch the shit out of tech vids regardless of length. Looking forward to more spicy s3 posts!

Ayo! 👀 EXIT, as a Skarlet Player, what are your thoughts on Nitara's playstyle and her being casted as Megan Fox?

@@sirnarwhal9911 her and smoke I’m aiming to main

Cheers, Sid! 🎉 Your Kustom Variation got a Guide now.

Hm. It's odd. I jusr double checked my notifications are on from you. I wonder why I wasn't alerted. RUclips needs a buff!

​@@anhaconda☠️ That explains the lack of views. lol

absolutely

Good shit

I tried to tell you stream last night. Your Twitter is gone too. You should do a peer review on this video, man. I would love to collab with you in MK1.

@@sirnarwhal9911 no what’s or butts we doing a video together

You start from 2 and spin the stick clockwise to 6 since the jump input is replaced to a different button. The D-Pad can also work, but the left stick allows me to run longer sets because of the less friction done on my thumb. A bit of warning, if you use the left stick more, you might give it drift stick overtime. I had that with my first controller by practicing Kara Back Megafist Combos for months. You can still fix it, but just a heads up. If the K and H are the problem, I remap my K button on my right bumper/R1. Basically, in a pinching motion, you should press K first and H after. It helps ease the friction on your fingers. My current controls are at the start of my latest Pot Guide or in the comments. If you're doing Garuda into Kara Garuda, it has to do with your timing. The timing is longer than you would normally expect it to be, so be mindful of that. Don't feel too bad if you can't do it yet. You can still 6K into Garuda/Flick or 66 RC into them. Kara Garuda is good to have, but in my honest opinion Kara Megafist and Kara Heat Knuckle are more important to master than Kara Garuda. You have better tools in neutral and can get good Oki if you can Kara Back Megafist at least once in a RC combo. Kara Garuda should come naturally as the input is very similar to Kara Back Megafist.

Hey, I know this is late, but my next video will cover Baraka's staggers a bit. It'll be my last MK11 guide before moving to MK1.

thanks@@sirnarwhal9911
