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!
@@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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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 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.
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.
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😔
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.

@@acquireTigris wait, how do you flick the swords in the corner? Time it to the explosion?
@@gerharddamm5933 only flick it if you block the initial sword throw. Just flick it immediately after blocking it.
@@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.

Props, but lets be real, when the code is 3 lines its not that hard.
@@noah__jd4883 Yeah, it was like a 2 KB file tops lmao
If atleast 2 kara grabs didnt occur im gonna be disappointed in you

@@uncreativearro HELL YEAH what kind of controller do you use?
I was waiting for the punchline where you land one pot buster and she explodes
there's no punchline with rramlethal. only pain
@@The4stro Just like fighting Testament with big bodies. 😭
Don't forget the beauty of a perfectly timed 5P. I've stopped Leos in their tracks to reassess the situation after stuffing multiple S/HS attempts
Ram, the anti heavy. Can hold Lewis in an infinite block combo once she has him to the wall
I bet goldlewis can just 6p it not gonna ngl
@@the0therethan Ahahahahaha nah he can't
@@the0therethan nope. Goldlewis has really bad normals
Same with Fauts, the poor doctor is done once gets cornered without meter
Wowee zowee a block infinite!
Wrong, not one Megafisto? Is this even a Pot?
When you thought you was taking a trip to spain
But Ram sent you to brazil instead
actually they to spain, but without the s
why does one jump-in cover 5 different options
For real
For clarity which one? Curious
@@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
This gotta be the most accurate Strive video out lmfao

I think cal just runs through it
that sounds so wrong
@@forcers5k lol
236H+6S+RC+235P+235P+235P
I swear when I want to play potemkin the game only matches me up against Ramlethals, they actually praying on my downfall
I’m new to the game, but can’t you see what your opponent is playing before the fight starts?
@@webber-4144 Yeah, but there's also a quick match option that just queues you with whomever
MU even at worst.

For sure. Higher lv Pots be taking you on thier shoulders no matter the match up!
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 expected pot to land one garuda into potbuster and the screen to explode
That's DemonDan14's tech. I'm not gonna do DemonDan dirty like dat
That Ram was having the time of their life I can't even hate
As a ramlethal main, I can confirm that I fish for wall breaks.
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
The last frame of the video is godly
“Can I land one grab please? Okay…”
Man, of only Potemkin could combo break or blue psych
SWORD STUCK, SWORD STUCK
PLEASE
I BEG YOU
WE'RE DEAD!
Its nice to not see glue eating propaganda from a Pot player. 10/10 editing
I mean, it's pretty much how it *feels* like
spain without the s
Ramlethal j.D is just Spain without the "a"
Spain without the in
*Laughs in nago infinite pressure*
To fight the monke, you have to become the monke.
technically, it's not infinite
@@The4stro well if you can grab or super than you have your blood back and the cycle continues.
Ya to me this sums it up, just a easy win for her.
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
It's an even matchup most of the time.
Potemkin has "SIMP" on his right arm band, no wonder he's losing that bad.
Some people really need to refer to the zang strat of walk up and block lol.
😳 I needed that thank you!
"Your turn? Maybe next match with someone else."
This sum ups the matchup for anyone vs Ram.
Hey quick tip. To always get the good flick fireball do kara flick instead, just trust me ok.
kara cancel flick on sword explosion will create a reflected projectile :)
Bro literally my first game in online
Now that i broke the wall, what is your thoughts on a really long block string
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.

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.
Yeah, but as you can see in the video the timing's a little tricky and the punishment for failing's pretty rough.
@@Aruezi That is true.
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
@@apomp And I thought it was intentional
he's finally acquired the thighs
I think my biggest problem with my Pot right now is using Burst too early and getting FD'd free later
This is so real it hurts XD
Ramlethal vs anyone
Pot in particular though because you cant dash forward out of the corner.
@@tongpoo8985 can’t he charge dash and tank the sword?
Oh look. Chipp's saviour is finally here.
But now, she can win against Potsugeki?
You forgot to add in the clip where Pot mashes super on block and managed to roll that into a kill
DENIAL DENIAL
0:59 SAIDO CHESTO
Damn you youtube, thought this was going to be a pot tutorial, not a ptsd montage ;(
The trick is to learn to perform your best under block pressure, like zen or some b.s. idk I’m not too tier
Who gave you the footage of my fight last night?
The music you used sounds familiar, where was it from?
It's Necessary Discrepancy from Strive
You know, Ramlethal's theme
@@acquireTigris ah i thought i heard it from a different game lol
S'all good. Seems like everyone forgets about Ram's theme tbh
I read this as Pokémon vs ramlethal way too many times.
Iunno fighting ram is my favourite match-up with Potemkin. MEGAFISTO them far slash spammers.
PSA: Flick the sword
Thumbnail?
The safest f.S+5H in the west
Can literally break a wall off of any hit
As a Faust main, pain
You can crawl under swords and escape
Did you draw the thumbnail yourself?
I found it in a Discord server and unfortunately cannot source who made it. :/
Me swapping to fight pot after having a hellish time as millia against pot
How do I drift RC with Pot? I can never get it
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
Of course, that's just preference. If you actually want to forward dash, backdash, updash, or downdash then RC, it's up to you
@@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
Just saw a pot 3-0 a ram in European evo so its possible.
Ramlethal "Cry About It" Valentine
tfw you main faust and potemkin, and both of them fucking *cry* in the ram matchup.
Thumbnail sauce?
That was tasty!
Pot vs anyone is either 10:0 or 0:10
no alternatives
I want to be the Ram
Yep, pretty much.
An easy way to beat ram as pot is just to not take damage
Yo bro link me that thumbnail it’s funny
It's brutal but you can outrange her with forward HS and I've mixed here combo starter with megafist. Outside of that pray.
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.
More like 'It's my turn to hit you..😭😭😭'
miss one fdb and its back to neutral with a chunk of health missing, too bad ram dies faster with a successful meaty guess on knockdown
They really need to fix flicks interaction with the swords
denial denial
I aspire to become this.
Yep….
buff ramlethal

Sounds like this comment section needs to learn how to *BLOCK* , You can 6P her Slash and Heavy slash.
I was hoping Society would start up and that stupid coomer-bait would get one shot
damn imagine being a bad potemkin player
Damn, imagine making a curated video of me getting beat up by my friend that's meant to be comedic?
Someone isn’t trying hard enough
How to eat paint
I know this is a joke but I don't think it is that bad
It's not that bad

It really aint that bad. Pot does really well in this MU, just lab out the good stuff
?????
@@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

@@enaidiZ fdb doesn't hit her if she does superjump air dash. and megafist only goes over her H explosion.

Hopeless
