I'm not built for this

Japan does brojo cup on Mondays which is not a massive tournament but it's usually really stacked

I don't want to reduce it to that either. Pot can be frustrating to play even if you know the MU and I sympathize with people feeling that way. I'm just annoyed with people repeating stuff that's not true or doesn't apply to their character as a way to to feel justified with not liking the character

Pot is stronger, he is really annoying to fight because of how he interacts with resource system of the game and how centralizing some of his options are but most of the stuff I read is making shit up because they hated the character even before he got buffed and I'm tired of that

And to the "Garuda has no counterplay" it's still backdashable and jumpable in all the same places it was before for more reward since it has CH recovery. It's only strictly better against DP characters and baiken at the cost of being worse on hit, as combo tool and dealing less chip/risc damage.

People also conveniently avoiding mentioning any meaningful nerfs he actually received during his rework. Flick became a really dumb neutral tool but people conveniently forgot that flick on normal hit in the corner used to lead to 70% combos and now it doesn't even combo on CH

There is a ton of stuff that's a valid complaint when facing Pot from resource economy, high unburstable damage, volatile defense, bwa... The list goes on. but people decide to complain on surface level stuff that's either irrelevant or has very reasonable and I dare to say easy counterplay

The amount of times I've had to read "Pot is the best zoner in the game" as a way to complain about my character is infuriating because it shows that they truly don't know what makes the character strong and are just saying shit to hate on the grappler without understanding what he does

I'm exhausted to the point that I don't want to play the game anymore.

I'm really tired that everywhere I look at it's negativity about the character I play, on social media or every guilty gear related discord I'm in. Can't even try to share counterplay because I'm labbed as a downplayer or that I'm proposing unreasonable stuff even if it's stuff I do it all the time.

Goldburst punishing is definitely a form of art, I need to lab if there are any good ways to do it with pot

Is there any piece of tech that impresses you when you see other players do it? Every time I see an air IB done on purpose to punish something or people DSing to cancel landing recovery I think to myself "damn they are nice"

I hated the rework at first. Even though I grinded execution a lot I would be lying if I said I miss messing up 1 kara against and losing the round on the spot. However I think the yredistributed his strengths in a way that's not enjoyable because 80% of the match is losing until you are not

I already got over losing karas and mostly speaking about the merit of the rework on its own. I think it can work but making some of pot's stuff unusable like Megafist and Slidehead (the later still useful in some MUs) and making it up with messed up offense is not the way to go

It's less enjoyable for both players in the match and it also makes the character a lot less stable than he was. RS is worse, neutral is worse, defense is worse but I can deal like 80% from 1 PB with meter so it also feels like I have no right to complain about the state of the character

Pot is stronger but he is infinitely more frustrating to play. He was always a "get meter>rob round" kind of character but had other tools that let you play outside that strategy. Now he is extremely one dimensional and most of my matches are: lose 10 interactions in a row > get meter > win

I have no idea how to judge Pot's MU this patch. I'm experiencing MUs where there is a lot of losing into doing 1 good read and winning the round. The only MUs that are truly awful are the ones where there isn't even room for making that 1 hard read like GL and Johnny

Im starting to see the vision on how to play this version of Pot www.twitch.tv/andross_11

Pls don't

Against Asuka i focus on his spell bar until he gets an OH and then I look right on top of my head to try to react. Regarding my own resources, it gets to a point were you don't need to look at them that much except for key moments because you get a good feeling of how your character builds meter.

For me it heavily depends on the character. Against HC a rarely look at his meter, i dont have much reason to look at his burst during his offense so I mix between looking at his elbow to react to tap dust or focus on doing delay tech and sometimes try to react to roll looking behind me 1/2.

🙋‍♂️

Some of the new routing is admittedly very fun

The sequel

I've been dooming really hard on pot lately but i managed to have fun today. I still think the character has new flaws in neutral and defense that I can't ignore but maybe watching other Pot's like FAB might give me some answers.

This version of pot is like bottom 5 and if I have to fight another Anji without pre patch BMF and 5K my opinion will go even lower
