Y'all probably should mention flip at far range for part one, as that let's ram both re-establish her turn and pick up the sword post 5h 236h while maintaining advantage. Before folks say "but muh reactable, just 6p/5p/5k it" please consider both rekka and daruo condition the player to sit still and add to the mental stack. Also for the second piece, 5k is also a regular check as that can catch fuzzy jumpers more easily that 2k (assuming you, the ram player, don't have reliable or stable execution), dragging back down into the mix. If you character has strong aerial options (double jumps, weird air movement such as bandit revolver/bringer, turbofall, etc), super jump out of situation 1 can force the ram player to commit more to either super jumping with you to try to air throw/j.p, or simply walk back to give up space to keep the corner. Millia, Sol, Zato, Baiken, and a few others have tools to essentially force ram players to sit a sec if they mindlessly go to cover the two common options after 5h 236h. Typically at closer range, dash block into FD is your best bet often as it forces ram to dash in further to continue pressure/pick up swords, or if they respect/give up their turn, create a bit of wiggle room for you on defense. Admittedly, NONE of these options are super strong at escaping the situation, hence Ram's current strength in this iteration, but the above can be lower risk/commitment options to the more RPS heavy tools of run up throw, YRC, burst, and 6p, seeing as ALL of those lose to doing nothing after the sword throw for ram, or can get you killed just as badly as simply trying to mash a fast poke post sword toss. SQ has a great breakdown on ram pressure worth peeping as well!

Great additions to the discussion! I'd like to add that 5K isn't really the best if you use it all the time compared to 2K because the opponent CAN 6P it once they catch on that you're not using 2K at all.

Also something to note is that it’s impossible to guess correctly everytime for both you and the Ram player. This situation is heavily in her favor and is her win condition. The honest best solution for her pressure is simply not to be in it. Just know that if you get hit there, try to think about the reasons that lead you to being there and try to improve your matchup strategy. There’s always something to be done better!

Love this game, but I get frustrated sometimes with how ONE bad decision or situation can lead you to lose the match due to how quickly players die in this game, and how powerful cornering someone is. It doesn't leave for a lot of nuance. Id like the standard to be best of 5 maybe, and for more defensive perks to be encouraged. Offense is greatly rewarded in multiple ways. I think your breaker should charge even faster when you get cornered for example.

Good guide. I play Ram and get away with a lot of war crimes because players just don't know what to do. Her pressure is good, but the layer 1 strat is you just FD her out and then make a guess on high vs. low escape. This will help you defend against 99% of Ram players out there. It's not complicated but obviously she has ways of mixing things up once you start doing the most basic correct thing. But most importantly you should not be getting hit for free without making her take some risks. Even just blocking means she has to start going for throws, which means you start having chances to jump out. Even in celestial I regularly fight players that just get hit for no reason when I'm not even doing anything tricky. And my pressure as Ram is just "alright". It's one area where I'm actively trying to improve because I lose a lot of win percentage to players that know real defense.

“Jump or Dash, You should do one of these options before the explosion” *cries in potemkin* Jokes aside, this is a great video. I’ve been struggling a lot w/ Ram’s corner pressure (mostly because I’m newer and just don’t understand how it works) and this makes me want to try either some aerial options or see if there are timings to challenge w/ HF or some kind of HFB option. It will certainly be better than my current strategy of just holding back and praying they drop an input or BMF and hope Ram is close enough to get dinged 😅.

Potemkin can flick the sword explossion IIRC and have other tools to deal with it because of the armor but needs to react fast or get used to the Ram pressure, also Potemkin won't die from few combos like other characters so he is not in a super bad spot
@lunafoxfire
Жыл бұрын
Ram beats Potemkin imo, but I still hate fighting him as Ram because he _always_ has the potential to rob the game from you. Some options that annoy me (aka tools for you to use) are: using flick on the sword explosion when she's farther away will stop her from advancing (she can read this and punish it, but you make her use one more braincell), back megafist works at several points in her pressure and you can make it so she has to play/guess around it, slide head is annoying in neutral because the armor eats her long range pokes (and potemkin's buttons in general can challenge the same far range as her), and on top of that his massive HP pool and heavy weight class means she has to hit him quite a lot to actually win (while on the other hand one good guess from Pot will end your life). Basically your goal as Pot should be to defend in a way that makes her take some kind of risk (go for more throws, etc), and then guess right and punish that risk with something impactful that leads to your knockdown oki where you then proceed to rob her blind. Who cares if you guess wrong most of the time and get counterhit, because you need to get counterhit like 4 times to actually lose the round. Pot's one of the only characters where mashing/doing some "scrubby" (but calculated) bs during her pressure can actually have okay risk/reward just by the nature of how "me big grappler" works. Also I would take this all with a grain of salt because while I play the Pot matchup somewhat often in celestial and this is my experience of how I lose, I have by no means studied/labbed the situation extensively so I might just be bad and Pot should have zero viable options 100% of the time or something.

from what i tried, cs > 6h > toss into micro dash 5k also catches jumps. weak to low profiles but its safe on grab, and you can follow it up with a flip or rekka loop into flip/sword toss. the spacing is already set for you with the 5k so you should be safe against 6ps. other than that she also has 2s but she can also 2k > jp if you dont commit to getting out with jump > airdash or superjump.

I mean, that's character specific. Not every character in this game can pull out a dolphin, but a lot of forward moving attacks can also generally help here (as long as they reach), like sol's f.S or I-No's stroke and even Ky's stun dipper. All of these come with varying levels of commitment of course and some are easier to throw out than others.

And that also missed the fact that sword toss is +3. She has frame trap opportunities up close and has advantage to check your advances from afar. Throwing dolphin out carelessly after sword toss isn't gonna win a lot of interactions against a smart Ram player.
