Why do I fucking suck against Potemkin?

I'm a half decent floor 8 Faust, watch a lot of apologyman and have the fundamentals down. I still get juggled by people that actually know what they're doing, but I feel like every match I lose is fair.

Except for fucking Pot. What in the absolute goatfuck is up with this dude? Bro commits hate crimes against anybody that jumps, has armor on half his moves, WWS, insane specials to hit out of neutral. I can play against a level 5 Pot and get shut down 9/10 times. My buddy never plays Pot and will just randomly choose him to clown on me, and he consistently wins. It's like my brain shuts off from being slide headed 6 times in a row and I can't get out of the loop.

And now, in a cosmic joke to the adults trying to play the game, they're armoring buster. I blame the beasts, I blame Daisuke, I blame my controller. Maybe it's time to learn Slayer.
