GGXRD/Ramlethal Valentine

Ramlethal Valentine

Overview

Wizard from the backyard. Ramlethal can fight using her two giant swords equipped or by setting them up to attack separately. Deployed swords can be used to control space in neutral, force the opponent to block after a knockdown or as part of blockstrings to keep them pinned down so Ramlethal can go for mixups.

Strengths

• Great normals when equipped with her swords.
• Good mixup and pressure off corner knockdowns
• Midscreen combos have good corner carry
• Toranshi super
  

Weaknesses

• Normals have poor range without swords equipped.
• Lacks a meterless reversal
• Neutral game can be difficult to setup

5P

5P File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5P.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 10 Mid - - 4 4 5 +1 Ramlethal's fastest normal, has poor reach and is positive on block. Does not hit all characters on crouching. Great for baiting bursts. Can chain into itself and other normals by using 4P as the input.

5K

5K File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5K.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 22 Mid - - 8 3 15 -4 Used to start combination attacks. Not much use in neutral as Ramlethal has better normals for that.

c.S

c.S File:GGXRD Ramlethal cS.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 28 Mid - - 6 3 18 -4 Good close range normal, good startup and more range than 5P. Combos into 2D and Daruo.

f.S

f.S No Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal fS.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 38 Mid - - 11 5 21 -12 Pretty useless normal. Does not see much use in matches if any at all.

f.S

f.S With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal fS Sword.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 32 Mid - - 9 6 18 -10 Far reaching sword swing with good range and startup. Jump cancel-able on block. Combos into Daruo on crouching or counterhit for big damage.

5H

5H No Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5H.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 36 Mid - - 12 6 24 -13 Blockstring and combo tool when without swords.

5H

5H With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5H Sword.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 46 Mid - - 14 9 27 -19 Has a big vertical hitbox, possibly a good anti-air if the spacing is right. Mostly used in combos due to launching on hit, can be followed up by an air combo.

6P

6P File:GGXRD Ramlethal 6P.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 30 Mid - - 10 4 22 -12 A Pretty solid anti-air, has a pretty small hitbox. Frames 1~13 Upper body invulnerability.

6K

6K File:GGXRD Ramlethal 6K.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 26 High - - 18 5 9 0 Standing overhead, hits crouching characters at 20F. Combos into 5P in the corner, requires an RC or a deployed sword to hit to combo off it midscreen.

3K

3K File:GGXRD Ramlethal 3K.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 28 Low - - 12 12 12 -7 A sliding kick that can go under stuff. Frames 10~ Low profile.

5D

5D File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5D.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 25 High - - 28 6 21 -13 A typical dust attack, very slow and unsafe. Doesn't see much use due to Ramlethal having better options for overheads but that doesn't mean it should never be used.

2P

2P File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2P.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 8 Mid - - 5 4 6 0 Standard crouching punch, use this instead of 5P on characters who can crouch under 5P.

2K

2K File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2K.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 15 Low - - 6 5 9 -2 Standard crouching short that hits low. Fastest low attack so its a good mixup tool. Faster than 2D but less damage.

2S

2S With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2S Sword.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 60 Mid - - 19 9 51 -41 Big normal that covers a lot of space above and behind Ramlethal. Can chain into 2H on block for safety or for damage on non-counterhits. Lots of untechable time on air counterhit; allows for a dash up c.S into air combo.

2H

2H With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2H Sword.jpg bonk	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 70 Mid - - 25 9 27 -17 Big normal that slams the opponent into the ground for a knockdown Primarily used after 2S to make it safe.

2D

2D File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2D.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 28 Low - - 8 6 16 -8 Ramlethal's best low starter. Combos into daruo.

j.P

j.P File:GGXRD Ramlethal jP.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 10 High/Air - - 5 6 6 - Amazing normal for air to air hit confirms and blockstrings.

j.K

j.K File:GGXRD Ramlethal jK.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 22 High/Air - - 7 4 13 - Good normal for air to ground approaches due to its downward hit box. Important normal for airdash mixup. Alternate between airdashing and starting an air chain with j.K or landing and hitting them low.

j.S

j.S No Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal jS.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 26 High/Air - - 9 4 20 - Air combo filler, nothing really special about this move compared to jP and jK.

j.S

j.S With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal jS Sword.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 30 High/Air - - 10 7 24 - f.S but in the air. Good hitbox to air-to-air with and lots of untech time on air counterhit that leads to massive damage.

j.H

j.H No Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal jH.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 32 High/Air - - 13 8 27 - Good normal to extend an air blockstring against a grounded opponent, as it does hit overhead.

j.H

j.H With Sword File:GGXRD Ramlethal jH Sword.jpg Not an overhead	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 40 All - - 15 Active until landing 0 - A big sword bonk that leads to good damage. A good normal to throw out if the opponent is below you. Beats a lot of anti-airs if done high enough, can be avoided entirely if they crouch however.

j.D

j.D File:GGXRD Ramlethal jD.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal j8D.jpg Most useful version for corner carry and combo extension File:GGXRD Ramlethal j2D.jpg Used for midscreen knockdown	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 40 (50 for J8D) All - - 11 (16 for J2D) 8 20 / 5 Landing recovery - Ramlethal's primary air combo ender. Blows opponents away based on the version of the move used. J2D stalls your air momentum so it can be used to delay your landing.

Combination Attacks

Combination attacks are unique to Ramlethal and have different rules compared to her normal gatlings. Once you start a combination attack string, you cannot cancel into any special moves after the second attack but you can cancel into 4S/H, 6S/H, or 2S/H. After the third attack you cant cancel into anything. Combination attacks can be chained even on whiff.

5PPP

5PPP File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5P.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PP.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PPP.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5P 10 Mid - - 4 4 5 +1 5PP 18 Mid - - 7 4 10 -2 5PPP 28 Mid - - 10 6 9 -1 Important in corner combos as it wall slams allowing for extended combos. Decent midscreen combo ender as it blows the opponent away. Not much time for proper oki but it works.

5PK

5PK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5P.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5P 10 Mid - - 4 4 5 +1 5PK 22 Mid - - 10 3 21 -7 Second hit is bad on block but has lots of untechable time. If used in a combo, the second hit can be canceled into 4S/H and still leaves enough time to continue the combo.

5PPK

5PPK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5P.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PP.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PPK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5P 10 Mid - - 4 4 5 +1 5PP 18 Mid - - 7 4 10 -2 5PPK 26 Mid - - 13 6 18 -10 Last hit floats midscreen, wall slams in corner. First and second hits always combo, last hit only combos on crouching. Doesn't see much use as there are better options for damage that don't require crouching.

5KKK

5KKK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5K.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PK.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5KKK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5K 22 Mid - - 8 3 15 -4 5KK 28 Mid - - 9 3 12 -1 5KKK 32 Mid - - 11 4 22 -9 Last hit causes sliding midscreen, wall slams in the corner. Unsafe on block but on hit leads to the standard post-wall slam corner combos.

5K>4K and 5KK>4K

5K>4K and 5KK>4K File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5K.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PK.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 4K.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5K 22 Mid - - 8 3 15 -4 5KK 28 Mid - - 9 3 12 -1 4K 36 Mid - - 15 3 35 -24 Same as the 5KKK string but with an alternate ender. 4K is an interesting move that launches and causes a knockdown. Also slightly pulls opponents out of the corner allowing you to cross them up on wakeup. 4K can also be done after 5P.

5KPP

5KPP File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5K.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5PP.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5KPP.jpg

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 5K 22 Mid - - 8 3 15 -4 5KP 18 Mid - - 7 4 9 -1 5KPP 42 High - - 18 4 12 +3 First and second hits only combo on crouching, third hit does not combo at all. Last hit is an overhead that is great on block and ground bounces, easy to followup. Third hit isnt a really a good mixup tool due to there not being a low-hitting followup with the same starter. Primarily used in pressure and to combo aerial opponents.

2PPK

2PPK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2P.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2PP.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2PPK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2P 8 Mid - - 5 4 6 0 2PP 18 Mid - - 8 4 10 -2 2PPK 36 Low - - 16 6 20 -12 Third hit has the same animation as 2KPK but launches on hit instead of knocking down. Very unsafe on block and doesnt combo but easy to combo after.

2PK

2PK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2P.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2PK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2P 8 Mid - - 5 4 6 0 2PK 24 Low - - 9 4 12 -2 Nothing special about this chain other than the second hit is a low.

2KK

2KK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2K.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2KK.jpg	Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2K 15 - - - 6 - - -2 2KK 18,32 Low - - 9 4(6)5 16 -4 Second attack hits low twice, making all three attacks hit low. Knocks down, allowing you time to setup oki. Unsafe on block.

2KPP

2KPP and 2KPK File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2K.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2PP.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal 5KPP.jpg

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 2K 15 - - - 6 - - -2 2KP 22 Mid - - 8 4 10 -2 2KPP 44 High - - 18 4 12 +3 2KPK 32 Low - - 12 6 20 -12 Starts out hitting low and can end with either an overhead or a low. Despite the sweep ender having the same animation as the third attack of 2PPK it does not launch but instead causes knockdown and also always combos regardless of standing or crouching. Very unsafe if the final hit is the low option. Use sparingly or with an RC.

Universal Mechanics

Ground Throw

Ground Throw File:GGXRD Ramlethal GroundThrow.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 54 Ground Throw: 75250 - - 1 - - +53 Leads to nothing but a knockdown and oki.

Air Throw

Air Throw File:GGXRD Ramlethal AirThrow.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 63 Air Throw: 192500 - - 1 - - - Ground throw animation but in the air. Leads to the same situation as a ground throw.

Dead Angle Attack

Dead Angle Attack File:GGXRD Ramlethal dead angle.jpg	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 25 All - - 7 4 27 -17 Same animation as the 5PP combination attack. A solid defensive tool to spend meter on if you don't want to risk doing a reversal super.

Special Moves

Deploy Giant Sword

Deploy Giant Sword 6S/H or 2S/H File:GGXRD Ramlethal 6S.jpg 6S File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2S.jpg 2S File:GGXRD Ramlethal 6H.jpg 6H File:GGXRD Ramlethal 2H.jpg 2H

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 6S 26 Mid/Air - - 67, 64 (after deployment), 26 (close range) 13, 15 (after deployment) 22, 26 (aerial) / 31 (after deployment), 29 ( after deployment, aerial) - Does a horizontal slash, better active frames than 6H. Appears in front of opponents. good for controlling a grounded opponent. 2S 50 Mid/Air - - 96 (67 close range) 18 33, 26 (aerial) - An alternate attack done by the S sword. Causes the familiar to do a clockwise spin with the sword. Slow to start up but has a big hitbox and causes a ground bounce on hit. Requires S sword to already be placed with 6S. 6H 26 Mid/Air - - 66, 63(after deployment), 25 (close range) 11 22, 26 (aerial) / 31 (after deployment), 29 (after deployment, aerial) - Familiar does a downward, vertical slash with the H sword. Appears above opponents, easy to avoid. 2H 60 Mid/Air - - 91, 62 (close range) 18 33, 26 (aerial) - Similar to 2S but instead does a counter-clockwise spin. Difficult attack to avoid and also causes the most blockstun out of all the other sword attacks due to its attack level. Ground bounces on hit. Requires H sword to already be placed with 6H. File:GGXRD Ramlethal swordplacement2.jpg File:GGXRD Ramlethal swordplacement.jpg A series of command normals that cause one of your two giant swords to do a tracking teleport to your opponent and perform an attack. Used for mixup, neutral game and to extend pressure. She can cancel the majority of her normals into these as well as the second hit of combination attacks, very effecttive when used with jump cancelable normals. Using 6S or 6H replaces the normals done with that button with new ones. Ramlethal is in counterhit state during the entire animation of deploying a sword. Blocking or getting hit will cause any deployed swords to stop attacking. A sword cannot be summoned again until the familiar starts glowing again. On the intitial 6S/H, the sword will always go through the teleport animation. Any summons afterward can skip the teleport animation if the opponent is close by, causing the attack to come out much faster.
