Overview

Ramlethal Valentine is a unique mode-switching character. Her main mechanic is managing her swords, which can switch between acting as neutral tools and okizeme tools depending on the situation.

Ramlethal starts with her swords "equipped", which strengthen her S and H normals. Sword normals are long-reaching, decently fast and deal great damage, making her a decent threat in neutral. When Ram presses 6S or 6H, she sacrifices one of her swords to "deploy" them at a specific location. Deployed swords can be used to control space in neutral, force opponents to block after a knockdown, or used as a reset tool to regain pressure. Balancing between keeping swords equipped versus deployed is key to mastering Ramlethal.

Ram's other major feature are her "Combination Attacks". Rather than have her P and K normals be on a normal gatling table, they can instead combo into each other for unique moves. For instance, PPP causes a three hit swipe that blows her opponent away, while PPK causes a two hit swipe followed by an upward kick that floats the opponent. Ram has a large number of Combination Attacks to use, many of which grant her strong pressure and excellent combo opportunities.

Ramlethal has decent ability to control her opponent in neutral (f.S, j.H, and an upward-arcing projectile), but setplay and okizeme are where she really shines: most any hit can confirm to a combo that will carry her opponent halfway across the screen. If she reaches the corner she can wallsplat her opponent and set up one or both swords for a multi-layer mixup - oh, and she has a command throw that launches, too. If her opponent somehow manages to block, Ramlethal can reset pressure with one of her plus on block overheads or a sword swipe.

Balancing this offensive vortex are poor defensive options and very stubby non-sword normals. Ramlethal is notoriously limited without her swords, and detaching one them for a neutral gamble can leave her without any kind of poke for several seconds. Her ability to mash is also mediocre, and even her 2D sweep is prone to whiffing.

All in all, Ramlethal is a character who can take a lot of work to get going - but once she does, she can feel damn near impossible to stop.

Ramlethal Valentine

Ramlethal Valentine specializes in juggling opponents into the corner and locking them down with summoned swords and deadly mixups.
Pros	Cons
Good Pokes: With swords equipped, Ramlethal has good pokes such as f.S, and 5H which can help her hold her ground in neutral. Her ability to get strong corner-carry combos off of her pokes with DauroGuard: AllStartup: 15Recovery: 18 [16]Advantage: -4 [-2] also makes her them highly rewarding. Rewarding Combos: A combination of great damage potential and high corner carry allow Ram to gain heavy reward off of any won exchange. It is not uncommon for a single combo to take an enemy right to the corner from midscreen. Insidious Okizeme: Ramlethal has disgustingly powerful corner okizeme with 6S and 6H, both of which set one of her swords. From here, Ram can go for a high/low/throw mixup with great reward that loops back into itself, or even go for a double mixup if both swords are out. Good Meter Gain: Sword normals^★ gain a ton of tension when used. Ram can use YRC to quickly set swords and get to her strongest Okizeme as fast as possible. Several Burst Safe Points: Has access to several efficient ways of baiting bursts in combos. (4P[x], 5D) Checkmate Potential: Ramlethal has strong guts crush combos and supers, including 4P mashing, Explode (2363214K), and Calvados or Trance (632146H).	Sword-Reliant: While Ramlethal's swords are deployed for okizeme or pressure, her sword normals are heavily weakened. In these situations, Ram doesnt have access to her strongest pokes and has pitiful Tension gain. Lack of Proper Gatlings: Ram's unique Combination Attacks will never directly combo into Dauro or other juggles without special hits like Counter Hit, crouching hit, or a prior sword setup. Her other juggle options and workarounds are generally unfavorable. Burst Building Combos: While long combos are cool, it also means opponents build tension and burst meter more quickly. Often an opponent can burst at the start of a round and have burst back before the end of the round. Tricky Combos: Ram's combos frequently require adjustments to be made based on character weight and height. Making sure opponents can't tech out of her juggles or wallslump too high is a demanding practice, but with thankfully very high reward. Obvious Burst Points: While Ramlethal does have burst safe combo routes, her normal routes have obvious burst points.

Unique Mechanics

Sword Set

Ramlethal can detach her swords and set them on the screen relative to her opponent's position. The swords will rest in the background wherever Ramlethal set them until she attempts to swing a sword. During the swing's startup and recovery, it becomes vulnerable, and will be knocked down for a short time if hit. When a sword is detached, Ramlethal loses the corresponding sword for her normals until she recalls it manually or uses her MarteliGuard:
MidStartup:
12 [20]Recovery:
16Advantage:
-5/ForpeliGuard:
MidStartup:
15 [22]Recovery:
24Advantage:
-11 special moves.

The sword attacks have two speeds, a slower one which is used the first time a sword is set, and a faster one which is used if Ramlethal's opponent is already in range of a set sword.

Sequence Normals

Ramlethal's normals change when used in specific sequences. Similar to chain moves from 3D fighting games like Tekken, Ramlethal's normals change when they are used in a specific pattern. For instance, using 5P will give one attack, but pressing 5PP will grant a different attack on the second button press. These chains are a core part of Ramlethal's combo, pressure, and mixup game.

Ram's farthest reaching ground normal that doesn't rely on S sword being equipped. Very sightly inches her forward.

Primarily used as a poke when S Sword is not available. 5K seems similar to others character's 5Ks on the surface, but due to Ramlethal's nature, she cant get too much reward off of it alone (such as a basic knockdown or being able to jump cancel it) but she has followup options that can be pretty rewarding both on block and hit. It cannot cancel into other normals, but is part of an overall combination of strings (see below).

Lacks reward on hit (without strings) but due to its attack level, startup and range, its a good a normal to cancel into sword summon or recall.
Chains into 6K.
Combos into her basic strings, but cannot be jump cancelled.

Combo fodder. Awful normal for neutral or offense, avoid using this move.

Swordless far slash doesn't see much use as its awful range prevents it from competing with more conventional far slashes/pokes. It is a poor neutral tool and is a huge reason as to why most players keep the S sword equipped for superior pokes.

Far reaching disjointed sword swing with good range and startup. Great for pokes and long range punishes.

Ramlethal's f.S is almost essential to her neutral, so much so that many choose to keep an non-deployed f.S equipped at all times outside of her corner game. It doesn't have much reward non-counterhit, but it is still by far one of Ramlethal's better pokes. Use often.

Ram summons the H sword from the ground, rising directly in front of her.

Mostly used in combos due to launching on normal hit, it can be followed up by an air combo. Has occasional use as an anti air when spaced correctly due to its large vertical hitbox, but must be used with caution due to its long recovery.

Can have occasional use as a counterpoke if swords aren't available as it can beat out specifc narrow moves, but as Ramlethal's hurtbox expands quite a bit forward, her 6P can be a double edged sword when used carelessly.

While it's a high risk move due to its gigantic whiff recovery, it provides great reward on air hit and even more on air counter hit, allowing for a variety of followups depending on the spacing. Due to the risk of whiffing, it's generally recommended to save 25 tension to YRC in order to remain safe.

Air-to-air normal with and lots of untech time on air counterhit that can lead to massive damage.

While it's good as an air to air poke against opponents that are parallel to Ram due to its long disjoint, it has little to no vertical reach to cover opponents above or below her. It also has long recovery, so whiffing it can be punishing. On counter hit, if the opponent is low enough to the ground, Ram can convert into a full corner carry combo.

Combination Attacks

Combination attacks are unique to Ramlethal and have different rules compared to her normal gatlings. P and K normals can only be cancelled into combination attack strings or sword summons, except for 5P and 2P which can chain into themselves or 2K. Only the first and second attacks can be cancelled into sword summons. After the third attack you cant cancel into anything. Combination attacks can be chained even on whiff.

Decent midscreen combo ender as it blows the opponent away and knocks down. Not much time for proper oki but it works in a pinch.

Does not knockdown on grounded normal hit. Opponent must be airborne on the final hit to secure a knockdown.

Last hit floats midscreen, wall slams in corner.

Useful for comboing after 6K. The main difference from PPP is that you should use this when trying to opt for the opponent to wallstick higher in corner combos. Last hit also launches for situational extended midcreen juggles.

First and second hits always combo, last hit only combos on crouching.

5PK on air hit, can combo into 4S/4H or 6S/6H sword deployments and still have enough time to continue the combo with more normals. A useful string for midscreen juggles overall.

4K ender launches on normal hit and leads to additional combo routes.

Second hit staggers on ground hit, lots of untechable time on air hit.

5KK moves Ram forward and is relatively safe on block; she can continue pressure with this and sometimes go for unexpected command grabs. 5KK is also sometimes used to end combos into a knockdown into sword summon oki. While unsafe on block, leads to the standard post-wall slam corner combos on hit.

Last hit causes techable knockback midscreen, does a low wall slam in the corner.

The 4K ender is an interesting move that launches and causes a knockdown. It also slightly pulls opponents out of the corner on hit, allowing Ram to cross them up on wakeup.

4K can also be done after 5P.

A string used for mixups after a blocked 5K or hit confirms from 5K crouching hit. 5KP without finishing the string is also great option for consistent corner carry juggle combos.

5KPP

The last hit of 5KPP is an overhead that is great on block, ground bounces on ground hit and causes knockdown on air hit. Useful for setting up oki midscreen. If used as a blockstring, be aware of the gap between the second and third hits of 5KPP - a savvy opponent can interrupt it for a free punish, so try to not be too predictable with it.

First and second hits only combo on crouching, third hit does not combo at all.

5KPK

As the K ender launches on normal hit, this string is useful for launching a crouching opponent into a combo after hit confirming 5K.

First and second hits only combo on crouching. Full sequence will combo against a crouching opponent.

Third hit of 2PPK has the same animation as 2KPK but launches on normal hit instead of knocking down. Last hit is unsafe on block and will not combo on a standing opponent.

Ramlethal is airborne during the startup of the last hit, which can be RC'd to put Ramlethal in the air but very low to the ground, enabling a mixup: Following up with j.K for an overhead or 2D for a low.

The first of two potential sword swipes that Ram can set with her Deploy Sword move. The core of Ram's okizeme mixup game.

Using 6H or 6S causes one of the two familiars to do a tracking teleport to the opponent and attack once independently of Ram after a slight delay. The familiars will standby at the spot where they teleported initially until they are summoned again. Ramlethal can cancel the majority of her normals into a summon, as well as the second hit of combination attacks. While the swords are deployed, the properties of Ram's S and H normals are replaced.

While it may seem tempting to deploy an S sword as a neutral due to the large amount of space they cover, losing access to Ram's best normals in f.S and j.S is generally not worth the cost.

Ram generally requires spacing, a knockdown, or some sort of hit in order to safely set up Swords, as she is in counterhit state during the entire animation of deploying them. Additionally, Ram and the familiars can be hit during their initial summons or the attack startup, preventing the followup attack and making them fall to the ground before recovering. In the air, Ram can get away with summoning swords as it stalls her momentum, messing with the opponents' anti air timings. If used after a dashjump, Ram will retain a small amount of momentum upon deploying the 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.
While equipped, sword summons have less recovery.
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.

6S does a horizontal slash. Has better active frames than 6H and always appears in front of the opponent.

Staggers on counterhit.

6H does a downward vertical slash with the H sword. Appears above opponents.

The second of two potential sword swipes that Ram gains access to upon deploying a sword. Riskier to use, but has much higher reward.

Access to this move requires Ram to have deployed a sword with 6S or 6H. Rather than swiping horizontally or vertically, commanding the swords to perform this attack causes them to swipe at Ram's opponent with a rotation. 2S covers the ground while 2H covers the air. The swipes take longer to become active than the 6S/6H versions, but in exchange grant higher damage on hit, better frame advantage on block, and ability to pick up in certain combos.

2S (while the familiar/sword is deployed) does a clockwise spin with the sword. Slow to start up, but has a big hitbox.

Causes ground bounce on hit.

2H (while the familiar/sword is deployed) is similar to 2S, but instead does a counter-clockwise spin. Difficult to avoid and also causes the most blockstun out of all the deployed sword attacks due to its attack level. Great tool for controlling space in neutral against slower or less aggressive opponents, as losing access to H normals is not generally impactful at range. Leads to a corner carry combo on hit and especially on counter hit, making it a huge threat that either locks down the opponents or forces them to try to counter it.

A gap closing rush-in type of move that's minus on block but useful on hit.

Dauro is Ram's primary combo starter as it launches on hit and is used in nearly every one of her combos. While green Dauro launches higher and usually leads to more damage, both are useful in their own right as each can set up their own specific combos.

Curiously, Ramlethal instantly teleports forward the full distance of the move shortly after its startup begins (around frame 3 or 4), which can avoid some attacks or projetiles depending on spacing. Note that her hurtbox is always present during this movement.

-10. 214K's lengthy startup and distinctive animation makes easily interrupted on reaction. Even if Ram doesn't get outright anti aired, she actually lands before the hitbox becomes active, making it vulnerable to being thrown before she gets to take advantage of the plus frames.

On hit, it is rewarding however as Ram can get a combination attack followup to juggle the opponent into the corner with.

Air

j.214K can be TK'd into for quicker overheads while Ram is already close to the opponent where the evasive properties and forward movement aren't needed. Unlike the grounded version, the air version has very little forward momentum and overrides any air momentum, falling quickly towards the ground. Has some minor use in combos or air-to-air confirms after j.D to reach the ground faster at certain heights.

Both versions launch on normal hit for a combo.
Both versions knock down on hit if not followed up.

Fires a projectile at an upward angle.

Throw it out to end blockstrings safely or catch opponents trying to approach through the air, especially when the gameplan shifts to deploying swords and killing time for their recovery. Covers deployed H sword's vulnerability of being hit away as well.

Quick startup and large disjoint counterpoke that is used as a frametrap and combo filler.

Useful as a frametrap for opponents trying to mash after f.S. Generates a lot of Tension on hit and floats the opponent on counterhit for a full combo. Ram can perform this move when S sword is deployed, which will recall the sword to her before attacking at the cost of a much slower startup than the equipped version.

Can be special cancelled into Forpeli.

Long range disjointed strike. Usually cancelled into after Marteli in combos to build meter.

Reaches farther than Martelli and does more damage, but is noticeably worse on block. Generates a lot of tension on hit. Has situational use for when you need to retrieve the H sword while also throwing out a hitbox. Life Marteli, the recall version has significantly slower startup than equipped version.

A difficult to punish fullscreen beam super. Can only be used while both swords are equipped.

Used in situations where you either want to finish the opponent off or chip them out if they block from afar. Also depletes a significant portion of their meter if they FD in those situations.

Can be YRC'd after the super flash, allowing Ram to run up while the beam is active, if you want to sink 75 meter into this option.
Ram can get grabbed during the startup if you use it too close to an opponent.

8×30	All	9+17	129	Total 12

A highly active and plus on block super to lock the opponent down for a mixup. Can only be used when both swords have been deployed.

Activating this overdrive causes both placed swords to appear in front of Ramlethal, join together and start spinning forward. The swords are thus relocated to where the overdrive ended. Hits 30 times, keeps the opponent blocking long enough for at least 1 jump-in mixup. Is sometimes used at the end of combos from an OTG state for the kill.

Swords disappear if Ramlethal is hit before the move becomes active.

0,4×14,80	All	7+1	18	24	-32	1～10 Full

Ram's only frame 1 invincible attack with fast startup and high active frames.

Rushes forward so it can be used to get out of the corner if they jump over it. Can see occasional use as a combo finisher since Ram can combo into this even from OTG as it activates the animation.
