Normal Moves

5P

• 

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be blocked.	StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame.	ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup.	RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled.	On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent.	Invuln

• Tall hitbox makes this a good anti-air in a pinch.
• Can link into 5K in juggles.

Low risk/low reward pressure normal.

• Good midrange poke for when the opponent is too close for f.S or 5H.
• Combos into 2D, but not at max range.

• Causes a float state on hit.
• Ramlethal's highest damage starter.

Not very likely you'll get this as anything other than a DP punish because of its short range.

f.S

• GGST Ramlethal Valentine f.S.png

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be blocked.	StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame.

• Amazing normal. The gatling into 5H is the icing on the cake.
• Difficult to whiff punish.

This is the warcrimes button. f.S is your go-to midrange check as you can hit confirm with 5H and decide what to do from there.

• Not as good as its cousin, but another excellent normal.

Ideally you're using this at the range where you don't have to cancel into a sword throw to keep it safe. You only really want to use a sword throw if you're close to the corner to pick up a combo. Losing access to f.S is not a price you want to pay.

• One frame slower than 5P.

5P's crouching cousin. Not as good as a last-minute anti-air, and still doesn't lead to much reward. Use 5P instead.

• Does not allow for a combo on grounded hit, but confirms a full combo on air hit.

Not useful for loops anymore, but still a great juggle extender. You don't want your opponent to block this.

• Follow ups are powered up if delayed.
• Data in [] refers to delayed versions.
• First 214P can be dash cancelled on hit.

ArcSys took away Ram's Tekken strings and gave her this instead. Pretty useful for combos, but too unsafe to be reliably used in pressure. If you do try to frame trap someone with this, the first follow-up will stagger on counterhit, and the second follow up ground bounces.

• Using Bajoneto means the corresponding sword will be launched.
• Launched swords will have a delay before they can be used again.
• Launched swords can also be picked up to shorten their downtime.
• Attempting to launch a sword that has already been launched will result in a whiff animation.
• S sword is the top one, H sword is the bottom

Ram's primary corner combo filler. Launched swords explode when they make contact in the corner, which lets Ramlethal do some RPS between running up with a button/throw or whiff punishing your opponent pressing something. Running up is extra beneficial in that you can pick up the swords and start pressuring all over again.
