Overview
Overview

Ramlethal is a risk-reward character who must constantly weigh her options between keeping her two powerful swords to dominate the neutralgame, or throwing them as excellent high-damage projectiles that dominate in the corner, but in turn losing access to her long-range normals. With swords, Ramlethal excels in the neutralgame, having some of the longest and quickest normals in the game, and once you've cornered the opponent or opened them up, she can spend her swords to apply high damage wallbreak combos or near-inescapable corner pressure. Ramlethal's swords, when thrown, take a set amount of time to return to her unless walked over, if which they return immediately. This allows Ramlethal to use her swords to great extent when near the corner as she can pick them right back up while continuing to pressure the opponent. Its important to note that Ramlethal's "Calvados" super returns both of her swords to her, meaning that once you reach 50% tension, it is a legitimate strategy to play fast and loose with the sword projectile, just to take them back for free.

In order to play Ram effectively, you must constantly weigh your options and decide whether or not you are in a position where you can afford potentially losing your swords or not before you use them. Generally though, you want to keep your swords in neutral and spend them only off of confirms or once you make it into the corner, but there are always exceptions.

 Ramlethal Valentine  Ramlethal Valentine , classified as a Shooting type, is a Brigadier who controls the mid-range with her two swords.

Pros
Cons
  • Insane Midrange: f.S and 5H are some of the longest buttons in the game, and are complemented by Bajoneto being a disjointed and highly plus on block fireball.
  • Suffocating Corner Pressure: being in the corner allows for Ramlethal to mitigate the downtime of her sword normals after Bajoneto. Launched swords also have a secondary explosion when they reach the corner, letting Ramlethal easily re-assert her turn.
  • Hard to Burst: Ramlethal's large normals mean it's likely bursts will whiff against her. The explosions from Bajoneto will also catch stray bursts, and the height she sticks the opponent at on the wall usually means finding a safe burst point is incredibly difficult.
  • Double-Edged Swords: Using Bajoneto will lock Ramlethal out of one (or both) of her best poking tools, and she must wait for the corresponding to return until she can use them again.
  • Lacking Full-Screen Presence: Outside of Bajoneto and its aforementioned downsides, Ramlethal's only other fullscreen option is an overdrive. Both require a resource and must be carefully managed.
  • Difficulty Securing Knockdowns: Ramlethal cannot reliably secure knockdowns from midscreen hits without meter due to her small sweep. (It's not much of a con because this is not an issue in the corner.)
Ramlethal is built around her two familiars and the large swords they carry for her. Her S button and H button moves are mapped to one of her two swords, and using Bajoneto will launch them. Launched swords change the properties of her moves that use either one or both of her swords. The swords will return to Ramlethal after a delay, but can also be picked up by walking or dashing over them.

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

Slightly more reach than f.S, very rare that f.S will hit and 5H will whiff. f.S > 5H on block will push your opponent about a half-screen distance away, so only confirm into 236H sword throw if you're near enough to the corner to get a combo off it.

214P
  • Dash cancelable on hit with -10 frame advantage and this dash will force Counter state.

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.

  • Launches higher and deals more damage if delayed from 214P.
  • Data in [] refers to the delayed version.
  • Staggers on hit and long enough on counter hit to link after.

Can be used as a frame trap after the first version, but its frame advantage makes it a much higher risk than is generally worth taking.

  • Data in [] refers to the delayed version.
  • Hard knockdown on hit, allowing for decent oki in the corner if it doesn't break the wall.
  • Ground bounces on counter hit, allowing for a follow-up juggle.

Last rekka in the sequence and also the most minus. High recovery but ground bounces into a hard knockdown in return.

  • 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.

  • Damage assumes both swords are equipped.

  • Cannot be cancelled into.

This is your prime wallbreak move outside supers due to its high damage. Reaches about 3/4 of the screen with both swords equipped. While it can catch opponents off guard, it is extremely punishable on block and whiff even at maximum range. Should seldom, if ever, be used in neutral especially if you don't have enough tension to RC the move's long recovery.

  • Invincible from frame 1.

Ramlethal's only reversal, but quite a good one at that. Launches the opponent about half screen and will break the wall if the opponent hits it while rising. This is also Ramlethal's primary walkbreak super if the opponent is above 50% health, as Calvados is much better for burning through guts.
