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

Can throw projectiles at the opponent with no significant hurtbox extensions.
Actually insane normals that convert to damage and corner carry.
Corner combos are very difficult to burst.

Throwing projectiles means that she's deadly vulnerable when the opponent dodges them.
Has actually big hurtboxes for her size.

Used Swords

Returning Sword

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.

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. Mostly blockstring and combo filler, but has decent frame advantage for stagger pressure if you're feeling brave.

Data in [] refers to when S sword is unequipped.
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.

Data in [] refers to when H sword is unequipped.
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.

Upper-body invulnerable.

Ramlethal's most reliable anti-air. Blasts the opponent away on air connect, but leaves standing if it hits a grounded opponent. Doesn't have enough hitstun to combo into 214P, so confirm into Dauro instead for a bit more damage and corner carry.

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.

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.
