Overview

Overview

Ramlethal is a mid-ranged brigadier who controls neutral with her massive swords. She can also expend her swords in order to shoot them as projectiles to dominate the corner.

Key to Ramlethal’s mid-ranged domination is her f.S and 5H. They are disjointed, quite fast and have massive range. At closer ranges, she can pressure with her swift 5K and her three-hit rekka A series of special attacks that are only available after the first one is performed., Erarlumo, of which the first two hits are dash cancelable. Her air control is also great; j.S is basically an aerial version of f.S, and j.H has a huge vertical hitbox, making it an excellent jump-in attack.

Ramlethal can apply suffocating corner pressure with Bajoneto, a projectile attack that fires a sword. The sword explodes if it hits a wall, which can extend blockstrings or lead to powerful wallbreak combos. However, when fired, the swords take time to return. Without swords, her S and H buttons are significantly weakened. The swords can be retrieved quickly by walking over the spot they landed. At the corner, she can shoot her swords to great extent, as she can pick them up while pressuring the opponent or even during a combo.

Generally, it’s best to only shoot swords off of confirms or for corner pressure in order to not risk losing them. There are exceptions though, for example, the Calvados overdrive retrieves both swords. With 50% Tension, you have the option of playing fast and loose with sword projectiles, just to take them back again. Before expending swords, weigh your options carefully.

Ramlethal is blessed with amazing buttons, outstanding corner pressure and an adorable puppy on her win screen! What else could you ask for?

 Ramlethal Valentine is an incredibly well-rounded character who boasts an exceptional midrange game and relentless corner pressure.
Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Giant normals and excellent dash speed to force opponents back and safely push them towards the corner.
  • Looping pressure from anywhere, with an aggressively high-reward corner pressure.
  • Versatile and extensive combos accessible from almost any hit.
  • Simple to learn basics, with an easy-to-understand moveset and gameplan.
  • Simple design on many specials which gives less moves to explore new approaches.
  • Pressure that doesn't provide many mixups or set-ups, instead relying on strong RPS Rock Paper ScissorsA situation wherein an attacker and a defender have options that only beat certain responses from their opponent. For example, on wakeup a defending opponent may use a reversal to stop an attacker from using an attack, but the attacker can also block to defeat the reversal. If the attacker blocks, the defender can use the opportunity to take the offensive..
  • Advanced pressure and combos requiring frequent use of a precise dash kara cancel tech.


Unique Mechanic: Brigadier Swords
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.

Ramlethal's fastest Abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it., and a quick, defensive anti-air.

Being only 5F startup, reversal 5P will defeat Tick Throw A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from.s, and its high-hitting reach is good for attacking airborne opponents mid-pressure or as a quick response to deep-hitting air-to-ground attacks with good reward on hit. On grounded Counter Hit, it can also link into 5K and c.S, for better damage and okizeme.

Due to its very short range, with even less on crouching opponents, pressure can easily outspace 5P, and it is rarely useful for RPS Rock Paper ScissorsA situation wherein an attacker and a defender have options that only beat certain responses from their opponent. For example, on wakeup a defending opponent may use a reversal to stop an attacker from using an attack, but the attacker can also block to defeat the reversal. If the attacker blocks, the defender can use the opportunity to take the offensive. or neutral, unless already at point-blank range. However, on block it is a good Tick Throw for its fast recovery, and safe blockstring with 5P > 6P > 214P.

Fast close-range poke and frametrap tool, and Ramlethal's abare and punish against spaced pressure.

With its fast speed, low recovery, and good range this is one of Ramlethal's safest attacks when 2S is too slow to stop an opponent. It is the standard frametrap after an opponent blocks Bajoneto HGGST Ramlethal Valentine Bajoneto H.pngGuardAllStartup20RecoveryTotal 43Advantage+3, or is hit by DauroGGST Ramlethal Valentine Dauro.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery26Advantage-10, thanks to its fast startup and good range. Unfortunately, quite weak at its far range, as 5K cannot combo into 2D unless very close and has no completely safe moves. On block, ErarlumoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Dauro.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery26Advantage-10 loses to 6P and DauroGGST Ramlethal Valentine Dauro.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery26Advantage-10 is unsafe on block. However thanks to its low recovery it functions well for disrupting an opponent to get back to her preferred mid-range distance.

When used as a punish, 5K hits from considerable range, but unless very close is only able to confirm into Dauro, for a +5 advantage. It can also be used to disrupt slower attacks from a distance, where 5P and 2P cannot reach.

  • Jump cancelable.
  • Ramlethal's highest damage starter.
  • Low pushback, c.S will leave Ram close enough for another c.S.

Mostly used in blockstrings for its wide range of gatlings, such as a delayed 2S to catch jumps and 6H for a 3 frame frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own., or in combos. However, there are situations where this can function as an anti air for people directly above you. Long active frames also make this a great meaty, as it's easy to run up and establish pressure from farther knockdowns and increase its frame advantage on closer ones.

The mother of all pokes, very disjointed, with unparalleled range and speed, and safe on block. The central defining feature of Ramlethal's neutral.

Able to outspeed, outrange, or disjoint-crush any other poke, only weak to 6P or IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump. Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump. jump-ins on read. Combined, these make it extremely easy for Ramlethal to attack opponents from a safe distance. The only drawback is f.S fails to confirm into any knockdown unless within the short ErarlumoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Erarlumo 1.pngGuardAllStartup16Recovery12Advantage-5 range, meaning despite its relative lack of risk it can be a little harder to get significant reward.

With high pushback and always safely confirming into 5H at any range, Ramlethal can personally push an opponent too far out of range to challenge her, and gradually cornering them. Additionally Ramlethal's f.S > 5H string builds high amounts of R.I.S.C., meaning even without dealing damage she quickly sets up for devastating damage from neutral.

  • If H sword equipped then can be used as frametrap before 214P, 236S and 236H without delay.
  • Data in [] refers to when H sword is unequipped.
  • More rewarding on counterhit than f.S.

A poke with slightly more reach than f.S; this gives it good utility as a check against opponents attempting to dash in after a f.S is blocked using the delay cancel properties of the move, this then forces the opponent to respect a blocked midrange f.S more often.

When in the corner attempting to use 236H, 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. On counterhit, Ramlethal can combo into 214K and link off that into a combo.

This is part of the reason that misusing 236H is so bad for Ramlethal, as f.S is significantly less scary as a poke without 5H to enforce afterwards to stop opponents from dash blocking in.

Universal overhead attack. Tapping D gives a fast but weak overhead, while holding down D with give a much slower but much more powerful strike.


Uncharged Dust Attack

A very weak overhead mixup, only for use with 50% Tension.

On its own, almost useless, lacking advantage on hit, cannot combo on Counter Hit, and is extremely unsafe on block. When backed by RRC, or used after BRC, this becomes a practical mixup able to combo on hit and retains pressure on block, being a practical utility for Tension generated in pressure.

Uniquely, Ramlethal can perform 236H > 5K > 5D for a gapless overhead, being much safer than a standard gatling which opens a slight gap for backdashes and invincible reversals. However, it is impossible for uncharged Dust Attack to practically meterlessly combo or be safe on block using Bajoneto's explosion, making this still reliant on Tension.


Charged Dust Attack

On-hit, holding 8 will activate Homing Jump for a large combo opportunity.

Slow and unsafe but highly rewarding overhead. Very impractical once an opponent is ready to react to it.

By contrast to the uncharged version, charged Dust Attack can fully combo meterlessly for high damage. However, it is very reactable with a bright orange telegraph, and still unsafe when blocked. Additionally, Ramlethal only has setups to frametrap into a charged Dust Attack, meaning an opponent does not even nessecarily need react.

  • Ramlethal's fastest low.
  • Worse starter than 5K, some combos that start from 5K will not work from 2K.

This button is second only to 5P in terms of abare. The low hurtbox works wonders in mashing out of your opponent's strings and the frame advantage is pretty good too. 2K also sees a lot of use in corner pressure as it has enough range to frame trap after a sequence like c.S > 236H. In addition to this, 2K can be used as a sneaky run in tool due to Ramlethals fast dash speed and the pressure she gets afterward with 2K > 2D > 214P

Mostly a defensive normal, great to catch dashes with. You'll mostly be using this to check approaches that f.S is weak to (specifically low profile moves). Hits low but 2K is far better as a high/low mixup tool. Unlike 2K, it can be used after c.S and make her strike/throw game scarier. It also has more range than 2D at the cost of lower reward.

This is Ramlethal's primary launcher, but it can also make for a high risk/high reward pre-emptive anti-air.

  • 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. 6P will combo into 214P anywhere, letting Ram secure knockdowns off of her P buttons. On air connect, 6P will combo into 623P for a juggle. It's only real downside is that the horizontal range is lacking due to how the move animates.

Mostly relegated to combo filler and frame traps due to how long the startup is. The framedata on this move is genuinely horrendous so it should only be used when it can be safely cancelled into something else. 6H will combo from 5K on an airborne opponent, but will drop if they're grounded. Ramlethal mostly uses this as a way to get a launch close to the corner, as it provides more upfront corner carry and damage compared to 2H.

F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. setups with exploding swords, but not quite enough blockstun to work on its own as a jump-in.

Ramlethal's throw also gives you the option to OTG anywhere with 214H and 632146H (along with 236236S in the corner) for more damage and to potentially seal a round. Be careful as OTG 214H is unsafe on hit. Weirdly enough, OTG 236236S will not break the wall.

Grounded combo ender at a far range to maintain advantage, and a risky pressure-ending frametrap.

Useful for confirming from the far-range of 5K and 2K, and mid-range of f.S > 5H, ending close enough with enough advantage to frametrap into 2K. On block however, it is very unsafe, and gives no reward without Counter Hit or air hit, making it rarely ever worth using unless backed up by a Roman Cancel. At closer ranges it is much better to confirm into ErarlumoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Erarlumo 1.pngGuardAllStartup16Recovery12Advantage-5. Not particularly useful in neutral, reaching approximately the same range as 5H, with no major advantages.

Serves a major role as a combo extender with its high vertical launch, allowing extensions into 5K or c.S, leading to large and easy combos near the corner. However this is largely dependant on Combo Decay, meaning it will not work from all starters.

  • Floating crumple on grounded hit, leaving Ramlethal +5 but the opponent can block. On Counter Hit able to perform a true combo for up to 11F.

A powerful Rekka A series of special attacks that are only available after the first one is performed. for decent midscreen knockdowns, granting sizable Tension, chip damage, corner carry, and R.I.S.C., with rewarding frametraps.

Individually each attack acts as a basic frametrap. By Kara Cancel A type of cancel where the beginning of an action is quickly canceled into another before the first action completes its startup.ing from the Dash Cancel of the first and second attacks, it is possible to cancel back into the first attack, creating a self-sustaining pressure loop. Once near the corner, these can also be kara cancelled into Bajoneto HGGST Ramlethal Valentine Bajoneto H.pngGuardAllStartup20RecoveryTotal 43Advantage+3 to immediately begin corner pressure and continue the onslaught. Due to the high reward on Counter Hits, it becomes dangerous for an opponent to mash, allowing Ramlethal to continue to gain resources for even more reward on hit, and access Roman Cancels to keep the loop going.


Erarlumo 1 (214P)

The beginning of pressure setplay and an easy way to gain an advantage at midscreen. Most pokes at close-range will safely blockstring into Erarlumo 1. While cancelling from 5P/2P and 5K/2K is unsafe to 6P attacks, the use of 6P and 2D will allows safe blockstrings, and it can take advantage of opponents anticipating dangerous frametraps like 6H.

Uniquely weak if Instant Blocked as no follow-up can frametrap a Throw and the move naturally advances into Throw range, requiring either 50% Tension or a kara cancel into whiffing Sildo DetruoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Sildo Detruo.pngGuardAllStartup22Recovery17Advantage-2.


Erarlumo 2 (214P~214P)

A simple pressure extender, maintaining the option to reset into Erarlumo 1, but with riskier frametrap options due to Erarlumo 3 being unsafe. By delaying the attack, you open a punishable gap, but will receive substantially more reward on hit, and better resources on block, making it a good option to punish delayed abare.

Characters with access to frame 10 or faster invincible attacks (e.g. Sol 623SGGST Sol Badguy 623X.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery18+10 LandingAdvantage-28) can do an option select to escape Earlmuro pressure. Earlmuro 2 itself is -10 on block, negative enough for a punish with a most reversal attacks. Attempts of a frame trap or dash-cancelled special will make you eat a counter-hit. Empty dash cancelling will leave you extremely minus. Be prepared to bait or safely continue pressure with RC.

  • Delayed version deals additional blockstun, launches on ground hit, and launches higher on air hit.

Erarlumo 3 (214P~214P~214P)

Rewarding pressure ender with full combo potential on Counter Hit and delayed hits, but with no cancels at all, this is extremely punishable on block. When backed with 50% Tension to make it safe on block, it becomes extremely dangerous for an opponent to risk the frametrap. Furthermore, a delayed Counter Hit is Ramlethal's single biggest combo confirm, resulting in a very short round.

Erarlumo makes a decent combo ender, with good damage, huge corner carry, and alright okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups..

  • Ground bounces into a soft knockdown on hit. Delayed version bounces much higher, for longer, with less horizontal launch.

  • Erarlumo 1 and 2 are Dash cancelable. The dash cancel can kara cancel into all specials except Sabrobato, including Erarlumo 1.

A slow pressure reset and advancing low crush with remarkable range, and can bait anti-airs from the air.

Can be used from almost any distance to continue pressure, even after 5H and Faultless Defense, usually followed with a 2K to frametrap on block and combo on hit. Its extremely slow startup makes it very vulnerable to anti-airs using 5P/5K and very risky for its relatively low value on block. With a little dash momentum,it reaches about 75% screen distance, making it a large advancing attack in neutral to avoid low pokes while establishing pressure, but its slow speed and lacking reach to anti-air an opponent makes it relatively narrow in utility.

The air version can be used to alter Ramlethal's air trajectory, allowing her to bait and punish anti-air attacks including 6P attacks. Unfortunately it cannot confirm into any attack, making it relatively low reward. While generally safe on block, its slow startup makes it very open to strong anti-airs like 2H attacks if the opponent has not whiffed an attack already.

  • Ground version ground bounces and wall bounces on air hit, air version does not.
  • Air version knocks down on hit, while ground version is forced crouching on hit, allowing a confirm into 2K.

Primary corner combo filler and the backbone of corner pressure, when used in the corner the sword will explode after a short moment, giving automatic combos on hit and reset pressure when blocked.

When the H version is blocked in the corner at close-range, such as after c.S, Ramlethal can frametrap into her 5K or 2K, and will have time to perform a Tick Throw A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from.. Ramlethal can also safely bait invincible reversals, and if the opponent attempts to escape they must either jump out or run significantly far forward. If the opponent does not move, the follow-up explosion will leave her extremely advantaged and able to run back to point-blank to loop the pessure, keeping the risk low and the reward high.

The S version and its explosion will always whiff on crouching opponents. However, it can be used after the H version to force an opponent back into the corner if they attempt to jump or dash out of the explosion, while maintaining a safe distance, further extending Ramlethal's safe corner pressure.

Both versions double as some of the most powerful projectiles in the game, defeating almost any non-Overdrive projectile on clash, with enormous corner carry on hit, and is extremely advantaged on block. However, outside of the corner, the opportunity cost of spending either sword is usually so high the move becomes self-detrimental, and is only used in some rare scenarios.

  • Launches the corresponding sword when used. The sword will be unequipped until it is picked up, affecting many of Ramlethal's moves. It can be picked back up, or will gradually return to Ramlethal after 6 seconds.
  • If the sword projectile hits the wall, it will stick into the wall and explode after a short delay, placing onto the ground after the explosion.
  • Attempting to launch a sword that has already been launched will result in a whiff animation.
  • If Ramlethal is hit after launching a sword, the sword will immediately be placed into the ground at its current location.
  • The S version staggers on hit, while the H version launches backwards.

Strongest meterless wallbreak for its huge damage, and a ginormous attack for catching an opponent off-guard from afar, but is extremely risky if it fails.

Reaching over 80% of the screen, Sabrobato is almost impossible to whiff. Combined with its barely-reactable speed makes it a sudden threat for an opponent that may be using projectiles at range or backdashing away for distance. Unfortunately, it is incredibly bad if blocked, and unlike similar styles of attack, it isn't very fast and can be blocked standing, making it a weak neutral tool. It is best used with 50% Tension for an RRC, to safely confirm into pressure on block, and combo on hit.

(NoteThe square with a yellow underline indicates the first frame that you can Roman Cancel and maintain the projectile.)

The single highest damage combo ender in the game, scaling incredibly well no matter how weak the combo started.

In contrast to Mortobato, Calvados is much higher damage, especially in long combos. As a trade-off, its huge number of hits means the opponent will recieve as much as a third of their Burst gauge back. This means it can have implications on future rounds if Mortobato was already a lethal strike, and is much better if the opponent has maintained their Burst gauge.

In pressure, Calvados is a niche pressure reset, similar to a Roman Cancel, but grants both swords back, deals chip damage, and guard crushes the opponent. Unfortunately, it cannot be used from Ramlethal's unsafe attacks like Erarlumo 3GGST Ramlethal Valentine Erarlumo 3.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery38Advantage-25, SabrobatoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Sabrubato.pngGuardAllStartup19Recovery42Advantage-27 [-27] {-32}, DauroGGST Ramlethal Valentine Dauro.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery26Advantage-10, or Dust AttackGGST Ramlethal Valentine 5D.pngGuardHighStartup20Recovery27Advantage-15, rendering it redundant unless the swords are mismanaged. It is also unsafe if too close to the opponent, and far more expensive than fast-cancelled Roman Cancels, while offering similar pressure.

While Calvados deals heavy chip damage, it is comparatively cheap to FD block the entire attack. Furthermore, an opponent can mash Instant Blocks to mitigate some damage, gain Tension, and generate Tension Pulse (functionally giving them even more Tension). In neutral it is also very easy to jump, punishing Ramlethal from considerable distance and mitigating almost the entire attack from afar.

While this move has plenty of negatives, it is useful if you're attacking from afar with BajonetoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Bajoneto H.pngGuardAllStartup20RecoveryTotal 43Advantage+3, since it will refresh your swords. Additionally, since the explosions cause launch on hit, you can attack with Calvados while they are falling.

Even if this isn't the best way to use 100% meter it is still pretty fun if you pull it off right, and can also deal massive damage while inflicting suffering upon the opponent for their mistake of forgetting the explosion.
