GGST/Ramlethal Valentine

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. 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 and 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?

Lore:

She is a "Valentine," a life form created in the image of humanity.

In accordance with the orders from her mother implanted in her memories, she declared war against humanity.

However, through her interactions with Sol and everyone, she came to know emotion, and eventually became an ally to mankind.

Playstyle

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. Extreme wall damage: Bajoneto allows Ramlethal to get off extremely high damage combos from almost any hit whenever she is near the wall.	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. Rare Midscreen Knockdowns: Ramlethal cannot reliably secure knockdowns from midscreen hits without meter due to her small sweep. Most of the time, getting hit by f.S means you'll only get hit by a 5H when her back is close to the wall.

Brigadier Swords

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.

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

Low risk/low reward pressure normal. It also makes a surprisingly good anti-air if the opponent is right above Ram, and in those cases it's generally possible to link into 5K for a Dauro confirm. Otherwise, pushback will only allow two jabs until 6P > Dauro stops working.

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

This is Ramlethal's main close-up neutral tool and punish for options like Potemkin's Hammer Fall. c.S is too short, f.S is too slow, and 2D has both issues. Cancel into Dauro for a basic confirm and to maintain advantage on hit, but take care to make sure you don't do it on block. This move has a lot more combo applications in juggles than on grounded connect.

Ramlethal's highest damage starter.

Mostly used in blockstring or in combos however there are situations where this can function as an anti air for people directly above you. Even though the move is -2 on block it makes a decent tool for stagger pressure due to the fear of sword pressure. 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.

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

f.S is your go-to midrange check as you can hit confirm with 5H and decide what to do from there. You get a lot more reward off this in the corner thanks to Bajoneto's explosion.

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.

Uncharged Dust

Uncharged dust on-hit is 0 or neutral frame advantage and causes float
Causes 80% proration on-hit

Universal overhead attack that's pretty fast. Using RC will allow this attack to continue into further pressure or convert into a full combo. It's also useful for certain corner combos. Can be gatling from 5K, 2K, or c.S for a mixup.

Charged Dust

Data in [] represents values when fully charged.
Charged dust leads to soft knockdown (+36).
Holding up during the hitstop frames of charged dust will activate homing jump:
- Doing a homing jump will cause an area shift and put the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state.
- Pressing any attack twice without jump/dash cancel will activate the homing jump finisher causing a hard knockdown (+23).
- Homing jump combos can sometimes increase meter balance enough to activate positive bonus.

Similar to uncharged but is slow enough to be reacted to, but if it does land it gives a very high damaging combo. Much like uncharged it's also used in corner combos.

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 unless it counterhits, so confirm into Dauro instead for a bit more damage and corner carry.

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.

Will not combo from max range pokes.
Very strong against moves that low profile f.S and 5H.

Very small for a 2D. You will spend a lot of time cursing out its lack of range. That said, if it does land you can either get good oki or a damaging combo with a Dauro launch. Successfully counterhitting a low-profile move like Stroke the Big Tree or NRV gives Ramlethal an absolutely devastating combo, especially in comparison to using 2S in the same situation.

Jump in of the ~~gods~~ mortals.

Once this lands, you have to choose immediately what you're doing next due to the high pushback. This move no longer hits crouching opponents while rising due to a hitbox nerf, which also means you as the player must use a little more discretion when jumping in with it.

Useful for comboing into grounded moves.

Despite what the animation and effect might imply, this does not hit behind Ram so it is unfortunately not a cross-up tool. Instead, it just covers the space in front of and slightly above Ram. If you can land this on an aerial opponent when they are very close and slightly above you while you are descending you can follow up with some of Ram's faster grounded options after landing, such as 5K.

Gives a manually timed safejump midscreen and setups in the corner with swords/meter.

A pretty good throw, all things considered. A short dash into a forward jump j.H will safejump reversals and catch buttons if timed correctly. In the corner, you can OTG c.S and IAD j.H for a better, autotimed safejump. 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.

- Can also extend combos after a counterhit f.S or 5H by linking into 2K > Dauro.
Launches high enough to link after on airborne opponents, but not in scaled combos.

Grounded combo ender that leaves you at advantage. You can follow-up on air hit with fast attacks like 2K to extend combos. It's punishable on block, so don't autopilot into it. Combining Dauro with 66.RC lets Ramlethal quickly close space and is vital for midrange f.S > 5H confirms. Dauro's launch height is highly affected by combo scaling, meaning it won't extend combos out of starters like 2K > 2D or Throw > RRC.

First and second rekka can be dash canceled.
Special canceling into anything will always have 2f gap at least (so since ver 1.10 it cannot be gapless).

214P

Dash cancelable on hit with -16 frame advantage and this dash will force Counter state.
- 2K > 2D > 214P dash cancel leads to the same frame advantage as 623P.

ArcSys took away Ramlethal's Tekken strings and gave her this instead. Pretty useful for combos, but too unsafe to be reliably used in pressure. Does not lead to anything on counterhit outside of the second rekka.

214P > 214P

Dash cancelable on hit with -13 frame advantage and this dash will force Counter state.
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.
Delayed rekka frametrap can be avoided with backdash or DPs.

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

214P > 214P > 214P

Launches higher and deals more damage if delayed from 214P.
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 gives a hard knockdown in return. While it is manually timed, Ram can safejump after this from anywhere on the screen with a dash jump.

Can sideswitch at close range, but it will leave Ramlethal too far for the move to connect.
- 214K and j.214K have different collision boxes.
Too slow to combo out of grounded hits and generally hard to combo into in general.
Knocks down on hit.

Generally too slow to accomplish anything. Your opponent will usually be able to punish this with a throw or 6P. Can be RC-ed on block into RRC > 2D or 88.RRC~j.P or j.K. Extremely situational pressure tool after a far range 5H.

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.
takes about 6 seconds for swords to start to come back
Both versions of explode can be beaten with 6P or any other low-profile move, if timed properly.
Due to the fact that near the corner the swords are driven deeper into the wall - the hitbox of the explosion becomes less wide.
It's possible to loop your combo in the corner until a wall break with: (>) Explosion > Dash > (on explosion) 5K/c.S > 6H > 236H > Repeat

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.

As amazing as this move is, there are two general rules to abide by when using it:

Never use it when you cannot see the corner.
Never shoot both swords at once if your opponent has any chance to escape.

There are some exceptions to these rules like going for the kill or using meter, but losing Ram's biggest poking mormals is a huge price to pay. The worst position Ram can be in is having neither sword.

30,30 [24,30] [30,24] {24,24}	All	12	4(10)4	24	-	-

Damage assumes both swords are equipped.
[] refers to one sword and {} is empty handed.
- If S sword is not equipped, the first hit will be weakened with reduced range and the second hit will have a gap.
- If H sword is not equipped, the second hit will be weakened and have reduced range.
- If neither sword is equipped, then both hits will be the weaker version.
First hit launches and gives a hard knockdown on grounded opponents.

Good aerial poke due to its range and providing knockdown on aerial opponents. Also useful for following up faster, less committal air-to-air normals to secure knockdown. The first hit launches a grounded opponent for a hard knockdown. Usually this is high enough for the second hit to connect, but you still get a hard knockdown if it whiffs.

Cannot be cancelled into.
The absence of the 1st sword doesn't change the hitbox, but the absence of both will make it narrower and shorter.

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.

4×29,40	All (Guard Crush)	11+13	-	-	+16	-

Returns swords to Ramlethal, no matter their position.
Deals heavy chip damage if not FD'd, but this does not mean you want this blocked. You will get punished hard for it so it's probably not worth it.
RC-able for a nearly invisible (but expensive) mixup.

Guaranteed to deal 30 damage at low health, making this super a great way to deal with characters with high guts. Be careful if you try to snipe someone fullscreen as projectiles can trade and knock you out of the super. Any competent opponent will either FD the super and take no chip or jump over it and punish you, or FD it and punish you anyway because of the extreme recovery of this move.

Will almost always do more damage than Mortobato as a finisher in the corner, but it also builds a lot of burst-meter for the opponent.

Hitbox changes depending on what swords are equipped.
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. Decent super to break the wall with because of its high damage, but Calvados will almost always do more while building a lot of burst-meter for the opponent.

While a risky super it's surprisingly safe if blocked in the air because of the pushback. If it does hit against airborne you can OTG with 214H.
