Overview

The merciless apocalypse from the backyard from XRD -SIGN-, has since turned a new leaf and is now viewing life in a completely different perspective. Ramlethal can fight using her two giant swords equipped or by setting them up to attack separately. Deployed swords can be used to control space in neutral, force the opponent to block after a knockdown or as part of blockstrings to keep them pinned down so Ramlethal can go for mixups. Interestingly, while her S and HS normals are assigned to her swords for the sake of massive normals and setplay, her P and K normals work very much like that of attack strings seen in 3-D fighters. A very unique character.

 Ramlethal Valentine  Ramlethal Valentine specializes in juggling opponents into the corner and locking them down with summoned swords and deadly mix-ups.

Pros
Cons
  • Good Pokes: Strong and decently far reaching normals when equipped with swords (f.S, 5HS). Can be toggled for zoning/mixups/pressure etc.
  • Really Strong Corner Okizeme Game: One of the best consistent okizeme corner Game.
  • High Potential to Corner Carry: Midscreen combos have good corner carry.
  • Good Meter Gain from Sword Moves: Equipped swords grant big meter gain (f.S, 2S, 6S, 2S (Deployed), 5H, 2H, 6H, 2H (Deployed).
  • Several Burst Safe Points: Has access to several efficient ways of baiting bursts in combos. (4p[x], 5D)
  • Great Checkmate Potential: Good at closing out rounds with strong guts-crush combos and supers. (4p[x], 2363214K Explode, 632146H Calvados or Trance)
  • Cool Hat: Has a really cool hat.
  • Poor normals: Sworded Normals without swords equipped are not as strong as with equipped
  • Lack of proper gatlings: Hard to apply any real pressure outside of the corner.
  • Neutral game is weak: Due to lack of many useful normals or specials.
  • Instability in certain situations: Sometimes has issues safely confirming into combos and scoring strong knockdowns outside of the corner.
  • Untraditonal Meter Gain: Equipped sword normals are her ONLY way to gain meter through normals.
  • Burst Building Combos: While long combos are a plus, it also means opponents build meter and burst fast when combo'd from her higher beat confirms.
  • Garanteed Burst Points: While she does have good burst safe points. Some Moves in combos are Garanteed Burst Points that you cannot do anything about without meter. (623P Both Dauros on normal hit, 5D6 for example.)
  • Low Health: Below average effective health.

Ramlethal is able to set Calvados familiars on the screen from which she can swing her swords.

Familiars will rest in the background wherever Ramlethal set them until she attempts to swing a sword using them. During the startup of the sword swing, the familiars become vulnerable and can be killed by the enemy player. When a familiar is set, Ramlethal is no longer able to use the sword corresponding to that familiar until either the familiar is used to swing the sword, or until the familiar is killed.

Ramlethal's normals change when used in specific sequences.

Much like moves from Tekken, Ramlethal's normals change when they are used in a specific pattern. For instance, using P will give one attack, but pressing PP will grant a different attack on the second button press. These sequences grant Ramletahal pre-built mixups.

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
  • Ramlethal's fastest normal, has poor reach but is positive on block.
  • Whiffs on crouching Millia, Faust and Jack-0.
  • Great for baiting bursts.
  • Can chain into itself and other normals by using 4P as the input.
  • 5P is also one of her fastest and simplest ways to get knockdown with either 2KK of 2KPK as enders.

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
  • Farthest reaching ground normal that doesn't rely on S sword to be equipped. Very sightly inches itself forward.
  • Lacks reward on hit (without strings) but due to its attack level, startup and range, its a good a normal to cancel into sword summon or recall.
  • Chains into 6K.
  • Combos into her basic strings, not jump cancel-able.

5K seems similar to others character's 5Ks on the surface, but due to Ramlethal's nature, it fits more in-line with a normal from a 3-D fighter. She cant get too much reward off of it alone, such as a basic knockdown or being able to jump cancel it, but she has followup options that can be pretty rewarding both on block and hit. It cannot cancel into other normals, but is part of an overall combination of strings (see below). Use this move if you don't have equipped far slash and need a poke.

Go-to move due to it not having the limitations of her string-normals
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.

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
  • Her go-to practical normal for many situations due to it being on par for versatility with other close slashes and is not limited in the way her string-normals are.
  • Good close range normal that combos into Dauro or chains into stuff that combos into Dauro (2D, 5H. without sword). Chains into 2S/2H but won't combo outside of wallsplat.
  • Jump cancelable and has a high attack level, making it good for canceling into sword summons.

Awful move. Avoid using this.

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
  • Combo fodder. Awful normal for neutral or offense, avoid using this move.
  • Special/jump/sword cancel-able. Chains into 2H.

Swordless far slash doesn't see much use as its awful range prevents it from competing with more conventional far slashes/pokes. It is a poor neutral tool and is a huge reason as to why most players keep the S sword for superior pokes.

Makes up a fraction of the neutral game
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
  • Far reaching sword swing with good range and startup.
  • Combos into Dauro on crouching or counterhit. Can be useful as a punish for this reason.
  • As with the rest of her equipped sword normals, this grants huge meter gain on hit and block
  • Cancels into specials, sword summons/recalls, jumps/iad, and 3K.

Ramlethal's f.S is almost essential to her neutral, so much so that many choose to keep an non-deployed f.S equipped at all times outside of her corner game. It doesn't have much reward non-counterhit, but it is still by far one of Ramlethal's better pokes. Use often.

Combination Attacks

Combination attacks are unique to Ramlethal and have different rules compared to her normal gatlings. P and K normals can only be cancelled into combination attack strings or sword summons, except for 5P and 2P which can chain into themselves or 2K. Only the first and second attacks can be cancelled into sword summons. After the third attack you cant cancel into anything. Combination attacks can be chained even on whiff.

  • Last hit causes techable knockback midscreen, does a low wall slam in the corner.
  • Unsafe on block but on hit leads to the standard post-wall slam corner combos.
  • KK is also what you sometimes use to end combos into knockdown sword summon oki.
  • KK also brings her forward and is relatively safe on block; she can continue pressure with this and sometimes go for unexpected command grabs.

  • Third hit has the same animation as 2KPK but launches on hit instead of knocking down.
  • Last hit is very unsafe on block and will not combo on a standing opponent.
  • Ramlethal is airborne during the startup of the last hit, which can be RC'd to put Ramlethal in the air but very low to the ground. Can be followed up either by j.K for an overhead or 2D for a low.

  • Starts out hitting low and can end with either an overhead or a low.
  • Despite the sweep ender having the same animation as the third attack of 2PPK it does not launch but instead causes knockdown and also always combos regardless of standing or crouching.
  • Very unsafe if the final hit is the low option.
  • Just like 5KPP, be aware of the gap between the second and third hits if you choose to use the overhead.

  • Standard throw. Leads to okizeme.
  • Forced 55% proration. Unless the following combo will kill, its never worth it to RC due to the amount of hits (10) during the actual throw.
  • If a deployed sword strikes the opponent during the end of the animation, it will lead to a meterless combo.

  • A new and useful defensive option she now has, gets them off of you and can start combos.
  • Uncharged leads to blowback and wallstick, leads to same situation as her corner combos if optimized. Good for burst safe combos too.
  • Fully charged/counter hit leads into crumple state meaning you can go for as heavy of a standing punish as you please.

6S Deployed

Familiar does a horizontal slash. Has better active frames than 6H and always appears in front of them. Staggers on counterhit.

2S Deployed

Familiar does a clockwise spin with the sword. Slow to start up but has a big hitbox and causes ground bounce on hit. Requires S sword to already be placed with 6S.

6H Deployed

Familiar does a downward vertical slash with the H sword. Appears above opponents. Staggers on counterhit.

2H Deployed

Similar to 2S but instead does a counter-clockwise spin. Difficult to avoid and also causes the most blockstun out of all the other sword attacks due to its attack level. Floats on hit. Requires H sword to already be placed with 6H.

GGXRD Ramlethal swordplacement2.png
GGXRD Ramlethal swordplacement.png

Using 6H or 6S causes one of the two familiars to do a tracking teleport to the opponent and attack once. The familiars will standby at the spot where they teleported initially until they are summoned again. She can cancel the majority of her normals into a summon as well as the second hit of combination attacks.

  • Using 6S or 6H replaces the normals done with that button with new ones.
  • Ramlethal is in counterhit state during the entire animation of deploying a sword.
  • Blocking or getting hit will cause any deployed swords to stop attacking.
  • A sword cannot be summoned again until the familiar starts glowing again.
  • While equipped, sword summons have less recovery.
  • On the intitial 6S/H, the sword will always go through the teleport animation. Any summons afterward can skip the teleport animation if the opponent is close by, causing the attack to come out much faster.
  • Added falling animation to swords being interrupted (increasing time before usable again) and familiars can now be hit on startup
  • As of 2.10, when ram or the swords are hit before the swing, the familiars respawn in the same position as before

(Numbers in brackets for green Dauro)

  • A gap closing rush-in type of move that's unsafe on block but useful on hit, enhanced version is less punishable.
  • Primary combo starter as it launches on hit and used in nearly every one of her combos.
  • Two versions of this move. To get the enhanced version, P must be inputted as soon as you hit the 3 in the 623 motion.
  • While the enhanced version launches higher and deals more damage, both are useful in their own right as each can set up their own specific combos, so some might not always want to opt for the enhanced version.
