1.Introduction
--------------
Ramon was one of the first new characters I played as and since he was a
grappler(I play best with them)I couldn't resist to stop using him ever
since.Of course at first I thought that he was just another Sagat inpersonator
until I knew he had a grab move and a combo that did 50 percent damage without
a DM ^_^
----------
2.Controls
----------
Please follow these abbreviations(on the left side of the screen)
qcf-from down to forward(down,down-forward,forward)
qcb-from down to back(down,down-back,back)
hcf-from back to forward(b,db,d,df,f)
hcb-from forward to back(f,df,d,db,b)
dp-a dragon punch motion(f,d,df)
hold-charge for 2 seconds
A/B/C/D-in order light punch,light kick,hard punch etc
xx(like AB)-press the 2 buttons at once
The following are the basic controls:
Dodge(AB)
-A slide forward,invincible until you stop but can't avoid throws or command
throws
Escape roll(back + AB)
-A roll backwards,if you perform this will blocking you will perform an
Emergency Escape Roll which will cause you to lose a powerstock
Safe fall(AB when almost hitting the ground after a fall)
-A quick recovery from a fall.
Throw(hold forward or back + C/D near opponent)
-A normal throw.If you call out your Striker after a throw your opponent will
be knocked into the air for an extra hit but this process takes up one Striker
stock and one Power stock
Throw break(tap any button before being thrown)
-Stops a throw dead at its tracks
Knockdown attack(CD)
-A slow attack that knocks the opponent down(can do it in the air).You can
do this while blocking but does almost no damage and costs a powerstock
Call Striker(BC)
-Calls out your fourth player for assistance
Super Desperation Move(motion of a desperation move + AC/BD)
-A enhanced version of one of your desperation moves.Each character's SDM
does about 50% damage.Requires 3 powerstocks.When done,you will not be able
to add anything to your powergauge for a amount of time(i.e.-around 5 seconds)
Counter Mode(ABC)
-Requires 3 powerstocks.In this mode,you have a certain amount of time in
which you are allowed to cancel your special move into a desperation move
and you can perform your desperation moves continuously until the time runs
out. When done,you will not be able to add anything to your
powergauge for a amount of time(ie-around 5 seconds)
Armour(I'm from Australia)Mode
-Requires 3 powerstocks.In this mode,you have what could be counted as hyper
armour from the Vs. series(eg-Juggernant)so you won't be stunned.The time
limit on this mode is shorter than Counter Mode.When done,you will not be
able to add anything to your powergauge for a amount of time(i.e.-around 5
seconds)
Taunt(Start)
-Just to get your opponent angry most of the time but this year whenever you
taunt,a striker stock will be added if they are less than their total
limit.But this also takes up a powerstock and leaves you vulnerable.I've also
discovered that if you taunt while in Counter Mode(and maybe Armour Mode
too)it will add an extra striker stock but it will decrease the time you have
left for the two(?)modes-takes away about the length of a letter(ie the "o"
in Counter Mode)
---------------------------
3.Command and Special Moves
---------------------------
>Command Moves<
Teikuu Drop Kick (down-forward + B)
-Ramon will sort of slide downwards with his legs parted together to attack
you.This must be blocked low unless comboed into
>Special Moves<
Tiger Neck Chancery (near opponent, hcf + A/C)
-Ramon's best arson,Ramon will grab your opponent and slam them onto the
ground
Rolling Sobat (dp + B/D)
-Ramon will do a mid-air kick,this move's animations looks stunning.Try to
use the B version of this because it's faster
Flying Body Attack (dp + B/D after the Rolling Sobat)
-If you managed to hit your opponent with the Rolling Sobat,you can attempt
to use this follow-up which has the animation as the jumping C.When your doing
this move don't do it the moment the Rolling Sobat hits,wait until your
opponent is just about to hit the ground to do it
Somersault (hcf + B/D)
-Ramon will pause momentarily before running towards your opponent.If he
reaches them he will place one of his foot on their chest and then another
on their face before kicking himself away from them.This move is
_unblockable_
Feint Step (qcb + A/C, then hold A/C)
-When this move is performed,Ramon will walk forward and backwards as long
as you hold the button.He will only stop when you release the button.The C
version of Feint Step does not attack(if you release the C button he will
just stop moving),only the A version attacks.You can use the C version of
this to recover faster if your opponent blocked your Standing C into Teikuu
Drop Kick(down-forward + B)
-------------------
4.Desperation Moves
-------------------
^=Can be done as a SDM
Tiger Spin^ (near opponent, hcbx2 + A/C/AC)
-If Ramon manages to grab your opponent,he will spin around their bodies(thus
the Spin in Tiger Spin)before slamming them onto the ground.Not only does
this DM do a lot of damage,you are also treated with this excellent animation
and the sound of a tiger at the end(where the sound came from I don't know).
The SDM version is an extended version with two Tiger Neck Chancery
and then followed by the spinning and the tiger howl
El Diablo Amarillo Ramon (qcf,hcb + B/D)
-Ramon will run forward and if he hits he will do a series of attacks
---------------
5.Striker Moves
---------------
Ramon-When Ramon lands,he will wait a moment before running forward.If he
makes contact with your opponent(not blocked)he will do his El Diablo
Amarillo Ramon DM.Ramon is quite good since he can off the ground your
opponents(like Striker Joe)
Duke-Duke will start walking towards your opponent,when he's in range we will
wait a minute before doing an anti-air attack
Neo and Geo(Dark Striker,To use them place the cursor on Duke and move the
joystick up,leftx3,rightx3,down)
-When these guys land,they will start a count down with their fingers(5,4,3
etc).Once the count down reaches zero they will explode and if your opponent
is in range they will be blown up leaving you a juggle.These guys can off
the ground too
--------
6.Combos
--------
Standard procedure,I'm not going to add any Striker combos(just solo
combos)because there's just too many of them but if you send one to me I'll
post it up and give you full credit
*=Optional
1.Jump C/D*, Standing C, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B), follow with
-Tiger Neck Chancery(near opp, hcf + A/C)
-B version Rolling Sobat(dp + B), Flying Body Attack(dp + B/D)
-B version Somersault(hcf + B)
-Tiger Spin(near opp, hcbx2 + A/C/AC)
-El Diablo Amarillo Ramon(qcb,hcf + B/D)
-C version Feint Step(qcb + C)(Note that you can do this if your opponent
blocked your Teikuu Drop Kick,fast recovery)
2.(With opponent in corner)
Jump C/D*, Standing C, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B), C version Feint
Step(qcb + C), run up to opponent, Standing C, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward
+ B), C version Feint Step(qcb + C), run up to opponent, Standing C, Teikuu
Drop Kick(down-forward + B), C version Feint Step(qcb + C)...you get the point
Note-When you do the Feint Step you must not press it too hard,just tap the
C button else the opponent might be out of hit stun by the time you run up
to them.This might apply to the Counter Mode combo listed on the S-Team Combos
section below
---------------
7.S-Team Combos
---------------
These are combos seen in the S-Team combo movies,which were these two very
big(71mb and 35mb)Divx files(they came from a VCD full of combos made by this
Hong Kong games magazine called "Game Weekly").I decided to add this section
for those who can't see them(due to the requirements of the Divx codec)or
just couldn't be bothered to download them.The combos are listed as exactly
how it was done in the movies.Enjoy
1.(In Counter Mode and opponent in corner)
Standing A, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B), Standing A, Teikuu Drop
Kick(down-forward + B), Standing A, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B),
Standing A, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B), Standing A, Teikuu Drop
Kick(down-forward + B), A version Feint Step(qcb + A)
2.(Full Power Gauge and opponent in corner)
Jump D, Standing C, Teikuu Drop Kick(down-forward + B), SDM Tiger Spin(hcbx2
