OPTIMIZING RAMLETHAL (MAIN THINGS TO CONSIDER) | Guilty Gear Strive

[@kyoukai-g8d]

For people wanting the Asuka color for ram: You can do the standard ~mods method or you can download Unverum. Once you setup Unverum, there is a browse mods section and in there you should be able to find the mods and simply install it. I'll leave links in the replies. Oh I almost forgot, it's a mod loader for several games so be sure to change it to Gulity Gear Strive at the top left.

Your channel is one of a kind, you're the foundation of Ramlethal players. It's amazing how you teach players to think for themselves and adapt instead of mindlessly repeating techniques without understanding. Thanks once again.

[@ovie534]

Literally godlike, I watched combo videos and how to videos to learn ram, keep in mind this was my first gg game ever, and I couldnt learn jack shit, this guy was exactly what I needed to understand Ram and the game, now I perma corner trap and wallbreak my frens xD.

[@TheHotWiener]

This might be the most important guide for Ram mains. Optimization is something a lot of new players often overlook despite it being maybe the second most important thing to learn in fighting games. Playing the game is always the best way to learn but guides like this go a long way too. Honestly Bachiru you're spoiling your fellow Ram players lmao

[@Bachiru]

Just doing my part for the Ram army ☺️, I agree optimization is important once you're comfortable playing your character and it's the journey not a destination

I come from DBFZ and got into gealty gear with Xrd and man I was disappointed when I saw that Sin wasn’t in the game. But then I found Ram, got into the character and found your guides and man these are helpful, keep up the good stuff man!

[@stillinsight3895]

As a new fighting game player, and as a Ram main, I cant think you enough for these videos. I found that just memorizing combos was too ridgid and boring. You teaching me how to think for myself and really apply Ram's kit is what is helping me improve so much. I feel like im starting to become less of a casual player and more in tune with Ram and how she wants to play. Thank you so much my friend

[@nanayaSol]

Love the guides and online matches you post man you’ve been doing the Ram Fam justice teaching us tech and helping us better understand Ramlethal & the various game plans to getting better. U got a fan in me forever 👍🏼

[@brikaro1]

Something I've noted in practice is that it's more consistent (at least for me) to mash 2k after you get a daoro juggle. There were issues with extremely high launches where the kick would whiff if done too early, but it seems like mashing 2k seemed to catch them more consistently, leaving them lower to the ground so you can hit both swords and keep them low enough to wall break them easily.

[@kungfuchef8500]

yeah I need to mash 5k as well. Also, if you're slightly slow with the first Dauro your kick will come out too late I found out.

[@tomotombo]

Its all about the timing she has sf juggle time imagen you playing sf4 juggling

[@Wolf-px9jx]

Watching this video twice and then playing ram in training a few days later and I was able to come up with my own ram combos, This helped a fuck ton ty!

[@m0002856]

I hard agree with point #1. Soul Calibur 2 was my first real fighting game I played. I think I was like… maybe 10 when that came out? I didn’t have a fighting game community, friends, or anybody who knew anything. So going in blind, I just basically learned how to play the game from feelings. This move can link into that move cool now I have a two hit combo. Maybe a few play sessions later I’d find out that another move links into the two hit combo I learned earlier. I’d play against some computer that likes to do X kind of play style maybe long range pokes. I’d find the move that beats long range pokes and spam it. Now I have that muscle memory and, wouldn’t you know it, I later learn you can combo from that move. Now I have the muscle memory and practice of beating pokes AND the knowledge it combos. I slowly learned what moves to use in neutral, what moves I had that were safe on block, what moves were tricky for people to block etc. By the time Soul Calibur 5 came out and I actually started looking at combo videos, I was destroying regular online matches. Didn’t even need notation because every move was so engrained in my mind I could see the move happen on screen in real time and know the exact sequence of button presses I needed. I didn’t do that when FighterZ came out, and my life was miserable. I went straight to combo videos and learning combos. Didn’t look at frame data or play around with throwing moves out and seeing what gets punished on block, what’s safe on block, what a moves range was or anything. I could land GO1 Gohan leg loops while simultaneously losing to people who literally only used auto combo. Learn. The. Game. Just play the game even if you lose a bunch and lose ranking levels. It’s so much better starting out learning when to do certain moves in neutral or during pressure than it is to worry about how to combo. Like 5K into 2D into Dauro is a great combo starter. Instead of trying to land as many combos as possible, I’m just trying to land as many 5K into 2D as possible. Throw out the move, see where it works, see what range it leads into 2D. I know there are alternative things to do if you hit 5K at longer range, but I’m not even worried about that yet. If you never learn what 5K range does and does not lead into 2D, you’ll never truly know when you land a 5K what your next move should be unless it’s point blank. TL;DR: go into training mode, learn what each individual move does, learn what options it has for combos (like kicks go into dust or specials) don’t look up a real combo guide until you play enough to be able to use any move at any time without thinking. If you focus on learning basic stuff like move range and some basic easy to figure out two hit combos, you will easily be able to learn real combos while not losing to basic level neutral situations.

[@xcalibergreen1587]

This is great. This really makes me more confident in Ram and TBH in the game. Following combos mindlessly is what i was trying to do initially but I feel like this makes much more sense and also makes your gameplan during games alot easier and you can focus on the match more. Thanks again for another great vid!

I have been whooped out of celestial floor multiple times now, and I think the reason is that I'm not optimising my corner pressure with BRC as much as I would like.. Meter management is important and I will definitely be using this video to break into celestial floor. OPEN UP THE DOOR!!

[@lunafoxfire]

Hey I found a way easier way to do that max range fS > 5H conversion (if you have dash and RC bound to a macro). You can use 623P > early dash PRC by plinking the dash button into the RC button to move yourself forward really far and make the 5K > 6H link much easier. So the full string would be: fS > 5H > 623P > early dash PRC (plink dash into RC) > 5K > 6H > 236H > 236S > 214H

[@Bachiru]

Welcome to the Ram army we are waiting for you :)

[@TheMangecu]

Love your guides, I'm improving a lot with Ram thanks to you! One question though: I've noticed that when you start the basic juggle combo with close slash, you can use 2HS instead of 2D to combo into the Dauro juggle. Is there a reason to specifically use 2D? 2HS seems to launch them higher which makes combos a bit easier to me, especially when ending with the rekka since they won't be as close to the ground so the timing isn't as strict

[@Bachiru]

I usually go for 2D since it has a better horizontal hitbox as opposed to 2HS as i noticed 2HS sometimes whiffs after max range CS on some characters

Thank you for by far the best Ram vids. Slowdowns and timestamps are something i don't know why others don't do. I struggle on defense against very plus characters like Gio and wondering if you could please do a video on defence and moving from defence to attack. As i'm a noob I end up just feeling like Ram is too slow startup on everything when trying to defend. :(

[@Bachiru]

There's a defense guide in progress but i'm taking some time to make it as i need to have more match-up experience and i need to make sure anything i upload will be comprehensive and informative so please bear with me while i get it done :D

[@ThePlasticBowl]

Question, and this may have been something you answered in your video on pressure using the BRC. Whats the benefit to using the BRC when jumping in to mix your opponent? Like is the time slow making it that much harder for your opponent to guess whether you go high or low or would a regular jump/empty jump with no BRC used be just as powerful. Hope the question makes sense.

[@Bachiru]

BRC gives you more slowdown against your opponent so you can have longer pressure strings, also let's you have better confirms. Also well timed BRCs will let you set up safe jumps on opponent's wake up

[@badtoken3739]

Love your videos keep on corner carryin'

[@kungfuchef8500]

hey, what's your opinion on going 2S into 2HS then Dauro? You can then combo with 5k into 6HS and do the usual combo string. 2S is a low attack so it can catch people off guard. Probably slow recovery though. Also, you can also do close S, then far S into Dauro for more combo opportunities, or 5S, 5HS into Dauro. That's what I found how in the training room (by mistake). A good combo starter that is easy to pull off. I think you do need to RC to keep the combo going though.

[@Bachiru]

Problem with 2S is that it pushes you back so sometimes 2HS will not connect which makes it inconsistent on some of the cast,

I wonder how you decide how to open your rounds? Do you try to read your opponents, try to block or counter whatever might come your way, or do you try attacking first? I feel kind of lost sometimes if I don‘t have a feel for what my opponent will do at the start game.

[@Bachiru]

Definitely match-up and player dependent, my general rule is always first round of any match is i just stand there and block for a few frames and react to whatever the opponent will do, if the opponent is always doing the same thing round start then i start exploiting those habits and if i feel that the opponent has an advantage i tend to back off and see what they're going to do
