'''General Notes'''
* Any combo which includes dp+BD can be combo'd into from cr.B > cr.A > cr.A/cr.B as well as any close heavy starter.
* cl.D deals ten points more damage than cl.C and cr.C, but it is much slower than cl.C and has worse range than cr.C, making its usage situational.
* Unlike command normal overheads, dp+D is still treated as an overhead even when it is used in combos, and thus XV's damage scaling rules for overheads will apply. Even if you can link into df+D, for example after df+BD, it is preferable to go for df+B instead because you will lose plenty of damage otherwise.

| '''Light Starter''' > 623BD > 623D > 2141236K > 22AC || 379 || 115 || 1.5 || .25 || Near Corner || OTG doing its best to save this combo.

| ... > 623B > 2141236CD || || || 3 || || Anywhere || Being a two-hit Climax, Hyper Sonic • Ramón is hit hard by damage scaling. Cancelling Rolling Sobat itself is optimal for Climax combos, as the Hoist sequence will scale it down too much. This doesn't affect EX Volando, as its damage is spread across many hits and it has a tendency to miss when cancelled into from raw Rolling Sobat anyway.

Combo Notation Guide

Notation Meaning

f. Far from opponent.
j. Jumping move.
AA Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X] Hold input briefly.

X * N
{X} * N
Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times.
Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

Starters

Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).

Light Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2A > 2B 39 His only decent light starter, you actually only press 2A as 623BD will do the 2B for you.
2A > 5A 48 His lights suck as starters.
5B > 5A 53 No like, they really suck.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
cl.5D > 3D 127 His most damaging grounded starter.
cl.5C > 3D 117 His most reliable grounded starter.
j.C > cl.5C > 3D 181 Most reliable jump in, crosses up too.
j.C > cl.5D > 3D 191 More damage but doesn't cross up.
2C > 3D 117 Poke confirm.
f.5C 70 Faster poke that only links into specials, great as an option select on jump ins if they roll away.
2D(X) > 3D 50 Allows you to use cancel 3D as a poke, thanks to 2D being whiff cancelable.

Other Starters

Combo Damage Notes
CD 75 Slow but cancelable.
236CD 75 Raw Shatter does not combo into 3D.
214A (counter) 125 Combos into 623B/BD in the corner, it's as risky as it gets.
214AC (counter) 162 Combos into 623D anywhere, just as risky as 214A.
214K , AB 65 Very versatile utility, 214BD can be used as a reversal and all versions can be frame traps on block.

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 172 0 Rush combo ending in a special move (41236A), cannot be followed up with a super.
cl.A > A > A > C 223 1 Rush combo ending in a super (6321463214P).
cl.A > A > A > D 347 2 Rush combo ending in a Max super (6321463214AC).
cl.A > A > A > A 452 3 Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location notes
cl.5B > cl.5A > 41236A 161 60 0 .2 Anywhere The only true light confirm without any meter, you have to be pretty close still.
2B > Rush Combo > 41236A 177 45 0 .25 Anywhere I think this shows how bad the light confirms are, this is all you'll get from 2B meterless.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 623K > 22C 267 170 0 .3 Anywhere His BNB with the more damaging ender.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 623K > 22A 239 170 0 .27 Anywhere His BNB with a reset ender, be careful what you do with this.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 623K > 22C > cl.5C > 214C 316 240 0 .4 Corner His Corner BNB, with a reset at the end that, can swap 214C with 22AC for another reset or chip damage, whilst also safe on block.
Heavy Starter > 214A 217 170 0 .25 Anywhere For when you're too far away to do 623B, HKD.
Heavy Starter > 214A > 22AC 251 170 0 .35 Near Corner 214A leads into OTG 22AC when near the corner.

.5 Bar

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location notes
Light Starter > 623BD > 623D > 623K > 22C 274 115 .5 .25 Anywhere Finally, a proper light starter, after the 2A just do 623BD, the 2B will come out on its own as a result of it.
cl.5B > Light Starter > 623BD > 623D > 623K > 22A 262 145 .5 .25 Anywhere Standing light link with the mix up ender.
Light Starter > 623BD > 214K , AB > 623B > 623K > 22C > cl.5C > 214C 350 235 .5 .4 Corner Corner only extender with 214K cancel.
Light Starter > 214AC 156 60 .5 .02 Anywhere You will need to do the 214AC lightning fast and not hold it at all.
Light Starter > 214AC > 22AC 190 45 .5 .12 Near Corner OTG extender.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623D > 623K > 22C 362 190 .5 .35 Anywhere Same as the light starter just better.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 623K > 22A > 41236AC > 22AC 377 170 .5 .4 Anywhere His best .5 bar anywhere combo, can swap the OTG for a safe jump set up but even with it you can still do whatever you want after.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 66 > 214K , AB > 623B > 623K > 22C > cl.5C > 214C 438 300 .5 .49 Corner Same as light but due to pushback you need to do a micro walk after 623BD (very micro).

1 Bar

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location notes
Light Starter > 623BD > 623D > 623K > 22A > 41236AC > 22AC 375 115 1 .3 Anywhere The good part about light starters is they stop falling behind the heavy ones once you have a bar.
Light Starter > 623BD > 214K , AB > 623B > 623K > 22A > 41236AC > 22AC 401 165 1 .35 Corner Corner only variant, you will lose the corner unless you do a cross up after the combo.
Light Starter > 623BD > 66 > 214K , AB > 214AC 288 105 1 .1 Anywhere Tricky combo that rewards you with a HKD.
Light Starter > 623BD > 66 > 214K , AB > 214AC > 22AC 318 105 1 .15 Near Corner OTG extension.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623D > 623K > 22A > 41236AC > 22AC 463 190 1 .41 Anywhere Arguably his best combo.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 66 > 214K , AB > 214AC 376 170 1 .2 Anywhere Same as light but more damage.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 66 > 214K , AB > 214AC > 22AC 406 170 1 .2 Near Corner OTG extends this combo once more.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 214K , AB > 623B > 623K > 22A > 41236AC > 22AC 489 230 1 .47 Corner Like the light variant, will lose you the corner.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 2141236K 345 170 1 .25 Anywhere Super ender, but not the best use of 1 bar from heavies.
Heavy Starter > 623B > 2141236K > 22AC 345 170 1 .25 Midscreen OTG extension.
Light Starter > 623BD > 623D > 2141236K 349 115 1.5 .2 Anywhere Extended Super combo but again, damage not fully worth it.
Light Starter > 623BD > 623D > 2141236K > 22AC 379 115 1.5 .25 Near Corner OTG doing its best to save this combo.
Light Starter > 623BD > 623BD > 214BD , AB > 623B > 623K > 22C > cl.5C > 214C 419 175 1.5 .4 Corner His corner BNB, Note that this will whiff on characters like Kula, Yuri and Chris due to their smaller sizes.
Light Starter > 623BD > 623BD > 214BD , AB > cl.5D > 214C 326 125 1.5 .15 Corner Use this against the smaller characters, results in a reset too.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623D > 2141236K 437 190 1.5 .25 Anywhere Like the light but a bit beefier.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623D > 2141236K > 22AC 467 190 1.5 .25 Midscreen OTG do what an OTG do.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623BD > 214BD , AB > 623B > 623K > 22C > cl.5C > 214C 507 240 1.5 .48 Corner Corner BNB again, and again it whiffs on smaller characters.
Heavy Starter > 623BD > 623BD > 214BD , AB > cl.5D > 214C 414 190 1.5 .25 Corner The gremlin reset.
