Ralf performs a swinging backfist with his outer hand. It looks the same as Clark's far C, but strangely has less range. That doesn't mean it's a bad button though. This move has a great hitbox that can beat hops, or even stop opponents from jumping in the first place.
Ralf performs a swinging backfist with his outer hand. While it looks the same as Clark's, it has less range while being faster and doing more damage. This move has a great hitbox that can beat hops, or even stop opponents from jumping in the first place.
Ralf is one of the mercenaries led by Heidern. His rank is colonel, and he incorporates a combination of Heidern-style assassination moves and martial arts into his unique fighting style. He is extremely caring and his subordinates trust him deeply. Oftentimes, Clark and Leona accompany him on missions.
Devastating damage output and big normals are what define Ralf Jones. In terms of movelists, Ralf is one of the most dynamically altered characters in the series; once a charge-based semiclone of Clark, since XIII Ralf has been significantly reworked into a more unique character.
In XV, Ralf is a fully motion-input brawler with an explosive flair that emphasizes his damage potential, which skyrockets as he builds meter. EX Ralf Impact (236BD) crumples the opponent on hit, leaving them wide open enough for Ralf to follow up with a Gatling Attack (236P) combo, or spend even more meter and use EX Ralf Kick (624BD), a multi-hit attack that sends the opponent into a juggle.
With options like Gatling Attack and EX Ralf Kick that move Ralf and the opponent a great distance on hit, Ralf can easily send the opponent into the corner, where they'll be trapped by Ralf's beefy normals. Ralf's st.C, st.D, st.CD, and cr.D have huge range, with the former two easily catching hops. If the opponent tries to get a little too close for comfort, Ralf can use Dynamite Ralf Punch (214P), a standing DP-style move that Ralf can even use to build meter quickly from afar. These options alone give Ralf a very strong neutral game.
Ralf's aerial options might seem lackluster at first glance, but don't be fooled. His j.C is a designated crossup button, and his j.B and j.CD have great range, the former noticeably so for a j.B. Ralf also has an air-only special, Dive Bomber Punch (j.236P) that leads to a hard knockdown, and can also be used to tack on extra damage after using one of his supers, such as Bareback Vulcan Punch (2141236K[K]).
Ralf's main weaknesses stem from his speed. A slugger to a fault, Ralf can struggle to keep up with faster characters and zoners. While his only command normal, Jet Upper (3A) might be very fast for one, it has a very stubby hitbox and Ralf players who aren't careful enough may accidentally push the opponent out of range before they can use it. While Ralf's limited mixup options such as Ralf Kick Feint (624D) or j.X xx 236P can have great reward on hit, their noticeable startup makes them easy to punish, forcing Ralf to rely on universal mechanics and frame traps to open up opponents.
Overall, if you're willing to trade speed for a more destructive offense, then Ralf might be your character. While he can work in any team position, placing him on mid or anchor will allow him to instantly capitalize on meter for massive damage.
Ralf Jones is a space-controlling brawler with risky, yet massive damage output.
Pros
Cons
Easy: Very simple and easy to play, with a straightforward gameplan and high reward. Ralf's combos are not very hard either, granting easy access to said high damage.
Good Neutral: Due to good normals like f.C, f.D, and j.CD, Ralf can easily contest neutral against his opponents.
Big Damage: Ralf's damage is off the charts. He hits very hard off of basic confirms and builds tons of stun in his combos. Ralf does more damage than most other characters with the same amount of resources, making him a great pick for any part of your team. Whether metered or meterless, Ralf can be a threat based off damage potential alone.
Metered Potential: Ralf is a fantastic anchor thanks to his suite of meter burn options. He can easily turn any late-match confirm into a near ToD if he has resources to work with, and several of his EX moves allow him to easily convert off of stray hits. His supers in particular deal incredible amounts of damage regardless of scaling.
Great Specials: Pretty much every single one of Ralf's specials are great. He has a great standing DP, good combo filler options, and several pressure specials that open the door to a great brawling game.
Fantastic Anti-Air Game: Ralf's far D and far C catches hops as well as preemptive air to airs, and his 214P specials are hyper-active anti airs that are easy to execute.
Sluggish: Ralf is a tad slow, making it difficult to keep up with more mobile opponents or zoners.
Minimal Mix-up: Ralf's only dedicated mix-up tool is hop normal > j.236P. Other than that he will have to focus on universal mechanics and frame traps to open his opponent up.

Safe on block because of huge pushback. If cancelled into practically anything, it's probably no longer safe.
Possibly one of the greatest sweeps in the King of Fighters series, Ralf's cr.D is the exact same as Clark's in terms of appearance, but the frame data is a bit different. Its slower startup and longer active frames are only by a miniscule amount, but it does have significantly lower recovery and better frame advantage. Ralf will be just as safe from using this move on its own than Clark would be if Clark were to cancel.
As you may have guessed, Ralf's better recovery comes from a lack of good moves to cancel into on block. Many of his possible follow-ups are both predictable and very unsafe on block and whiff.

A horizontal kick.

Works decently as a cross up, but j.C is even better for this purpose.

Has excellent range, reaching about 2/3 of the screen.
If spaced properly, is plus on block and can lead to a juggle combo in corners.

B version is a great combo filler after the EX version in the corner.
D version is hit confirmable into super.
Both versions can also be used as a block pressure / frame trap tool and both allows links into 2C on hit, which then combos into 236C even at max range.
EX version is a great combo starter as hitting the opponent with 236C after the crumple will launch them higher, allowing for more juggles.
Using the EX version on a crumbled opponent (either from a shatter strike or this move) causes a wall bounce. It's usually not worth the meter doing so, especially in the corner.

Ralf punches the floor and creates a small explosion.
A version has no invincibility and combos from lights. Due to its poor range there's no reason to use it in light confirms over 236A.
Because it launches and recovers relatively quickly, it can be useful for building meter at full screen while also negating fireballs.
C version has upper body invincibility. Ralf cannot get any kind of combo after this hits, even from a super cancel.
This version is a bit slower making it possible for your opponent to land before this hits, leaving Ralf open for punishment.
EX version has full invincibility and much more speed than the C version, but extremely negative on block.
All versions negate fireballs, with EX version negating EX fireballs. This allows you to build meter from your opponent's fireball and while shutting down their meter build - negated fireballs do not build any meter unlike those which are blocked or armoured. This can force your opponent to come closer where Ralf dominates with his f.C and f.D.

Ralf's only meterless hard knockdown. Can cancel from f.C and f.D.
The only mash special remaining in the game, as all others were reworked into DP motions. In juggle combos, Ralf can land this after 236C to get a hard knockdown, while only sacrificing a little bit of damage.

The go-to special in combos.
A version combos from lights, even from max range 2B.
Unsafe if done at closer ranges.
Super cancellable and combos into anything on the ground.
C version combos from heavies, even from max range 2C.
Can follow up with 2D on in ground combos (not crumple).
Launches higher on crumpled opponents with much greater juggle potential.
Cannot combo into 2141236K(K) after all three hits have landed if used outside of the corner. Therefore, it must be canceled after the second hit in order for the super to connect.
EX version doesn't allow for any juggles afterwards but does high damage and leads to a hard knockdown.
Generally not useful except for low-execution light confirms, going through projectiles, or chipping out.

Values in [] indicate damage when the move OTGs.
Ralf dives fist first at a roughly 45 degree angle and causes a small explosion when he hits the ground.
Can OTG grounded opponents but does less damage if it connects this way.
Hits overhead.
A/C versions deal the same damage but A version has a faster startup, making it the ideal choice for OTG after supers.
Can be cancelled from jump A/C/CD provided he is not too close to the ground for a surprise double overhead.
All versions are unsafe on block but can be tricky to punish if the opponent does not have a fast, long-ranged move.

Ralf dashes and tackles his opponent to the ground. If not blocked, he rapidly punches them on the ground with both fists and ends with a final exploding blow.
B/D versions have a slower startup and will whiff when super cancelled from grounded 236C unless very near or in the corner.

Ralf does 8 rapid punches like his vulcan punch, straight forwards instead of upwards. If any of these punches connect, his opponent staggers backwards while Ralf rears back to deliver a single devastating punch, setting the ground ablaze. Ralf then slowly treads forwards with his back turned to the inferno.
Does not lose any damage in juggles and climax cancels as only 1 the first 8 punches do any damage, regardless of how many punches actually hit.
Has full body invincibility.
Has less ability to pick up juggles compared to his other supers and may whiff if used directly in a long corner juggle combo. To avoid this issue, climax cancel into it.
