Normals

Standing

st. A: - 25 damage, cancellable, hits high. Standard punch attack. Fast and stops a lot of short hops.

st. B: - 30 damage, cancellable, hits high.

st. C: - 80 damage, hits high. Great long-range poke. Very useful for keeping opponents out.

st. D: - 80 damage, hits high. Another long-range poke. It's not quite as fast as st.C, but it's still very useful.

cl. C: - 40 x 2 damage, cancellable on first hit only, hits high. This is Ralf's primary combo starter. Commonly followed up with his C Burning Hammer. Alternatively, Jet Uppercut can used to hit-confirm combos.

cl. D: - 70 damage, cancellable, hits high.

Crouching

cr. A: - 25 damage, cancellable and chainable, hits high.

cr. B: - 30 damage, cancellable, hits low. A quick attack often used to start combos. At close range, it can be comboed into df+A or linked to cl.C.

cr. C: - 70 damage, cancellable, hits high.

cr. D: - 80 damage, (whiff) cancellable, hits low. Causes a soft knockdown. Great range and speed.

Jumping

j. A: - 45 (40) damage, cancellable, hits mid. A quick punch aimed downward. As Ralf's only cancellable jumping attack, this move is great for hop pressure.

j. B: - 45 (40) damage, hits mid.

j. C: - 72 (70) damage, hits mid.

j. D: - 70(68) damage, hits mid.

Blowback Attack

Console Changes

• Strong Burning Hammer has less lag. You can combo it into his C Gatling Attack without needing to cancel.

• During Vulcan Punch (all versions) Ralf can move forward.

• EX Burning Hammer has faster startup and can be comboed from strong attacks.

• Both versions of Galactica Phantom can be charged.

• Crouch D has less lag.

Yamamoto – Ralph=power is the simple equation we used here. The centerpiece being his chargeable Galactica Phantom. Damage increases as charge levels go up, release it earlier to improve damage with a super cancel. It’s nostalgic that he can move again during his Vulcan Punch.
