Vulcan Punch: press A or C repeatedly (and move forward), press A+B+C+D to cancel
* Ralf does a series of explosive upwards angled punches. In this move there's 2 alternating punches, one hitting diagonally above Ralf and the other straight ahead of him. With good timing the upwards one can function as a great anti air as it has a lot of priority. the middle one doesn't as much of a use as it doesn't have a lot of horizontal range.
* Can be made fairly safe on block or whiff with the ABCD cancel.
st.A : fast standing jab. Good priority and decent reach makes it an excellent tool to stop hops. Whiffs on all crouchers. Not chainable or Cancelable.
st.B : Fast kick with slight upwards angle. fairly good fast midrange poke. whiffs on all but the large crouchers. Not chainable or cancelable.
st.C : Ralf swings his arm outwards. Great midrange poke with good reach and priority. Can be used as an anti air against jumps from further ranges. Whiffs on low crouchers. Not cancelable.
st.D : Ralf does a long kick straight out. Decent midrange poke, hits Shorter than st.C and is slower but it hits all crouchers. st.C is usually the better button to hit unless they're crouching under it a lot. Not cancelable.

jumping
j.A : Ralf does a downwards angled punch. The fastest of his jumping buttons but the hitbox and priority aren't great. Use it if you really need the speed for an air to air over everything else. whiffs on everyone but the large crouchers. cancelable.
neutral j.A : Ralf does a jumping elbow attack. Awesomely big hitbox for air to airs, this normal will beat most approaches coming it's way so use it a lot to stop the opponents approaches. Not cancelable.
j.B : A jumping kick going straight out. Fast air to air option with a good amount of range. Not cancelable.
neutral j.B: Ralf does a kick with his legs spread out. faster and reaches out more than j.A but the priority is worse, so j.A is mostly the superior choice. Not cancelable.

neutral j.C : Ralf does a downwards chop. Great hitbox underneath Ralf. Also Ralfs most damaging jumping normal. Cancelable.
