Gameplay Overview

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 straight-shooting, explosive brawler with huge normals, great guard pressure and massive damage output.
Pros	Cons
Great Frame Traps: Ignoring the more obvious example of 236K, Ralf has the frame data to run a dangerous offense centered around frame trapping the opponent. This, combined with the fact Ralf only needs one good hit confirm to blow up the opponent, makes trying to poke through gaps in Ralf’s pressure an extremely dangerous game. This can even convert an opponent’s crumbling guard meter into a forced mistake once they are forced to take action. Outstanding Normals: On top of having fantastic frame data attached to them, most of them have huge hitboxes. There are very few duds in Ralf’s moveset, allowing you to easily control a large amount of space with the press of a button. Explosive Damage: It takes very little for Ralf to drop a nuke on the opponent’s health bar. Ralf does more damage than most other characters with some of the simplest confirms and combos in the game, making opponents fear even the smallest touch from Ralf. Whether metered or meterless, Ralf can be a threat for his damage potential alone. Big Spender, High Return On Investment: Spending meter on Ralf is rarely ever a wrong decision. Arguably the best shatter strike in the game, high punish potential on a Guard Cancel Roll, great normals for Quick MAX confirms and massive damage on meter dumps all give Ralf plenty of reason to spend for explosive returns when the time is right.	Sluggish: Ralf’s overall movement speed is not terrible (in fact, it is fairly standard), but he lacks any non-standard movement options. He must use standard, universal movement options to get around, and he’s not doing it any faster than your average fighter. This can give him trouble when fighting opponents who have the high mobility that he lacks, or when fighting zoners. Minimal Mix-up: Much like his movement, Ralf’s mixup game will be exactly the standard, not including his excellent frametraps. Ralf's only dedicated mix-up tool is a double overhead with any hop normal > j.236P. Aside from this, Ralf is stuck using normal strike/throw offense and frame traps to open up his opponent.

Has slightly less range than far D. Ralf leans forward and performs a double punch. On the faster end of horizontal cr.Cs, and has some decent range, making it a good punisher. Has somewhat lower pushback than his other heavy normals. Command cancelable, but doesn't connect into 3A unless Ralf is very close. Ralf's options from this move are relatively limited overall at a distance because of pushback; the only move that will always connect is 236C.

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. This is also one of the few sweeps that's typically not worth cancelling into anything. It's already only slightly minus and very safe on block, and Ralf's cancel options that are safer are few to none; Ralf Impact will only connect at point blank range due to the massive pushback.

Used to convert from light normals (Ralf's heavy/EX specials otherwise won't combo) and extend from heavy normals. Also serves as a main anti-air because Ralf doesn't have a vertical cr.C. Keep in mind that if you use this as a converter/extender, make sure you stay close enough to the opponent so that it will connect, as it has terrible horizontal range.

Both the B and D versions are very plus on both hit and block, but don't connect from heavies and are relatively telegraphed. Mostly used as combo filler in the corner after 236BD. The EX version is his standard metered combo starter. Sends the opponent into a higher juggle state from 236C. If you try to input it again directly afterwards or after a Shatter Strike, it will cause a wallbounce instead. Typically not worth it as it sacrifices a lot of damage for nothing, though.

Dynamite Ralf Punch serves as Ralf's DP and is an excellent way to build meter as well as negating fireballs and anti-airing. A version: Combos from lights, but its extremely small horizontal hitbox makes it practically worthless for small combos; 236A is a better option. Mostly used to build meter. C version: Has full body invincibility against physical aerials on startup, but is very slow for an anti-air with extremely long recovery. Has an attack follow-up window of 0, so unless the move counterhits, it will not combo into anything, even supers. EX version: Full-body invincibility on the first 9 frames of its 11-frame startup, but leaves Ralf wide open on both block and whiff.

Can cancel from f.C and f.D. Can be mashed to extend the move's active frames. Ralf's mash special is the only mash special that wasn't reworked into a motion input. Great for ending combos after high juggles (such as after 236BD or 624BD). You can mash the punch buttons to extend Vulcan Punch's active frames, but the move will always only hit a single time on opponents that aren't blocking and grant a hard knockdown afterwards. EX version can hit up to four times, and is +4 on block, but causes a soft knockdown.

Easily cancels into all of Ralf's supers. C version: Launches the opponent upward slightly. Followup options depend on if the opponent has been juggled or not (i.e. cr.D is the only followup if 236BD or 63214BD haven't been used). If the opponent has been juggled, you can follow up into 236A, Vulcan Punch and 63214BD. Regular versions of Bareback Vulcan Punch (2141236K) will not connect from this move outside of the corner if all three hits connect. EX version: Resembles one of Ralf's old supers. Leads to a hard knockdown on the last hit. Cannot juggle the opponent.

Briefly halts Ralf's aerial momentum. Cancels from Ralf's j.A, j.C, and j.CD. Ralf briefly pauses in the air before diving at a 45 degree angle downwards with a straight punch, causing an explosion that hits overhead upon landing. Causes a hard knockdown, but the frame advantage is dependent on how high Ralf was in the air (highest frame advantage on hit and lowest frame disadvantage on block from lowest height, and vice versa for highest height). Ralf is left very open after using the move, but he hops a certain distance away at the end of the animation, making it hard for the opponent to punish him if they don't have the proper move to do so. Very good for tacking on extra damage after supers. 236C has longer startup, but causes more OTG damage.

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.
