About

The hothead in red.

Playstyle

Speed. I am speed.

Raphael is one of the fastest characters in the game, being only slightly upstaged by El Tigre in that regard. Unlike other speedy characters in the game though, Raphael plays more of a hit-and-run playstyle, using his Neutral Special to chip away at his opponent and then finishing them off with an aerial combo.

If being fast and furious is your style, Raph is your guy!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Speed: Raph's defining trait. He can move around faster than most other characters in the game. This lets him run away from his opponent without much trouble or barrel towards them with a quick aerial or Dash Attack.
Great aerials: Raph's Neutral and Forward Aerial are both great combo tools, and his Back Aerial is a surprisingly good kill move. His Up Air Strong is also a great kill move.
Shuriken: Raph's Neutral Special is a great projectile that allows Raph to control a ton of the stage at any given time.
Down Special: A kickflip that also doubles as a command grab. Great for use as a surprise attack or as a mixup tool.
Rare matchup: Raph is a rather uncommon character amongst the playerbase, so your opponent might not have a strong grasp on how to counter his gameplan.

Stubby: Raph has a tendency to get outranged in a lot of matchups due to his gameplan of getting up close and personal.
Awkward combo routes: While a lot of combo routes in the game are more vertical and rely on up air chains, Raph tends to use Neutral and Forward Air more. This means his combo game can be a little bit odd to get used to at first.
Multihit-heavy: All of Raph's grounded strong attacks are multi-hit moves, which means they have a tendency for the opponent to fall out of them.
Deceptive Up Special: Despite being tough to challenge due to the amount of hits it has, Up Special has less vertical distance than it seems, and can miss ledge a lot.
Tall Fastfaller: Raph is a pretty tall character for his speed and also falls pretty fast, which can make him combo food in some matchups.
Can't make too many mistakes: Raph's kit being fast also means he requires tight execution for a lot of his routes, and if he messes up too many times he will lose the match.
