Normals
Close
- cl.A/B/C/D are all special cancellable
- cl.B chains into s.B
- cl.B hits low
- Ramon's close normals mostly serve to set up his various command throws
Stand
- s.A is special cancellable
- s.A is a decent anti-hop move
- s.B has decent range and speed as a poke
- s.D has an interesting upward angle for anti-air. It also advances Ramon quite a bit forward and has good speed.
Crouching
- cr.A/B/C are special cancellable
- cr.A chains into itself and cr.B
- cr.C has deceptively good range and moves Ramon forward slightly
- cr.D is a fast sweep and brings Ramon toward the opponent almost 25 % of the screen (4 sweeps will move him to connect with opponent)
Jumping
- j.A/B are relatively slow for lights
- j.B can be a situational crossup mostly on standing opponents
- J.C is Ramon's go to crossup tool
- j.D has a steep downward angle and is great as a jump in move and it will crossup ambigously on crouching opponents
Blowback
- s.CD can be used to beat lows
- j.CD has a horizontal attack zone and is useful as a air to air

- technically resets the combo counter. EX: cl.C, dp+B, dp+B,d,d+A is a 4 hit combo, but if you land his qcb,hcf+B/D super from the Pull Up hit you start a separate 14 hit combo that the opponent could do nothing about.
