i really like the shift away from repetitive corner pressure towards a more midrange control character, but the damage on rekka1 is a little too much and encourages spamming it for combos. the diagonal sword is also really helpful for locking down certain characters like faust who could totally avoid S sword if they chose to crouch block. also would like to suggest a guide on how to dash and kara her rekka cuz ik a lot of people struggle with it (me included) and it looks really cool and fun to do. great vid ♥
I thought Kara's were removed outright from the game and these were simply dash cancels
@@humblegamer7876 You can kara cancel here rekka into supers even now
You're an invaluable resource for guys like myself who are too crusty to really utilize discord and all these different sources effectivelly
Still miss the days of everyone just posting on DL in one centralized area
Let's go, educational content from the Ram GOAT. Your effort in these videos is appreciated SQ!
I have always enjoyed watching you fight, Thanks for the guide!
It’s been a while since I’ve played strive and Ram feels like an entirely different character
I think they’re moving her in a good direction.
She felt weird because like… day 1 everybody complained about F.s which baffled me because it was a strong move but didn’t lead to much.
Her having a Dauro conversion from like max range F.s means the button is a threat. Subsequently, because it is this strong now, they made her S sword toss a very strong resource. It’s the stronger of the two tosses in a vacuum because it functions better mid screen than H sword toss, but throwing it also means you lose access to F.s’ range for an entire set (haha Strive high damage rounds end too fast joke).
So… she’s interesting but I don’t think her base kit ever felt 100%. Kinda felt this way to me in Xrd as well like they had this idea for a sword character and also a mage character and slapped them together but also Daisuke had been playing a lot of Tekken.
I'm enjoying new Ram so far!! Sword throw bug & Rekka 1 loop aside, it feels like she has more room for play variety now, especially when it comes to offensive strings.
Her focus on stealing turns and frametrapping still feels like the core of the character, but getting new mix is more interesting than sword loops. Comboing into Sabrobato is really fun, too ✨
I’m starting to think I’m in the minority of enjoying this season (yes I know it has problems but I’m having fun). But that could just also be me swapping over to Testament recently & really loving their gameplay. Especially with the stain throw. I played Faust previously but I just don’t think he fits my playstyle & has too many downsides for me personally. I also play A.B.A. but idk I’ve been quite enjoying my games this season besides fighting a few characters.
Became an Asuka main for a little while, just coming back to Ram and where better to start than the channel where I first learned
Honestly they don’t understand unless you make people *also* collect swords like in xrd. They’ll never be a resource that’s weak enough. I said it so many times, even you disagreed sq lol.
Thank you SQ!
I actually changed my main(from Ram to Baiken). Which almost never happened before bc I'm pretty slow to learn new characters. I guess S4 Ram changes was too much for me and I don't like the feel of these new changes. Your guides really helped me getting into Strive though, SQ! I'm really thankful for that and I'll keep watching your stuff as your explanations and insights are really easy to understand.
Really nice video (as always) ❤
Ram is actually more fun now; before, her gameplay was easily boiled down to sword pressure in the corner and that really narrowed down her gameplay.
Dang, getting used will take a while
I like the change in ram she feels like a great character now.
i miss s3 ram so bad. i liked juggling swords for combos
Me too bro, me too
Same 😢
Me three!
You can still juggle with swords for combos
@pauls6448 Yeah, but she's way more corny and broken now that it just feels like I just robbed someone without me even trying
Ampharos is such an icon
Basically: Boss character, you’re welcome ;3
great vid. ram is my main
Another great SQ guide to the second best Valentine sister!
I was mainning Ram last season but the H sword bug is wild I’m gonna wait till they patch her then see how she plays 😂
Do you plan to make a combo list or maybe you can recommend someone else's? Ideally with options that do not require Rekka1->Rekka1
I think these changes were so good! They were a big part of why I finally decided to spend more time playing Tekken! Thanks Ram 🥰
I'm glad they're going in this direction with Ram, imo they should have done it from the start since Ram was super boring on launch. I just hope that they give her ACTUAL weaknesses instead of fake ones lmao
I was hoping i wouldn't have to rekka cancels anymore but looks like that's not gonna change
Otherwise it's fun relearning her
Hi hi. I am brand new into GG, just picked it up on sale and I’ve always adored Ram from afar. Normally I wouldn’t comment, but his info was very helpful and I want to repay in engagement.
With that being said. Is there any advice you guys could offer me in picking her up? I would appreciate it. I already have my hw with learning how to understand the inputs he said so causally.
thank u SQoat
Hi dot
can u make a counter play guide for her 😭🙏
do you grip?
Thanks for the video as usual
🐐
Im so glad that there not updating the game for the terny tomorrow
I don’t like how she feels to play now.
i miss her xrd setplay playstyle tbh
Me too. I wish they could've found a way to make her more setplay in strive. She feels way more...guerilla.
If she gets setplay then they'll probably make her need more interactions to close a round. And we all know that just doesn't work in Strive.
👍
Though ram may have been overtuned let us not let that muddy the overall great sesson that we were given!
S4 started pretty bad but i hope Arcsys listen to the feedback and try to patch the game more.
Oh yeah, it's ram time
Season 4 Ram needs a bit of a fix rn but she's pretty fun
Ngl, the changes made me just drop Ram as a main. I'm happy she's better, and I hope people enjoy her, but she just kinda lost the quirky uniqueness that I really resonated with, she just feels like a generally good character without anything that feels super compelling to pick her over other characters to me.
she's so fun now she mogs season 3 ram
Ram ramming as per usual
All changes for Ram have their own nonsense to them. But you can mostly understand what they were going for.
The one change i can't make a single excuse for is Dauro. What the hell were they thinking?
how much of this is irrelevant after the nerfs came down?
Please. Justice for the nago ram mu. #nagonationsensation
Nago when he has one bad matchup (he’s bottom one)
@ spitting, except he has 27 losing mu’s. E
I am... accepting enough of her changes, i'm always a little :C about learning a character all over again, that's partially why I stopped playing Gio, but I don't like Calvados. I guess not sin, but in the case of Nago, Happy Chaos, and Zato can all restore their resources with their super, and Asuka can use meter to restore mana, so it's the same premise. Ignoring how like, literally broken/bugged S sword toss is, I wish we could Calvados to bring back our swords again. I WOULD ALSO STILL REALLY LIKE AN EASIER CONFIRM FOR 2K 2D SINCE THEY NERFED THE DASH MOMENTUM THAT THAT REALLY RELIED ON. But that might just be my scrub opinion. I like the new combo structure... mostly. rekka 1 cancel into rekka 1 cancel repeated until you hit the wall is... not very engaging to me as a player. Like, glad I spent all that time learning how to rekka cancel, but this isn't what I wanted.
wow!
What we need to know is that z a t o must be better
unfortunately ram finally ded
she needs it
Tru
they spent years refining my character into someone interesting and with a clear identity and then removed her and replaced her with some imposter resembling season 1 ram. its so over
I hate this update
Hi
First
I still can’t believe every patch ever since nago got released in season pass 0.5 he just kept losing to ram over and over again like what is Daisuke ishiwatari thinking man I really don’t get it 😢
Hi asome
@@shunpo5394nago players experiencing an even matchup for the first time:
Season 4 feels too different and broken that I've been losing interest in the game, they dropped the ball really badly.
That was the initial impression. But i see most people coming around and really enjoying Season 4. Yeah, there's gonna be obnoxious top tiers that kill you in two interactions but that's just Strive.
@yagami999913 season 3 didn't feel like this tho, the amount of overhauls is madness. It feels like an entirely different game and not in the fun way. I'm used to 2 interaction deaths, i am one of the characters that had that but this is just ridiculous.
