1. Why a Ramon FAQ?
  Most people dont use Ramon, they say: Ramon moves are hard to use and
perform"!!!! or... Ramon is strange"!!. Well, I liked Ramon because he's a
different character, he's charismatic (for me :P), your moves have good
priority, and require "stilish" to perform like TIGER LOADDDDDAAAAA"!!!, so...
I think Ramon is a funny char, and...not a char for begginers :P

5. Move analysis:
The comments are to the important moves.
The rating in the moves will be * to the worst and ***** to the best :D

Command Moves:
Down Forward + B: Slow when used alone, but excellent for damage in combos
after a close C or D ****-

Stand:
A (Close): Fast, comboable... ***--
B (Close): Good move, hits low and is comboable. ***--
C (Far) : Fast move, if a opponent runs at you, abuse it, excelent priority.
****
C (Close): Fast, comboable. ****-
D (Far): Long range, slow anti-air... use if your opponent jump in you (far
screen). ****-
D (Close): Comboable, use C instead. ***--
CD: Attention using it, the recovery is better than 2001 but dont use it always
(use when you think the opponent will sweep you, (caution with your thinkings
:P). **---

Crouch:
A: Poke move and comboable. **---
B: Poke move, hits low, not comboable. **---
C: Slow, comboable, use stand close C instead. ***--
D: A normal sweep, good move ***--

Jump
A: Dont use, best jump ins... *-----
B: Good for follow up combos. ***--
C: Good priority, use as a cross up"!! ****-
D: Hummm... use C or B instead, B stuns the opponent for more time than D.
***--
CD: Fast, high priority anti-air move. *****

Special moves:
Feint Step: Well, it's better you do a C version instead tap b,b, why? You'll
gain more pow bar :D, use the A version ONLY in the C, df+B combo, cus it will
connect now :D ***--
Tiger Neck Chancery: Fast, long range grab, good damage, fast recovery now.
****-
Rolling Sobat: Use it to start BIG DAMAGE combos with the supercancel. *****
Tiger Load: Dont use it, only when you go crazy and try supercancel in the
tiger load cancel...heh"! **---
Somersault: Use when the opponent turtle, or use to trick him because this move
is fast and Ramon don't say nothing like Yashiro hcf+kick grab, and...use it in
C, df+B combo :D ***--             Force of Will: Use it, better than tiger
load, and it is more fast, do it when your opponent and you are near end of
screen. ***--
Spinning Kick: Slow, but has high priority when Ramon is "falling", good
recovery... **---

Desperation Moves:
Savage Fire Cat: Unblockable move, use when both characters are near the end of
screen. ***--
Tiger Spin: Grab DM, unblockable, good damage, use the SDM when
supercancelling. ****-
El Diablo Amarillo Ramon: A ranbu DM, good in combos, fast and it has
invencibility in start up. ****-

Hidden super desperations move:
El Diablo Tiger Load: VEEEEEEERY GOOD MOVE TO SEE HEHE, I love do it, GREAT
damage, 3 random finishers, use in combos"!!! ***** ^_^

Supercancels:
Recovery and...tiger load cancel, cancel when his butt hits the
opponent...LÓU"!!!

6. Strategy:
  Ramon is a zoning char, dont stay stopped, run, jump cd for pressing, abuse
the C, df+B, rolling sobat combo, and always link the df+B after the close C to
do more damage.

  Anti-airs: Jump CD, dont jump in the opponent only do up+CD :D, sometimes
far D is usable or El Diablo Amarillo Ramon DM cus the fast and invencible
start up but doesn't work all the times and you'll trade hits.

  Mind games:
-Jump and do nothing or a move soon you leave the floor, when you touch the
ground, grab the opponent, well, this is a cheap strategy for all grapplers :P.
-Run, stop and somersault, the opponent stay confused cus the run and
somersault animations are identicals.
-Do the Rolling sobat and after recovery the most probably thing is that your
opponent will crouch or block a future move, so...run and Tiger Spin your enemy
:)

7. Combos:
Combos, well...damage combos"!!!
-Close A,A, Tiger neck chancery or Tiger spin.
-Close B,A, Tiger neck chancery or Tiger spin.
-Jump C, C, df+B -> Tiger neck chancery
                -> Faint step A version
                -> Somersault
                -> Tiger Spin
                -> El diablo amarillo Ramon

-C, df+B, Rolling sobat -> Flying body attack
                         ->Recovery
                           ->Tiger Spin
                           ->El diablo amarillo Ramon
