## **Character Info**

Ramza is the youngest son of House Beoulve who sets out to prove himself. As a squire, Ramza and his best friend Delita became caught up in a struggle with the Corpse Brigade and ended up defying his elder brother’s orders to rescue Marquis Elmdore from the brigade. Sometime after, Ramza became disillusioned with the actions of his family and changed his name while joining a mercenary company under Goffard Gaffgarion. After a job involving the protection of Princess Ovelia, Ramza was betrayed by Gaffgarion and defeated him in order to prevent him from doing away with the princess. This in turn led to Ramza getting mixed up in a conflict of succession, a plot involving Lucavi demons, and being branded a heretic by the church.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Ramza will hold his sword in front of his face horizontally as he glides one hand along its blade. Ramza will then do a short spin in place as he swings his sword as he readies into his battle stance.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will have Ramza’s Squire-era haircut atop his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Ramza will hold his sword defensively in front of him before twirling it in his hand and pointing upwards. As he does this Ramza will say, “If endeavored, it can be done!”

**Down Taunt:** Ramza will appear to be in concentration for a moment before he raises a hand in the air as if to catch a bartender’s attention. As he does this Ramza will say, “Have you any milk?”

**Side Taunt:** Ramza will point his blade straight ahead before swiping it to the side and saying, “Surrender or die in obscurity.”

### **Victory Poses**

1. The camera will focus on a rock being tossed gently in the air before it pans out to reveal Ramza catching that same rock in his hand. Ramza will grasp the rock tightly as he grimaces and says, “There are other ways than fighting…”
2. Ramza will twirl with his sword in hand as he makes an impressive series of slashes and swings. This will end as Ramza makes one final thrust forwards. As this all occurs, Ramza will have a determined look on his face as he says, “We are the sum of our deeds, not our names!”
3. Ramza will look up into the sky as he holds his sword vertically in front of his face. After a moment’s reflection, Ramza will sheathe his sword and turn so that his back is to the camera as he says, “The war is not yet won.”

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Stone:** Ramza will bend down to the ground and pick up a rock before standing back up, rearing back a tad, and throwing the rock forwards in a straight line for a medium distance. This rock travels very quickly through the air and is great at interrupting attacks though it deals a very small amount of damage with small knockback. By charging up this attack you can increase the range that it flies as well as the damage and knockback, but the increase to the damage and knockback is small.

### **Side Special**

**Earth Render:** The hilt of Ramza’s sword will glow bright red as Ramza jumps up shortly into the air with an uppercutting punch. This will cause an earthen eruption to occur in front of Ramza as the ground splits apart just in time for a tower of flame to gush upwards and damage fighters in front of Ramza. The initial uppercut can inflict damage as well and knock fighters hit by it directly into the path of the upcoming fire attack. Ramza is also capable of charging up this attack to increase the amount of eruptions that occur. Up to three can occur in succession with each one appearing right next to the former and a short moment after.

### **Up Special**

**Rush:** With Rush, Ramza can rush through the air as if he was flying to quickly travel in a straight line. When starting this move you can angle the control stick in any direction to control where Ramza will go. After immediately rushing in one direction, you can quickly tap the control stick again in a different direction to have Ramza rush forward once again. Ramza can Rush like this up to three times, but each direction he rushes in  must be in different directions. If the player lets go of the control stick or keeps tilting it in the same direction then he will stop rushing forward. Each Rush takes Ramza an equal distance forward with the distance being relatively short. Alternatively, if you charge the initial input of the attack then Ramza will rush forward a greater distance of about 2.5x a normal Rush. This charged Rush however cannot be chained with additional Rushes.

### **Down Special**

**Rend Armor:** If Ramza is about to be hit by a melee attack, it just might be a good time to use this special. When this move is activated Ramza will strike a defensive stance with his sword held in front of him as he readies himself for whatever his opponent is about to do to him. Ramza will hold this pose just for a moment, but if it’s been timed right and he gets hit by an attack during this time he’ll strike back at his opponent for a follow-up. It’s important to note that this move does not reduce the amount of damage that Ramza takes, but it does allow him to immediately strike back with the attack that his opponent is very unlikely to avoid. Rend Armor will not only inflict damage and knockback on Ramza’s opponent, but it will also strike directly at their armor and metaphorically crack it open as the fighter’s defense stat is temporarily reduced. For the next few seconds that fighter will take 1.5x damage from all attacks made against them.

### **Final Smash**

**Ultima:** Bluish-purple energy will encircle both of Ramza’s hands as he crosses his arms in front of him before raising them up to the sky. As Ramza is doing this he will chant, “Brush off vanity and show reality! Ultima!” When Ultima is shouted out, Ramza will throw his palms forwards as a purple orb falls down from the sky to strike down a short distance ahead of him. This orb can damage opponents as it falls, but it won’t trigger its full effects until it reaches above midway to Ramza’s height. At that point the orb will explode outward into a sphere filled with the ultimate life energy of the universe and inflict a severe amount of damage to all other fighters who find themselves caught in its blast. This attack comes down quick and once it explodes it hands around for only a couple seconds before it blasts fighters within it away with heavy force and fades away.

### **Extra Skill**

**Focus/Shout:** Ramza will start out needing to fill up a meter with energy before he can activate a powerful buff. This can be done either through making attacks against opponents or by holding down the Extra Skill input as Ramza focuses hard on the battle ahead and what he needs to do in order to attain victory. Once this meter has been filled Ramza will be able to use Shout by pressing the input once again. When Ramza Shouts he will invigorate both himself and all of his allies on the field for a short time. This will temporarily increase the damage and movement speed of Ramza and his allies while also reducing the amount of damage they take. The buff that Ramza receives will be greater than the buff his allies receive and if anyone gets KO’d they will instantly lose their buff. If Ramza gets KO’d then everyone will lose their buff.
