Welcome, since I'm probably going to be maining Ragna or Rachel, I'll be attempting to collect all their basic info, strategies, combos, and frame data.

There isn't much in-depth knowledge about anyone at this point, so for now here is Ragna's movelist:

789
456
123

Standard notation in fighting games, exactly like the numpad. 4 is back, 6 is forward 8 is jump 2 is crouch, and so on.

(Just going to be referring to the buttons as A B C D, from left to right, for now until we get some official notation in english)

D (Soul Eater)
-> 6D
-> 2D
-> ?D

Specials

Dead Spike | 236A
Hell's Fang | 214A
Follow-up | 214D
Inferno Divider | 623C or D
Upper ????????????? 236C
Follow-up A (off of Upper) 236C
Follow-up B (off of Upper) 214C
Guntread Hades | 214 B
Follow-up 214 D

Supers (Uses half of the offensive bar?)

Carnage Scissor | 236236D
Blood Cane | 214214D
Orange Arc | ?????????? 214214D

Moves updated 05.09.08, names subject to change.

As more information becomes available I will keep this thread updated on this first post. I will also get these moves translated at some point.

Looking forward to the updates. ^ ^

I was actually going to make this thread a General Gameplay Guide, so changing the title accordingly. When the game comes out it'll contain most of the basic info. Regardless I'll make a General Discussion thread including that info on it's first post.

Updated with some move name translations.

this man has nough moves.i have a question, does ragna use his souleater to also regain health, and if he can he should have a move ( not a super combo, more like a grab ) that can do that. he should also have a move were he is in the air, strikes dive down to the floor puting his sword in the ground like a tomb stone with impact, and another move when he swings his sword basicly releasing the absorbed energy from his opponent. also, since his battle strategy is to put pressure on his opponent, he should have a super combo furry, and i mean punch punch kick kick.

right now it looks like Ragna has great pokes. Helps that he has a dragon-punch type move as well, so he'll get out of corner pressure really easily.

He also has a forward exe-beast type move which will drive people up a wall lol. >.<
