I was bad, now I'm good

Can't forget the dog tho

Props to Sin for recognizing that what she really needed was a good boi and a good burger

Yeah, Ramlethal is such an interesting character... as a Valentine, she's not really used to having human's emotions(sad, happy, angry,...) and only cared about winning; but, thanks to Sin's motivations(the burger, of course), and some help from Bedman?, she slowly learns about the importance of emotions, and becomes what we know as her is today. P.S: Can we talked about the fact that her theme is a banger, too? It's not fitting for a competitive match, since it's too long; it's more fitting for character developments, and it tells a story about Ram's journey of learning emotions... plus, Naoki-san and Aisha-san really slays the vocal - just look at the ArcSys concert as an example - like, they just killing the vocals(especially Naoki-san; the man's singing as if "it's a dead tomorrow"!) 🤘🤟

You know, this actually makes PERFECT sense. I so see it now

The beginning is hot garbage but the rest is awesome

@@msked-ktfgamiing1153 the beginning is beautiful and originally the only reason i liked the song. then i kept listening and i grew to adore it.

It's because prog metal is too advanced for most normies. This track is my favorite outta the whole OST.

This song pretty much forced me to buy the game. I’m not sure how it can be one of the best songs I’ve heard and yet still be the worst in other’s eyes. But whatever, it’s incredible

I mean with this game every character theme is so good that one person's least favorite is someone else's most favorite

@@zerobeatw2059 did you listen to Tarkus the title track from that album? that shit bangs so hard

I feel like it is mostly because it is in a fighting game, it has a slow and steady buildup that might not even get halfway into before the match is over Amazing song like you said, one of my favorite songs, period. But it is best when not inside a game that is really keen on ending the match as fast as possible, and thats where most of the “hate” comes from I suppose

@@EzKay_PX IMO i actually prefer the first minute im not much of a metal fan so that might be why

It's not my #1 favorite Strive theme, but that's only because Let Me Carve Your Way exists.

@@SSM24_ Let Me Carve Your Way is my second favorite so I'm 100% with you on that haha

@@EzKay_PX This song also happens to have one of my favorite music tropes of changing the chorus at the end drastically in order to get a new message across. You're expecting the chorus to be the same as the first, but instead it shifts into something so much faster and hypes you up more. I love it lol.

I mean wouldn’t you if you got a burger from Danny Missiles?

Sins more a jonny test mofo

Imagine what a Snickers would've done

and her dog got obliterated by some comatose bed twink but the burger is funnier

@@spectoestis3106true. Bedman truly said “I’m not killing a child” so killed a dog to teacher her the value of life and how each life is unique. Only to then totally be willing to kill kids at the end of the story before Robo Ky and Venom kick his ass.

Well All ggst character theme’s are when you think of it. Ez examples are: Ky’s theme (wants to do whats right but realizes the concept of right and wrong isn’t black and white and tries to be better) Potemkin (Fights for the people because he knows that no one who could easily help people will do it:those in power. His resolve will last till his dying breath)

Not sure how you roped feminism into this but I think the song is chiefly a rejection of nihilism. It’s not that good and evil don’t exist, it’s that they give each other meaning. The necessary discrepancy being that you can’t have one without the other. Ram was sent to destroy everything, essentially to return the universe to its blank state. Black without white, or white without black. But a blank slate has no meaning, no point or purpose. When Ram was given that burger, the duality of life was truly laid bare before her. All things born eventually die. Something good, fated for bad. A cow was killed to make the burger, but that burger will give much needed sustenance to the humans who evolved to eat such things. Death is now giving life. The bonds of others are only part of the answer. We form these bonds BECAUSE life is so hard and fraught with danger. If we didn’t need to eat, if we were invincible or immortal, if we needed and wanted for nothing, we wouldn’t really need anyone else. Such a perfect being wouldn’t even need to birth more of its kind because it won’t need to be replaced or improved. It would just be. A stagnant, unchanging thing with no real purpose because it has nothing to struggle against. Even many things we consider “bad” or “evil” are ultimately just trying to survive, like the carnivore who kills its prey for sustenance we can only do what we can. We’re shaped by the world and we shape it back in kind. Yin and yang, black in white and white in black. The Universal Will saw all the suffering in the universe and decided to toss it away like a wormy apple. But Ramlethal looked the worm gave the worm its face-to-face before taking it down with everything, and realized it was just living its life. Ram saw beauty in the lives of the beasts, and couldn’t lie to herself about it.

@@SentientBratwurst The feminism I was discussing is actually feminist ethics, which is a specific branch of ethics created due to the historical exclusion of women from discussions on philosophy and ethics, at least in much of western philosophy (this isn't to say that there weren't women philosophers, some incredibly well known and important philosophers were women, but historically men have tried to exclude women from this sphere or use philosophy as a justification for the subjugation of women). Men would argue that women weren't rational enough for philosophy, and that reason and logic are the most valuable things, and thus women shouldn't get a say. Obviously, women aren't actually any less rational than men, but because of that being the justification for exclusion some people started forming systems of feminist philosophy, such as feminist ethics. Feminist ethics rejects the rational used to exclude women by instead focusing on interpersonal relationships and emotions in determining what is right or wrong. The whole branch of ethics is a way of examining moral dilemas and choices based on the importance of the people to you, and the connections you have to others. This I felt connects to Ramlethal, as she goes from being a purely logical entity, to learning about other people and forming connections with others which ultimately causes her to rebel against her mother. She didn't learn to appreciate uniqueness and the contradictory nature of humanity just because she had a burger, but because she had people there to give her a burger and form connections with. That's why her dog is so important, because she forms a connection with a specific individual, only to learn that her connection was for an individual, and therefore that bond cannot be replaced when broken, though new connections can form. That being said, I do agree with your view here. I agree that this is primarily about her rebelling against Nihilism, about embracing the contradictory nature of reality and humanity, and embracing how that contradictory nature creates value, life given meaning through death, and black and white only meaning something in contrast to each other. I still think the feminist ethics does apply here, but it does so in furthering the opposition to nihilism. me saying that good and evil don't exist wasn't entirely accurate, it is more accurate to say that they both exist within humanity and that contradiction present within everyone, and that's why no one is inherently good or evil. I hope I explained my interpretation of ethics here well, and also thank you for offering your input, I appreciate the critique!

@@InfernalEnbyI do indeed see where you’re coming from. Perhaps I was too quick to dismiss the “feminist” angle, the word raises my hackles in our current social climate so I am glad to see my comment received well. That said, I agree with the more emotional angle too! I may have also gotten a bit carried away with the burger, but you’re right about the context of it. Beyond the implications of a burger’s existence, the fact that someone was nice enough to give her one despite everything is almost certainly what finally turned her around. If she can become friends with people named Sin and Badguy, why not the other flawed humans? And if she, a logical monster of erasure, can feel that way then surely there’s something good to be found in just about anyone yeah? I must thank you as well for your thoughtful comment and reply. I feel I’ve come out of this with a deeper appreciation for Ram, this song, and maybe even my friends and family now that I think about it…

@@SentientBratwurst I want to add to the discussion by also mentioning how the idea that things being "good" or "bad" being a result of our labeling them as such gives off a particularly Taoist vibe imho. The white and black giving each other meaning, opposites defining each other, and our tendency to judge one opposite as "better" than its counterpart is what the yin/yang symbol basically represents. If I ever pick up GGST again I'm gonna main Ram lol

You forgot the teeth on her coat

​@@SalmonidSplat I didn't even notice that

*Cries in Zato theme

I dunno, I still think it works well in-game. Not every battle theme has to be super hype and fast-paced, and honestly I think the more laid-back tone fits well with Ramlethal's calm demeanor and her more patient and calculated mid-ranged gameplan compared to a lot of other characters.

@@SSM24_ If that's your opinion that's fine, but (at least from my interpretation) it's the calmer first half of the song that's actually from the Universal Will's perspective, not Ramlethal herself ("Just Burns Up Time" etc.), so when you only get to hear that part, it doesn't fit her all that well in my opinion.

@@SirknightDevoir Fair enough. I know practically nothing about the lore so all I'm going off is what I see during battles :p

Proposed buff for Ram - on Round 2, skip to 3:23. They did that in SF3:Third Strike, like on Round 2 of Jazzy NYC 99, it'd just skip right to the sax solo.
