Ok, can we talk about his default move, Savage Slide? I feel like everyone replaces it with Leopard Krawl or whatever and it gets no love. I think Savage Slide may be more useful than Leopard Krawl. Don't get me wrong, I think LK is amazing for oki and for heavy rushdown, but where Rambo really needs help is in the neutral. Like another user said, his up-close game is great and his zoning is great but his mid-game is not great. Savage Slide fixes those issues.
It kind of reminds me of Sindel's hated f4u3, just a crazy advancing move that allows Rambo to roll backward to safety if it's blocked. It even avoids many flawless-block attacks. It allows you to pester your opponent for 7% damage with each hit, all while charging a crazy-easy-to-hit KB (it's actually one of the few uses of meter I've found for Rambo, who otherwise doesn't really need meter). However, since it's a special, it can be canceled into. So, it's like Sindel's f4u3 if you could cancel into it.
The biggest weakness I see is its slowness. Savvy opponents may be able to flawless block it on reaction, or poke you out of it. However, there's a trick to adjusting the timing of the move to make it harder to counter in those ways. If you just press bf4, you'll do the mid-range slide. And if you hold forward, you'll do the long-range slide. However, the long-range slide has a longer startup due to an extra animation. If the opponent reacts to the wrong version of the slide, you'll either hit them or get blocked and roll to safety.
[Edit] After a bit of field testing it actually looks to be too damn slow to be of any realy use. Darn.
