King Rasta Mon/Missing IQ Gomes

Introduction

Mon, you gots no rhythm and you fight like a girlie.

What would a capcom be without stereotypes? The walking embodiment of a random chimp event, King Rasta Mon is canonically illiterate. He relies on his monkey manager Freak to do the boring work for him.

While he has a shorter grab range than most characters, Rasta can depend on his speed and ambiguous cross-ups to get in and make opponents guess. His specials are awkward to use or niche, outside of 236A and 28P. Monkey assists keep your opponents locked down and can open up big rewards if you time it right.

Start/Active/Recovery Frames		8		3	19
A downward chop with good range. Average active frames, but it's not cancelable and pretty unsafe.

5LK | Far Standing Light Kick
Damage	?	1f File:Rasta 5LK 1.jpg	5f File:Rasta 5LK 2.jpg	6f File:Rasta 5LK 3.jpg	10f File:Rasta 5LK 1.jpg	14f File:Rasta 5LK 4.jpg
Hit Advantage	+1
Block Advantage	-2
Chain Cancel	Yes
Special Cancel	Yes
Run Cancel	Yes
Start/Active/Recovery Frames		4	1	12
An upward kick with only one active frame, so it’s not the stop sign it looks like. Also does little damage, so it's not really worth using in combos. Chain starting on frame 14.

5HK | Far Standing Heavy Kick
Damage	?	1f File:Rasta 5HK 1.jpg	6f File:Rasta 5HK 2.jpg	8f File:Rasta 5HK 3.jpg	16f File:Rasta 5HK 4.jpg	21f File:Rasta 5HK 1.jpg
Hit Advantage	+1
Block Advantage	-4
Chain Cancel	No
Special Cancel	No
Run Cancel	No
Start/Active/Recovery Frames		7		8	9
A straight kick with great range and active frames. Throw this out sometimes, but be aware that his upper leg is still vulnerable. You can actually link off this when used as a meaty, but that's better done with n.5HK.

Throws and Other

Throws

Grab: 8 startup, 1 active, 15 recovery.

Throw 1 (vs standing): Backdrop. Your standard throw. This notably side-swaps if you want to corner them at the moment.

Throw 2 (vs crouching): Face Chew. Like holds in SF2, this is your better grab. Unlike in SF2, this knocks down once it ends. Mashable. After the hold ends, Rasta airborne and can put out a normal but this doesn’t seem useful.

Super Slam: Motion: G, 28G. Hurricane Stomp. Decent damage for a super, but it leaves you with a lot of frame advantage. You can move before they hit the ground after bouncing and start getting up. From here you get to set up all sorts of tricks, like meaty 66HK/66j.HK, Monkey Help, or ambiguous ball crossups.

Rasta super slam grants +53 frame advantage, and holding G for super grants +68 frame advantage. The actual throw pushes you back during the animation. This puts you nearly full screen normally, close to 3/4 screen if on a cornered opponent, and less than half if you’re cornered.

Movement

Standing: Filler Text.

Crouching: Filler Text.

Walk (Forward): Filler Text.

Walk (Back): Filler Text.

Run: Filler Text.

Jump (Forward/Back): Great jump arc. Very fast and highly obnoxious.

Jump (Neutral): Great jump arc. Very fast and highly obnoxious.

Taunt: 43 frames total.

Combos

Terminology

> = next move is a chain or run cancel

>> = next move is a link

xx = next move is a special or EX cancel

Basic Combos

• n.5LP/2LP > 2LP xx G

A basic chain into grab. You can always go for a super slam, but it's also techable

Jump-In Combos

• j.HK > 2LP xx G

Same as above, but with a jump-in starter.
