Quick Guide
- Ryo is a strong character with good normals and one of the best LDMs in the game.
- He is almost always played as Leader, but can occasionally be seen in 2nd position as well (Gian, a very strong japanese player, plays Ryo 2nd).
Neutral
- Ryo has no options on range and wants to get into close range to harass the opponent with his excellent normals.
- To approach, use j.E, j.D or j.B.
Offense
- Check out this round from the latest Shingo vs. u-rasia set for a great example on how to attack with Ryo.
- Smalljump D is an extremely strong overhead option that can be used repeatedly and combos into 5A even if done very high during the jump.
- 5A, particularly after j.D, combos into 623C, which in turn can be super cancelled into ranbu or LDM.
- 2B chains into 2C, which leads to combos
- 6A is a good overhead with slight advantage that is frequently used in pressure, both standalone and as a cancel.
- 5C(c) is faster than 2C, unlike in other KOFs. 5C should be cancelled into 6A if not already doing a combo. The 6A can in turn be quick shifted.
- 5B(f) and 5D(f) can be used to contain the opponent, as they make jumping out very hard
- Make sure to use each opportunity you find to shift to Ryo if you can connect his LDM.
Defense
- 5B(f) and 5D(f) are Ryo's main way to stop jump attempts.
- Ryo's high parry has upper body invul from F1 and can be special cancelled if it activates.
- Ryo's low parry is invul on the feet from F1 and can be special-cancelled if it activates.
- 623A is invul on the feet and fast (4F), 623C has some minor invul on the upper body. Both can be used as reverals, with limited success.
- Both Ranbu (2363214P) versions have upper feet invul from F1
- LDM can be used as a reversal, but is extremely slow.

Special Attributes & Bugs
- Wakes up 4F faster on face up knockdown
- Wakes up 1F slower on face down knockdown
- Has a smaller than normal vertical collision during wakeup (128px instead the usual 160px), which allows smalljump crossups.
- Has a taller than normal vertical collision when crouch blocking heavy attacks, which prevents smalljump crossups against him (eg. Oswald j.C cannot ever jump over crouching Ryo if he blocks).
- Has no collision on back ukemi (can run through)
- Ryo's Front Ukemi takes 26+1F instead of the regular 22+1F
- Has no recovery when landing from a DOWN! and can act immediately.
- Has less landing recovery after Saving Shift: only 4F/5F (hit/whiff) instead of the usual 9F/10F
- The only character other than Gai & Malin (via a bug) that can QS their LDM.

Universal Strategy vs Ryo
Ryo's 236236E
Ryo's LDM is slow, but has a lot of invulnerability and a trade is always in favor of Ryo. It also has very high pushback on block, which can make punishing it relatively difficult. The best way to punish the LDM is to input the punish already in the super freeze(eg by buffering a roll, or an invulnerable special move)
The following characters can punish 236236E on block even on max range (incomplete list):
- Adelheid: 236236D; LDM
- Griffon: nothing
- K': 214B/D; 236236A/C
- Kula: LDM
- Maxima: 214A
- Oswald: LDM
- Terry:236236D
