Quick Guide

Ryo is a strong character with excellent normals and one of the best LDMs in the game.
While he is at his best as Leader, he doesn't really need meter to be good and is most often played in 2nd position, usually together with Kula+Gato, forming what is considered by many to be the best team of the game.

Neutral

Ryo has no options on range and wants to get into close range to harass the opponent with his excellent normals.
To approach from afar, use the strong j.E.
Once you are a little closer, you can also use j.D or j.B.

Offense

Check out these fights against K'/Oswald from a Shingo vs. u-rasia set for a good 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) are excellent normals in any situation and 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 good ways to stop (small)jump attempts.
623A is invul on the feet and fast (4F), 623C has some minor invul on the upper body. They are very useful as anti-airs. Both can be used as reverals, which is however dangerous.
Ryo's high parry has upper body invul, the low parry feet invul, both from F1, and both can be special cancelled if the parry activates.
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
  • 632146D on incoming (after a DOWN!) is banned. It is allowed as okizeme (on waking up opponent).
  • The only character other than Gai & Malin (via a bug) that can QS their LDM.

Combos

  • 5C/2C > 6A (yes, that's his bnb!)
  • 2B>2C>214K or 236P or LDM
  • (j.D>)(5A>)5A, then...
    • 214K
    • 623C Super Cancel Ranbu / LDM
  • j.D (Crossup) > 2A link 5C...
  • j.D, 5C>646P: punish combo.

Shift Combos

General

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): Alternatively, a Guard Cancel Roll can also be used for a guaranteed punish.
