Ryo is the son and entrusted owner of Takuma Sakazaki's dojos for the Kyokugenryu school of Karate. As a child, Ryo spent his time training his body and eventually became so powerful that he was nicknamed The Invincible Dragon. Naturally, he is extremely strong-willed and will spare no effort getting things done. Even to this day, he continues to train himself to his maximum potential.
Jump: 39f Hop: 32f Backdash: 22f Run Speed Ranking: 7
Ryo Sakazaki treads a fine line between being a standard shoto and a rushdown character. He has all the characteristics and hallmarks of a shoto, but lacks the proper zoning tools—and instead is built around pushing himself in with his surprisingly advantageous pressure.
Ryo's tools are designed to push him into close quarters, and make it hard for the opponent to send him out of that range. Instead of having a meterless projectile, he uses Ko-Ou Ken (236P[P]), a rather large pseudo-fireball that either keeps him in place (236A) or pushes him forward significantly (236C). Both of these versions can leave Ryo plus on block from a relatively close distance.
Ryo's fireballs aren't the only things that can leave him at an advantage. Ryo's frame data is extraordinary, having lengthy normals that leave him at a better block advantage than a majority of the cast. He also has a command normal, Kizami Duki (A+C) than he can cancel into from a canceled 6A, which leaves Ryo +2 on block while still leaving him within effective distance of the opponent. These options give Ryo a powerful pressure game that is hard to contest.
Ryo also has some of the best defense in the game. Besides having a very fast DP, he is also the only character in the entire roster to have access to parries (6B, 3D) which have very fast startup, are extremely active, and push Ryo forward slightly. These parries can make Ryo hard to zone out as well, as he'll only build more meter from zoning attempts.
One would think that Ryo's excellent defensive options would mean he has poor damage output, but in all actuality, Ryo hits very, very hard. One EX Hien Shipuu Kyaku (214BD) opens the door to multiple combo options, such as Zanretsuken (646P[P]), a highly damaging multi-hit attack that can end in a hard knockdown (646A) or be used to juggle the opponent even more (646C/AC). To put it simply: Ryo has some of the best damage output in the game.
In the end, besides being a rather simple character with a slight weakness to zoning and reliance on meter, Ryo doesn't have any real fatal flaws. Ryo works well in any team position, but is especially powerful on anchor.
Ryo Sakazaki is a rushdown-oriented shoto who trades zoning tools for an intimidatingly augmented offensive and defensive game.
Pros
Cons
Insane Damage Output: Given his multiple juggle and launch options (including a meterless launcher), Ryo is capable of racking up tons of damage without having to spend a lot of meter at all. In fact, Ryo can deal up to 583 damage with just one bar from anywhere on the screen. Most of the cast can only get 470 damage or less with one bar. Which means if Ryo gets a hit on the opponent when he has a lot of meter... chances are they're probably going to die.
Fantastic Meter Build: DP-style moves build plenty of meter on their own, but only Ryo is capable of using his DP twice in a combo, allowing him to build an absurd amount of meter and gain nearly half a bar back from using both 623A and 623C in a combo.
Great Pressure: Ryo excels at being up close, with several plus-on-block normals and parries that can create 50/50 mixup scenarios. Frame traps come easily to Ryo, who can cancel his 6A into Kizami Duki (AC), a slow but plus advancing mid. Ryo's 6A also serves as a raw overhead that can be Quick Max'd for massive damage.
Frame Data: Being a rushdown character, Ryo's kit is designed to let him get in and stay in. Ryo has significantly more advantage on his normals than a great majority of the cast. All of his light normals range from being +3 to -1 on block, while his st.C and cr.D have noticeably more frame advantage than most other characters have for their respective moves of the type.
Top Tier Defense: Ryo has unique defensive capabilities in the form of parries (6B, 3D) which are extremely fast countermoves that can nullify any attack as long as the proper parry is used. Besides preventing Ryo from accumulating chip damage, the fast recovery of the parries means that should a parry connect with an opponent's attack, Ryo has plenty of time to counterattack with a highly damaging combo route. Ryo can cancel into these parries from any command-cancellable move, even if that move whiffs. Overall, Ryo's parries contribute to his excellent punish game.
Heavily Fundamental: Ryo does not really have anything that might catch the opponent off guard besides his parries and his overhead. He doesn't need a ton of meter to be a real threat, but having access to at least half a bar significantly improves Ryo's capabilities. Mostly, Ryo players will have to utilize strong fundamentals in order to win.
Mediocre Mobility: Ryo isn't exactly slow by any means, but he's not fast, either. Ryo shines up close, but he can still get overwhelmed by pressure. With Ryo, you must take care in how you approach and use your tools at your spacing.
Quick Combo Reference
In a nutshell
Confirm into 214BD, 623A, 623C > 236214A/C or 214BD, 646A > 236214A/C midscreen.
An extra 0.5 bars can be spent in the corner by doing 214BD, 623A, cl.C > 646AC, 623C > 236214A/C.
In the corner you can do 214D instead of the EX to save meter, but only against standing opponents (which can be forced using 2C).
Comboing into 236A doesn't need to be confirmed (but is weak to GCRoll), and allows for follow-ups in the corner.
For an extra 2 bars, Advanced Cancelling 236214A/C into 641236AC allows you to continue the combo in the corner with 623C, or 623A, cl.C > 646AC, 623C if you have another 0.5 meter and 646AC hasn't previously been used.
Landing an air-to-air allows you to pick up with 646AC's anywhere juggle, which can be followed up with 623C > 236214A/C in the corner.

Extends Ryo's head hurtbox.

Moves Ryo forward, which is great for strings & combos, but also means you cannot stuff out wakeup throws with it.

Ryo's fastest heavy normal. Only the first two active frames hit grounded opponents and are cancellable.
Forces stand.
Very unsafe on block or whiff.
Very fast cr.C that is a powerful anti-air thanks to Ryo's ability to cancel it into his 646AC anywhere juggle, leading to huge damage. Do be careful with using this because cr.C has a lot of recovery and massive disadvantage on hit and block.

Whiff-cancelable.
Has an enormous hurtbox stretching from Ryo's foot to the opponent's round start distance during recovery frames.
Ryo's farthest reaching normal that works decently for space control at only -5 on block, but necessitates canceling (especially whiff-canceling) due to its enormous hurtbox during recovery.

Can be easily beaten out by mashing opponents.
Combos into cl.D at close range.
Can be canceled into from Hyouchuu Wari (6A) if Hyouchuu Wari is canceled into.
A slow, wind-up punch that pushes Ryo forward. Leaves Ryo in relatively close range and is plus on block. Since Ryo is able to cancel into this move from 6A, he can use it to create frame traps/blockstrings that leave him at an advantage. As a move that has very long startup, though, this move should not be used raw.

A very fast DP that is arguably one of the best anti-airs in the game since it can become a highly damaging combo starter if it hits a jumping opponent. Also an excellent combo ender with high damage potential.
623A: Allows for combos on opponents that are in the air. Options include 623C, cl.C, 2C, or 214B. Very low recovery compared to other 623As, unless it gets blocked.
623C: Hits twice. First hit does more damage than 623A, making it good for super canceling.
623AC: Hits once, but does more damage than both of 623C's hits combined. Can be used to end combos when there's no other metered options available.

Generates a very small amount of meter during startup.
As only the EX version is a true fireball, the meterless versions are considered physical strikes and therefore use the standard hitbox, meaning they can't be reflected, but they can still be countered.
Ryo's "pseudo-fireball"— a mid-ranged attack that functions similarly to a fireball, but lacks the fullscreen range. Compared to true projectiles, Ko-Ou Ken has slower startup and range, but more than makes up for it with higher damage, faster recovery, and a larger vertical hitbox. It also knocks down if it hits, which is great for Ryo's pressure.
The EX version is similar to your standard fireball, especially with its slower recovery than meterless, but it is still a very fast fireball with high damage.
All versions allow for corner juggling, making this move an important part of corner combos.
236A: Used for safe blockstrings and frametraps. While it doesn't hit until frame 17, the projectile can't be prevented from coming out from frame 12 and onwards, even if Ryo gets hit - which is great for corner pressure, since you can combo even after trades. Ryo has an extended lower hurtbox during active frames, which makes it easier to punish him with a sweep.
236C: Immense forward movement, pushing Ryo about half-screen. Unsafe point blank, but can be made safer with proper spacing. Decent as a midscreen approach tool due to its absurd disjoint.
236AC: Full screen projectile that hits twice and can power through non-EX fireballs. Great for winning fireball wars. Plus on block even at point blank, allowing for some extended pressure, especially in the corner.

Ryo leaps into the air and performs two flying kicks. This is your most basic combo ender, but definitely should not be randomly thrown out in neutral because of its high block disadvantage and recovery.
214B: Situational punisher and combo ender after 623A. Very high block disadvantage and recovery.
214D: Combos from lights from a very close distance. Does the most damage and has the least amount of block disadvantage/recovery, but is still a guaranteed death sentence on block. Can be used for starting corner combos. Combos into 214B.
214BD: Your go-to move in confirms. Launches the opponent.

Functional hitgrab; the full animation will not play out unless the move properly connects.
Does no chip damage whatsoever.
Ryo enters a stance and performs several high speed punches with his inner fist. If any of the hits snag the opponent, it will trigger the main attack that either knocks the opponent away (646A) or launches them upwards (646C/AC). Even with meter, this move has poor range and long startup, meaning it is very hard to use as a combo starter or after 6A. Secondly, Zanretsuken pushes Ryo back on block, so if he is unable to land it, not only will Ryo be left wide open, but he will be sent out of close range, where he works best. For these reasons, Zanretsuken works best as a midcombo extender, such as 646A after 214BD or 646AC after 214BD, cl.C/cl.D.
646AC is the cornerstone of Ryo's metered combos. Faster, more damaging, and more active than 646C and even having anywhere juggle properties, it is part of what makes getting hit by Ryo's metered combos so threatening. Ryo can only connect this move once per combo, so be sure on which version you want to use.
646A: Combos from lights and causes a sliding hard knockdown, and is Ryo's only hard knockdown option outside of supers. Does more damage than the heavy version.
646C: Combos from heavies but the poor range and speed means the move will not connect after 6A. Launches the opponent. An excellent combo extender after a close heavy, and allows for more immensely damaging combos.
646AC: Does the second most damage and has anywhere juggle properties. Launches the opponent, but can only be followed up in the corner. Applies heavy scaling (counts as 10hits - so +50% DR), so be careful with where you use it in a combo (damage representation has been modified accordingly to help understand Damage Scaling)

MAX version is as fast as C version, but with a longer activation freeze.

Ryo shoots a massive fireball from his hands. Compared to Robert's fireball super, it's a bit slower by a frame (level 2) or two (level 1), but it has significantly less recovery.
