The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Ryo Sakazaki

Normals

Close

• cl.A/B/C/D are special cancellable
• cl.A chains into itself
• cl.B is very negative on block and best used within combos
• cl.D does good guard damage and is fast for a cl.D, slightly negative on block

Stand

• only s.A is special cancellable
• s.A chains into itself
• s.B is a great horizontal spacing tool
• s.D has a steep upward angle that makes it a decent anti-air tool. On crouching opponents it will it near the end of its active frames. On smaller crouching opponents such as Chin or Bao it will whiff completely

Crouch

• cr.A/C/D are special cancellable
• cr.A/B chain into themselves and each other
• cr.C has a totally vertical hitbox that is useful as an ant-air
• cr.D is whiff cancellable
• all his crouching normals are safe to -1 on block
• many of Ryo's BnBs stem from his cr.A/B starters
