One of the titular newcomers to Real Bout 2, Rick is a notorious offensive powerhouse with great pressure, loads of combo chains, and the ability to cash out obscene amounts of damage and corner carry on a clean hit. He has pretty much everything he could need to win, sans a projectile. Some of his attacks are easy to bait out and Breakshot, but playing defense against Rick means letting him get his game started, so you're playing with fire the entire time. He sits deservedly in the top tier.
Pros
Cons
Strong suite of normals and combo chains
High combo damage, and also an infinite
Smothering pressure
Multiple special moves with evasive properties, invincibility, or built-in movement
Two unblockables, one of which is a Breakshot and can lead to a juggle
Sick stage theme
Slow overhead that's easily reacted to, limiting his high/low mixup
No special ways to get around zoning, and his only projectile is his P-Power
Attacks are commonly easy to Breakshot
