Ryo has the essence and hallmarks of a classic shoto, but lacks the proper zoning tools such as a meterless fireball, making him more of a rushdown character. Ryo has long been considered a "moving fortress" due to his defensive tools, including: a reversal DP; a parry for highs and mids, and a parry for lows that he can use to extend pressure; and his 236P that serves as a large poke instead of being a fireball. Ryo also has a suite of excellent normals that allow him to maintain a close range presence; his CD and cr.D are whiff-cancelable, his j.CD has excellent range, his cr.A links into cr.C up close, and many of his light normals are either plus or slightly negative on block.  
Despite his shotokan appearance and shoto-esque moveset, Ryo is not much of an all-rounder as one would assume. He is more of a rushdown character, and a terrifyingly effective one at that.


That isn't to say Ryo doesn't have his flaws, though. For a shoto or a rushdown character, Ryo is surprisingly slow, which means any holes in a Ryo player's gameplan can easily be exploited. If you want a character with notable defensive tools without sacrificing damage or pressure, then Ryo might be the pick for you. Ryo is best played in the mid or anchor position, as having meter makes Ryo significantly more threatening.
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 Hyouchuu Wari (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—just make sure you're ready to get in the opponent's face.

| pros=
| pros=
* '''Great Pressure''': Ryo excels at being up close. His suite of great normals and his 236A psuedo-fireball allow him a huge amount of pressure opportunity once he's made his way in. His mixup game is also very scary due to 6A, which is a 22 frame overhead that can be Quick Max'd for big damage. 4A is a powerful tool when used meaty due to being plus on block, so a clever Ryo can consistently loop his options.  
* '''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 Duke (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.
* '''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.
* '''Notable Defense:''' Ryo's defensive tools are what make him stand out from the rest of the cast, most notably his parries, which allow him to react faster than his opponent and not accumulate chip damage if timed correctly. A well timed (EX) Zanretsuken can lead into massively damaging combos if used on defense. Some of Ryo's pokes, such as st.A, st.C, st.CD, or cr.D, can be cancelled into command normals (st.A, st.CD, cr.D) and special moves.
* '''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.
* '''Great Offense''': Ryo works wonders when he has a stockpile of meter to play with. 214B/D is a fantastic juggle tool which leads right into 646A/C for big damage. This combo also leads into good Okizeme when performed, which Ryo can capitalize on to run his game all over again. As well, Ryo can spend 0.5 bars to perform 50% combos in the corner very easily, allowing him to two-touch his enemies without spending much resources at all.  
* '''Parries''': Ryo has a unique way of warding off projectiles and other reactable zoning tools with his parries. Parries can destroy certain projectiles when hit and lead into combos or supers when catching strikes, and their simple inputs give Ryo the ability to easily perform them on reaction. Ryo's long-reaching sweep can even be cancelled into parry, which makes it quite safe.  
| cons=
| cons=
* '''Simple Playstyle''': Ryo's gameplan is very straightforward; he has few tricks to catch opponents or knowledge-check with. While his gameplan is rewarding in practice, he relies heavily on strong fundamentals to win.  
* '''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.
* '''''Sluggish''''': Ryo is ''very'' slow for a shoto which makes him weak to anyone more mobile than him. His lack of a meterless fireball also hurts his zoning capability and makes him overly-reliant on his DP and parries for defending his approach. Unlike many other slow characters as well, his buttons are quite average in terms of size, and he does not have a great 'neutral skip'. Because of this, he finds himself having to work his way in against the majority of the cast, and it makes it much harder for him to convert off lights as getting close enough to do so is far less possible.
* '''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. Knowing how to approach and controlling your spacing is key to beating the opponent.
* '''Reliance On Meter''': Ryo needs meter to make his parries threatening, as their ability to cancel into supers or his combo-starting 214BD is what helps them maintain their threat.

Ryo sticks his foot out. Despite being super cancellable, this move doesn't have enough hitstun in order for a super to connect. Therefore, it should only be cancelled into Quick MAX combos. The hitbox is also noticeably smaller than the animation implies, so this isn't the best poke Ryo has.

Ryo performs an uppercut. While it is still his fastest heavy normal, it has been faster. As a result of the startup increase, this move can no longer be linked into from 2B.

The King of Fighters XV

Overview • Strategy • Data • Combos • Replays

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.

Gameplay Summary

Despite his shotokan appearance and shoto-esque moveset, Ryo is not much of an all-rounder as one would assume. He is more of a rushdown character, and a terrifyingly effective one at that.

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 Hyouchuu Wari (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—just make sure you're ready to get in the opponent's face.

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 Duke (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. Knowing how to approach and controlling your spacing is key to beating the opponent.


Quick Combo Reference

In a nutshell

  • Confirm into 214BD > 623C > Super.
  • You can squeeze an extra EX in with 214BD > Close D > 646AC > 623C > Super.
  • In the corner you can do 214D instead of the EX to save meter, but only against standing opponents (and 2C forces stand).
  • Comboing into 236A doesn't need to be confirmed, and allows for follow-ups in the corner.

  • Non-duckable high poke.
  • Cancel into 214B/BD when anti-airing hops for possible Counter Hit combos.

Ryo's st.C is now special-cancellable, meaning Ryo can get hugely damaging combos with meter from landing this move. 214BD is your best option, since it leads into his big damage combos like his other combo starters do.

In terms of blockstrings, Ryo has better options. cr.D connects into 236A more reliably and leaves Ryo safer on block than if this move was used on its own.

  • Ryo's fastest heavy normal. Only the first two active frames hit grounded opponents.
  • Cannot be late canceled the way Close C/D are.
  • Forces stand, thus ensuring that 214D combos land.
  • Very unsafe on block or whiff.
  • Due to systematic changes, Ryo can no longer link into this move from cr.B.

Ryo performs an uppercut. At 4 frames, it is one of the fastest cr.Cs in the game and tied with cl.C for his fastest heavy normal. However, it is a very risky move at 24 recovery frames and a -10 block disadvantage, requiring Ryo to cancel into something that is safer on block if the move doesn't hit.

  • When out of range for a 2B > 2A confirm this is your go-to.

Ryo sweeps his leg across the ground. It's a bit slow for a shoto sweep, but it has a great deal of range, and Ryo has excellent blockstring options from this move. If it whiffs, he can just input 3D to decrease his disadvantage.

  • Increases Power Gauge by 80 points on successful parry.
  • Can be instantly followed up with any kind of special (including supers) or another parry.
  • Can be whiff canceled if canceled into.

Ryo's parry for high and mid attacks. On a successful parry, a distortion effect will appear around Ryo, and he can immediately follow up with a special, a super special move, or another parry. It has a 4-frame startup, so it is relatively fast, but it is not instant. Furthermore, whiffing the parry will leave Ryo wide open and vulnerable to being severely punished, so it is best not to be predictable with this move. However, at 14 frames, the move is very active, so those with good input timing may find it very easy to shrug off attacks with this parry.

  • Increases Power Gauge by 80 points on successful parry.
  • Can be instantly followed up with any kind of special (including supers) or another parry.
  • Moves Ryo forward, regardless if the parry connects or not.

Ryo's parry for low attacks. Compared to his parry for high and mid attacks, it can be a bit tougher to use because it's slower (but not noticeably so) and not as active, but what makes it special is that it moves Ryo forward a significant amount. For moves that have command-cancelability, Ryo can cancel into this move to stay in range and continue his pressure.

  • 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.

Typical shoto uppercut, but done with the inner fist instead of the outer fist. Ryo's 623A is relatively special in that it has lower recovery than other light DPs, allowing him to follow up with numerous options depending on how high the opponent is juggled.

A version: 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.

C version: Hits twice. First hit does more damage than 623A, making it good for super canceling.

EX version: 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.

Ryo unleashes a short-ranged ki blast from his palm. What this move lacks in horizontal range and speed, it makes up for with a larger vertical hitbox, faster recovery, and higher damage values than other characters with fireballs.

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.

A version: 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.

C version: Sends Ryo very far, and given its active frames, it is capable of hitting an opponent near the middle of the screen even when Ryo is in the corner. Unsafe point blank, but can be made safer with proper spacing.

EX version: 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. Ryo's tatsu is unique in that its multiple hits do not occur consistently throughout the move—the first two hits occur rapidly at the start, with a long recovery period before Ryo attacks again; the third attack (D and EX version) also has a long recovery period before Ryo lands back on the ground. Unfortunately, this means that Ryo's tatsu is significantly more unsafe than other tatsus in the game, and Ryo is likely to get severely punished if this move is blocked. For these reasons, Ryo's tatsu is best used only as combo filler.

B version: Situational punisher and combo ender after 623A. Very high block disadvantage and recovery; a guaranteed death sentence on block.

D version: 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.

EX version: The move. Pretty much all the damage Ryo is capable of midscreen stems from this move. While it may not do a ton of damage on its own, it's the fact that he has a ton of highly-damaging combo options from this that makes it so threatening.

Ryo enters a stance and performs several high speed punches with his inner fist. If any of the hits snag the opponent, they will be vacuumed in and hit by the rest of the move's attack. 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.

A version: 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.

C version: Combos from heavies but the poor range and speed means the move will not connect after 6A. Launches the opponent.

EX version: Does the second most damage and has anywhere juggle properties. Launches the opponent. Applies heavy scaling, so be careful with where you use it in a combo.

  • Does no extra damage whatsoever on a counter hit due to a cinematic 0 damage hit at the start.

A massive punch with more range than the animation implies. Technically hits twice due to a 0-damage hit at the start of the cinematic, which also prevents Ryo from scoring extra damage from a counter hit.
