Introduction
Ryoko is an oddball. Coming in dead last in regards to tiers, she doesn't have a solid way to deal with fireballs and other seemingly basic situations. She is also short, has small attack range and has a weakness on her head. Why play Ryoko? One word. Damage. Ryoko is a high risk high reward ride that is full of trying to set up situations in where you can have a safe jump in into fire wheel for HUGE damage.

Match-ups
Vs. Clown:
Vs. Jean Pierre:
Vs. Kano Ryoko (self):
Standing Hard Punch is the game breaker here. You will use this as your primary poke: it'll hit Ryoko's weakness and let you combo.
Vs. Karnov:
Vs. Lee Diendo:
Vs. Liu Feilin:
Vs. Liu Yungmie:
Vs. Marstorius:
Really bad. I hope you can throw faster than Marstorius, because his Double German has more range than your Fire Wheel. He also has many more solid poking options to score combos... I hope you're ready for yet another uphill battle :/
Vs. Matlock Jade:
Vs. Mizoguchi Makoto:
Vs. Ray McDougal:
Ray will throw fireballs the entire match and trip you on jump in. If you jump in from close, he'll wheel kick you. Try to force Ray to misjudge a wheel kick distance in order to score a free Fire Wheel. You can't do much in this uphill battle, but I've sen it won. Good luck!
