World Heroes Perfect/Ryoko

Introduction

Ryoko is perhaps the most difficult character to use and to evaluate. She does poor damage, even on her command grab, but she shares a lot of Dragon's strengths (speed/wall jump/air priority). A good deal of her difficulty comes from using her bajillion autoguard normals, as that property is only present during the first few startup frames. f+MK knee gives her some good offense. Her DP+MK allows her to attack on the way down, making it pretty safe against some characters. QCB+P is considered a projectile and delivers tons of chip damage, same with the EX version (forget how much invincibility it has). Her d/f+HP and d/f+HK roll under a lot of things and hit low, and she can kara-cancel the HP version into command grab/DP+MK/super! She's one of the characters I understand the least, so I can't say a whole lot about her matchups - she can go toe to toe with Ryofu, I know that much!

NOTES: It’s easy to overlook amongst all this info, but check out that dashing low HP! It pushes you back quite a ways, though, so you can’t infinite with it or anything, but still…

You CAN infinite with repeated dashing low MPs, or dashing HKs on a crouching enemy, but both are extremely difficult.

Also especially noteworthy is the qcb+LP. I can see some super-tight pressure strings with that...

The 2nd hit of neutral HP whiffs on almost everyone crouching.

Low MP should be used as a dash attack, not while crouching. The 2nd hit whiffs on almost everyone if you didn’t dash.

There is never any reason to use d/f+HK, from what I can tell. It has the same speed as d/f+HP but worse recovery and no kara-cancel ability.

All 1f (yes, it’s 1 frame not 0 like I thought) moves can be used as reversals, and all throws fall into this category.

One last bit which I haven't seen posted anywhere else - her hcf+P command grab is similar to later Capcom command grabs, in that the lighter versions have more range while the heavier versions deal more damage.
