KOF XII - Ryo Sakazaki thread

[The-priest]

Nope, that will be Robert. But also most whored will be Kyo and Iori, also doesn’t help that they are S tiers T_T

If Ryo had a full screen fireball special, then maybe your prediction would hold some water.

Most people don’t like his ‘fireball’ which is just a glorified punch and that he is a ‘‘weak shoto rip off’’ as stupid as that assumption is.

im just going off of ryo’s appearance i know robert is gonna be whored out too but at least for the first month i think alot of new players are gonna have ryo in the lineup along with others like robert terry joe etc, im exited cause i havent realy gotten too deep in any kof game, i played '99 casualy for 3 years but other than that i competed briefly in xi and dabbled in 98 um

1. Bump.

2. While Ryo would be attractive to newbs because of his Ryu/Ken/Dan-like moveset, that’s not how newbs choose their characters.

They look at the box for that.

[PELVIC_THRUSTER]

Am I the only one that’s curious to why Ryo looks like Akuma now?

[Ryodragoon]

Especially with that blue costume
Cause he’s mastering the “Art of Fighting”
hell if I know. but he does look real mean in this game.

yeah it seems like this is more AOF/FF Ryo and not KOF Ryo. Thinking that helped me alot with him, in this game.

anyone able to get a Zanretsuken (f,b,f+P) after a full Hien shippu (hcb+D,D)? it looks possble but I dunno, cause I keep getting the fireball super, which combos anyway.

also, (dp+A)x4, C, CD, qcf,hcb+p is a rediculous CC combo

I believe Ryo’s parries are really gonna help in this game. There’s already a video somewhere that shows they can pretty much parry anything.

[MGO_Count]

I just found out how amazing Ryo’s regular standing LK.
It’s like one of his greatest pokes.

And the fact that he has a nice DP that would beat out those jump ins! :lol:

Amazing character.

Ive only able to do it on corner but try, Standing D, CD, hcb+D,D, f b f+P and it should connect, timing is strict tho but does really nice damage.

It only works in the corner, just to confirm it.

[Luigi-Bo_87]

Ryo’s fucking NASTY in this game.

cr.b.cr.a, fbf+a is soooo good

I haven’t read this thread at all(lol) but here are some CC’s I shot off to Dark Geese for Ryo

Midscreen -
CC, CD, hcb+dd, dp+a (x2), CD, ranbu super - 479 DMG (dayum)
CC ,CD, hcb+dd, dp+a (x2), fbf+c - 377 dmg
CC ,CDm hcb+dd, dp+a (x2), hcb+dd, hcb+b - 359 dmg (and his coolest looking one to me)

Corner
CC ,CD, hcb_dd, dp+a (x3), fbf+c - 394 dmg
CC, CD, hcb+dd, dp+a (x2), CD, ranbu super - 479 DMG
CC, CD, hcb+dd, dp+a (x2), CD, dp+a, C RESET

• From here you have a 3-way misup between f+a overhead, throwing, and cr.b, cr,a. fbf+a for like another 150 dmg!

[MGO_Count]

I got a 524 DMG combo: (corner only)
CC > 623LP > 623HP > 623LP > 623HP > > 2363214 LP (super)

Lol.

Damn it! I should of guessed going with CD, since it’ll make the HCB+DD knock em higher, and yeah I forgot to mention the corner.

[Luigi-Bo_87]

CC > 623LP > 623HP > 623LP > 623HP > > 2363214 LP (super)

Lol.

Most skillful combo ever Easy mode half life combos = win Ryo is sweet:smokin:

[Ryodragoon]

see if you can add (stand C, CD) after the fourth DP

[FullMetalRoss]

From what I can tell these are the best ccs midscreen and corner with or without super…

Midscreen (no super)
dp+a, run, dp+a, run, dp+a, run, dp+a cd xx hcb+d,d, depending on height dp+c or fbf+c 528 and 538 respectively. There is a chance you will get lucky and hit them high enough with hcb+d,d to do another hcb+d,d its not consistent but it makes the damage 600ish.

Midscreen w.super (same thing just do a super at the end not really worth it imo)

Corner (no super)
dp+a, dp+c, dp+a, dp+a, cd xx hcb+d,d f,b,f+p 569 (I think forget the exact number)

Corner super
dp+a, dp+a hcb,f+c, dp+a, cd xx f,b,f+p 606
You can get more damage than that, if you do a dp+c as the first dp but its much harder to get the rest of the combo if you do that, also if you do hcb,d,d before the f,b,f+p you get a bit more damage but its also really tough.

Ryo is really strong.

[MGO_Count]

what does xx mean?
I’ve seen it so much but never bothered to ask anyone.

But wow 500-600 ish damage combos? HAX!!
(Gotta try em out tonight)

My BNB’s -
(Near corner)
j.C or D > C or D > CD > 63214D,D > 623C - Around 300 dmg.

c.B > s.A > 623C

[FullMetalRoss]

xx means cancel, so cancel the before attack with it.

And yeah Ryo does lots of damage, midscreen or corner if he lands a cc, it’s always half a life bar.

[MGO_Count]

Oh so, xx is frame cancel. I see, thnx!.

Hmm. Am I the only one who find jump light attacks useless?
I can’t seem to find use of it.

[FullMetalRoss]

Ryo’s hyper hop (super low jump or whatever) lk is really good imo.

Both of those combos can be ended with hands instead for more damage

Also, jumping lk is a pretty good crossup and yu can combo standing c after it if done right against standing or crouching opponents
