Some Guide About... Ryo Sakazaki (A KOF Character Guide)

[@Neogears1312]

I’ve always described Ryo as an offensive wall. I feel like it really encapsulates his play style; instead of a defensive wall trying to hold his ground and keep you at bay he slowly approaches you and suffocated you.

[@musabjunaidi]

My favorite character of all time. Whenever I get my hands on a KOF game he is my first pick. This has been my tradition since 94.

[@dyldragon1]

Already know this gonna be a banger guide for a character I don't even play

[@shasperthd4796]

^ this :D

[@MrParallaxFx]

I find the description of Ryo being a "very fast moving brick" very funny, but accurate lol

[@neoncloud5494]

Best guides for this game on KZbin, hands down.

[@travisbahadur7790]

Lol every time I watch one of your videos you end up changing my mind about trying out these characters.

[@PiccoloNamexio]

Literally the best KOF guide on yt, nice

[@CapNsTrider]

Appreciate your breakdowns! Good expectations and a sample of what to look for in each vid- keep up the good work!

[@gustavolaurenti]

very good guide. Adding that after QCB D, if you land the 2 first hits in mid screen, you actually can follow up with a QCB B

[@matiasmorales073]

right when I was thinking of trying him... cool

[@gabsnandeshd9854]

I'm learning so much to you...thanks!!!

[@emaculatej650]

Basically Ryo in this game is Kage with parrys

[@HamsterPants522]

His normals are faster and safer than Kage's too.

[@leoalcaraz6153]

More like a sadder version of dan

[@R-1988]

I personally don't like SNK fighting games with the exception of Mark of The Wolves which I feel is the best fighter that they've ever done and maybe KOF 97. Having played some KOF as a kid, I could have sworn that Ryo was much, much faster than what I'm seeing in this video. It also baffled me that Ryo was also slow in Capcom Vs. SNK 2 and I could have sworn that his fireball was a normal fire ball like that of Hadoken. I'm almost certain he was much faster in SVC Chaos as well.

[@allenzale342]

Ryo is MAD fast in 94-95, fast all the way through until 99 and becomes mid lvl fast until 13 when he becomes the brick shithouse he was in AoF 1 and 2

[@Marvinheim]

My main since 94' together with his pal Robert and then Clark. Also I wish he got 1 more special move

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

Thanks

[@traviswilson36]

Good video

[@robpires9407]

Nice guide

[@blkmoon_gaming8339]

what song at the end

[@inkwarsandroid3963]

KOF 13 Art of Fighting stage theme

[@mattaug6273]

Dan if he locked in

[@MidnightBikerHostility]

His jump LK is way easier to cross up now.

[@Avalon64]

take it you didn't beat the game as the AOF team if you're still calling him the Kyokugenryu BBQ's heir...lol

[@GhibliNova]

Ehh. I respect the attempt to classify him but he is fundementally a shoto. He's just a tank variation of a shoto. Just like how Robert, Oni, Evil Ryu, Akuma, Dan, and Sean are all various takes on a shoto

[@carlostelevida]

he's not a shoto anymore because of kof95 where he was plain broken.

[@allenzale342]

The only shoto move he has is the DP, all of his other specials do different things

[@theedwardian]

Don't forget Allen, Kairi, Gouken, Kage, Mr. Karate, and Batsu!

[@leoalcaraz6153]

He’s a dan not ryo horrible range slow speed and no way to get people to either to get someone to jump in or close distance; I’ve never heard of defensive as a playing arc type and those parties are garbage ; Robert is pretty much the new face of AoF

[@GoldenOrderBS]

Ryo being top/top mid tier in almost every game he's in, and busted in the newest game be like:
