This page is still a work in progress renovation-wise, consider joining as an editor to help expand it. Please update this character's roadmap page when one of the editing goals have been reached.

In Progress	To-do
Overview/General Gameplan: Entire section probably needs a total rewrite. Move Descriptions: Finish updating move descriptions to modern standards.	Combos: Probably reformat this section and cut out bloat. Add damage / meter values and vid examples as always (Additional Ressources/Players to watch/ask) (Add any external links to resources such as video guides or articles.)

Overview

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths	Good air buttons. Great damage with meter. Good meter gain. Plenty of gimmicks and knowledge checks. Her AAD and LA makes her pretty menacing while she is in Blood Heat.
Weaknesses	Pretty bad pressure, has to take risks. Quick to run out of HP. Without meter, damage isn't great. A lot of ground normals are very slow.

General Gameplan

Neutral

Mostly being precise with j.B and 5B.
Use your quick airdashes to get in or retreat.
Retreating is important for C-Ryougi, as it sets up her quick airdash to get in when the moment presents itself.

Offense

C-Ryougi has mediocre pressure and usually ends up giving up on it and falling back to neutral, unless you want to take some risk.
Example blockstring: ...5B > 2C > 5A(whiff) > 5B > 2C... If you want to take risks, you should go for rekka high/low (236A>214A/214D), frame traps(half charge 5C or 6C), unblockables (use 5C or 6C the others are too slow), or the 421 series for a crossup overhead (preferably B because that one is jump cancellable so you won't die on block)

Unblockables

You have 5 unblockable moves. They are generally weak, but work well vs F-Moon opponents, because they don't have the option to dodge.
Since they cannot dodge, they are forced to shield it, or use some kind of reversal. They usually shield it, as it is easier.
You cannot combo from hitting an unblockable.

• 5[C] is the fastest unblockable. Active on 31st frame. Main drawback of this move is that opponent can tech in the air after getting hit.
• 6[C] is active on 33rd frame. However opponent cannot tech in the air, so you can catch them teching in the air. It also has bigger range than 5[C] and doesn't move you forwards.
• 623[A] is active on 38th frame. This is an unblockable you want to do as a meaty rather than pressure reset. As meaty it is fairly safe, the only way to punish this is to have a good enough backdash.
• 623[B] is active on 45th frame. Useless, same properties as 623[A] just slower.
• 623[C] is active on 40th frame. Same properties as 623[A] just a bit more dmg + screen flash might scare opponents into trying to block it.

One big note about unblockables is that they do big amounts of red hp damage.

• 5[C] and 6[C] do 1500 normal hp dmg, and 3000 red hp dmg.
• 623[A] and 623[B] do 1500 normal hp dmg, and 3500 red hp dmg.
• 623[C] does 1900 normal hp dmg, and a whopping 4500 red hp dmg.

So consider opponents red hp gauge and if you want to clear it.

421 series

C-Ryougi has a unique 421 series that crosses up and hits overhead. The monke flip.
This move pretty good as it can be cancelled from normals, and is not easy to punish.

• 421A is the fast version. Active on frame 30. Big drawback is that it is not jump cancellable, making it risky vs shields you can still special cancel with j.236C to punish shields or combo.
• 421B is slower. Active on 36th frame. Can be jump cancelled. Has a weird airdash restriction, if you started combo/blockstring off of ground dash cancel e.g. dash > 2A, then you will not be allowed to airdash after this move.
  If you fully recover the dash, then do 2A > 421B > jump cancel, then you can airdash.
• 421C, active on 27th frame (there is some flash freeze, so this is very much reactable). Mainly used as an escape tool from the corner, some starting frames are hit invulnerable.

Okizeme/Setups

C-Ryougi has a 50/50 setup in the corner.
It's fairly technical because it's character specific.
The combo string is 2AAA > 2B > 5BB > 5C > 2C > (delay?) 5A > 236C.

Doesn't work on Aoko, Tohno, All Akihas, and Kohaku. Always out of the corner.
Always crosses up on Kouma, Miyako, Len, WLen. Can still be used as a knowledge check.

Works on rest of the characters, however the delay varies to get crossup or not per character.
The lower the opponent(more delay) before 236C, the bigger the odds that they will be pulled out of the corner.

Defense

• 421C
• 214C
• TK j.236C

Combos

Combo Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so the actual notation used in pages can differ from the standard one. For more information, see Glossary and Controls.
X > Y	X input is cancelled into Y.
X > delay Y	Must wait for a short period before cancelling X input into Y.
X, Y	X input is linked into Y, meaning Y is done after X's recovery period.
X+Y	Buttons X and Y must be input simultaneously.
X/Y	Either the X or Y input can be used.
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack X with Y follow-up input. Input X then within a few frames, input Y. Usually used for option selects.
X(w)	X input must not hit the opponent (Whiff).
j.X	X input is done in the air, implies a jump/jump cancel if the previous move was done from the ground. Applies to all air chain sections: Assume a forward jump cancel if no direction is given. Air chains such as j.A > j.B > j.C can be shortened to j.ABC.
sj.X	X input is done after a super jump. Notated as sj8.X and sj9.X for neutral and forward super jumps respectively.
dj.X	X input is done after a double jump.
sdj.X	X input is done after a double super jump.
tk.X	Stands for Tiger Knee. X motion must be buffered before jumping, inputting the move as close to the ground as possible. (ex. tk.236A)
(X)	X is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input X is held down. Also referred to as Blowback Edge (BE). Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input X is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. This type of input is referred to as Negative Edge.
{X}	Button X should only be held down briefly to get a partially charged version instead of the fully charged one.
X(N)	Attack "X" should only hit N times.
(XYZ)xN	XYZ string must be performed N times. Combos using this notation are usually referred to as loops.
(XYZ^)	A pre-existing combo labelled XYZ is inserted here for shortening purposes.
CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit.
Air CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit on an airborne opponent.
66	Performs a ground forward dash.
j.66	Performs an aerial forward dash, used as a cancel for certain characters' air strings.
IAD/IABD	Performs an Instant AirDash.
AT	Performs an Air Throw. (j.6/4A+D)
IH	Performs an Initiative Heat.
AD	Performs an Arc Drive.
AAD	Performs an Another Arc Drive.

Move Descriptions

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Move Box Colors	Light gray = Collision Box (A move lacking one means it can go through the opponent's own collision box). Green: Hurt Boxes. Red: Hit(/Grab) Boxes. Yellow: Clash Boxes (When an active hitbox strikes a clash box, the active hitbox stops being active. Multi-hit attacks can beat clash since they will still progress to the next hitbox.) Magenta: Projectile-reflecting boxes OR Non-hit attack trigger boxes (usually). Blue: Reflectable Projectile Boxes.
Damage	Base damage done by this attack. (X) denotes combined and scaled damage tested against standing V. Sion.
Red Damage	Damage done to the recoverable red health bar by this attack. The values are inherently scaled and tested against standing V. Sion. (X) denotes combined damage.
Proration	The correction value set by this attack and the way it modifies the scaling during a string. See this page for more details. X% (O) means X% Overrides the previous correction value in a combo if X is of a lower percentage. X% (M) means the current correction value in a combo will be Multiplied by X%. This can also be referred to as relative proration.
Circuit	Meter gained by this attack on hit. (X%) denotes combined meter gain. -X% denotes a meter cost.
Cancel	Actions this move can be cancelled into. SE = Self cancelable. N = Normal cancelable. SP = Special cancelable. CH = Cancelable into the next part of the same attack (Chain in case of specials). EX = EX cancelable. J = Jump cancelable. (X) = Cancelable only on hit. -X- = Cancelable on whiff.
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. L = Can block crouching H = Can block standing. A = Can block in the air. U = Unblockable.
Startup	Amount of frames that must pass prior to reaching the active frames. Also referred to as "True Startup".
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish. X denotes active frames with a duration separate from its origin move's frame data, such as projectile attacks. In this case, the total length of the move is startup+recovery only.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled. The character goes into one frame where they can block but not act afterwards, which is not counted here.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup that is at least 2 frames less than this move's negative advantage, it will result in the opponent hitting that move. ±x~±y denotes a range of possible advantages.
Invul	Lists any defensive properties this move has. X y~z denotes X property happening between the y to z frames of the animations. If no frames are noted, it means the invincibility lasts through the entire move. Invicibility: Strike = Strike invincible. Throw = Throw invincible. Hurtbox-Based Properties: Full = No hurtboxes are present. High = Upper body lacks a hurtbox. Low = Lower body lacks a hurtbox. Miscellaneous Properties Clash = Frames in which clash boxes are active. Reflect = Frames in which projectile-reflecting boxes are active. Super Armor = Frames in which the character can take hits without going into hit stun.

Moves forward very slightly. Her second best combo starter and best overall standing poke; can be repeated into another delayable 5B. It has terrible lag on whiff however, and is prone to backdash-canceling and dodges. 5B~B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 600 343 70% N, SP, EX, (J) LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 3 18 -4 6.0% Clash 5-7 A close range knife swipe follow-up to her 5B. Has good range, but not as long as her 5B. Keeps her in place. Used primarily in combos and pressure strings to add damage/deplete guard meter.

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 900 490 55% (O) N, SP, EX, (J) L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 13 2 28 -12 9.0% - Slow, long-range crouching low slash that also moves Ryougi forward. Gives an untechable knockdown and hits at a very large arc in front, behind, and a little bit above her. Great option after a ground throw, as it will hit exactly on wakeup. Very useful in blockstrings and staggering combos as it propels Ryougi forward, allowing her to catch any backdash cancels. Had its active frames nerfed from AA to CC, changing the timings on many of her corner combos.

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 3500 (3080) (4761) 100% - U, LHA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 17+3 2 (35) 5 45 -31 removes all Full 1-2, 17-70 A weaker version of Seven Scenic Demise, it acts the same way in that it can OTG and blow through projectiles, but it has a slower startup and does less damage. You can jump out during the super flash. You can also just block it, as it only becomes unblockable if you're near Ryougi during the startup of the super, and even then you can just mash 88 and you'll be able to jump out of it 80% of the time. If blocked, Ryougi will not be in counterhit state, but have enough time to combo off the recovery.

Active on frame 1, it is an unblockable super that works as a grab/throw. You have to jump before the super flash, or you'll be caught by it. Can OTG and blow through projectiles. You can't dodge it, as dodge runs out of active frames before the appearance of the lines. Very strong reversal at the cost of BLOOD HEAT.

If during BLOOD HEAT, a DP is EX shielded, the screen will flash white as if to signal the activation of the Last Arc, but the throw whiff animation will come out instead. Will activate when shielding any projectile, from Hime pillar to Aoko's Arc Drive. One of only two Last Arcs (the other being Roa) which ignore Last Arc proration (100% to 50% based on Blood Heat duration).
