Ryoko is a Judo
prodigy who is proud of her family's history. One day, her father went
missing, forcing her to carry on his wishes. She enters the Great Grapple
tournament to prove to the world the strength of Judo. By the end of the
second tournament, her father finally returns home. Her father congratulates
her but states that she'll never surpass him. He then throws her and tells her
that her real journey has just begun. Like Ryoko
from World Heroes, she is based on the real life Judo world champion,
Ryoko Tani. Her story also takes inspiration from the manga, Yawara!.

She's the other
Ryoko! Not the "cute" Ryoko from World Heroes... the
more serious badass female Judo practitioner in a 2D fighting game named Ryoko!
lol. Street Fighter 2 copycat fighting games in the 90s can get confusing sometimes.
Anyhow,
Ryoko from Fighter's History is indeed based off of a real life Judo
champion, so that's cool.
Ryoko has a few decent moves, but her posture and actual animations in the game seem off.
Her hunched stance looks weird, even if it's a normal Judo position. She seems
unbalanced and uncomfortable during most of her movements and attacks. Her 2D sprite is also
freakishly small... I can hardly see her
on the screen at all. IMO, her moveset is pretty boring. She also 100% stole
Ryu's crouching fierce punch (totally a rip-off)! Compared to the rest of the
Fighter's History cast (and other fighting game characters of the
time), she's a bit boring and forgettable. Otherwise, she's not too bad!
