Ryo is an American smasher from the Atlantic South region of Gainesville, Florida. He is considered the best Ike in the United States, on par with San. While some consider him to be the best Ike in the world (as San is currently inactive in the community), this has yet to be solidly proven on an international scale. Ryo is popular in the Florida community and is well-liked by everyone who knows him. He is currently ranked 1st on the Gainesville Smash 4 Power Rankings and was formerly ranked 3rd on the Florida Brawl Power Rankings.
Originally playing Roy before Brawl came out, Ryo moved from Melee to Brawl and took up Ike when he learned that Roy was not on the roster. Ike's up aerial has been affectionately nicknamed the Ryo-copter after Ryo himself, as he has scored many impressive KOs using it in matches.
Ryo is known for his performance at WHOBO 4; he placed 5th using Ike and defeated top players such as UltimateRazer, TheReflexWonder, and Shaky during his run in bracket. With his doubles partner, True Blue, he also took a game off Ally and Trela, the winning doubles team. Although they later lost the set, the set has become well-known in the community.
