You should keep in mind though, that 4C isn't all that fast, and that her sweep loop doesn't work on a good chunk of the cast. Her knife catch (mini)game is pretty exciting though.

That's true, it doesn't work on the entire cast.  Nanaya and Tohno have her number on that one.  But so far as people it does work on (off the top of my head), it includes Akiha, Arcueid, Nero, Warachia, and Sion. 

And yes, knife catches are addictive

Fair enough; we will have to agree to disagree on F and H.  AAD is difficult enough to get on it's own, and come December 26th it will most likely get patched / fixed / removed if Ryougi gets put into Final Tuned.  Unblockables are indeed good, but they don't net any extra damage if one hits, so in my mind 4C into sweep loop is a better deal than 5[C].  Ryougi needs every bit to compete, no matter what the moon.

Back when MBAA was still fresh, I had a hell of a hard time as it was trying to figure out which moon to stick to.  If H is considered low tier, then I'm going to try my absolute hardest to at the very least, change that notion.

I sat down and watched H Ryougi combo vids again, and I changed my opinion of her a little.  She has excellent combos, what with sweep loops and knife throw extenders.  That small fact puts her above C and F moon in regards to the amount of damage she can dish out, which is a lot.  She doesn't have any sandoori level mixups, but she does have very basic traps using her arc drive.  A lot of her moves give untechable knockdowns as well.

4C is a terrible overhead for being so short-ranged, but she can go into them rather easily from just a simple 2A 5B > 4C block string.  Plus, if you manage to land one, a sweep loop is waiting for you (depending on the character of course).  A blocked Air j.C > 6A+B > j.C is another example of a basic mixup game.  You can ignore the second j.C and just land normally, and move into a low hitting move.  214B is alright as far as overheads go, but it's not too reliable as it kills momentum on block.

Her guard crush strings are pretty beefy though.

j.C > 6A+B > j.C (land) 2A 5BB 2B 5C 2C >22A > 2A 5BB 2B 5C 2C 214C > j.B (land) 2A 5BB...

I'm not so sure if F would be better than C or H due to her damage output.  It's pretty small.  Her range saves her, but put that against a character with even more range and she's at a disadvantage (I'm thinking of F Nero for example).

Speaking as an H-Ryougi player, she really feels mid-tier to me.  A bit weak on pressure, slow normals, and nothing glaringly spectacular about her aside from her above average range.  Her range is great, but you hardly use it once you're knocked down and in the corner. 

I'm no F or C specialist, so I can't really comment on them.  But I would venture to say C has better tools than H, in more ways than one.
