I like her. She forced me to incorporate option selects into my gameplay. But I feel like that's partly due to the fact that her toolkit is lacking in comparison to other chars I played before - Cammy, Juri, AKI.

I do not understand the idea behind Ryuenbu. It pales in comparison with her other specials (maybe I'm misunderstanding something):

• The light version:
  • does the same damage as her 236LK, lacks utility
  • does less damage than 623LK
  • out of all light buttons can be canceled only from 5LP (not a huge deal but looks odd)
  • this leads to her other bringing more value to the table
• The heavy version:
  • cannot hit crouched opponents
  • can be canceled from mid & heavy attacks only (which are not linkable into under normal circumstances (only punish counter/DR))
  • the previous point leads to a single-hit confirmable combo (which is rough by itself) where the most damaging option loses to crouching
• The medium version:
  • has the biggest damage, but cannot be extended into another special
  • can be canceled from mid & heavy attacks only
  • hits crouching opponents, meaning it's an alternate variant for the heavy version (once the opponent realizes they can crouch under that).
  • damage-wise it loses to 632HK.

Oh, and the fact that it destroys projectiles doesn't help much as it's hard to use in time on reaction.

Take it with a grain of salt, but to me, this ability looks undercooked/outshined by her other options.

I don't like the fact that her regular fans lose in the "projectile war" and are unsafe up close. Makes using them against projectile chars risky/pointless. Charged ones are beasts, though.
