Anyway, about skill is debatable who's the best (granted, idk anything about bleach), as Riz has always been regarded as a very skilled magical girl, and has several years of experience (and only a few magical girls are capable of surviving that long, even one who has been a mg for a year is considered a veteran). She was also capable of catching off guard other magical girls who have done nothing but fight in a war for years like Corbeau or Lapin, and every magical girl has at least city wide sensing. About him one shotting her, she can dodge, and her being a glass cannon and all means she is actually good at that.
So I'll give this to Riz mid-high diff, sooner or later she will be able to catch him off guard. Also forgot before, she also has ranged attacks with her knives (maybe others but I can't remember now)
Well do remember Ichigo has both flight and speed amp. If we're talking about experience Ichigo has fight someone with hundreds of years of training and fighting like Kenpachi who is always train in dojo in his spare times and Grimjoww who lives in a world where it kill or be killed. And Ichigo has experience of fighting someone that can use a tiny millions of sword that can attack from any sides.
And it is totaly in character for Ichigo to use getsuga early in a fight. Like the video I posted above.
He'd need to notice it to escape via flying, and since he likely wouldn't until it's too late I don' think it will help that much. And btw she has already fought flying enemies.
Well tbf Ichigo has senses someone that attack him from behind (Byakuya, Shinji and probably more). And every spiritual beings barring Ichigo can hide their reiatsu. And he actually has feats of sensing someone from a separate space called dangai.
And even fodder Hollow can do something likethis and Ichigo can react just fine and that's him without shunpo.
>Her shadow restraint can't be noticed by someone with city wide sensing good enough to let them sense witches
Well, Beings with higher than average levels of reiryoku possess the ability to sense other spiritual beings without relying on their five basic senses. But ehh I digress.
Which is why I vote for inconclusive.
Both have way to avoid each other's attack. Ichigo's flight and shunpo is a good way to avoid the shadow stuff and so does Riz's shadow hiding stuff.
Both can technically one shot, Riz with her shadow and Ichigo with almost any attack.
If they decide to do close combat then both of them can use still use their ability (Ichigo used point blank getsuga tensho twice against priveron espada in shikai and I believe she also can spam her shadow in close range right?) this is become a scenario of "who hits first" where both combatant has way to avoid each other's best attack and will likely to spam their best move.
If Riz can caught Ichigo's off guard then I also can argue Ichigo can caught her off guard, he can use shunpo to appear behind her and use point blank getsuga because he do that in character and Getsuga has pretty good AOE. And I believe her shadow has good AOE too right?
Conclusion: They both can win, this can go either way.
