The Shockwave attack of Riku is unblockable so you need to dodge it in order to keep yourself from the damage.
Avoid using any attack if his Omnidirectional Guard attack is activated as your attack will be reciprocated by another one.
Once you hit him, keep hitting and don’t give him time to recover as it might give him time to throw him attacks on you. If Data Riku’s shield is up then you might consider dodge his attacks and not attack him until his shield wears off.
