Stat wise, Ryuki is weaker compared to his successors in the Heisei era. Not to mention that the Contract beast won't always obey him and may eat him if he isn't fed or his opponent breaks his belt. (The Advent Decks are the least durable devices in the series).

If anything, Ryuki's Dragredder is an easy target to remove, simply turn him against Shinji or a skilled fighter can use their power or strategy to destroy him or trick Dragredder into hitting Shinji to shatter his deck.

Ryuki is also slow to attack, as he needs to draw those cards from the Drag Visor, making him vulnerable to a few cheap shot quick strikes.
