And then, while still in the air, you can attack, and Riku will do this downward swing at Ansem, that Ansem almost never blocks, that hits him two or three times. Doing this keeps you out of range of all of Ansem's non-sleight attacks, if you do it fast enough. Just repeat that air attack and you will beat him in no time.
That downwards swing is also in the normal 3-attack combo. Hit, and the next attack will stun Ansem. Because he is stunned, he will not respond and if you're fast enough, you will do that swinging move to him, normally it will attack twice, but in Ansem's case, it does three attacks in one blow.
