What I said before...

Make sure your deck consists of 8s, 9s and 0s now unless you don't have any item cards that are that high.

Here's the strategy from Bradygames Official Strategy Guide:

Focus on the number of zero cards in your deck. If you have too many zero cards, Riku will constantly card break Sora. If you have too few, he will decimate Sora with his combo attacks. Use an approximately 70%-30% ratio from the deck used against the Darkside when going into this battle, making sure to keep at least one zero card tucked away at the beginning of your deck for emergencies. If you've been only keeping 3-4 Cure cards in your deck, you might want to up the number by one or two. You'll need them to cast Cura or Curaga at the end of each round.

Use the zero cards only to card break Riku's Dark Aura.

Riku's attacks are also fast and hard to deflect. He also has the ability to break Sora's attacks easily. Add to that his amazing speed and you'll find yourself sweating to keep up with him. But if you can pin Riku into a corner--especially when he's trying to reload his deck--you can inflict some serious damage. Riku has three HP bars, so prepare for a long fight.

As for me, I just kept card breaking his butt with sleights. Cloud's Omnislash was my favorite, but Riku had a habit of breaking it when I used it. So, keep some 0s handy to break any sleight he might attempt. Make good use of your enemy cards. They might seem useless at first, but they help when you know how to use them.

Just remember that the Larxene fight's the moment you chase Riku to the next floor, so when you defeat him, go back to the last save point and heal before continuing.

Does that help?
