While Jayce might be able to win lane against Riven (both before and after six), he won't be able to win a straight 1v1 trade. Only with poking and disengaging he can win. And believe me, if Riven stuns you with EW, you need 90 or more mana to get away. First knock Riven back, then run through the gate so that she doesn't catch up with Q. In fact, I'd call Riven a counter to Jayce, as she can actually get close to him even if he uses his knockback. There aren't many champions who can do that.

AD Malz I don't know much about, but I've seen it twice in a normal game (both sucked and were sadly on my team), and I've done it once against bots, where it seemed like quite decent. If you can fully combo a bot when he is level 6 and you level 9, you can take 50-60% of an enemy player's health when you are both six... Might work, but only if you're not out of mana before Riven is out of health (because, what do you want to do without voidlings or ult?).

Lee Sin is hard to outlane. I think Riven would win a trade, but Lee Sin has his W, E and R he can use to escape, so you won't be able to kill him.

Darius just destroys all melee.

Jarvan, really? Riven has 4 ways to get out of his ult (not counting flash), plus she has A LOT more scaling on a full combo.

Olaf maybe if he maxes true damage first. Otherwise not.

Urgot is a top laner now?

About Udyr I can't say anything as I only know him in the jungle.

Akali won't work. Why not? If she hides in her shroud, Riven's abilities still damage her. And her shroud is the reason she, as AP/hybrid carry, isn't destroyed by bruisers.

Singed can indeed be a hard one, but if you poke, and only get in his poison trail while shielded and not for more than a second, he will never be of any danger.

As someone (I think Vahldeer) said on the Renekton page, he destroyes anything but Riven. This is an even matchup, if the Riven is good, it's a bad idea to engage her.

Fiora can't engage on Riven. She either ults while Riven shields and dashes towards her turret, or she uses her Q and gets stunned while Riven dashes away.

Hecarim has nice damage, some sustain, but a straight out 1v1 he won't win, except if maybe if he already had 2 Q stacks. Which would push the lane.

Kayle only if she ults the moment Riven does. It's just about outwitting the other one here.

About Diana vs Riven I just have no idea.
