Starters
Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Joe can follow up with light Hurricane Upper (426A) into Slash Kick (426K) for an easy conversion.
Depending on the distance from midscreen to the corner, Joe can dash up after Hurricane Upper into Bakuretsuken (623A/C or 623AC) or 6B.
In the corner, if Joe is not point blank to his opponent, he can restand the opponent with 426A and can follow-up by linking 5A or cl.D if he is close enough.
Combos
Notes
623P and juggle combos
Joe's most damaging and stun-heavy corner combos involve 623P, usually with a single mash extension, hitting 3 times total, with the opponent bouncing up after each hit.
This is done by inputting 623P, which causes 2 hits, then inputting PPP while the 2nd hit is connecting. You can also just mash right up until the 2nd hit connects and Joe should stop after the 3rd hit.
Combos that end with 623P~PPPx2~214A are done by mashing 623P until the very last hit, then late-canceling that hit into 214A.
This will result the rapid punch hitting a total of 5 times, with 3 distinct bounces: 1~2, 3, 4, 5 > 214A.
All juggle combos listed should not require any manual timing outside of the ~214A ender; i.e. no manual delays are required. (WIP editing/adding combos for most practical routes)
2B 2A vs c.D starters vs crouching/standing
6B whiffs vs crouching opponents, but since c.D forces standing, c.D > 4B > 6B can always be used to start all relevant combos.
4B connects vs crouching opponents, so 2B > 2A > 4B will always work, but (2B > 2A > 4B) > 6B will whiff vs crouchers.
