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

2C

Standard heavy starter. 2C is fast, has good range, and forces stand. Works after a jump-in.
cl.D
80
Most damaging starter, but a bit slower than cl.C/2C. Works after a jump-in. Also a low, making it useful to catch throw tech attempts in pressure.
cl.C

Standard heavy starter - same speed and damage as 2C.
f.C

Cancelable far normal.
cl.A/cl.B/2A, 2C

Light link into 2C. Note that cancels into 646C/AC will not combo. Can work after a jump-in but is finicky.

Combos
General Notes:
For combos involving 646AC or any of its varieties, holding 6 during the move that you are going to cancel from makes the execution far easier. For example:
While Ryo's starters are listed above, his combos involving 646A/C all tend to be spacing-dependent and only work on standing opponents. 2C forces stand which can help alleviate this issue, but the input is harder.
All of Ryo's starters can be comfortably comboed into 214BD (Ex Hien Shippuu Kyaku) and it is generally recommended to get comfortable with extensions from 214BD first.

Optimal midscreen punish combo that builds more meter than it costs. Requires standing. If you have enough time to land a jump-in for your punish, the previous combo is preferred as it is significantly easier to land after a jump-in.
Powerful corner combo that builds incredible meter and stun for the cost. If you are further out or you used 3 light normals, use the midscreen confirm instead.

If Ryo's back is too close to the corner, it is impossible to link cl.C after a spaced CD. However, a point blank CD can always link into cl.C.

Possibly the most damaging 1-bar combo in the game. Although it technically costs 1.5 bars, the meter gained from the combo overall generates around 0.5 meter that will be used to perform the super. In the end, Ryo gains around 0.3 meter from the entire combo.
1000 Max Guage combo. At 2 bars Ryo's Max combos are weaker than his regular combos. However, remember you can get these combos after normally uncancellable moves, such as far B or raw 6A.
1000 Max confirm. The damage only slightly worse than your regular midscreen confirm, but easier to do typically. In the corner, this is far worse however.
1250 and 1500 Max combo. Most characters don't have a 3.5 bar Max confirm, and although this combo is weaker than your standard 3.5 combo, it makes 6A or far B much more threatening.
1250 and 1500 Max combo. Optimal damage midscreen. The Climax cancel from 2363214AC can whiff at some screen positions, particularly a little forward from round start position. You can use 641236AC instead for consistency.
