Notes
2C > 6A
122
Standard heavy starter. 2C is fast, has good range, and forces stand. Works after a jump-in.
cl.D > 6A
132
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 and reducing the need to force stand.
cl.C > 6A
122
Standard heavy starter - same speed and damage as 2C, but doesn't force stand.
f.C
70
Cancelable far normal.
cl.A/cl.B/2A, 2C > 6A
140/145
Light link into 2C/cl.C. Note that cancels into 646C/AC will not combo. Can work after a jump-in but is finicky without a crossup.

Combos
General Notes:
For corner 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.

Standard midscreen BnB into super, does more damage than 623A > 623C when the super is added.
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.
