, Link the previous move into the following move.
(X) A move in brackets must whiff (not hit).
Can also mean the move must be Kara Canceled.
~ Cancel the previous special into the following special.
cl. Close to opponent.
f. Far from opponent.
j. Jumping move.
AA Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X] Hold input briefly.
P & K P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
X/Y Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
X * N
{X} * N
Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times.
Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

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.

Light Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2B > 2A 38 Standard low light confirm. Can add an extra 2A but the pushback will prevent some followups.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2C 70 Standard heavy starter. 2C is fast, has good range, and forces stand, which is necessary for certain cancels. Works after a jump-in.
cl.D 80 Most damaging starter, but a bit slower than cl.C/2C and doesn't force stand. Works after a jump-in.
cl.C 70 As fast and damaging as 2C, but less useful as it does not force stand. It can make execution easier, however. Works after a jump-in.
f.C 70 Cancelable far normal.
cl.A/cl.B/2A, 2C 91/96 Light link into 2C. Note that cancels into 646C/AC will not combo. Can work after a jump-in but is finicky.

Other Starters

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:

2B > 2A > 214BD > 5D > 646AC > 623C
2B > 2A > 214BD > 6D > 46AC > 623C

  • 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.

Light Starter > 214B 116 145 0 0.18 Anywhere Most consistent light confirm. You can typically chain 3 light normals when using this ender.
Light Starter > 214D, 623C 257 275 0 0.455 Corner Corner combo. Replace 623C with 623A > cl.C/2C for a corner reset.
Heavy Starter > 646C, 623C 276 180 0 0.483 Anywhere High damage combo from a point-blank heavy starter. Requires stand. Note that 646C combos typically don't work after a jump in.
Heavy Starter > 214D, 214B 244 250 0 0.37 Anywhere Same as your strongest light confirm. Works at more spacings.
Heavy Starter > 6A > 214D 218 210 0 0.285 Anywhere Hit confirmable heavy combo. Doesn't work on crouchers.
Heavy Starter > 6A > 214D, 623C 318 320 0 0.50 Corner Heavy corner combo. Doesn't work on crouchers. You can omit the 6A for crouching opponents.

Light Starter/(Heavy Starter > 6A) > 214BD, 646A 240/324 45/130 0.5 0.258/0.343 Anywhere Standard half bar combo. Grants an autotimed safejump.
Light Starter/(Heavy Starter > 6A) > 214BD, 623A, 623C 262/346 205/290 0.5 0.39/0.475 Anywhere Higher damage ender that nearly refunds itself but has no oki outside of the corner (where better combos are possible).
Heavy Starter > 646C, 214BD, 623A, 623C 372 260 0.5 0.653 Anywhere 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.
Light Starter/(Heavy Starter > 6A) > 214D, 623A, cl.C > 646AC, 623C 376/447 425/470 0.5 0.695/0.74 Corner 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.
CD > 3D, run, cl.C > 646AC, 623A, 623C 292 330 0.5 0.495 Midscreen 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.
CD > 3D, 214D, 623A, cl.C > 646AC, 623C 390 480 0.5 0.73 Corner Going forward, corner CD combos will not be listed as they are the same as your corner 214D combo.
236A, 5C > 646AC, 623A, 623C 350 340 0.5 0.53 Corner Extra damage from a 236A. Both 5C and cl.C work here.

Heavy Starter > 236A, 214BD, 623A, 2C > 646AC, 623C 442 410 1 0.60 Corner Alternate corner heavy combo. You can use this combo after stray 236A hits as well.
CD > 3D, 2363214A/C 241 100 1 0.10 Anywhere Consistent CD confirm.
CD > 3D, run, 214BD, cl.D > 646AC, 623C 322 280 1 0.35 Midscreen
236CD, 214D, 214B 258 180 1 0.80 Anywhere Shatter Strike combo. Works at even max range. Somewhat consistent when the SS hits airborne, but you won't always get the 214B ender.
236CD (AA), 623C 200 110 1 0.70 Anywhere More consistent anti air SS combo. You may need to run before the 623C.
236CD, 214D, 623A, 2C 327 270 1 0.90 Corner Corner Shatter Strike combo. This will always match your corner 214D combo.
Light Starter/(Heavy Starter > 6A) > 214BD, 646A > 2363214P 351/430 60/130 1.5 0.25/0.35 Anywhere Only a slight gain over your 1 bar confirm.
Light Starter/(Heavy Starter > 6A) > 214D, 623A, 2C > 646AC, 623C > 2363214A/C 465/531 410/440 1.5 0.65/0.70 Corner If 214D won't connect, you can use the midscreen confirm.
CD > 3D, run, cl.C > 646AC, 623C > 2363214A/C 364 250 1 0.35 Midscreen
236CD, cl.C > 646AC, 623C 346 180 1.5 0.77 Anywhere If you're point blank when the SS hits, you can use cl.D instead for slightly more damage. These conversions essentially match your midscreen CD conversion.
j.X cl.D > 646C, 214BD, 623A, 623C > 2363214A/C 558/583 260/300 1 0.3 Anywhere 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.

(QM) Light Starter > BC, cl.D > 6A > 214BD, 646A > 2363214A/C 398 190 2 0.10 Anywhere 1250 and 1500 Max Guage combo.

(QM) Light Starter > BC, cl.D > 214BD, 646A > 2141236CD 526 130 3 0.10 Anywhere 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.
(QM) Light Starter > BC, cl.D > 6A > 236C > 2363214A/C > 2141236CD 594 270 3 0.10 Anywhere 1250 and 1500 Max confirm. Significantly stronger than a regular confirm.
