Combos

Combo Trials showcased by SilentScope88

All combos are performed on Ratio 2 full life C-Ryu. Meterless/Lvl.1 combos are done in N-Groove, Lvl.2 combos are done in C-Groove with 2 bars (3 if a 2nd super is used), and Lvl.3 combos are done in P-Groove to obtain raw damage values. Depending on your groove and opponent life value the damage values may differ.

Meterless Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2LK > 2LP, 2HK	Any	1800	18	Medium	In theory your most consistent combo, but due to the 2LP, 2HK link being 1 frame, it is not reliable and is usually not used.
2LK(1~3) xx 214HK	Any	2000	20	Very Easy	Go-to confirm from 2LK on standing opponents. Adjust 2LK count based on disance.
2LK > 2LP, 2MK xx 214HK	Any	2700	27	Easy	Link from 2LP into 2MK. Do not delay the cancel from 2LK into 2LP, or else the 214HK will not connect in time after 2MK.
2LP, 2HP/cl.HP xx 214HK	Any	2900	29	Easy	Link from 2LP into 2HP / cl.HP. Technically can be done from 2LK but it is unreliable and not recommended.
2LP, 2HP/cl.HP xx 41236P	Any	2600	26	Easy	Same link with a Shakunetsu ender for crouchers. It is best to start from down-back so the 41236 motion is easier.
2LP, 2MK xx 236HP	Any	2100	21	Very Easy	Your usual hitconfirm on crouchers, you can also use Shakunetsu Hadoken here.
2MP, 2MP xx 214HK	Any	3200	32	Easy	Damaging double 2MP link, optimal in most cases where 2MP hits point blank. You can substitute 2MP for 2MK at farther ranges.
j.HK, 623HP	Any	3100	31	Easy	Your go-to shorthop combo. Nice reward for a tricky overhead landing.
j.HK, cl.HP xx 41236HP	Any	3500	35	Easy	If done in the corner, the Shakunetsu Hadoken will knock the opponent down while keeping Ryu at mid-range, meaning you can react to attempts to get out of the corner like rolls or jumping.
j.MK (x-up), cl.HP xx 623HP	Any	3900	39	Easy	Max damage cross-up combo.

For super combos, the first damage value is when a Lvl.1 super is used. The second is when a Lvl.3 is used. Level specific combos will be denoted in the combo notation.

Super Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2LK(1~3) xx 236236P	Any	2600/5100	6	Intermediate	Coloquially known as "short short super." Extremely vital combo to learn for your super confirms.
2LK > 2LP, 2MK xx 236236P	Any	3300/5800	13	Intermediate	More time to confirm compared to the above combo, but includes a link, slightly increasing the difficulty.
2LP, 2HP/cl.HP > 236236P	Any	3500/6000	15	Easy	Pretty simple combo, 2HP makes the combo easier since you are starting from down, but cl.HP works as well. It is recommended to hold HP during the 2HP/cl.HP so you don't accidentally get negative edge HP Hadoken.
2MP, 2MP xx 236236P	Any	3800/6300	18	Intermediate	The double medium link again. Can sub in 2MK here.
j.HK, cl.HP > 236236P	Any	4400/6900	24	Easy	Best available Shinkuu Hadoken combo. Consistent and damaging.
j.MK (x-up), cl.MK > 236236K	Any	8100	17	Intermediate	An extremely damaging Shin Shoryuken combo.

Lvl.2 C-Groove Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2LK(1~3) xx 236236MP xx 214HK	Any	4837	20	Intermediate	Optimal Lvl.2 cancel, you can do another 236236P if you want but it is recommended to conserve a bar of meter to prepare another lvl.2 super in C.
2LK(1~3) xx 236236MP xx 236236P	Any	5660	6	Intermediate	Spends an extra bar from the above route. Not recommended to use unless it is for kill.
2LK > 2LP, 2MK > 236236MP > 214HK	Any	5551	27	Intermediate	Link from 2LP into 2MK, canceled into a level 2 super which is canceled into an HK Tatsu. Like the meterless variant of this starter, be quick with the 2LK > 2LP chain.
2LK > 2LP, 2MK > 236236MP > 236236LP	Corner	6615	13	Intermediate	Damage increase from the above combo but for more meter.
2LK(1~3) xx 236236MP xx 214LK, 214214K	Corner	6520	18	Intermediate	A situational combo with a tight juggle. Not used due to it not doing enough damage.
2LP, 2HP/cl.HP xx 236236MP xx 214LK, 214214K	Corner	7016	27	Intermediate	Same as above route but with a different starter.

-Note that all damage values were recorded on a Ratio 2 vs Ratio 2 matchup in C-Groove, and with no damage reduction from lower health. Damage may vary slightly depending on Groove selection and health left.
-Most of these combos will work with a jumping normal (preferably j.HK) before the first hit. A crossup j.MK will work too.

-Unless otherwise specified, the following combos are done with level 1 supers due to differences in Grooves. Cost will be measured in "bars" if done in C-Groove or any groove, this can refer to stocks as well. Even though it says "1 Stock in Max Mode", keep in mind it costs 1 stock to enter Max Mode in the first place (N-Groove only).
