Jumping
Jumping A has a short horizontal range and whiffs on all crouching characters except for Goro, Maxima and Chang
Neutral jumping B has a good horizontal range which is good for anti-airing jump and super jump attacks

Jumping C is cancel-able in the air.
Jumping C may whiff on some smaller characters while they are crouching.

Advice: This throw gives Chris multiple okizeme options and mix-ups. He can either:
- Step back slightly (or stay in the same spot depending on the character), then superjump and cross them up with j.D
- Empty hyper hop into a crouching B
- Step forward slightly then regular jump D to cross-up
- Dash forward a bit then roll for an ambiguous roll set-up
- Any empty jumps into a throw if the opponent rolls
