Crouching

• crouch D is a very good sweep, has a very low profile but cannot be cancelled.

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.

Throws

Step Turn - (b/f + C) close

• Grabs and then steps on the opponent which causes them to fly and land across the stage

• Can be broken

• Regular knockdown

Aerial Drop - (b/f + D)

• Chris grabs the opponent then tosses them a half screen distance

• Can be broken

• Hard knockdown

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
