Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning
X Starter	Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
>	Cancel the previous move into the following move. If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
,	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 > 2B	51	Standard low light confirm. Chris can often combo into higher damage combo from lights using 6A, but the option isn't always available so it's good to know your options. You may have to omit the last 2B at further spacings.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C > 6B	108	Standard heavy and jump-in starter. f.C(1) allows for same combos which can be a saving grace if barely outside of cl.C range. 2C reaches further and doesn't have any additional scaling even though it's two hits, but is a bit slower.
2B > 2A > 6A	65	Low light confirm that allows for 'Heavy Starter' Combos. Fairly consistent, though you must be fast on the 6A input.
cl.D > 6B	118	More damaging combo starter.
cl.A, cl.C > 6B	127	Close A link into heavy.
5C	70	Far C can cancel, leading to combos.
CD > 214A, 2A > 6A	151	In the corner, cancelling CD into 214A causes the last hit of 214A to hit meaty, giving Chris enough advantage to link a light normal after.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75
6B > MAX	45	Overhead starter. Not an overhead when canceled into.
3D > MAX	60	Low profile slide starter. Good range and goes under a lot of things, including many projectiles.
cl.D > 3D > MAX	137	Optimal Quick Max starter.

(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)
