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.

Notes
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.C/2C > 6B
108
Standard heavy 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 > 2B
51
Low light confirm if you're too slow on 6A.
cl.B, cl.A, cl.C/2C > 6B
149
Up to 2 lights link into heavy.
cl.D > 6B
118
More damaging combo starter.
f.C

Overhead Quick Max starter. Not an overhead when canceled into.
3D

Low profile slide Quick Max starter. Good range and goes under a lot of things, including many projectiles.
cl.D > 3D

Optimal Quick Max starter.

Midscreen
Despite Chris having the fastest run speed in the game, he has trouble converting from a CD midscreen due to the long recovery on his CD. Thankfully he can cancel into 214A, which is safe and pushes him further on hit, allowing for a conversion. If you're near the corner, omit the 214A.

623D is possible but the height on the j.236K needs to be very specific. j.236D is the easiest to combo from.
