The King of Fighters XV/Chris/Combos

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.

Starters

Combo	Damage	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.
cl.D > 6B	118	More damaging combo starter.
cl.A, cl.C/2C > 6B	127	Close A link into heavy.
2B > 2A > 2B	51	Low light confirm.
5C	70	Far C can cancel, leading to combos.

Other Starters

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

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

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo	Damage	Meter cost	notes
cl.A > A > A > B	129	0	Rush combo ending in a special move
cl.A > A > A > C	212	1	Rush combo ending in a super
cl.A > A > A > D	348	2	Rush combo ending in a Max super
cl.A > A > A > A	439	3	Rush combo ending in a Climax super

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Starter > 623D	150/198	125/150	26%/30%	Anywhere
Starter > 214C	146/194	165/190	22%/26%	Anywhere	Better frame advantage post knockdown, but leaves you farther away.
Starter > 623A	150/198	85/110	22%/26%	Anywhere	Sideswap knockdown, but be aware this can drop off a max range light starter.
CD > (214A), run, 6A > 214C	168	180	30.5%(35.5%)	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.
j.236K, cl.D	136	110	17%	Corner	623D is possible but the height on the j.236K needs to be very specific. j.236D is the easiest to combo from.

Starter > 623AC	201/252	85/110	7%/11%	Anywhere	Sideswitch with hard knockdown, does not drop at max range.
Starter > 623BD	181/232	85/110	7%/11%	Anywhere	A little less damage but gives HKD and safejump without switching sides.
Starter > 236CD, run, cl.D > 6B > 623D	237/295	235/260	38%/42%	Anywhere	Requires 1 bar, but builds back half a bar due to being a Shatter Strike extension. Optimal midscreen damage for heavy, near-optimal for light.
Starter > 214BD > j.236B, 623D	269/326	165/190	35%/39%	Corner	Near mid-screen use j.236D instead.
CD > (214A), run, 6A > 623BD	191	140	16.5%	Midscreen
