Throws

1. Chi no Batsu - b/f+C

• Chris steps on his opponent a few times and knocks them back in the direction he was facing

2. Ten no Tsumi - b/f+D

• Chris grabs his opponent and throws them into the air behind him
• hard knockdown
• the opponent's back is turned when they get up
• a great grab because of back turned property and hard knockdown, giving Chris many options afterwards

Command Normals

1. Muyou no Ono - f+A

• Chris executes a horizontal swing, making him go forward
• does very little damage but comes out fast enough to punish some fast recovering moves from a distance
• cancellable

2. Jukei no Oni - f+B

• Chris performs a two hit kick, which has good range
• overhead on the second hit
• cancellable on the second hit if cancelled into

3. Setsudan no Koto - df+B

• Chris performs a sliding kick that can hit from about half screen length
• safe on block from many distances though it's best if it is spaced

Special Moves

1. Taiyou wo Iru Honoo - qcf+P

• Chris sends forth three balls of flame that travel forward
• qcf+A comes out faster than qcf+C and recovers faster allowing the possibility of comboing after them
• qcf+C projectiles move faster than qcf+A and travel further (almost full screen length)

2. Kagami wo Hofuru Honoo - qcb+P

• Orochi Chris jumps forward with a flame in front of him
• the flame can negate projectiles but it comes out too slow and recovers too slow for this to be practical
• does not combo against crouching characters
• free cancellable into

3. Tsuki wo Tsumu Honoo - dp+P

• Chris performs a rising uppercut attack that comes out fairly quick
• this move does not have much vertical range compared to other dragon punch moves. dp+A does one hit in which Chris moves forward before rising, while dp+C does 4 hits, where he rises during the 4th
• free cancellable into
• free cancellable out of on the first three hits
• supercancellable on the third hit

4. Shishi wo Kamu Honoo - hcf+K

• a proximity unblockable attack which only comes out if Chris is near the opponent
• the first hit causes guard crush
• last hit is cancellable into special moves and supercancellable, though the only cancellable move that will combo after it is dp+A
• free cancellable out of on all hits

DMs

1. Ankoku Orochi Nagi - qcb hcf+P (can be held)

• Chris creates a flame, then throws it forward, covering a fairly wide area in front of him
• the A version comes out faster than the C version
• can be delayed by holding the P button used, but is not useful
• works very similar to Kyo's qcb hcf+P except Chris has no invinciblity on his

SDMs

1. Ankoku Orochi Nagi - qcb hcf+AC (can be held)

• works similar to his normal DM version except the flame is larger, doing 3 hits
• cannot be comboed into normally

HSDMs

1. Sanagi wo Yaburi, Chou wa Mau - D, C, d, C, D
