Strategies

-it is possible to tick his dp+A throw from a blocked weak attack (such as crouch A, close B, close A is not recommended since it whiffs against many crouching opponents). Cancelling f+A, or any strong attack into dp+A, makes the throw whiff

-Chris has many options when the opponent is waking up. You can try to time a dp+A throw such that Chris is above them just as they get up. Cancelling a blocked crouch A or any jumpin to dp+A will also work. In the case that the opponent always tries to jump out thinking you will go for the dp+A, mix it up with doing a close/crouch C after a crouch A, or just waiting on wakeup to see if they will immediately jump. His f+B and df+B can hit from a decent range, and can also be added to his mixup game

-always use jump D for starting combos from jump ins, as jump A/C do not hit crouching opponents, and don't crossup. Jump B is a decent long range poke, especially when jumping backwards. Jump CD is one of the highest priority jumpins in the game and is generally safe to spam, mainly during a hop. High priority anti-airs like Ryo's dp+A can still beat it
