Boulder Punching 101 - Chris Redfield Thread The Director's cut

For the best, I think.
Can just do Stun Rod > Boulder punches instead (Doesn’t that lead to a wallbounce?)

is that so? well can you do this then, dash c.a c.b c.c stun rod magnum(if they go too far call ryus hadouken assist before the magnum shot so it can hit them when their comin back from the wall bounce) dash s.b s.c stun rod e super jump b b c e land call wesker assist(samurai edge) s.b s.c(decide whether to use stun rod or shotgun right here. no magnum! magnum will push them to far. if hits from here do moderate damage use stun rod so your hyper wont be so damage scaled because shotty does 10 hits. if they do minimal damage use shotgun because if your damage is scaled you might as well get as much hits as you can for the most amount of hits. if either dont combo with your hyper jus go for the hyper after s.c) all or nothin hyper. that should work and do mean damage! >:)

So obviously Chris is lacking in AA, so there’s a good second (I was personally thinking Morrigan), but who would be a good third?

Anyone with good keepaway that has an projectile assist, preferably one that fires in a direction that’s hard to reach for Chris

Deapool AA guns?

I was thinking that same thing, although my plan has been to use dante with jam session since chris’s machine gun assist helps dante out aswell so its a two way relationship. But the lack of invincibility on jam session makes me consider going with something like she-hulks flash kick or something else for AA duties.

I think Chris should be paired with a character that makes excellent use of meter to make best use of him being a natural battery, or with a pair of characters that can smoothly DHC between each other, one of which obviously has a good AA antiair.

A problem I can foresee is that Chris and Morrigan don’t seem like DHC friendliest characters (please correct me if I’m wrong here guys), so choosing a dedicated ‘‘meter dump’’ character might be a good idea. Also would highly recommend the meter user NOT to be the anti-air assist, because you don’t want the centre of your team to be wiped out by a flukey hail storm or something.

And that right there was the fatal flaw of my team, dante was both my meter dump and my AA. Guess its back to the drawing board with that one. But I think chris and morrigan might actually DHC well between each other, keep in mind this is 100 percent theory but if the ice shot from chris’s grenade launcher holds them in place long enough morrigan might be able to set up her rocket wing thingy move and actually connect it this time.

Alright so at this point big unknowns for chris are hypers, and assists. As far as an AAA goes im thinking about bioCom. Everyones saying they’re pathetic assists but, I think with the keepaway on chris that the two have relativley good chemistry. A big one being the bionic arm and grenade hyper. I haven’t seen too much chris video so I don’t know when you can DHC out of the grenades, but I’ve seen lots of people block the first grenade and hit him after the second. Now think about launching the second and DHCing into bionic arm which, as I’ve read has a good bit of start up invincibility. Im not crazy right? This sounds possible? Not to mention the freeze grenade into bioArm would be pretty awesome too.

I think Morrigan’s rockets will suffice for a DHC…it’s not perfect, but it’ll do. Hmm…a character that can be a meter dump…

Storm(for obvious reasons), viewtiful joe(cause of his slow), dante(all his hypers seem very nice), arthur(for his armor), phoenix(healing field and dark phoenix), thats all i can think of with all the information i have at the moment.

Arthur…he seems good…plus he keeps the armor as an assist and his assists are good. Yeah, I think that may be a really good one.

Just asking, but seeing as i havent played Chris personally but want him on point, can he be offensive with his magic series, or does he use his attacks to just punish, why is Chris considered a battery character, and can anything follow up a shotgun blast besides assist?

He can be offensive, preferably when people figure out how to do the full Boulder Punch combo.

He’s considered a Battery because he doesn’t use his meter often as his Hypers are very mediocre.

And…no clue yet.

thanks

i thought you were leavin srk? so you decided to stay huh? thats good as i like readin your comments and your avatar is funny.

Anyone else think that if Hsien-Ko has her reflecting special as an assist, she’d be good with Chris?

^yes

possibly but modoks shield stays longer on the field so that might work better. i also think hsien kos shields dont reflect chris bullets. not from what ive seen anyway. i seen him shoot her with his machine gun but it doesnt reflect and cant shoot through it.

Maybe it reflects only beams? I’m not sure…
