Hmmmmm, ill have to experiment with a couple other characters, Im sure there are other people.
What are some good anti-air options with Chris? I tend to punished with the flamethrower.
land mine! nothing works as well as the landmine. Also just straight up launcher is cool.
And then there’s just having a plain good AA assist like Hulk’s
You mean full zoomed out screen? I believe two Magnums is all you get. Unless you have a good team hyper combo, or lvl3 ready. Maybe you can get one more shot on Sentinel, but I dont think this will work with regular sized charcters.
Quick question I know it may sound dumb but what does it mean when people say 3C 2B ?
If your looking for AA assists, there are quite a few, zero, dante, morrigan, ryu off the top of my head. If how ever your looking for a GTFO assist, I think there is only tron and haggar.
@harmanb33: The notations correspond to the directions on a joystick, with 1, 2, 3 being downback, down, down forward. While C and B are hard and medium respectively.
ABC means light, medium, and heavy attack respectively, and the numbers represent directions based off a number pad (3=down-forward, 5=neutral, etc). It’s terminology coined from Guilty Gear that people use a lot in air-dash fighters.

Made a combo video revolving around the assist set-ups for my team. Some of it is over the top, but it’s actually practical easy stuff if you simplify it.
For assist . Just pick Haggar. Thank me later. It’s pretty much the most godlike assist in the game. Just pick your favorite character for other slot. I pick dorm now. Dorm is by far my best character since I always have 5 bars when chris is done doing his work. Easy to just hit confirm dark hole into chaotic flame.
Also flamethrower can be godlike in certain situations . I still havent got the timing down for haggar assist into flamethrower then sweep combo. Also when you kill someone and a new character comes in just give them a nice magnum chip shot to the face. I actually won a match since the dudes health was low enough that I could just finish him off with an x factor chip magnum.
Haggar’s assist is amazing, but against good players you can’t just mash it out under pressure. Most average-height characters can just cr.A you all day under Lariat assist, and even worse try to punish and kill him during recovery frames. Also, Haggar isn’t a great team anchor, IMO. If the opponent has the life lead, he just gets zoned out by pretty much anyone with plasma.
He’s still a good 2nd character though, with an assist under his wing and all.
And when I get a kill with Chris and a new character comes in, I like to either: A) fill the ground with H, M, and L grenades; B) if in the corner, set an H and L grenade. If they step on L nade, H nade goes off and I start doing my Counter Strike impression: “Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!..” and chip them until they figure out that they can push-block to get out. :clown:
I’m liking Redfield ATM with Sent Drones and Doom Missles, keep away all day lol
Someone should start up a chris redfield matchup thread. I feel that his match-ups vary incredibly on who he is facing.
alright
on full screen assist with magnum hit, you can definitely kill their assist, but it’s really risky+requires a good assist to lock the enemy down (ie chun li, doom missiles, etc)
magnum>TK super jump air magnum forward>air magnum xN
jak d ripr and Mordio thank you very much guys.
I played chris at WB too Chris/Sent/Wesker finished 33 still think chris is underated. I’m really only having trouble with tridash characters
How do you handle wesker then? I was completely free against wesker at this tourney I played in last week and any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. On the flip side I think the reason you have issues with tri-dashers is cause you’ve got 3 characters who control horizontal space really well, but no get off me assist, I think chris needs one, whether is a dragon punch assist or an actually invincible assist I think chris needs one. Im probably gonna switch haggar on my team for tron bonne, her assist seems to do a number of things for chris, from covering him from other projectiles so he can magnum/sub machine gun through em, to acting as a pseudo AA/GTFO assist.
Really interesting team setup. I really like the spencer assist to restand them so you can land grenades. Also corner combo was cool so you could hit them into the upward grenade. Why don’t you do full air chain to jump magnum for the OTG?
I was using haggar at first but when i’m left with just him i get raped pretty bad against any character that has a decent zone game and if he has sentinel drones with another character i’m def done so i dropped him for sentinel(I know its a cop out lol). Against wesker you have to be really carful and with my team i try to keep drones on the screen so he can’t just teleport behind me and keep a land mine down so he can’t just jump for free. It’s still hard but still winnable. I feel that Magneto is his worst match because before the round even starts he just walks torward you and you are alrdy in a mixup that could hurt you really bad. Against him i put wesker on point.
Wesker is a horrific matchup for chris. Good luck using any projectiles against him when he can spam pistol . Also I use haggar assist solely for tri jumpers and super jumpers. I have good timing so he doesn’t get punished. Spammy haggar assist is an easy way to lose though.
I also think magz is chris worst matchup . He can spam disruptah or tri jump your ass into oblivion
