Among the returning characters from Team Orochi, Chris also makes a comeback as a playable character in King of Fighters 15. While his looks also far from a fighting type, he's actually a speedster that can rapidly outpace his foes in battle. It's yet to be revealed what his role will be in this title.
Who Is Chris in King of Fighters?
In King of Fighters 98, Chris looked like a kind, gentle character who has no business in a martial arts tournament, let alone being part of Team Orochi. However, Chris has an underlying violent and sinister nature and often passive-aggressively taunts his foes in battle.
Aside from his two-faced personality, Chris and all of Team Orochi worked on reviving an ancient force of nature, Orochi, bent on destroying humanity through the King of Fighters tournament. The team was successful, but it came at a great cost, the life of his two teammates, with Orochi choosing to use the body of Chris as his host.
However, Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and Chizuru Kagura successfully defeated Orochi and the whole of Team Orochi was just considered dead after this storyline. After the events of King of Fighters 14, the defeat of the last boss resurrected some characters and this also included Team Orochi, and Chris.

Chris Death Combos in King of Fighters 15
So far, players have yet to make a true 100% health combo with Chris in the King of Fighters 15 Open Beta. However, some players have found some hard-hitting, heavy resource combos that also deplete large amounts of health. These combos can also mean a clean kill if a little damage is applied on your foes before doing it.

Due to the speed of his attacks, Chris players may often drop his combos. Dropping high-resource combos can put players in a bad spot with limited ability to clutch out the win, so make sure to practice these well.
