Chris is a character from SNK Playmore's King of Fighters series of fighting games.
History
The true origins of the Orochi fighter known as Chris are shrouded in mystery. He, along with Yashiro Nanakase and Shermie, entered the KOF 97' tournament. They formed the "New Face" team and proceeded to crush any and all challengers. Later on in the tournament, it was shown that he and his team members were three of Orochi's "Four Heavenly Kings", the first being Goenitz. Their plan for entering the tournament was to gather enough power to awaken the Orochi power from its 600 year slumber. After gathering enough energy, Shermie and the rest of the New Face Team poured it all into Chris, who uses it to make a startling transformation into the original Orochi. However, the resurection was inturupted by Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. Kyo proceeds to engage the Orochi in battle, but is blown away by his phenomenal power. Iori Yagami, and later Chizuru Kagura reunite with him in the fight, and the tables begin to turn. Realizing his defeat was near, The Orochi used the last of his power to transform Iori into Orochi Iori. Believing his transformation would turn him against his teammates, The Orochi chuckled in triumph... until Iori grabbed him instead. Now, holding the Orochi in place, Iori told Kyo to finish him off. Kyo did so, then Chizuru sealed the Orochi up. The Orochi fighters and Chris, however, were never seen again.
Trivia
- Chris appears as Whip's Another Striker in KOF 2000.
- In KoF 97, Chris' Slide Touch has him attack with his palm. In KoF 98 it was changed to a punch. On the other hand, his Chain Slide Touch remained the same (5-8 palm strikes)
- Chris's design is rumored to be remarkably similar to a character in Rurouni Kenshin, either Soujiro Seta or Souji Okita.
- Chris's getting up animation looks as if he peels himself of the ground. This sparked some debate regarding the supposed weight of his (exceptionally large) shoes. Others claim he can defy gravity to an extent (using the C+D move and one of his throws, where he runs up an opponent as an argument).
- Chris is the only member of the new face team that dosen't have a heart symbol somewhere on him. (Yashiro has one on his necklece and Shermie has heart earrings.)
Orochi Chris
- Orochi Chris is the 'awakened' form of Chris and is playable in all the KoF Chris has appeared in. In KoFs 97 & 98 he would stand with his hands at his waist, & flames appear on both his hands. In KoF 2002, Orochi Chris' stance was changed.
- In KoF 2002 & NeoWave, Chris' HSDM has him transform into Orochi Chris.
- Orochi Chris' real title is 'Chris of the Flames of Destiny' (Which is also the name of Chris' HSDM in KoF 2002 & NeoWave), but is referred as Orochi Chris for short. In King of Fighters 1997, this makes him a counterpart for Kyo Kusanagi.
- Orochi Chris' HSDM in KoF 2002 & NeoWave has him transform into Orochi & perform an attack & then revert back to Orochi Chris.
