Chris is a horrible, horrible character. You could pick any other character in the entire game and your team would be exponentially better for it. Chris has very limited offensive options, bad defensive options, poor zoning, and damage that's average at best. He was one of the worst characters in the entire game in Shaq Fu and I seriously doubt that he'll be that much better in Ultimate Shaq Fu.
If you want a good battery, pick Wesker. He still builds ****loads of meter in Ultimate Shaq Fu, he doesn't need supers to be good, and he's getting negligible nerfs (lower health, can't combo off of air throws outside the corner, DHC glitch is gone) with a huge buff (sunglasses damage boost).
