- The wall cling generally is used for corner Okizeme as well as runaway tactics.
- many special moves that leave chipp airborne can be cancelled into the wall cling, such as genrouzan (63214S), air alpha blade (j.236P) or 22S teleport.
- Chipp retains all movement options he had before a wall cling, meaning that you can still airdash, double- or triple jump if you let go of the wall or use one of the wall-dashes (9 or 6/3)
- The Kunais (K) are a very good keepaway tool while wall clinging, and will force your opponent to either wait or jump at you, which will both give you time to let go off the wall and act in whatever way is necessary.
- letting go off the wall (4) enables you to corner-crossup your opponent with j.H
- a mixup to this is to 3/6dash off the wall and immediately 2D > 236S your opponent for a very quick low hit
- Chipp cannot use normals or specials during the 9-dash (the far jump off the wall, horizontal angle), but he can cancel it into double / triple jump or airdash.
- to not get an accidental 6-dash when you want a 9-dash, input the 9-dash as "89".
We have gathered here today, not to mourn the death of Wall Alpha, but to celebrate its life. There has never been a better couple between a wall and a blade. The Wall Alpha we know may be gone, but it will forever live in our hearts.
I first met Wall Alpha when I picked up Guilty Gear Xrd Sign from the Steam store in 2016. Our first encounter was awesome. I remember going into the challenges section and looking at how cool alpha into alpha looked. I grinded and struggled at first to do alpha wall cling cancel wall alpha at first, but it filled me with joy to see Wall Alpha be so key in Chipp's corner oki and that it’s used on all of his corner combos. Wall Alpha was always there to get me a knockdown in the corner and add a bunch of damage to my corner bnb’s while retaining corner. Every Chipp player appreciated Wall Alpha and before every game they would dream of landing one for that corner knockdown.
Wall Alpha’s best friends, HS teleport and Ryuu Yanagi, are here with us as well to pay respects to Wall Alpha. HS teleport would tell me stories of how the two would team up to blend everyone into smoothies in the corner. Ryuu Yanagi would love to do the honors of providing one of the most difficult to block mixups in the game. Wall Alpha is loved by many friends and family, and I feel that we are all equally blessed to be part of his life, as he was part of ours.
I will remember Wall Alpha. You all will remember Wall Alpha. People will still talk about this special move who’s oki carried so many Chipp players to adulthood. Although Wall Alpha is gone now, we will live on with a lesson. Enjoy your specials in their wonderful lifespan before they get nerfed. Never take any special for granted.
Thank you Wall Alpha. My dear friend. My best friend. Thank you and good bye.
