'''''{{clr|4|The info below has NOT been tested for Season 2 unless specified}}'''''
 
Note about game versions: Patch 1.18 is the start of Season 2 and uses battle version 2.00. This patch contains many system and Chipp specific changes but many of Chipp's older combos/setups still work. All info that has been tested will display a note above itself. Info will not be tested for patches after 1.18 unless there is a system or character specific change made.
 


==General Gameplan==
==General Gameplan==
Chipp is the fastest character in the game blessed with both insane dash speed and fast buttons. This comes at a cost of his effective health, which is the lowest in the game. His primary gameplan is to utilize his speed to pressure his opponent and overwhelm them before they have a chance to catch him. Despite his advantages, Chipp will very quickly lose a game if his opponent manages to lock him down and get one or two good hits in.


Your primary focus is to play around your opponent safely in neutral until you can manage a knockdown. Chipp has decent pokes such as {{clr|S|f.S}}, and {{clr|D|2D}} which he can use to attack his opponent from relatively safe ranges. He can also use his fast dash speed to creep up close and start pressure if your opponent is hesitating to approach or counterpoke.
With his speed and frame data, Chipp manages a solid pressure game. {{clr|K|5K}} works as an excellent lockdown and stagger tool, that opens up both high and low options for him to cancel into. With how fast his dash is, he can tick throw from further ranges than most characters can with a quick micro dash throw. Combined with his specials that are each designed to open an opponent, Chipp is a major threat once he manages to get in his opponent’s face. {{clr|K|6K}} functions the same as it has in other GG titles as a fast and harassing overhead option. It’s cancellable from most normal attacks and converts nicely with RC.  {{clr|H|6H}} is a high reward frame trap option that also chains from most normal attacks. Use this when you suspect your opponent is attempting to mash or jump out.
==Offense==


Once your opponent is convinced they can’t mash or DP, you can use his cross up specials ([[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff#Alpha Blade Horizontal|Alpha Blade Horizontal]] and [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff#Alpha Blade Diagonal|Alpha Blade Diagonal]]) and command grab ([[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff#Genrou Zan|Genrou Zan]]) to break open an opponent’s defense. When you earn your knockdown, you can then transition into his frightening okizeme game which includes a wide arrange of safejumps, cross ups, and high/low mixups.
===Normals===


===Beginner Guide===
This section discusses unique properties or situational applications of Chipp's normals and command normals.


Chipp's general gameplan will be to use his fast and long reaching buttons to catch opponents in neutral, whiff punish their unsafe moves with his superior movement, and score a knockdown to begin his offense. Chipp should condition his opponent with [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Rekka_Pressure|Rekka Pressure]], [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Frame_Traps|Frame Traps]], and throws. After getting a hit he can knock them down you can set up mix. Chipp will often want to prioritize mix/okizeme over damage when routing combos. Remember that Chipp has very low HP so gambling in neutral can lead to a loss very quickly. '''DON'T GET HIT!'''
;{{clr|1|5P}} Combo Table


====Neutral Buttons====
Chipp's {{clr|1|5P}} will normally whiff on crouching opponents. The following table shows when Chipp can true string on crouch block, a fuzzy block high to low, and on crouching hit.
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=f.S|label={{clr|S|f.S}}}} - far reaching, fast button. Dash + {{clr|S|f.S}} can be a good tool for poking opponents. It is, however, easily counterpoked and low profiled (by {{clr|P|6P}} for example).
{| class='wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed' style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 0px 0px;"
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}} - a low, decently fast poke that has decent range. This can be good to catch opponents not blocking low, or if they like to use low profile buttons.
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px;" colspan=5 | '''{{clr|1|5P}} Combo Table'''
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=5K|label={{clr|K|5K}}}} - although the range is short, the short startup along with Chipp's extremely fast dash make it a threat in neutral. Has good gatling options - in particular, it leads to a hard knockdown comboing into {{clr|K|2K}} / {{clr|D|2D}}.

====Basic Okizeme (Knockdown Options)====
===Overdrives===
After scoring a knockdown, Chipp's options are mostly meaties. It is important to practice meaty timing, as this is the core to Chipp's offense. Here are some good meaty options:
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=c.S|label={{clr|S|c.S}}}} - good combo starter and has many good gatling options: {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}}, {{clr|D|2D}} (low), {{clr|K|6K}} (high).
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=5K|label={{clr|K|5K}}}} - can cancel into itself multiple times, and can gatling into {{clr|D|2D}} (low) and {{clr|K|6K}} (high).
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label={{clr|K|236K}}}} - mostly reversal safe and crosses up. Scores a soft knockdown on hit, and can allow Chipp to continue your offense. Relatively safe on block.
* {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=63214S|label={{clr|S|63214S}}}} - keeps an opponent guessing on wake up which opens a chance for Chipp's other options to hit. Can beat reversals/backdashes.


For more information on Chipp's Okizeme options are listed in the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Okizeme|Okizeme section]].


====Basic Combos====
<big> Banki Messai </big>
Some basic, essential combos are listed in the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Combos#Basic_combos|basic combo section]]. All of these combos listed are definitely worth learning.


====Next Steps====
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236236P|label=Banki Messai}} has some unusual properties that give it utility outside of combos. The {{tt|superflash|The screen-freeze when the overdrive is activated}} for Banki Messai continues during Chipp's forward movement, which freezes his opponent and any spawned entities in place. This allows Chipp to move past any spawned entities between him and his opponent. It is important to remember that Chipp becomes invulnerable on frame 3, and is vulnerable again once the superflash ends. All these conditions combined with Banki Messai's low damage make this an '''EXTREMELY''' situational punish tool.


* In-depth guide on specials usage
These properties are most useful in reaction to projectile overdrives such as {{Character Label|GGST|Leo Whitefang|label=Leo's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Leo Whitefang|input=632146S|label=Stahlwirbel}} and {{Character Label|GGST|Zato-1|label=Zato's}}
** [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Gamma_Blade_Usage|Gamma Blade Usage]]
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Zato-1|input=632146S|label=Sun Void}}. They can also be use to punish overdrives that do not become active immediately after the superflash, such as {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Potemkin|input=632146H|label=Giganter Kai}} and {{Character Label|GGST|Testament|label=Testament's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Testament|input=236236P|imageNumber=2|label=Nostrovia}}.

==Offense==
===Frame Traps===
While Chipp may have many mix-up options, most of these rely on the opponent respecting his pressure. Effective use of frame traps will keep the enemy afraid and blocking which enables Chipp's mix-up game.


===Kara Cancel Usage===
Note: Reversals like {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Sol Badguy|input=623S|label=Volcanic Viper}} or parry moves like {{Character Label|GGST|Baiken|label=Baiken's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Baiken|input=236P|label=Hiiragi}} can be activated during a frame trap. Chipp must carefully consider his opponents options when leaving a gap in his offense.


As of patch 1.18 Chipp is able to make use of {{keyword|kara cancel}}s in his offense. The most significant of these being the ability to kara cancel his rekka series into his overdrive {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236236P|label=Banki Messai ({{clr|P|236236P}})}} for more reliable combo enders.

This can be particularly useful for situations where Chipp cannot reach the wall to cause a wall splat or when the wall has too much health. Chipp can also use this to help him hit confirm pokes into an overdrive.

In some situations there may be too long of a delay between each input which can cause the kara to fail. This can be avoided by using the full input for Banki Messai at the end of a rekka sequence.
Chipp has two natural frame traps which leave a 1f gap:


:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|K|236236K}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>
:<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>


:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236236S}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>
:<code>{{clr|K|5K/2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}}</code>


These options will catch any attempt to mash, throw, or jump out of block stun.




Kara cancels can also be used to gain extra meter before a wall break.
{{clr|3|c.S}} being plus on block allows chipp to create a tight 4f gap. This link leaves a 4f gap with significant push-back causing ground throws and 3f normals to whiff. The spacing also causes most 4f normals to clash:


:<code> ...{{clr|1|2362236P}} </code>
:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}}, {{clr|2|2K}} </code>


By pressing down (2) an extra time during the Banki Messai input, Chipp will kara cancel {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade Horizontal ({{clr|1|236P}})}} into the overdrive granting extra meter. This is particularly useful when Chipp is just below 50 meter.
When {{clr|3|c.S}} is meaty Chipp can be left plus enough to true-string into {{clr|2|2K}}.




Chipp can also cancel into Resshou to frame trap 5f moves.


Chipp is also able to kara cancel the startup of a [[GGST/Movement#Dash_Cancel| Dash Cancel]] to change the properties of some of his moves.
:<code>{{clr|2|5K/2K}} > {{clr|3|236S}}</code>


:<code> ({{clr|K|5K}}) > DC~{{clr|K|236K}}... </code>
:<code>{{clr|1|5P/2P}} > {{clr|3|236S}}</code>


Dash cancelling from a blocked button into {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label=Alpha Blade Diagonal ({{clr|K|236K}})}} makes the cross up travel farther allowing for unique pressure and setups on hit or block.
This gap can be useful for discouraging fuzzy mashing.




[https://twitter.com/FGC_Elodad/status/1554636175876448257 ref 1]
{{clr|5|5D}} creates a 4f gap. One unique strength of {{clr|5|5D}} is that its hitbox covers the ground in front of Chipp, letting him stuff any {{clr|1|6P}} abare during his frame trap.


===Dealing with Burst===
:<code>{{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|5|5D}}</code>
[[File:GGST_Blue_Psych_Burst.png|right|thumb|250px|Blue Psych Burst]]
[[File:GGST_Burst_Disabled.png|right|150px|thumb|Locked-out burst]]
[[GGST/Defense#Psych_Burst| Psych Burst]] (AKA Burst) is a powerful defensive mechanic that allows a player to knock back their opponent in neutral or while being hit by a combo. While this is a universal defensive mechanic, Chipp has a particularly hard time dealing with it compared to some other characters. Many of Chipp's offensive strategies and combos utilize his cross up moves {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade Horizontal ({{clr|P|236P}})}} and {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label=Alpha Blade Diagonal ({{clr|K|236K}})}} which are reactable and leave Chipp vulnerable to a burst. Chipp also makes heavy use of these moves in the corner, which can result in Chipp being forced into the corner himself if an opponent bursts during these moves. If burst is available Chipp can avoid being forced into the corner by opting for combo routes that do not use Alpha Blade:


It is important to note that {{clr|5|5D}} has a unique property that prevents it from trading with other attacks. Unfortunately, this means it will always lose to 4f moves despite having a 4f gap.


<code>({{clr|S|c.S}}) > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ 6 > {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}} > WS > {{clr|H|6H}}</code> Corner combo utilizing Alpha Blade Diagonal cross up. Can result in Chipp becoming cornered if burst is used
:<code>RRC > {{clr|2|6K}}</code>


<code>({{clr|S|c.S}}) > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > dl {{clr|S|236S}}, {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|H|6H}} > {{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236S}} > WS > {{clr|H|6H}}</code> Corner combo utilizing Chipp's rekka wall bounce to prevent him from crossing up. Less damage but safer when burst is used
:<code> ~{{clr|2|236K}} > 22RRC ▷ {{clr|2|6K}}</code>


From a blocked RRC, Chipp's {{clr|2|6K}} will be able to frametrap 3f buttons while begin safe to throws. It is also safe to reversals.

If Chipp expects an opponent to burst, it can be difficult for him to combo in a way that will naturally cause the burst to be blocked or whiffed. Chipp will usually need to commit to a burst bait. The following options are viable for baiting burst:

* {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|K|5K}} Jump cancelable on hit or block allowing Chipp to cancel the moves recovery and block an expected burst. If the burst comes out late Chipp may simply recover without needing to commit to a jump cancel. Particularly good on counter-hit.
The gatling into {{clr|4|6H}} can beat 8f moves depending on the button/spacing but will always beat 9f moves:
* {{clr|K|2K}} Fast startup and fast recovery. Linking to and from {{clr|K|2K}} in combos can enable a burst bait.
* {{clr|S|2S}} When comboing an airborne opponent {{clr|S|2S}} can shrink Chipp's hurtbox causing burst to whiff. Best when the opponent is directly over Chipp.
* {{clr|K|j.K}}/{{clr|S|j.S}}/{{clr|H|j.H}}/{{clr|D|j.D}} Chipp's air-buttons can be jump-cancelled using Chipp's triple jump. Enables a potential burst bait.
* {{clr|D|5[D]}} Pops an opponent quite high when used in a combo. Can cause burst to whiff if the burst is mistimed.
* {{clr|H|236H}} Leaves Chipp farther away. The clone becomes completely independent of Chipp late in it's activation.
* {{clr|H|2H}} Pops an opponent high in the air but has a long recovery. Not particularly strong for dealing with burst but can still keep Chipp safe in some situations.
* {{clr|H|w.H}} Launches the opponent very high in the air. Can make wall-run combos very difficult to burst.


:<code>{{clr|K|5K/2K}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>


Chipp can also make use of universal mechanics such as [[GGST/Movement#Roman_Cancels | Roman Cancel]] to cancel the recovery of moves and drift out of burst range.
:<code>{{clr|P|5P/2P}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>


<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|f.S}} > 44RRC > 66 > {{clr|D|5[D]}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code> Example combo with multiple bait points using jump-cancelable moves. Chipp is also kept burst range for much of the combo.
Excellent for catching delayed options or when fishing for counter hits.


<code>{{clr|D|2D}} CH, {{clr|K|2K}}, {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}}...</code> Example CH combo using a {{clr|K|2K}} link that can bait a poorly timed burst.




Chipp also has the ability to lock an opponent out of burst with his overdrives to guarantee a punish or close out a round. Buffering an overdrive during counter hit slowdown is completely burst safe:
{{clr|3|f.S}} link can create spacing traps and bait tech attempts on opponent's who expect a tick-throw.

{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236H|label=Gamma Blade ({{clr|H|236H}})}} is Chipp’s risky pressure reset option. While it has strong advantage at +9 on block, it carries significant risk because his clone can be hit and damaged by attacks if an opponent is prepared. Reversal supers such as Ram's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Ramlethal Valentine|input=236236S|label=Mortobato}} can instantly kill Chipp at near full life if it counter hits Gamma Blade. If the opponent is typically expecting a cancel into resshou, Chipp can instead cancel into gamma blade to play with his opponent’s unwillingness to mash back, and extend his pressure for longer.

Here are some ways Chipp can use Gamma Blade as part of his pressure:
| Recipe    =  
 
| content    =  
:<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code>
 
:<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code>


:<code>{{clr|S|f.S}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code>
Outside of these natural frame traps, Chipp must make use of the large cancel windows on his gatlings and specials to frame trap. These require manual timing so practice is essential to avoid getting hit by moves with fast start up such as a ground throw or {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol's}} {{clr|K|5K}}.


:<code>{{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code>
Any delay cancel can be a frame trap but this list shows some of the most useful ones:


:<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > dl {{clr|S|2S}} > dl {{clr|H|2H}}</code>


It is good to mix up usage of Gamma Blade to make it somewhat unpredictable. This can be done by early cancelling (like omitting the final {{clr|H|2H}} in the second example), or by replacing Gamma Blade with Rekka pressure in blockstrings. For example, if {{clr|H|2H}} is cancelled into Gamma Blade often, then occasionally cancelling into {{clr|S|236S}} will force the opponent to stay alert, and could lead to a counterhit if the opponent is preemptively mashing on Gamma Blade. It is worth nothing that as of patch {{clr|4|1.18}} Gamma Blade is significantly weaker on hit so conditioning an opponent to block the move leads to better situations for Chipp.
:<code>{{clr|K|5K}} > dl {{clr|K|5K}}</code>


When Gamma Blade is blocked up close Chipp can easily true-string into buttons like {{clr|2|5K}} and {{clr|3|f.S}} but may risk being counter hit if he tries to run in for {{clr|3|c.S}} or {{clr|5|throw}}. {{clr|2|5K}} and {{clr|3|f.S}} have the added benefit of high reaching hitboxes that can cover both hit and block situations. Buttons like {{clr|2|2K}} can tend to whiff on hit due to their low hitboxes causing Chipp to lose his advantage.
:<code>{{clr|S|236S}}~ dl {{clr|S|236S}}</code>


Gamma Blade gains new properties when {{clr|1|PRC}}’d at which point, the clone becomes independent of Chipp allowing him to move freely. This allows Chipp to go for extended pressure options at relatively low risk since it is possible to react and bait the startup of pretty much any move. Furthermore, Chipp will no longer take damage if the clone is struck greatly reducing the risk. Gamma Blade can also be used as Okizeme which is discussed in the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Gamma Blade Oki|Gamma Blade Oki]] section.

===Rekka Pressure===
===Rekka Usage===
'''{{clr|4|Updated for Patch 1.18}}'''


The {{keyword|rekka}} sequence ({{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|K|236K}}) is Chipp’s primary poking and pressure tool. Frame data wise, it may be underwhelming that these moves are slightly negative on hit and block. This is to help balance the incredibly large cancel window for each part of the rekka. The initial hit {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S|label=Resshou ({{clr|S|236S}})}} is always a mid poke with good range and is safe on block. Chipp can then use the low {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236S|label=Rokusai (~{{clr|S|236S}})}} or overhead {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236K|label=Senshuu (~{{clr|K|236K}})}} option for a basic high/low mixup. The overhead option is unsafe (-9 on block), and experienced players will be able to block it on reaction. This means this option should be used sparingly, especially without meter to make it safe. The low option is less unsafe, but still punishable (-6 on block). Therefore, it is sometimes better to stop at the initial hit, and find other options to continue pressure.

Many characters across the cast can punish {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236S|label=Rokusai (~{{clr|S|236S}})}} from a normal block so extra caution should be used when pressuring them. The following table shows which characters can punish Chipp:

Chipp is able to kara-cancel Resshou for quick overheads and lows during pressure. Kara-Senshuu is quite slow compared to Chipp's other overhead options, but being able to cancel into it at any point can make it very difficult to react to.




As of patch {{clr|4|1.18}} Senshuu has a fairly tight hit confirm window where Chipp must quickly decide if he wants to {{clr|4|RRC}} to make himself safe on block, {{clr|4|RRC}} to combo on normal-hit, or pick up the combo meterlessly on counter hit. Chipp can exploit the input buffer during counter hit slowdown to perform an OS that covers all three options. By inputting RC right as Senshuu connects Chipp will be locked out of his inputs in the event of a counter hit. This will cause {{clr|4|RRC}} to only come out when there is no counter hit slowdown.

Chipp is able to hit confirm his rekka series on crouching opponents and combo the entire sequence Resshou~Rokusai~Senshuu. This can be done by forcing crouching with {{clr|4|6H}} but it is also a strong option from Chipp's {{clr|3|f.S}} pokes. Against May, Axl, Millia, Leo, and Gio the full sequence will whiff if Resshou hits near max range. When fighting Chipp in a mirror match up, Resshou must hit even closer to avoid whiffs.

===Alpha Blade Usage===
'''{{clr|4|Updated for patch 1.18}}'''


The moves Alpha Blade Horizontal ({{clr|P|236P}}) and Alpha Blade Diagonal ({{clr|K|236K}}) are both high speed movement options and easy cross up options for Chipp to utilize. When used at a wall, they can also immediately transition into a wall run by holding 6, or holding on to the button used to input alpha blade ({{clr|P|P}} or {{clr|K|K}}). They should be used carefully as Chipp is not invincible when he disappears during the movement. He can be thrown or hit by any hitbox while he is phasing through his opponent. They are very safe on block however as long as you end up outside of thrown range at the end of the attack. It can be good to occasionally use it in the middle of your blockstrings for a soft knockdown (e.g. {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|K|236K}}). Further information regarding combos and setups can be found in the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Combos|combo section]] and the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Wall_Run_Resets_.26_Oki|wall run oki section]].

{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label=Alpha Blade Diagonal({{clr|K|236K}})}} will cross up standing opponents (not in the corner) and will put Chipp immediately airborne with his air options still available. This means it is possible for Chipp to airdash in for jump-in starters such as {{clr|H|j.H}} or {{clr|K|j.2K}}. Although Chipp has many options from this position, some characters have anti-air options that can cover escapes or additional pressure. The corner version can also work as a DP bait because of how quickly he moves out of DP range. Outside of combos and blockstrings, it is also a fantastic meaty option as it crosses up, is mostly reversal-safe, and puts Chipp in a position to continue his offense.

{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade Horizontal({{clr|P|236P}})}} will only cross up grounded opponents. It is the easiest option to use from a grounded normal but also very easy to escape by simply jumping or hitting Chipp during the animation. On hit, the opponent will be put into a soft knockdown state, and it is possible to get a combo off of this with PRC. In the corner, there are certain, niche situations where it is possible to get a full wallrun combo using this move. For example, if you anticipate the opponent to jump during a blockstring, it is possible to use {{clr|P|236[P]}} and start a full wallrun combo from there. Other than that, it can also be used meaty, as it crosses up and is reversal safe at most distances.

{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.236K|label=Air Alpha Blade Diagonal({{clr|K|j.236K}})}} is a downward diagonal version that leads to a combo on hit. It can be difficult to land this as a cross up because of its unusual habit of whiffing at certain distances. It is also risky for mixups because of both the long startup and recovery. This is mostly used as a combo/reset tool and can also be mixed in with horizontal alpha blade to escape the corner.

{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.236P|label=Air Alpha Blade Horizontal({{clr|P|j.236P}})}} is nearly identical to the grounded version but recovers after Chipp lands. It can be used as a pseudo air dash to gain additional distance to escape the corner or go for an aerial cross up. When performed using a {{keyword|tiger Knee}} ({{clr|P|2369P}}) or instantly from a jump, Chipp will perform the move very low to the ground and recover faster than a grounded Alpha blade. This can give Chipp an opportunity for meterless conversions from the crossup especially in the corner. It is also very easy to get an aerial cross up if a jump-in attack is cancelled directly into this as Chipp is falling. Below is a list character specific conversions for TK Alpha blade cross-up.

[[GGST/Movement#Roman_Cancels | Purple Roman Cancel]] (PRC) can be combined with each version of Alpha Blade as a movement option. The initial momentum carried by Alpha Blade will be retained after the PRC because of how fast Chipp moves, while being able to perform any airborne action. This can be thought of as a "superdash" of sorts. Using Shuriken during Alpha Blade PRC will also retain its momentum.

An excellent option for Chipp to force his way in or out of pressure. Using Shuriken during Alpha Blade PRC will also retain its momentum.

===Fuzzy Setups===
Chipp’s jump arc is very high which prevents him from landing rising attacks under most circumstances. Despite this, Chipp can exploit his air gatlings and Roman Cancel to set up fuzzies and create tricky openings that are extremely difficult to defend.
:<code>{{clr|K|j.2K}} > 88FRRC > {{clr|H|j.H(1)}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷ ...</code> Universal fuzzy from a blocked {{clr|K|j.2K}} using Fast Roman Cancel.
:<code>IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > 88FRRC > {{clr|P|j.P}} > dl {{clr|D| j.D}} ▷...</code> A rising fuzzy that crosses up using Fast Roman Cancel. {{clr|P|j.P}} hits same-side and {{clr|D| j.D}} crosses up.
:<code>IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > 88FRRC > {{clr|H|j.H}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷...</code> A rising fuzzy that that stays same side using Fast Roman Cancel.
Chipp also has some unique character specific fuzzy setups:
:<code>...IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > jc > {{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code> Corner fuzzy setup for large bodies confirming into RRC. Works on {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin}} and {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}
:<code>...IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code> Corner fuzzy setup for large bodies confirming into RRC. Works on {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin}}, {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}, and {{Character Label|GGST|Goldlewis|label=Goldlewis}}
:<code> {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|P|j.P}}/{{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code> A rising fuzzy that works on {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}. Can be confirmed into a combo with RRC.
Please reference the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Matchups |Matchup Section]] for more detailed info on character specific setups.

===Back-Drift RRC Pressure===
In the corner Chipp's {{clr|K|6K}} positions him at the correct height for a back-drift RRC set-up which has the added benefit of helping confirm a potential hit from the poke.
<code>{{clr|K|6K}} > 44~RRC... </code> Set up for the back-drift RRC pressure
:<code>...dl {{clr|P|j.236[P]}} > {{clr|S|w.S}} > {{clr|H|w.H}} > {{clr|H|w.H}} > {{clr|H|w.6H}} > {{clr|S|w.S}} > {{clr|H|w.6H}} > WS > {{clr|H|w.6H}}</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} hit: confirm into wall run combo. Alpha blade requires a slight delay
:<code>...66 > {{clr|S|j.S}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: true block string option
:<code>...66 > {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: frame trap option. 1f gap between {{clr|D|j.D}} and {{clr|S|c.S}} that will beat mash/throw attempts
:<code>...66 > {{clr|K|j.K(2)}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: double overhead/frame trap option. 1f gap between {{clr|K|j.K}} and {{clr|S|c.S}}
:<code>...66 > {{clr|H|j.H}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: safejump option. The gap between the air dash and {{clr|H|j.H}} can frame trap
Once the opponent repspects the corner pressure Chipp can go for a mixups:
:<code>...66 > {{clr|K|j.K(2)}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> Overhead option with good reward
:<code>...66 > FD ▷ {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}}...</code> Low option utilizing [https://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#FD_Brake_Mix FD brake] to fast-fall. Gives a HKD allowing Chipp to continue pressure
Be cautious! With proper timing an opponent can back throw ({{clr|D|4D}}) the low option while remaining safe to the others. This will leave Chipp cornered and at a disadvantage.

===Blue RC Pressure===
Chipp can use his {{clr|K|5K}} and {{clr|S|c.S}} to jump cancel and activate [[GGST/Movement#Roman_Cancels|Blue Roman Cancel]] during his pressure. This can be used to lock your opponent into slowdown and initiate mixups.
<code>{{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}} > jc > BRC > {{clr|K|2K}}/{{clr|K|6K}} > {{clr|K|2K}}/{{clr|K|6K}} >...</code> Correctly timed BRC will keep Chipp grounded and enable him to cycle between {{clr|K|2K}} and {{clr|K|6K}} freely without gaps
<code>{{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}} > jc > j.66BRC > {{clr|S|j.S}} > 66 > {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > {{clr|D|j.D}}</code> Triple overhead from BRC slowdown
<code>{{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}} > sjc > 22BRC...</code> superjump cancel set up for BRC mix
:<code>...22BRC > {{clr|P|j.P}}</code> overhead option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from {{clr|P|j.P}}
:<code>...22BRC ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> low option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from {{clr|K|2K}}
<code>({{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}}) > DC > 88FBRC > {{clr|K|j.2K}}...</code> A fast overhead setup from a blocked {{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}} that confirms into {{clr|S|c.S}} on hit.
This same concept is also applicable from air dashes and jump-ins thanks to Chipp's triple jump.
<code>...{{clr|H|j.H}} > jc > 22BRC ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}/{{clr|K|6K}}</code> BRC pressure from a jump-in returning Chipp to the ground
<code>...{{clr|H|j.H}} > jc > 66BRC > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}}</code> Triple overhead BRC pressure from a jump-in
;FBRC Instant Overhead
Chipp can also make use of Fast BRC for extremely fast instant overhead setups. Forward-drift BRC at the lowest possible height allows Chipp to hit overhead with {{clr|1|j.P}} and convert for a full combo.
:<code> 44~66FBRC > {{clr|1|j.P}} ▷ {{clr|3|c.S}} > ... </code> Chipp's back dash is interrupted by the forward-drift BRC keeping him extremely low to the ground
The input is extremely tricky so practice is essential to make this setup consistent. Below are some techniques using the Dash Macro (DM) button to achieve the setup.
:<code> [4]+DM > [6]+DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Difficult to execute but can work in almost any situation
:<code> 44 > [6]+DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Easier version of the previous setup - Slower due to double tapping 4.
:<code> {DM} > 4~DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Easiest version but requires Chipp to run forward making it less flexible
During the running animation Chipp can still be affected by the 1.17 backdash bug which he can exploit to perform this setup more easily (particularly in example #3). These setups also have the added benefit of being DP safe when used on an opponents wake up.

===Frame Traps===
While Chipp may have many mix-up options, most of these options rely on the opponent respecting his pressure. Effective use of frame traps are essential to keep the enemy afraid and blocking to enable Chipp's mix-up game. Chipp has two natural frame traps which leave a 1f gap. These options will catch any attempt to mash, throw, or jump out of block stun:
<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>
<code>{{clr|K|5K/2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}}</code>
These cancels will leave a larger gap and will only frame trap slower options. Can beat 8f moves depending on the button/spacing but will always beat 9f moves. Good when fishing for counter hits:
<code>{{clr|K|5K/2K}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>
<code>{{clr|P|5P/2P}} > {{clr|H|6H}}</code>
Outside of these natural frame traps, Chipp must make use of the large cancel windows on his gatlings and specials to frame trap. These require manual timing so practice is essential to avoid getting hit by moves with fast start up such as ground throw ({{clr|D|4/6D}}) or {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol's}} {{clr|K|5K}}. Any delay cancel can be a frame trap but this list shows some of the most useful ones.
<code>{{clr|S|c.S}} > dl {{clr|S|2S}} > dl {{clr|H|2H}}</code>
<code>{{clr|K|5K}} > dl {{clr|K|5K}}</code>
<code>{{clr|S|236S}}~ dl {{clr|S|236S}}</code>
<code>Any Normal > dl {{clr|S|236S}}</code>


===Wall Breaks===
===Wall Breaks===
Line 485: Line 416:
It may seem like a joke but Chipp's Shuriken is in fact an optimal wall break tool when attempting to deny an opponent resources. The damage difference between {{clr|4|6H}} and {{clr|1|j.214P}} at the end of a combo is normally '''1-2 Damage''' with Shuriken giving ~4% less meter.

==Okizeme==
===Fighting Universal Mechanics===


===Meaty Options===
;Dealing with Backdash


After knocking down an opponent, Chipp can run in and attempt to hit them with a {{keyword|meaty}} attack as they recover. Properly timing your meaty attacks is essential since missing a meaty can be devastating for Chipp. If mistimed Chipp can lose his momentum and may left vulnerable to a punish. Any button can be used for a meaty attack, but generally the the more active frames a move has the easier it is to time.
Chipp has some excellent tools to catch and punish backdash such as his {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|2|5K}} gatling, his {{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|4|2H}} whiff cancel, and his extremely active {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=63214S|label=Command Grab}}. Chipp also has various techniques to cover backdashes including some [[../Strategy#Meaty_Options| Auto-Timed Meaty]] setups.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=c.S|label={{clr|S|c.S}}}} A very active button making it easy to time. Has good cancel options, good proration, and can be jump cancelled to bait burst. Attempting this from too far will give you {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=f.S|label={{clr|S|f.S}}}} which is one of Chipp's worst meaty options with only 2 active frames and limited cancel options.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2S|label={{clr|S|2S}}}} Has good range compared to {{clr|S|c.S}} making it a useful button for meaties from a soft knock-down. Auto-piloting into {{clr|H|2H}} can catch the opponent if {{clr|S|2S}} is back dashed.
In the corner Chipp can perform an {{keyword|OS}} that covers back dashes with {{clr|5|Throw}} while still using a confirmable string from {{clr|3|c.S}}. If Chipp whiffs {{clr|3|c.S}} due to a back dash, {{clr|3|2S}} will not come out and he will {{clr|5|Throw}} his opponent instead:


*{{clr|S|2S}} (whiff) > {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2H|label={{clr|H|2H}}}} A cheeky way to catch a careless foe trying to punish the whiffed {{clr|S|2S}}.
:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|2S}}~{{clr|5|6D}} > {{clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|3|236S}} </code>


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=5K|label={{clr|K|5K}}}} A strong option. Faster and reaches farther than {{clr|S|c.S}} while still being quite active. Has the added benefit of cancelling into itself, {{clr|K|2K}}, or {{clr|K|6K}}. Can lead to a {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}} knock down letting Chipp do a set-up or repeat the situation.
When {{clr|3|c.S}} is blocked, Chipp will cancel into his normal {{clr|3|2S}} string and {{clr|5|Throw}} will not come out.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2K|label={{clr|K|2K}}}} A good option for going low but not as active as {{clr|K|5K}} and quite stubby. Can lead to a {{clr|D|2D}} knock down letting Chipp do a set-up or repeat the situation.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=6K|label={{clr|K|6K}}}} Overhead option that can bait throws. Combos meterlessly into {{clr|2|2K}} if it connects late in the animation. Good for closing out rounds since it is very hard to react to.
;Dealing with Yellow Roman Cancel


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=6H|label={{clr|H|6H}}}} A very big and very active button with limited cancel options. Great when fishing for counter-hits.
[[File:GGST_YellowRC.png|thumb|right|150px|YRC Shock Wave]]
[[GGST/Mechanics#Yellow_Roman_Cancel| Yellow Roman Cancel]] (YRC) is a universal defensive mechanic that can be quite annoying for Chipp to deal with. A successful YRC will result in a guard crush and a chance to force an RPS on Chipp, jeopardizing his small health pool. Chipp should be alert when attacking an opponent with 50 meter, especially against someone without strong reversal options like {{Character Label|GGST|Happy Chaos|label=Chaos}} or {{Character Label|GGST|Zato-1|label=Zato}}. If Chipp can successfully bait and block YRC then his opponent will be left at -16 and open to a punish. Some effective ways Chipp can bait YRC include staggering low-commit moves like {{clr|2|2K}}/{{clr|2|5K}} as well as using jump cancelable moves. Note that frame advantage is not as important as total duration for baiting YRC because YRC is activated in blockstun. If a YRC is baited in the air (like from a jump cancel) Chipp should preemptively activate FD in order to fast-fall and land for an earlier punish. The window to both recognize and punish a YRC is fairly tight so attempting to use moves like {{clr|3|c.S}}/{{clr|4|6H}} will often fail. Good punish choices are moves that reach far or have low startup such as {{clr|4|2H}}/{{clr|5|2D}}/{{clr|2|5K}}/{{clr|3|f.S}}.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label={{clr|K|236K}}}} A strong option. Extremely difficult to react to and positions Chipp for a potential mix from the hit. The cross-up lets Chipp defeat many reversals.
===Roman Cancel Usage===


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label={{clr|P|236P}}}} A committal meaty option that can be used to call out reversals somewhat safely. Low reward and easily blocked option that should be used sparingly.
Chipp's meter is very valuable in his pressure and mix leading to a high opportunity cost for Roman Cancel extensions. Lower than average damage combined with longer than average combos means that Roman Cancel extensions rarely have good reward. Chipp can normally deal similar damage in combos by using his overdrive {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236236P|label=Banki Messai}} while simultaneously securing post wall break okizeme and positive bonus. Roman Cancel can be useful for converting some stray hits in neutral, but many of these can be followed up with Chipp's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S|label=Rekka}} into [[../Strategy#Kara_Cancel_Usage| Kara-Banki Messai]] for the same meter cost.


*{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=63214S|label={{clr|S|63214S}}}} Extremely active with a whopping 11 frames. Adds another layer to Chipp's pressure.


===Safejumps===
Common situations for Roman Cancels:


'''{{clr|4|Updated for Patch 1.18}}'''
:Converting far pokes like {{clr|3|f.S}}
:Converting Rekka hits
:Starting a wall run (88RRC)
:Keeping Beta Blade safe on block
:Enhancing Chipp's pressure/mix (as described on this page)


Safejumps are an effective way to keep your pressure going after a knockdown. Chipp has many safejump set-ups available, some of which begin from and loop back into his mix-up game. The most consistent way to safejump as Chipp is from his sweep ({{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}}) and his overdrive wall break {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236236P|label=Banki Messai ({{clr|P|236236P}})}}. The following set-ups are auto-timed and are safe to 9-frame reversals including moves like {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol's}}  {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Sol Badguy|input=623S|label=Volcanic Viper ({{clr|S|623S}})}}.


<code> ({{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|K|2K}}) > {{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|K|5K}} OTG > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> Chipp's most reliable auto-timed safejump. The {{clr|D|2D}} sweep must hit from close range to successfully OTG with {{clr|S|c.S}}.
===Wild Assault Usage===


<code> ...{{clr|K|236236K}} > Wallbreak > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}}</code> A very strong option after a wall break. Holding 8 after the stage transition guarantees the correct timing
Chipp's wild assault is extremely versatile and can combo into a wall break from anywhere on the screen. In many cases it can also completely lock out burst with the proper routing. This greatly enhances the threat of Chipp's mix, since he is almost guaranteed positive bonus from a hit. Chipp can combo into wild assault ({{clr|5|236D}}) from any level 2+ move on normal hit. He can combo into charged Wild Assault ({{clr|5|236[D]}}) from his {{clr|4|2H}} launcher and from level 2+ moves on counter-hit.


<code> {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|H|j.H}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}}, 9 > {{clr|H|j.H}}</code> End a BnB early to safely continue pressure. Works from {{clr|S|c.S}} or a deep jump-in. Can whiff if combo is too scaled.
Notable confirms:


:<code> {{clr|1|P}}/{{clr|2|K}} > {{clr|1|6P}} > {{clr|5|236D}} >... </code>


:'''Important note:''' Gravity scaling and character weight can impact Chipp's setups. This means that when fighting lighter characters like {{Character Label|GGST|Millia Rage|label=Millia}} or characters with slow reversals like {{Character Label|GGST|Ky Kiske|label=Ky}} the safejump timing will be much less strict. This also means for setups with extra hits or used against a heavier character like {{Character Label|GGST|Leo Whitefang|label=Leo}} the safejump timing will be more strict. This is particularly important when choosing to OTG with {{clr|S|c.S}} (faster safejump) or {{clr|K|5K}} (slower safejump).
:<code> {{clr|3|f.S}}/{{Clr|4|5H}}/{{clr|4|6H}}/{{clr|5|2D}} > {{clr|5|236D}} >... </code>


:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|5|236[D]}} >... </code>


In addition to his auto-timed safejumps, Chipp also has access to a number of useful manually timed setups. These Setups require practice to be made consistent but are very good at confusing an opponent.
:<code> CH {{clr|3|f.S}}/{{Clr|4|5H}}/{{clr|4|6H}}/{{clr|5|2D}} > {{clr|5|236[D]}} >... </code>


<code> {{clr|D|2D}} > micro-walk back > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> A manually timed safejump for a max range {{clr|D|2D}} sweep. Will work at all distances but the timing will vary
It can be difficult to justify comboing without Wild Assault since its cost is almost always refunded in positive bonus while also securing a strong game state for Chipp.


<code> {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > dl {{clr|S|j.S}} ▷ 66 > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > dl {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} ▷ 66 > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> Requires short dash before the IAD to work. Tricky but useful when you won't reach the wall.


<code> {{clr|K|236K}} > dl 66 > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> A useful safejump from {{clr|K|236K}} confirm. Air dash timing can change which side you land on
;Wild Assault Hitstop OS


Chipp can OS his Wild Assault to auto confirm from his main neutral pokes.


<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > dl {{clr|K|236K}} > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> for more information please reference the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Diagonal Alpha Blade Oki|Diagonal Alpha Blade Oki]] section
:<code> {{clr|3|f.S}} > {{clr|3|236S}}~{{clr|5|[D]}} > ... </code>


<code>...{{clr|D|2D}} > IAD > dl FD > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> for more information please reference the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#FD Brake Mix|FD Brake Mix]] section
This sequence gives Chipp a safe follow up into his Rekka on hit/block and an auto-confirm into his charged Wild Assault on counter hit.




Facing the corner Chipp has access to some new safejump set-ups.
;Wild Assault F-Shiki


<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > dl {{clr|P|236[P]}} > 4/2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> for more information please reference the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Wall_Run_Oki|Wall Run Resets & Oki]] section
When Chipp has extra meter to spend in his pressure he is able to perform a universal {{keyword|F-Shiki}} using Wild Assault's forward momentum.


<code>{{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|K|236[K]}}~2 > 66 > dl {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> Sets up a safejump {{clr|H|j.H}} from a close range sweep. At max range sweep will not safejump 7f reversals
:<code>{{Clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|2S}} > {{Clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|5|236D}} > {{clr|5|5D}} > 88FRRC > {{Clr|5|j.D}} > 9 > 66FBRC > {{clr|4|j.H}} >... </code>


This sequence secures continued pressure on block and confirms into a combo on successful hit.


Chipp also has the ability to exploit the properties of {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236H|label=Gamma Blade ({{clr|H|236H}})}} to have it hit meaty while remaining safe to reversals. Information about these set-ups can be found in the [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Gamma_Blade_Oki|Gamma Blade Oki]] section.
:<code> ...> {{Clr|5|j.D}} > 9 > 66FBRC > {{clr|4|j.H}} > {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|2|236K}} >... </code>

When used as a {{keyword|meaty}}, {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236H|label=Gamma Blade ({{clr|H|236H}})}} can easily and safely bait out reversals and mash attempts. It's important to note that if Chipp's Gamma Blade clone is attacked in its last few active frames, Chipp will take no damage which makes these set-ups very safe. On block, Chipp is plus allowing for continued pressure.

:<code>Ground throw ({{clr|D|4/6D}}) ▷ 66 > {{clr|D|2D}} OTG > {{clr|H|236H}} </code> Works when Chipp throws the opponent into the corner. The shortest possible dash before the OTG ensures the clone will catch wakeup back dash.
Chipp can use his {{clr|K|5K}} and {{clr|S|c.S}} to jump cancel (jc) / dash cancel (DC) and activate [[GGST/Mechanics#Roman_Cancels|Blue Roman Cancel]] during his pressure. This can be used to lock your opponent into slowdown and initiate mixups.

===Wall Run Resets & Oki===
:<code>...22BRC > {{clr|P|j.P}}</code> overhead option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from {{clr|P|j.P}}


'''{{clr|4|Updated for patch 1.18}}'''
:<code>...22BRC ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> low option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from {{clr|K|2K}}


In the corner Chipp can make use of his wall run ability to create extremely tricky mix-ups. In addition to being very ambiguous, many of the overhead options are also safe against reversal attempts and can set up a [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Grounded_Wall_Splat_Mix| grounded wall splat]]. There are many different ways to set up wall run resets.


<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > dl {{clr|P|236[P]}} > dl 2/4 > dl {{clr|S|j.S}}</code> example wall run safejump from a {{clr|D|2D}} sweep that can hit left/right
<code>({{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}}) > DC > 88FBRC > {{clr|K|j.2K}}...</code> A fast overhead setup from a blocked {{clr|K|5K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}} that confirms into {{clr|S|c.S}} on hit.


The timing can be tricky since you need different cancel timings and different amounts of wallrun time to hit cross-up or same side. Against all of the female characters {{clr|S|j.S}} whiffs more easily than normal making {{clr|D|j.D}} a safer option instead. The timing on {{clr|D|j.D}} must be slightly delayed since it doesn't hit both sides like {{clr|S|j.S}} and Chipp must turn around first. {{clr|D|2D}} and {{clr|S|2S}} are the same speed so Chipp can use {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} to break the wall after the mix instead of looping the situation with sweep.


This same concept is also applicable from air dashes and jump-ins thanks to Chipp's triple jump.


Chipp can also end a combo near the corner early using {{clr|H|5H}} which will cause a tumble animation. The tumble gives Chipp enough time to use Alpha Blade to set up 4-way mix-up.
<code>...{{clr|H|j.H}} > jc > 22BRC ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> BRC pressure from a jump-in returning Chipp to the ground


<code> {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|H|236H}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}} > dl {{clr|P|236[P]}}...</code> Example setup from a corner Gamma Blade loop combo
<code>...{{clr|H|j.H}} > jc > 66BRC > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}}</code> Triple overhead BRC pressure from a jump-in
:<code>...{{clr|P|236[P]}} > dl 2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> cross-up or same-side overhead safejump. Variable delay timings depending on the option
:<code>...{{clr|P|236[P]}} > 2 > whiff {{clr|H|j.H}} ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> cross-up low option
:<code>...{{clr|P|236[P]}} > 2 ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> same-side low option




When approaching the corner from farther away, Chipp can also use his {{clr|P|6P}} to launch his opponent toward the wall for an extremely fast reset that can be performed from almost any hit. Keep in mind that the distance to the wall can impact the timing, giving Chipp less control over the reset. This is best used at higher wall health since the {{clr|P|6P}} tends to splat early.

Chipp can make use of Fast BRC for extremely fast instant overhead setups. Forward-drift BRC at the lowest possible height allows Chipp to hit overhead with {{clr|1|j.P}} and convert for a full combo. Chipp can still be affected by the patch 1.17 backdash bug during his running animation, which he can exploit to perform this setup more easily. These setups also have the added benefit of being DP safe when used on an opponents wake up.


:<code> 44~66FBRC > {{clr|1|j.P}} ▷ {{clr|3|c.S}} > ... </code> Chipp's back dash is interrupted by the forward-drift BRC keeping him extremely low to the ground


When performing and air combo toward the corner Chipp can drop the combo early and use {{clr|P|P}} Alpha Blade to set up a mix. This setup is height/spacing dependant and can lose to reversals. Delaying {{clr|K|j.K}} and/or Alpha Blade will place Chipp lower down so he can steal the corner for a cross up.
The input is extremely tricky so practice is essential to make this setup consistent. Below are some techniques using the Dash Macro (DM) button to achieve the setup.


<code> {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > dl {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > dl {{clr|P|j.236[P]}}~2/4 > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> Example air combo to set up a wall mix
:<code> [4]+DM > [6]+DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Difficult to execute but can work in almost any situation


:<code> 44 > [6]+DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Easier version of the previous setup - Slower due to double tapping 4.


As of patch '''1.10''' Chipp has easier access to his [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Combos#Corner_Double_Alpha_Blade_Combos| Double Alpha Blade Corner Route]]. This allows Chipp to reliably reach the ground from his corner combos, enabling wall-run resets which can also set up a [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Grounded_Wall_Splat_Mix| grounded wall splat]] and additional mix.
:<code> {DM} > 4~DM > RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Easiest version but requires Chipp to run forward making it less flexible. Exploits the backdash bug from 1.17.
 
<code> {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}}, {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷... </code> Basic corner double Alpha Blade route ending on the ground
:<code> ...▷ 6 > {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|S|2S}}/{{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}}... </code> Set up a reversal-safe meaty {{clr|S|j.S}} that hits same-side and can set up grounded wall splat. Must cancel from {{clr|S|2S}} and manually delay escape off the wall to hit same-side on large characters like {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin}} or {{Character Label|GGST|Nagoriyuki|label=Nagoriyuki}}. Required a short walk forward before attacking.
::: <code> ...▷ {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}}/{{clr|H|6H}} > GWS </code> Example set up for a [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Grounded_Wall_Splat_Mix| grounded wall splat]] following a same-side reset.
: <code> ...▷ dl {{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|S|2S}}/{{clr|K|2K}} > dl {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}}...</code> Set up a reversal-safe meaty {{clr|S|j.S}} that hits cross-up with big damage potential on hit. Chipp can steal the corner by either delaying the hit after the second {{clr|K|K}} Alpha Blade OR by delaying the timing of {{clr|P|P}} Alpha Blade.
 


Chipp can also carry his opponent to the ground from wall run combos in order to set up a mix.
:<code> 2+DM~1~4+RC > {{clr|1|j.P}} > ...</code> Alternate technique which uses a quarter circle motion (214) and exploits the input buffer system


<code> {{clr|K|6K}} > 88RRC > 66 > {{clr|S|w.S}} > {{clr|H|w.H}} > {{clr|H|w.H}}~4 > dl 7 > dl {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} >... </code>
Chipp can force whiffs using the backdash from this setup making them a viable defensive option.
 
After {{clr|H|w.H}} Chipp must immediately dismount away from the wall (4) and time a delayed back jump into {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} to continue the combo. This creates the correct distance from the wall for {{clr|K|j.236K}} to space him for a mix on the ground. Timing is variable between weights so practice is essential.

===Grounded Wall Splat Mix===
===F-Shiki Setups===
''Sometimes called "Fuzzy Overhead" or "Rising Fuzzy"''


'''{{clr|4|Updated for patch 1.18}}'''
Chipp’s jump arc is very high which prevents him from landing rising attacks under most circumstances. Despite this, Chipp can exploit his air gatlings and Roman Cancel to set up an F-Shiki and create tricky openings that are extremely difficult to defend.  


Grounded wall splats are a special type of wall splat that prevents your opponent from teching off the wall and have a unique recovery animation. This recovery animation is quite long and gives Chipp time to set up extremely tricky mix-ups that must be respected. To set up a grounded wall splat Chipp must start his combo on a grounded opponent and only use buttons that keep his opponent grounded up until the wall splat. {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2H|label={{clr|H|2H}}}}, {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=5D|label={{clr|D|5D}}}}, {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}}, {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236K|label=Senshuu}}, {{clr|P|P}}/{{clr|K|K}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade}}, and Red Roman Cancel will all prevent a grounded wall splat since they put the opponent airborne. These requirements are quite specific so it is easiest to achieve a grounded wall splat using resets that lower wall health such as [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#Wall_Run_Resets_.26_Oki| Wall run resets]]:
:<code>{{clr|K|j.2K}} > 88FRRC > {{clr|H|j.H(1)}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷ ...</code>


:<code> {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}}, {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ 6 > {{clr|K|2K}}/{{clr|S|c.S}}/{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} RESET ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}} GWS...</code> Corner BnB combo into auto-timed reset and GWS.

Chipp can use different combos to cause a grounded wall splat but some combos will require different ways to auto-time the mix. The easiest version is the Double Alpha Blade method after a {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}} splat.
Setup for a blocked {{clr|4|j.H}} in the corner. {{clr|4|j.H}} must hit deep in the jump-in. {{clr|2|2K}} after landing for {{Character Label|GGST|Bridget|label=Bridget}} and {{Character Label|GGST|Giovanna|label=Gio}}.


:<code> ...{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}} GWS > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 ▷ {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> A cross-up {{clr|S|j.S}} that hits meaty
:<code>({{clr|3|c.S}} OTG) > SJ > IAD > {{clr|4|j.H(2)}} > {{clr|5|j.D}} 88FRRC > {{clr|H|j.H(2)}} > dl {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷...</code>  


:<code> ...{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|H|6H}} GWS > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 ▷ {{clr|K|236[K]}}~2 > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> A same-side {{clr|H|j.H}} that hits meaty
Six overheads using super jump height to connect both hits of {{clr|4|j.H}}. Small delay before last {{clr|5|j.D}} leaves Chipp plus enough for a {{clr|3|c.S}} extension while simultaneously frame trapping and baiting reversals.


These setups are completely auto-timed making them easy and consistent but the different Alpha Blade versions can make it easy for a prepared opponent to block the mix up.
:<code>IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > 88FRRC > {{clr|P|j.P}} > dl {{clr|D| j.D}} ▷...</code>

:<code> ...{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}} GWS > IAD back > dl {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code> A same-side {{clr|S|j.S}} that safejumps


:<code> ...{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}} GWS > IAD back > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|S|j.S}} whiff ▷ {{clr|K|2K}} </code> A same-side fake overhead into meaty {{clr|K|2K}}. Can loop into another GWS using {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|P|6P}} > {{clr|S|236S}}


Character specific F-Shiki setups:


Chipp can also manually time a delay to prevent giving away which side he will attack on:
:<code>...IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > jc > {{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code>


:<code>...GWS > walk forward/back > {{clr|P|236[P]}}~4 > dl {{clr|D|j.D}}/{{clr|S|j.S}}... </code> The manual timing will depend entirely on the setup and which side Chipp wants to attack
Corner F-Shiki setup for large bodies confirming into RRC. Works on {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin}} and {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}


For the same-side mix {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷ {{clr|S|f.S}} > {{clr|S|236S}} must be used to loop it back to another grounded wall splat.
:<code>...IAD > {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code>


Corner fuzzy setup for large bodies confirming into RRC. Works on {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin}}, {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}, and {{Character Label|GGST|Goldlewis|label=Goldlewis}}


It is also possible to steal the corner with Alpha Blade and un-stick the opponent from the wall. This is an auto-timed setup from {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}} spacing that allows Chipp to true combo from a GWS for guaranteed damage:
:<code> {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|P|j.P}}/{{clr|D|j.D}} > RRC...</code>


:<code> ...{{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|5H}} GWS , (whiff) {{clr|P|5P}} , {{clr|P|236[P]}}~2 > {{clr|D|j.D}}... </code>
An F-Shiki that works on {{Character Label|GGST|Faust|label=Faust}}. Can be confirmed into a combo with RRC.


If correctly timed {{clr|D|j.D}} will continue the combo counter. {{clr|P|5P}} and {{clr|P|236[P]}} are links which can make this setup difficult to time. By giving up his mix in the corner Chipp can set up additional mix and setplay from the corner steal.

By taking a short walk backward Chipp can reliably control if he will hit left/right from this setup. This can technically give away which side Chipp will attack on, but the corner makes the animation extremely subtle. Only the most knowledgable opponents will be able to react to this without having to guess. If Chipp crosses up her can combo into another GWS but he will not get the same auto timed setup.

===Diagonal Alpha Blade Oki===
:<code>...66 > {{clr|S|j.S}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: true block string option
From a {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}} sweep, a slightly delayed cancel into a whiffed {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label={{clr|K|K}} Alpha Blade ({{clr|K|236K}})}} into falling {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.H|label={{clr|H|j.H}}}} is a simple, yet effective option that loops into itself very nicely.  
By using different combos and gatling timings into the sweep ({{clr|D|2D}}), Chipp can adjust the spacing which makes the falling {{clr|H|j.H}} somewhat ambiguous.


<code> {{clr|K|5K}} > {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}} > dl {{clr|K|236K}} > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code> Spaces for a cross-up {{clr|H|j.H}} that is also a safejump
:<code>...66 > {{clr|D|j.D}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: frame trap option. 1f gap between {{clr|D|j.D}} and {{clr|S|c.S}} that will beat mash/throw attempts


:<code>...66 > {{clr|K|j.K(2)}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: double overhead/frame trap option. 1f gap between {{clr|K|j.K}} and {{clr|S|c.S}}


Early cancelling a {{clr|D|2D}} sweep into {{clr|K|K}} Alpha Blade, Chipp can land an empty-jump low while still being safe to wake up throw or mash. Since the different timing can give it away, cancelling with the delayed timing can help keep the setup ambiguous but risks losing to throw/mash. Good to use when the falling {{clr|H|j.H}} isn't particularly ambiguous due to spacing.
:<code>...66 > {{clr|H|j.H}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> On {{clr|K|6K}} block: safejump option. The gap between the air dash and {{clr|H|j.H}} can frame trap


<code> {{clr|K|5K}} > {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > whiff {{clr|H|j.H}} ▷ {{clr|K|2K}} </code> Spaces for a cross-up {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2K|label={{clr|K|2K}}}} that hits meaty. This version is not safe to reversals


Once the opponent repspects the corner pressure Chipp can go for a mixups:


Chipp can also use these setups near the corner with the correct spacing.
:<code>...66 > {{clr|K|j.K(2)}} ▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}}...</code> Overhead option with good reward


<code> Throw ({{clr|D|6D}}) > (whiff) {{clr|K|236K}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} </code> Safejump for slower reversals when throwing an opponent into the corner. {{clr|D|j.D}} hits low to the ground defeating {{clr|P|6P}} attempts.

=== FD Brake Mix===
Be cautious! With proper timing an opponent can back throw ({{clr|D|4D}}) the low option while remaining safe to the others. This will leave Chipp cornered and at a disadvantage.


Chipp's [https://glossary.infil.net/?t=FD%20Brake FD Brake] (also known as Faultless Defense Cancel "FDC") mix is a powerful option that enables Chipp to fall quickly from the air which makes his trajectory hard to predict and react to. It has the added benefit of allowing Chipp to launch aerial attacks closer to the ground which turns many setups into safejumps.

}}


<code> {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|S|c.S}} OTG > IAD > dl FD > {{clr|S|j.S}}...</code> A variation of the FD brake route above to perform a crossup {{clr|S|j.S}} that can bait reversals.
===Dash Cancel Usage===


<code> ({{clr|K|5K}}) > {{clr|K|236K}} > 66 > dl FD > {{clr|S|j.S}}...</code> A simple example of FD brake from an Alpha Blade cross up. Varied delay on the FD lets Chipp hit on the left or right side.
Unlike many other characters, Chipp does not need to use dash cancel to keep close to his opponent during his offense. He can normally dash in after a move recovers rather than dash cancel. Chipp's primary uses for dash cancel include:
* [[../Okizeme#Meaty_Options| Auto-timing meaty options]]
* [[../Strategy#Kara_Cancel_Usage| Kara-cancels to change the properties of his moves]]


===Kara Cancel Usage===


One application for this mix is from a {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2D|label={{clr|D|2D}}}} sweep (sometimes called "The Leffen™ Mix"). This is a 4-way mix that is very difficult to react to and loops into itself allowing for continued pressure. Although there is the potential for the opponent to react to the FD effect before the hit, both overhead options can safejump. The mix might need FD timings in the air depending on how far you are after the sweep.
As of patch 1.18 Chipp is able to make use of {{keyword|kara cancel}}s in his offense. The most significant of these being the ability to kara cancel his rekka series into his overdrive {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236236P|label=Banki Messai ({{clr|P|236236P}})}} for more reliable combo enders.


<code> {{clr|K|5K}} > {{clr|K|5K}} > {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}}...</code> example set up for the mix. Different gatlings will give different spacing and change the mix accordingly
:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|K|236K}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>
:<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > IAD > dl FD > {{clr|S|j.S}}</code> cross-up overhead option that is a safejump
:<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > IAD > dl FD ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> cross-up low option that loses to throws/reversals
:<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > IAD > (whiff) {{clr|P|j.P}} ▷ {{clr|K|2K}}</code> same-side low option that loses to throws/reversals
:<code> ...{{clr|D|2D}} > micro walk back > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}}</code> same-side overhead option that is a safejump. Manual delay makes this safejump somewhat tricky


Remember that adjusting combo and gatling timings to ensure the correct spacing is essential for this mix-up.

ref: [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1412600751025803265 Leffen's original tweet] [https://imgur.com/a/30u9ekj Punpunch's Sweep the Leg Album]
Both {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236S|label=Rokusai (~{{clr|S|236S}})}} and {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236K|label=Senshuu (~{{clr|K|236K}})}} can be used to kara cancel into Banki Messai by quickly inputting {{clr|P|P}} after their input and thus overwriting the previous move. This can be particularly useful for situations where Chipp cannot reach the wall to cause a wall splat or when the wall has too much health. Chipp can also use this to help him hit confirm pokes into an overdrive.


===Shuriken Oki===
:<code> {{clr|S|f.S}} > {{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|K|236K}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>


Chipp's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.214P|label=Shuriken ({{clr|P|j.214P}})}} is an downward air-projectile with unusual properties. The move is slow, with long start-up, but covers a great angle. While this makes it difficult to use in neutral, it still gives Chipp another tool to lock down his opponent with the appropriate setup. Chipp can end his air BnB early in order to space his opponent for a {{keyword|meaty}} shuriken that will leave him plus. These routes are quite stable from character to character, but gravity scaling and weight differences may leave some characters farther than others.


<code> {{clr|S|c.S/2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > 66 > {{clr|D|j.D}} > {{clr|P|j.214P}}</code>
In some situations there may be too long of a delay between each input which can cause the kara to fail. This can be avoided by using the full input for Banki Messai at the end of a rekka sequence.


<code> {{clr|S|c.S/2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}} > 66 > {{clr|P|j.214P}}</code>
:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|K|236236K}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>


Be aware that shuriken oki can lose to reversals since these setups leave Chipp very close in front of his opponent.
:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236236S}}~{{clr|P|P}} </code>

[https://twitter.com/iNicksK/status/1402949009535348738?s=20 ref3]


Kara-Zansei Rouga is also possible, but offers no obvious benefit over Banki Messai while being much more difficult to execute. It also does not combo from normal rekka confirms.
:<code> ...{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|2|632141236K}}~{{clr|4|H}} </code>


===DP RRC Setups===


When cornered or midscreen Chipp can escape pressure with his {{keyword|reversal}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=623S|label=Beta Blade ({{clr|S|623S}})}} while simultaneously setting up an advantageous situation using [[GGST/Movement#Roman_Cancels|Red Roman Cancel]].
Kara cancels can also be used to gain extra meter before a wall break.


<code> {{clr|S|623S(2)}} > 44RRC ▷ 66 > {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷...</code>
:<code> ...{{clr|1|2362236P}} </code>


By pressing down (2) an extra time during the Banki Messai input, Chipp will kara cancel {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade Horizontal ({{clr|1|236P}})}} into the overdrive granting extra meter. This is particularly useful when Chipp is just below 50 meter.


This set up works for midweights and can set up an [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#FD_Brake_Mix|FD Brake mix]] or a safejump. Works for reversals such as {{Character Label|GGST|Sol_Badguy|label=Sol's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Sol Badguy|input=623S|label={{clr|S|S}} Volcanic Viper ({{clr|S|623S}})}}


<code> ...▷ {{clr|K|5K}} > IAD > FD > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code>


<code> ...▷ {{clr|K|5K}} > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code>
Chipp is also able to kara cancel the startup of a [[GGST/Mechanics#Dash_Cancel| Dash Cancel]] to change the properties of some of his moves.


:<code> ({{clr|K|5K}}) > DC~{{clr|K|236K}}... </code>


For lightweights Chipp can use the same RRC combo with {{clr|K|2K}} instead.
Dash cancelling from a blocked button into {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label=Alpha Blade Diagonal ({{clr|K|236K}})}} makes the cross up travel farther allowing for unique pressure and setups on hit or block.


<code> ...▷ {{clr|K|2K}} > IAD > FD > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code>
:<code> ({{clr|K|5K}}) > DC~{{clr|3|236S}}... </code>


<code> ...▷ {{clr|K|2K}} > IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code>
Kara-cancelling into {{clr|3|Resshou}} keeps Chipp much closer in the event of a counter-hit, allowing a link into {{Clr|3|2S}}. This can be particularly useful when dealing with Faultless Defense.


This set up works for lightweights and can set up an [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#FD_Brake_Mix|FD Brake mix]] or a safejump. Works for reversals such as {{Character Label|GGST|Millia_Rage|label=Millia's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Millia Rage|input=632146H|label=Winger ({{clr|H|632146H}})}}
Chipp can also kara-cancel the startup of his {{clr|4|2H}} into specials to extend their range. This is only possible from the <code>{{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|4|2H}}</code> gatling.


:<code>{{clr|3|2S}}~{{clr|4|2H}} > dl {{clr|3|623S}}</code>


Against heavies Chipp must up-drift RRC (88RRC) for the setup to work properly.
This sequence extends the reach of Beta Blade allowing Chipp to true string into it from {{clr|3|2S}}. This can act as an extremely niche but optimal confirm.


<code> {{clr|S|623S(2)}} > 88RRC ▷ {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|S|j.S}} > jc > {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷...</code>
:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|4|2H}}~{{clr|4|36H}}</code>


This set up works for heavyweights and can set up an [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Strategy#FD_Brake_Mix|FD Brake mix]] or a safejump. Works for reversals such as {{Character Label|GGST|Leo Whitefang|label=Leo's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Leo Whitefang|input=[2]8S|label={{clr|S|S}} Eisensturm ({{clr|S|[2]8S}})}}
This sequence keeps Chipp closer during Gamma Blade for stronger pressure.


<code> ...▷ {{clr|K|2K}} > IAD > FD > {{clr|S|j.S}} </code>

==Gimmicks & Other Tech==


This section is reserved for techniques that might be considered "gimmicks". These are often extremely costly for the effect they achieve, or rely heavily on an opponent's lack of knowledge. Other "non-gimmick" tech is listed here if it does not have a clear role in Chipp's offense.


Chipp can also choose to extend the combo instead of setting up mix (works on all weights).
Just because something is listed here does not mean it is "bad" or "useless". It is up to the player to find situations where these techniques might fit into their game plan.


<code> ...▷ {{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} >... </code>


<big>'''Infinite Blockstring'''</big>


===Corner Big Body Left/Right Mix===
While in [[GGST/Mechanics#Positive_Bonus| Positive Bonus]] Chipp is able to perform a true infinite blockstring. This sequence can be useful for building RISC but is otherwise quite simple to block.


In the corner Chipp can set up safe and ambigous jump-ins from his [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff/Combos#Corner_Double_Alpha_Blade_Combos| Corner Double Alpha Blade Route]] that work well on big body characters like {{Character Label|GGST|Nagoriyuki|label=Nagoriyuki}}.
:<code> [{{clr|S|c.S}} > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|S|236S}} > 88RRC > 66 > {{clr|K|j.K(1)}} > {{clr|D|j.D}}] x n </code>


<code> ({{clr|S|c.S}}) > {{clr|S|2S}} > {{clr|H|2H}} > {{clr|K|236K}}, {{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ dl IAD... </code>


After the standing-up animation finishes completely, Chipp can safejump same-side or steal the corner by performing an IAD from a backward (7) or neutral jump (8).
As of patch 1.18 Chipp is able to better abuse these strings by using Fast Roman Cancel (FRC) to reduce his meter usage during the string and loop them more easily.
 
<code> ...{{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ dl 7 IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code>
 
<code> ...{{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ dl 8 IAD > {{clr|H|j.H}} </code>
 
Against medium bodies like {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol}} only the neutral jump (8) setup will work making it less ambiguous but still safe.
 
 
<code> ...{{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ dl 7 IAD > {{clr|K|j.2K}} </code>
 
<code> ...{{clr|K|j.236K}} ▷ dl 8 IAD > {{clr|K|j.2K}} </code>
 
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.2K|label={{clr|K|j.2K}}}} must be used for small bodies like {{Character Label|GGST|May|label=May}} making the setup less safe but still ambiguous.
 
All of these setups require the entire standing anmation to complete after {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.236K|label={{clr|K|j.236K}}}}.

Chipp can also take advantage of {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236H|label=Gamma Blade ({{clr|H|236H}})}} to defeat an opponent attempting to use [[GGST/Mechanics#Faultless_Defense| Faultless Defense]] (FD) or [[GGST/Mechanics#Instant_Faultless_Defense| Instant Faultless Defense]] (IBFD) to end his pressure.

Using Super Jump Install (SJI) Chipp can perform similar sequences without positive bonus:

Once the opponent reaches max RISC, Chipp can go for a simple high/low during the string using moves like {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=2K|label={{clr|K|2K}}}}, {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=6K|label={{clr|K|6K}}}}, or {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=5D|label={{clr|D|5D}}}} leading to an extremely damaging combo.

Chipp can Fast RRC upward to perform an instant overhead by maintaining the forward momentum from {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236S|label=Rokusai (~{{clr|S|236S}})}}. This gives a true string on block and auto-confirms a combo from the rekka or overhead hit. Minimal delay between Rokusai and the FRRC is needed for the overhead connect consistently (~7f window).

<big>'''RC Slingshot'''</big>
Chipp can cancel the startup of some of his moves with Roman Cancel (RC) to preserve their momentum as a movement option. RC slingshot is not unique to Chipp, but he can apply it better than most thanks to his many fast moving specials.
:<code> {{clr|1|j.236P}} > 66FPRC > {{clr|3|j.S}} </code> Example of RC slingshot using FPRC.
Notable options for RC slingshot include:
:Air Alpha Blade Horizontal - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp across the screen extremely quickly. Chipp can get in on his opponent especially when used at a low height.
:Air Alpha Blade Diagonal - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp downward at a steep angle. Can be useful to get in on an opponent, but most useful as an escape option when cornered.
:Zansei Rouga - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp upward at a shallow angle. Extremely expensive so it is best used to keep a poorly timed overdrive safe.
:Air Dash - Cancelling early with FBRC will fling Chipp forward. Useful to extend the range of his jump-in attacks.
It is worth nothing that Chipp has other strong tools to navigate neutral making these very situational.
<big>'''Super Jump Install'''</big>
Chipp can use Super Jump Install (SJI) to change the properties of his moves. The properties of a super jump can be applied to any airborne special by cancelling a jump-cancellable special using a {{keyword|tiger knee}} input. SJI can also be input by buffering a super jump before the jump-cancel window (eg {{clr|3|28236S}} / {{clr|3|2369S}})
Resshou with SJI will change the airborne properties following Senshuu, allowing for different pressure/combo sequences.
:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|236S}}~{{clr|2|236K}} > 66FRRC > {{clr|4|j.H}} ></code> Non-SJI sequence. In the corner {{clr|4|j.H}} connects before landing.
:<code> {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|3|2369S}}~{{clr|2|236K}} > 66FRRC > {{clr|4|j.H}} > {{clr|5|j.D}}</code> SJI sequence. In the corner {{clr|4|j.H}} > {{clr|5|j.D}} connects before landing.
Chipp can also use SJI to change the properties of his wall run.
:<code> {{clr|1|236[P]}}~[2] > {{clr|4|j.H}} </code> Non-SJI sequence. {{clr|4|j.H}} hits once after the wall run.
:<code> {{clr|1|2369[P]}}~[2] > {{clr|4|j.H}} </code> SJI sequence. {{clr|4|j.H}} hits twice after the wall run.
SJI only applies the special aerial properties after a button is used.

==Defense==
==Defense==
Chipp may have the lowest life in the game but this does not mean he has poor defense! Chipp can be difficult to pressure after a knockdown due to the threat of his 7f DP: [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff#Special_Moves| Beta Blade]] ({{clr|S|623S}}). Chipp also has his {{clr|P|5P}}, a lightning fast 3f jab which allows him to mash out of pressure and anti-air with little commitment. Exploiting Chipp's high jump height and multiple air options in combination with his cross up moves [[GGST/Chipp_Zanuff#Special_Moves|Alpha Blade Horizontal/Diagonal]] ({{clr|P|236P}}/{{clr|K|236K}}) will make it difficult for an opponent to keep Chipp in the corner. All of these options synergize well with universal mechanics such as Faultless Defense, Instant Block, and Yellow Roman Cancel enabling Chipp to steal back his turn with ease and run his game plan.

This is a great tool to use against opponents with slightly disjointed attacks, or when trying to counter poke from a distance. For example, it may be useful in matchups like {{Character Label|GGST|Leo Whitefang|label=Leo}} or {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol}}, as both of these characters excel have advancing moves that they can use to get in on Chipp. This move cannot be use carelessly since {{clr|4|5H}} leaves a large hurtbox far in front of Chipp during recovery.

At 25f recovery, whiffing this move could be fatal for Chipp, so it is important to be careful when using it. It may be better to avoid using this move often, and use other pokes at closer ranges instead.

<div class="attack-info">
Chipp's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=j.2K|label={{clr|K|j.2K}}}} is a fast dive kick that hits at a steep angle, which can make it extremely difficult to block. An effective strategy is targeting the moves long recovery by dashing/back dashing out of way and attempting to punish. Another simple option is to take advantage of its large hurtbox by simply pressing any high reaching button. Most buttons can easily counter hit Chipp's {{clr|K|j.2K}} (including some lows) so it is rarely necessary to attempt a {{clr|P|6P}} and risk being crossed up.
On block, Chipp's {{clr|K|j.2K}} will hit multiple times with each hit being an {{keyword|overhead}}, so it is important to avoid crouch blocking too early. Chipp will be left at advantage and up close forcing a very unfavourable {{keyword|RPS}} guessing game on his opponent. It is best to counter hit {{clr|K|j.2K}} and avoid the situation entirely.

GGST_Chipp_Zanuff_Resshou.png| Start of Chipp's Rekka

</div>
<div class="attack-info">
Chipp's {{keyword|rekka}} is an advancing attack series that is used in combos or as a pressure tool. Chipp's rekka always begins with {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S|label={{clr|3|Resshou (Rekka 1)}}}} which is -4 with good push back. It can be followed up with
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236S|label={{clr|3|Rokusai (Rekka 2)}}}} which is -6 on block but leaves Chipp somewhat far. {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236S 236K|label={{clr|2|Senshuu (Rekka 3)}}}} can follow either rekka 1 or 2 and hits overhead after a long startup and leaves Chipp close at -9 ending the series. It is risky to challenge rekka 1 on block despite being negative. The spacing allows Chipp to press one of his fast far reaching buttons or cancel quickly into rekka 2 for a counter hit. A [https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Fuzzy| fuzzy] mash timing can cover the follow up into rekka 3, delayed rekka 2, or attempts to run back in and reset pressure but can still lose to fast rekka 2 follow up. This is what creates the main guessing game around Chipp's rekka. After blocking rekka 2 it almost always best to press a button to end Chipp's turn. Attempts to poke low may lose if Chipp cancels into rekka 3 since it has a raised hurtbox that can low-crush.

</gallery>
</div>
<div class="attack-info">
Chipp's Alpha Blade is a fast cross-up move move that is used in Chipp's combos and pressure. Chipp will vanish with a unique sound cue (shared between all versions) and then re-appear at a fixed distance before the attack activates. Chipp has four versions of Alpha Blade, each performing the same attack along a different path with slightly different frame data. It is important to remember that Alpha Blade should be guarded based on the side Chipp re-appears on and '''NOT''' based on the side the move is used from. This is particularly important near the corner where {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236K|label={{clr|2|Alpha Blade Diagonal}}}} will cause Chipp to perform a bounce off the wall which keeps him same-side. Despite being invisible during the startup of Alpha Blade, Chipp is not invulnerable. Chipp has an enlarged hurtbox that travels slowly along the path of the move which can be easily counter hit or {{clr|5|thrown}} on a read or reaction. A [https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Fuzzy fuzzy] jump forward can also be used to cover both versions of Alpha Blade in block strings while simultaneously defending against Chipp's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=63214S|label=Command Grab}}. When {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label={{clr|1|Alpha Blade Horizontal}}}} is blocked, Chipp will be left close and at disadvantage so he will not be able to continue pressure freely. When label=Alpha Blade Diagonal  is blocked fast jump buttons like {{clr|P|j.P}} or an {{clr|5|air throw}} can can be used to end Chipp's pressure. Although the threat of Alpha Blade may seem overwhelming, it is important to remember that Chipp's reward from Alpha Blade is low even when he uses meter.

<div class="attack-info">
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=63214S|label={{clr|3|Genrou Zan}}}} is a tricky command grab and an important part of Chipp's pressure. While it has a slow start up, it can be mixed in with Chipp's other options making it difficult to react to. Chipp will disappear with a unique sound cue and animation when using Genrou Zan. It is essential to recognize these cues to avoid confusing Genrou Zan with {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade}}. Despite disappearing, Chipp has a hurtbox during this time and can easily be hit out of the move on reaction. If Genrou Zan is avoided by jumping, it will be very difficult to punish Chipp since the move has a somewhat short recovery. An {{clr|5|air throw}} is the best way to guarantee a punish. Forward jumping with [https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Fuzzy fuzzy] timing is a useful option since it covers both Genrou Zan and Alpha Blade. Attempts to back dash and escape will usually fail since Genrou Zan has a very large hitbox and is extremely active. After being knocked down, any high reaching 5f button can interrupt a meaty Genrou Zan.

</div>
<div class="attack-info">
{{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=632146H|label={{clr|4|Zansei Rouga}}}} is Chipp's main damage overdrive which sends him back and forth several times hitting anything along his path. This move has good damage and covers a huge portion of the screen but has long recovery and will never break the wall. Expect Chipp to use this move to whiff punish, in combos, or as a gimmick in neutral. Despite the move crossing back and forth, Zansei Rouga only needs to be blocked from the side of the initial hit with no need to switch from left to right. In other words, if Chipp connects this move from the left side of the screen, then all subsequent hits of Zansei Rouga can be blocked as though Chipp is on the left. Zansei Rouga is not invincible on start up but it has some invincible frames after the super flash. This means that Chipp can be hit in the later active frames but it is normally safer to simply block and punish the move. Chipp will land on the opposite side from where he used Zansei Rouga and the attack will hit 5 times total. Blocking and chasing using directional inputs rather than the dash macro can prevent accidentally running away from Chipp and missing a punish. If Zansei Rouga hits, Chipp will be left close and at advantage mid-screen so be prepared to block a mix up.

Overdrives

Banki Messai

Banki MessaiGGST Chipp Zanuff Banki Messai 1.pngGuardAllStartup6+1~11Recovery28Advantage-20 has some unusual properties that give it utility outside of combos. The superflashThe screen-freeze when the overdrive is activated for Banki Messai continues during Chipp's forward movement, which freezes his opponent and any spawned entities in place. This allows Chipp to move past any spawned entities between him and his opponent. It is important to remember that Chipp becomes invulnerable on frame 3, and is vulnerable again once the superflash ends. All these conditions combined with Banki Messai's low damage make this an EXTREMELY situational punish tool.

These properties are most useful in reaction to projectile overdrives such as  Leo's StahlwirbelGGST Leo Whitefang Stahl Wirbel.pngGuardAllStartup4+1RecoveryTotal 27FAdvantage+14 and  Zato's Sun VoidGGST Zato-1 Sun Void.pngGuardAllStartup11+14RecoveryAdvantage+3.

While Chipp may have many mix-up options, most of these rely on the opponent respecting his pressure. Effective use of frame traps will keep the enemy afraid and blocking which enables Chipp's mix-up game.

Note: Reversals like  Sol's Volcanic ViperGGST Sol Badguy 623X.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery18+10 LandingAdvantage-28 or parry moves like  Baiken's HiiragiGGST Baiken 236P 2.pngGuard-Startup1Recovery32Advantage- can be activated during a frame trap. Chipp must carefully consider his opponents options when leaving a gap in his offense.

Tight GapsFrame traps which target fast moves / reversal actions


Chipp has two natural frame traps which leave a 1f gap:

c.S > 6H
5K/2K > 2D

These options will catch any attempt to mash, throw, or jump out of block stun.


c.S being plus on block allows chipp to create a tight 4f gap. This link leaves a 4f gap with significant push-back causing ground throws and 3f normals to whiff. The spacing also causes most 4f normals to clash:

c.S, 2K

When c.S is meaty Chipp can be left plus enough to true-string into 2K.


Chipp can also cancel into Resshou to frame trap 5f moves.

5K/2K > 236S
5P/2P > 236S

This gap can be useful for discouraging fuzzy mashing.


5D creates a 4f gap. One unique strength of 5D is that its hitbox covers the ground in front of Chipp, letting him stuff any 6P abare during his frame trap.

c.S > 5D

It is important to note that 5D has a unique property that prevents it from trading with other attacks. Unfortunately, this means it will always lose to 4f moves despite having a 4f gap.

RRC > 6K
~236K > 22RRC ▷ 6K

From a blocked RRC, Chipp's 6K will be able to frametrap 3f buttons while begin safe to throws. It is also safe to reversals.

Large GapsFrame traps which target slower moves / delayed options


The gatling into 6H can beat 8f moves depending on the button/spacing but will always beat 9f moves:

5K/2K > 6H
5P/2P > 6H

Excellent for catching delayed options or when fishing for counter hits.


f.S link can create spacing traps and bait tech attempts on opponent's who expect a tick-throw.

5K/2K, f.S

An extremely situational option. Particularly vulnerable to low-profiles.

Manual GapsFrame traps with variable gaps according to their execution


Outside of these natural frame traps, Chipp must make use of the large cancel windows on his gatlings and specials to frame trap. These require manual timing so practice is essential to avoid getting hit by moves with fast start up such as a ground throw or  Sol's 5K.

Any delay cancel can be a frame trap but this list shows some of the most useful ones:

c.S > dl 2S > dl 2H
5K > dl 5K
236S~ dl 236S
Any Normal > dl 236S

Rekka Usage

The rekka A series of special attacks that are only available after the first one is performed. sequence is Chipp’s primary poking and pressure tool. These are negative on hit and block but have very large cancel windows which makes challenging them very scary for Chipp's opponent. The initial hit Resshou (236S)GGST Chipp Zanuff Resshou.pngGuardAllStartup13Recovery16Advantage-4 is always a mid poke with good range and is safe on block. Chipp can then use the low Rokusai (~236S)GGST Chipp Zanuff Rokusai.pngGuardLowStartup8Recovery21Advantage-6 or overhead Senshuu (~236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Senshuu.pngGuardHighStartup20Recovery20Advantage-9 option for a basic high/low mixup. The overhead option is unsafe (-9 on block), and experienced players will be able to block it on reaction. This means this option should be used sparingly, especially without meter to make it safe. The low option is less unsafe, but still punishable (-6 on block). Therefore, it is sometimes better to stop at the initial hit, and find other options to continue pressure.

  • Resshou Hitbox

    Resshou Hitbox

  • Rokusai Hitbox

    Rokusai Hitbox

  • Senshuu Hitbox

    Senshuu Hitbox

The true part of the rekka mixup is using it to threaten a throw or pressure reset. Most players will be expecting the low or high follow up after blocking the initial mid hit, and will be preparing themselves for another hit. It is during this time that Chipp will be able to run back in and restart pressure with a fast normal. Mix this in with fast or delayed followups to throw off an opponents defensive timing. If the opponent gets counter hit by delayed low follow up, Chipp can confirm immediately into a huge combo.

Chipp's pressure can be planned out like these examples:

236S > microdash f.S > 236S
236S > Run up 5K/Throw
236S > immediate 236S Fast and tight low. Confirm with RC.
236S > delay 236S Frame trap low. Confirm with RC.


Many characters across the cast can punish Rokusai (~236S) from a normal block so extra caution should be used when pressuring them. The following table shows which characters can punish Chipp:

Table of Punishes for Rokusai
Character Good Punish Weak punish w/o RC Punish
 Ky ✓ ✗ 2K > 2D
 Faust ✗ ✓ 5P
 Millia ✓ ✗ 2K > 2D
 Zato ✗ ✓ 5P/2P/2K
 Giovanna ✓ ✗ 2K > 214K
 Anji ✗ ✓ 2P
 I-No ✓ ✗ 2K > 2D
 Jack-O ✓ ✗ 2K > 2D
 Testament ✓ ✗ 2K > 2D

Chipp is able to kara-cancel Resshou for quick overheads and lows during pressure. Kara-Senshuu is quite slow compared to Chipp's other overhead options, but being able to cancel into it at any point can make it very difficult to react to.


Crouch Confirms

Chipp is able to hit confirm his rekka series on crouching opponents and combo the entire sequence Resshou~Rokusai~Senshuu. This can be done by forcing crouching with 6H but it is also a strong option from Chipp's f.S pokes. Against May, Axl, Millia, Leo, and Gio the full sequence will whiff if Resshou hits near max range. When fighting Chipp in a mirror match up, Resshou must hit even closer to avoid whiffs.

Alpha Blade Usage

The moves Alpha Blade Horizontal (236P) and Alpha Blade Diagonal (236K) are both high speed movement options and easy cross up options for Chipp to utilize. When used at a wall, they can also immediately transition into a wall run by holding 6, or holding on to the button used to input alpha blade (P or K). They should be used carefully as Chipp is not invincible when he disappears during the movement. He can be thrown or hit by any hitbox while he is phasing through his opponent. They are very safe on block however as long as you end up outside of thrown range at the end of the attack. It can be good to occasionally use it in the middle of your blockstrings for a soft knockdown (e.g. c.S > 236K). Further information regarding combos and setups can be found in the combo section and the wall run oki section.

Alpha Blade Diagonal (236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Diagonal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup27Recovery17Advantage-2 will cross up standing opponents (not in the corner) and will put Chipp immediately airborne with his air options still available. This means it is possible for Chipp to airdash in for jump-in starters such as j.H or j.2K. Although Chipp has many options from this position, some characters have anti-air options that can cover escapes or additional pressure. The corner version can also work as a DP bait because of how quickly he moves out of DP range. Outside of combos and blockstrings, it is also a fantastic meaty option as it crosses up, is mostly reversal-safe, and puts Chipp in a position to continue his offense.


Alpha Blade Horizontal (236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Horizontal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery19Advantage-4 will only cross up grounded opponents. It is the easiest option to use from a grounded normal but also very easy to escape by simply jumping or hitting Chipp during the animation. On hit, the opponent will be put into a soft knockdown state, and it is possible to get a combo off of this with PRC. In the corner, there are certain, niche situations where it is possible to get a full wallrun combo using this move. For example, if you anticipate the opponent to jump during a blockstring, it is possible to use 236[P] and start a full wallrun combo from there. Other than that, it can also be used meaty, as it crosses up and is reversal safe at most distances.


Air Alpha Blade Diagonal (j.236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Diagonal Air.pngGuardAllStartup28~41Recovery21Advantage-6 is a downward diagonal version that leads to a combo on hit. It can be difficult to land this as a cross up because of its unusual habit of whiffing at certain distances. It is also risky for mixups because of the long recovery. This is mostly used as a combo/reset tool and can also be mixed in with horizontal alpha blade to escape the corner. Some setups can be found in the Diagonal Alpha Blade Oki section.


Air Alpha Blade Horizontal (j.236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Horizontal Air.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery33Advantage- is nearly identical to the grounded version but recovers after Chipp lands. It can be used as a pseudo air dash to gain additional distance to escape the corner or go for an aerial cross up. When performed using a tiger Knee An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. Almost always abbreviated to TK. For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. (2369P) or instantly from a jump, Chipp will perform the move very low to the ground and recover faster than a grounded Alpha blade. This can give Chipp an opportunity for meterless conversions from the crossup especially in the corner. It is also very easy to get an aerial cross up if a jump-in attack is cancelled directly into this as Chipp is falling.


Purple Roman Cancel (PRC) can be combined with each version of Alpha Blade as a movement option. The initial momentum from Alpha Blade will be retained after the PRC sending Chipp flying through the air while being able to perform any airborne action. An excellent option for Chipp to force his way in or out of pressure. Using Shuriken during Alpha Blade PRC will also retain its momentum.

Gamma Blade Usage

Gamma Blade (236H)GGST Chipp Zanuff Gamma Blade.pngGuardAllStartup25~50RecoveryTotal 42Advantage+9 is Chipp’s risky pressure reset option. While it has strong advantage at +9 on block, it carries significant risk because his clone can be hit and damaged by attacks if an opponent is prepared. Reversal supers such as Ram's MortobatoGGST Ramlethal Valentine 236236S 2.pngGuardAllStartup7+2Recovery51Advantage-38 [-38] {-43} can instantly kill Chipp at near full life if it counter hits Gamma Blade. If the opponent is typically expecting a cancel into resshou, Chipp can instead cancel into gamma blade to play with his opponent’s unwillingness to mash back, and extend his pressure for longer.

  • Gamma Blade Hitbox

    Gamma Blade Hitbox

Here are some ways Chipp can use Gamma Blade as part of his pressure:

c.S > 2S > 2H > 236H
c.S > 2S > 236H
f.S > 236H
2D > 236H


It is good to mix up usage of Gamma Blade to make it somewhat unpredictable. This can be done by early cancelling (like omitting the final 2H in the second example), or by replacing Gamma Blade with Rekka pressure in blockstrings. For example, if 2H is cancelled into Gamma Blade often, then occasionally cancelling into 236S will force the opponent to stay alert, and could lead to a counterhit if the opponent is preemptively mashing on Gamma Blade. It is worth nothing that as of patch 1.18 Gamma Blade is significantly weaker on hit, so conditioning an opponent to block the move leads to better situations for Chipp.

When Gamma Blade is blocked up close Chipp can easily true-string into buttons like 5K and f.S but may risk being counter hit if he tries to run in for c.S or throw. 5K and f.S have the added benefit of high reaching hitboxes that can cover both hit and block situations. Buttons like 2K can tend to whiff on hit due to their low hitboxes causing Chipp to lose his advantage.

Gamma Blade gains new properties when PRC’d at which point, the clone becomes independent of Chipp allowing him to move freely. This allows Chipp to go for extended pressure options at relatively low risk since it is possible to react and bait the startup of pretty much any move. Furthermore, Chipp will no longer take damage if the clone is struck greatly reducing the risk. Gamma Blade can also be used as Okizeme which is discussed in the Gamma Blade Oki section.

Wall Run Usage

Like a true ninja, Chipp has the ability to run up walls. Chipp can leap from the wall to launch an attack, enabling powerful mix in the corner or he can carry his opponent up the wall for high damage combos. When facing the corner, wall runs can be initiated by:

  • Dashing into the wall by holding 6 or the Dash macro
  • Holding the inputs for Alpha Blade Horizontal(236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Horizontal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery19Advantage-4 or Alpha Blade Diagonal(236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Diagonal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup27Recovery17Advantage-2
  • 236[P] / 23[6]P
  • 236[K] / 23[6]K

At any point during a wall run Chipp can leap away by pressing 4, or drop off by pressing 2. The jump arc for these two options are different, and are often used for different purposes.

  • Dropping down with 2

    Dropping down with 2

  • Dropping down with 4

Chipp's Wall Run Moves can be viewed here


Instant Wall Run Cancel

One of the most important techniques in Chipp's arsenal is his ability to instantly cancel a wall run. This technique allows Chipp to reposition himself quickly and create a mixup opportunity. When using Alpha Blade to start a wall run holding the 2/4 during the animation will immediately cancel the wall run on the earliest possible frame.

...236[P]~[2]/[4]... Air or Ground version

...236[K]~[2]/[4]... Ground version only


This technique is used heavily in Chipp's Wall Run Resets


Wall Breaks

When going for a wall break Chipp must stay aware of his opponents health and meter as he selects his wall break option.

The following options deal optimal damage but reward the opponent with a large amount of meter. Best to use from an early splat or when the move will kill:

  • 6H when grounded
  • j.D when airborne
  • w.6H during a wall run


After a longer combo damage scaling is normally quite high. This means most of the wall break damage comes from the break itself and not the strike used to achieve the break. In these situations it may be better for Chipp to use a move that gives his opponent as little meter as possible.

The following options deal minimal damage but reward the opponent with a very small amount of meter. Best to use when an opponent has high HP or after a longer combo:

  • j.214P best choice but may be difficult land (<1% meter granted)
  • 5P when grounded
  • j.P when airborne


It may seem like a joke but Chipp's Shuriken is in fact an optimal wall break tool when attempting to deny an opponent resources. The damage difference between 6H and j.214P at the end of a combo is normally 1-2 Damage with Shuriken giving ~4% less meter.

Fighting Universal Mechanics

Dealing with Backdash

Chipp has some excellent tools to catch and punish backdash such as his 5K > 5K gatling, his 2S > 2H whiff cancel, and his extremely active Command GrabGGST Chipp Zanuff 63214S.pngGuardGround ThrowStartup27Recovery15AdvantageN/A. Chipp also has various techniques to cover backdashes including some Auto-Timed Meaty setups.


In the corner Chipp can perform an OS A shorthand for "Option Select"A situation where you perform an input and the game will "select an option" automatically depending on what the other character did. that covers back dashes with Throw while still using a confirmable string from c.S. If Chipp whiffs c.S due to a back dash, 2S will not come out and he will Throw his opponent instead:

c.S > 2S~6D > 2H > 236S

When c.S is blocked, Chipp will cancel into his normal 2S string and Throw will not come out.


Dealing with Yellow Roman Cancel
YRC Shock Wave

Yellow Roman Cancel (YRC) is a universal defensive mechanic that can be quite annoying for Chipp to deal with. A successful YRC will result in a guard crush and a chance to force an RPS on Chipp, jeopardizing his small health pool. Chipp should be alert when attacking an opponent with 50 meter, especially against someone without strong reversal options like  Chaos or  Zato. If Chipp can successfully bait and block YRC then his opponent will be left at -16 and open to a punish. Some effective ways Chipp can bait YRC include staggering low-commit moves like 2K/5K as well as using jump cancelable moves. Note that frame advantage is not as important as total duration for baiting YRC because YRC is activated in blockstun. If a YRC is baited in the air (like from a jump cancel) Chipp should preemptively activate FD in order to fast-fall and land for an earlier punish. The window to both recognize and punish a YRC is fairly tight so attempting to use moves like c.S/6H will often fail. Good punish choices are moves that reach far or have low startup such as 2H/2D/5K/f.S.

Roman Cancel Usage

Chipp's meter is very valuable in his pressure and mix leading to a high opportunity cost for Roman Cancel extensions. Lower than average damage combined with longer than average combos means that Roman Cancel extensions rarely have good reward. Chipp can normally deal similar damage in combos by using his overdrive Banki MessaiGGST Chipp Zanuff Banki Messai 1.pngGuardAllStartup6+1~11Recovery28Advantage-20 while simultaneously securing post wall break okizeme and positive bonus. Roman Cancel can be useful for converting some stray hits in neutral, but many of these can be followed up with Chipp's RekkaGGST Chipp Zanuff Resshou.pngGuardAllStartup13Recovery16Advantage-4 into Kara-Banki Messai for the same meter cost.


Common situations for Roman Cancels:

Converting far pokes like f.S
Converting Rekka hits
Starting a wall run (88RRC)
Keeping Beta Blade safe on block
Enhancing Chipp's pressure/mix (as described on this page)


Wild Assault Usage

Chipp's wild assault is extremely versatile and can combo into a wall break from anywhere on the screen. In many cases it can also completely lock out burst with the proper routing. This greatly enhances the threat of Chipp's mix, since he is almost guaranteed positive bonus from a hit. Chipp can combo into wild assault (236D) from any level 2+ move on normal hit. He can combo into charged Wild Assault (236[D]) from his 2H launcher and from level 2+ moves on counter-hit.

Notable confirms:

P/K > 6P > 236D >...
f.S/5H/6H/2D > 236D >...
c.S > 2S > 2H > 236[D] >...
CH f.S/5H/6H/2D > 236[D] >...

It can be difficult to justify comboing without Wild Assault since its cost is almost always refunded in positive bonus while also securing a strong game state for Chipp.


Wild Assault Hitstop OS

Chipp can OS his Wild Assault to auto confirm from his main neutral pokes.

f.S > 236S~[D] > ...

This sequence gives Chipp a safe follow up into his Rekka on hit/block and an auto-confirm into his charged Wild Assault on counter hit.


Wild Assault F-Shiki

When Chipp has extra meter to spend in his pressure he is able to perform a universal F-Shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. using Wild Assault's forward momentum.

c.S > 2S > 2H > 236D > 5D > 88FRRC > j.D > 9 > 66FBRC > j.H >...

This sequence secures continued pressure on block and confirms into a combo on successful hit.

...> j.D > 9 > 66FBRC > j.H > c.S > 2H > 236K >...

Full corner combo from a successful j.D hit.

...> 5D > 88FRRC > j.D > 9 > 66FBRC > j.H ▷ 2S > 2H > 236D >...

Side swap combo that breaks the opposite wall on 5D hit.


If blocked, Chipp can perform a j.H > j.D cancel to perform a quick low during his pressure.

Ref: Summit's original tweet

Blue RC Pressure

Chipp can use his 5K and c.S to jump cancel (jc) / dash cancel (DC) and activate Blue Roman Cancel during his pressure. This can be used to lock your opponent into slowdown and initiate mixups.


5K/c.S > jc > j.66BRC > j.S > 66 > j.K(1) > j.D Triple overhead from BRC slowdown

5K/c.S > sjc > 22BRC... superjump cancel set up for BRC mix

...22BRC > j.P overhead option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from j.P
...22BRC ▷ 2K low option. Slowdown enables a full BnB to link from 2K


(5K/c.S) > DC > 88FBRC > j.2K... A fast overhead setup from a blocked 5K/c.S that confirms into c.S on hit.


This same concept is also applicable from air dashes and jump-ins thanks to Chipp's triple jump.

...j.H > jc > 22BRC ▷ 2K BRC pressure from a jump-in returning Chipp to the ground

...j.H > jc > 66BRC > j.S > j.D Triple overhead BRC pressure from a jump-in

Chipp can make use of Fast BRC for extremely fast instant overhead setups. Forward-drift BRC at the lowest possible height allows Chipp to hit overhead with j.P and convert for a full combo. Chipp can still be affected by the patch 1.17 backdash bug during his running animation, which he can exploit to perform this setup more easily. These setups also have the added benefit of being DP safe when used on an opponents wake up.

44~66FBRC > j.P ▷ c.S > ... Chipp's back dash is interrupted by the forward-drift BRC keeping him extremely low to the ground

The input is extremely tricky so practice is essential to make this setup consistent. Below are some techniques using the Dash Macro (DM) button to achieve the setup.

[4]+DM > [6]+DM > RC > j.P > ... Difficult to execute but can work in almost any situation
44 > [6]+DM > RC > j.P > ... Easier version of the previous setup - Slower due to double tapping 4.
{DM} > 4~DM > RC > j.P > ... Easiest version but requires Chipp to run forward making it less flexible. Exploits the backdash bug from 1.17.
2+DM~1~4+RC > j.P > ... Alternate technique which uses a quarter circle motion (214) and exploits the input buffer system

Chipp can force whiffs using the backdash from this setup making them a viable defensive option.

F-Shiki Setups

Sometimes called "Fuzzy Overhead" or "Rising Fuzzy"

Chipp’s jump arc is very high which prevents him from landing rising attacks under most circumstances. Despite this, Chipp can exploit his air gatlings and Roman Cancel to set up an F-Shiki and create tricky openings that are extremely difficult to defend.

j.2K > 88FRRC > j.H(1) > j.D ▷ ...

Universal F-Shiki from a blocked j.2K using Fast Roman Cancel.

In the corner Chipp's 6K positions him at the correct height for a back-drift RRC set-up which has the added benefit of helping confirm a potential hit from the poke.

6K > 44~RRC... Set up for the back-drift RRC pressure

...dl j.236[P] > w.S > w.H > w.H > w.6H > w.S > w.6H > WS > w.6H On 6K hit: confirm into wall run combo. Alpha blade requires a slight delay
...66 > j.S ▷ c.S > 2S... On 6K block: true block string option
...66 > j.D ▷ c.S > 2S... On 6K block: frame trap option. 1f gap between j.D and c.S that will beat mash/throw attempts
...66 > j.K(2) ▷ c.S > 2S... On 6K block: double overhead/frame trap option. 1f gap between j.K and c.S
...66 > j.H ▷ c.S > 2S... On 6K block: safejump option. The gap between the air dash and j.H can frame trap


Once the opponent repspects the corner pressure Chipp can go for a mixups:

...66 > j.K(2) ▷ c.S > 2S... Overhead option with good reward
...66 > FD ▷ 2K > 2D... Low option utilizing FD brake to fast-fall. Gives a HKD allowing Chipp to continue pressure


Be cautious! With proper timing an opponent can back throw (4D) the low option while remaining safe to the others. This will leave Chipp cornered and at a disadvantage.

Dash Cancel Usage

Unlike many other characters, Chipp does not need to use dash cancel to keep close to his opponent during his offense. He can normally dash in after a move recovers rather than dash cancel. Chipp's primary uses for dash cancel include:

Kara Cancel Usage

As of patch 1.18 Chipp is able to make use of kara cancel A type of cancel where the beginning of an action is quickly canceled into another before the first action completes its startup.s in his offense. The most significant of these being the ability to kara cancel his rekka series into his overdrive Banki Messai (236236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Banki Messai 1.pngGuardAllStartup6+1~11Recovery28Advantage-20 for more reliable combo enders.

...236S~236K~P
...236S~236S~P

Both Rokusai (~236S)GGST Chipp Zanuff Rokusai.pngGuardLowStartup8Recovery21Advantage-6 and Senshuu (~236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Senshuu.pngGuardHighStartup20Recovery20Advantage-9 can be used to kara cancel into Banki Messai by quickly inputting P after their input and thus overwriting the previous move. This can be particularly useful for situations where Chipp cannot reach the wall to cause a wall splat or when the wall has too much health. Chipp can also use this to help him hit confirm pokes into an overdrive.

f.S > 236S~236S~236K~P


In some situations there may be too long of a delay between each input which can cause the kara to fail. This can be avoided by using the full input for Banki Messai at the end of a rekka sequence.

...236S~236236K~P
...236S~236236S~P


Kara-Zansei Rouga is also possible, but offers no obvious benefit over Banki Messai while being much more difficult to execute. It also does not combo from normal rekka confirms.

...236S~236S~632141236K~H


Kara cancels can also be used to gain extra meter before a wall break.

...2362236P

By pressing down (2) an extra time during the Banki Messai input, Chipp will kara cancel Alpha Blade Horizontal (236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Horizontal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery19Advantage-4 into the overdrive granting extra meter. This is particularly useful when Chipp is just below 50 meter.


Chipp is also able to kara cancel the startup of a Dash Cancel to change the properties of some of his moves.

(5K) > DC~236K...

Dash cancelling from a blocked button into Alpha Blade Diagonal (236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Diagonal Ground.pngGuardAllStartup27Recovery17Advantage-2 makes the cross up travel farther allowing for unique pressure and setups on hit or block.

(5K) > DC~236S...

Kara-cancelling into Resshou keeps Chipp much closer in the event of a counter-hit, allowing a link into 2S. This can be particularly useful when dealing with Faultless Defense.

Chipp can also kara-cancel the startup of his 2H into specials to extend their range. This is only possible from the 2S > 2H gatling.

2S~2H > dl 623S

This sequence extends the reach of Beta Blade allowing Chipp to true string into it from 2S. This can act as an extremely niche but optimal confirm.

c.S > 2S > 2H~36H

This sequence keeps Chipp closer during Gamma Blade for stronger pressure.

Gimmicks & Other Tech

This section is reserved for techniques that might be considered "gimmicks". These are often extremely costly for the effect they achieve, or rely heavily on an opponent's lack of knowledge. Other "non-gimmick" tech is listed here if it does not have a clear role in Chipp's offense.

Just because something is listed here does not mean it is "bad" or "useless". It is up to the player to find situations where these techniques might fit into their game plan.


Infinite Blockstring

While in Positive Bonus Chipp is able to perform a true infinite blockstring. This sequence can be useful for building RISC but is otherwise quite simple to block.

[c.S > 2S > 2H > 236S~236S > 88RRC > 66 > j.K(1) > j.D] x n


As of patch 1.18 Chipp is able to better abuse these strings by using Fast Roman Cancel (FRC) to reduce his meter usage during the string and loop them more easily.

[c.S > 2S > 2H > 236S~236S > 66FRRC] x n


Chipp can also take advantage of Gamma Blade (236H)GGST Chipp Zanuff Gamma Blade.pngGuardAllStartup25~50RecoveryTotal 42Advantage+9 to defeat an opponent attempting to use Faultless Defense (FD) or Instant Faultless Defense (IBFD) to end his pressure.

[c.S/f.S > 236S~236S > 66FRRC > 236H] x n


Using Super Jump Install (SJI) Chipp can perform similar sequences without positive bonus:

[66~c.S > SJI > 236S~236S~236K > 66FRRC > j.S > j.H] x n


Once the opponent reaches max RISC, Chipp can go for a simple high/low during the string using moves like 2KGGST Chipp Zanuff 2K.pngGuardLowStartup5Recovery8Advantage-2, 6KGGST Chipp Zanuff 6K.pngGuardHighStartup28Recovery7Advantage+2, or 5DGGST Chipp Zanuff 5D.pngGuardHighStartup20Recovery24Advantage-15 leading to an extremely damaging combo.


FRRC Instant Overhead

Chipp can Fast RRC upward to perform an instant overhead by maintaining the forward momentum from Rokusai (~236S)GGST Chipp Zanuff Rokusai.pngGuardLowStartup8Recovery21Advantage-6. This gives a true string on block and auto-confirms a combo from the rekka or overhead hit. Minimal delay between Rokusai and the FRRC is needed for the overhead connect consistently (~7f window).

c.S > 2S > 2H > 236S~236S > 88FRRC > j.H(1) > j.D ▷ c.S >...

"Meaty" Senshuu

Chipp can time his rekka overhead Senshuu (~236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Senshuu.pngGuardHighStartup20Recovery20Advantage-9 after a close range sweep to have it hit as the opponent recovers. This setup is not a true meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. and can trade with 3f buttons.

...> 2D > c.S OTG > 236S (whiff)~236K

A fast overhead gimmick that is difficult to react to and gives good reward on hit. Note that this setup does not make Senshuu any safer on block so it is extremely risky against a knowledgeable opponent.


RC Slingshot

Chipp can cancel the startup of some of his moves with Roman Cancel (RC) to preserve their momentum as a movement option. RC slingshot is not unique to Chipp, but he can apply it better than most thanks to his many fast moving specials.

j.236P > 66FPRC > j.S Example of RC slingshot using FPRC.

Notable options for RC slingshot include:

Air Alpha Blade Horizontal - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp across the screen extremely quickly. Chipp can get in on his opponent especially when used at a low height.
Air Alpha Blade Diagonal - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp downward at a steep angle. Can be useful to get in on an opponent, but most useful as an escape option when cornered.
Zansei Rouga - Cancelling early with PRC will fling Chipp upward at a shallow angle. Extremely expensive so it is best used to keep a poorly timed overdrive safe.
Air Dash - Cancelling early with FBRC will fling Chipp forward. Useful to extend the range of his jump-in attacks.

It is worth nothing that Chipp has other strong tools to navigate neutral making these very situational.


Super Jump Install

Chipp can use Super Jump Install (SJI) to change the properties of his moves. The properties of a super jump can be applied to any airborne special by cancelling a jump-cancellable special using a tiger knee An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. Almost always abbreviated to TK. For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. input. SJI can also be input by buffering a super jump before the jump-cancel window (eg 28236S / 2369S)

Resshou with SJI will change the airborne properties following Senshuu, allowing for different pressure/combo sequences.


c.S > 236S~236K > 66FRRC > j.H > Non-SJI sequence. In the corner j.H connects before landing.
c.S > 2369S~236K > 66FRRC > j.H > j.D SJI sequence. In the corner j.H > j.D connects before landing.


Chipp can also use SJI to change the properties of his wall run.

236[P]~[2] > j.H Non-SJI sequence. j.H hits once after the wall run.
2369[P]~[2] > j.H SJI sequence. j.H hits twice after the wall run.

SJI only applies the special aerial properties after a button is used.

Defense

Chipp may have the lowest life in the game but this does not mean he has poor defense! Chipp can be difficult to pressure after a knockdown due to the threat of his 9f DP: Beta Blade. Chipp also has his 5P, a lightning fast 3f jab which allows him to mash out of pressure and anti-air with little commitment. Exploiting Chipp's high jump height and multiple air options in combination with his cross up moves Alpha Blade Horizontal/Diagonal will make it difficult for an opponent to keep Chipp in the corner. All of these options synergize well with universal mechanics such as Faultless Defense, Instant Block, and Yellow Roman Cancel enabling Chipp to steal back his turn with ease and run his game plan.


Counter Pokes

Counter poking is the act of attacking preemptively for the purpose of interrupting the opponent’s actions. While Chipp excels more at running close range offense, he still has a few tools at his disposal for counter poking.

5HGGST Chipp Zanuff 5H.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery16Advantage-4 - A relatively large poke that is disjointed near the tip. This is a great tool to use against opponents with slightly disjointed attacks, or when trying to counter poke from a distance. For example, it may be useful in matchups like  Leo or  Sol, as both of these characters excel have advancing moves that they can use to get in on Chipp. This move cannot be use carelessly since 5H leaves a large hurtbox far in front of Chipp during recovery.

6PGGST Chipp Zanuff 6P.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery25Advantage-16 - An attack with frame 1 upper body invulnerability, which lets it to beat out a lot of pokes such as Ramlethal's f.SGGST Ramlethal Valentine fS.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery21Advantage-10 [-13] and also help Chipp brawl in the close range. Whiffing this move could be fatal for Chipp since it has 25f of recovery leaving him extremely vulnerable.

Anti-Airs

Thanks to his fast buttons, Chipp has access to good anti-air and air-to-air options. Out of these options, only 6P and 623S are disjointed, so it is important to time these buttons carefully.

6PGGST Chipp Zanuff 6P.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery25Advantage-16 - A good option to use against jump-in attacks, thanks to the frame 1 upper body invincibility. Has a very long recovery animation making it dangerous to whiff.

5PGGST Chipp Zanuff 5P.pngGuardAllStartup3Recovery10Advantage-2 - An extremely fast jab that allows for a combo on air hit. Since it has no invincibility, this move is good against opponents with slower jump-in buttons, or when opponents are positioning themselves in the air. The hitbox is quite small, so it may be tough to use this in every situation.

623SGGST Chipp Zanuff Beta Blade.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery23Advantage-27 - Beta Blade has full invincibility frame 1, and upper body invincibility at later frames. Does not have much horizontal range. Similar to 6P, this move will likely be fatal for Chipp if it whiffs. It is less likely to whiff if the opponent is on top of Chipp because it is so active. It is also relatively safe on air block, making it a decent option against jump-ins or when the opponent is directly above Chipp. Low reward on hit.

2HGGST Chipp Zanuff 2H.pngGuardAllStartup12Recovery24Advantage-14 - A very committal, anti-air option that leads to high reward on hit. The hitbox is not active until the later frames which can make it lose against some jump-in buttons. Best used against opponents that are re-positioning or doing empty jumps.

5HGGST Chipp Zanuff 5H.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery16Advantage-4 - A strong choice when spaced due to the disjointed hitbox. Can easily lose if the opponent attacks from high up.

6HGGST Chipp Zanuff 6H.pngGuardAllStartup17Recovery18Advantage-5 - Another committal option that can lead to high reward on counter hit. Great for preemptively catching opponents that are jumping out of pressure. Best used when spaced out properly.

j.PGGST Chipp Zanuff j.P.pngGuardHighStartup5Recovery8Advantage+2 (IAD j.PPP) - Chipp's fastest air-to-air option. A bit stubby but can convert for combo when used while rising. Great to use to catch jumps preemptively.

j.KGGST Chipp Zanuff j.K.pngGuardHighStartup6Recovery8Advantage+1 (IAD) - Chipp's largest air-to-air option. It is fast and can lead to a full combo if spaced correctly.

Air Throw (j.6/4D)GGST Chipp Zanuff Air Throw.pngGuardAir ThrowStartup2Recovery38 or Until Landing+10Advantage- - Fast, reliable option against opponents that like to jump-block or reposition with air movement.

Abare

Abare means to attack during an opponents frame advantage with the intention of interrupting their pressure. Basically, which moves should Chipp use to mash out of pressure?

5PGGST Chipp Zanuff 5P.pngGuardAllStartup3Recovery10Advantage-2 - At 3f startup, this move is the fastest normal in the game. Naturally, this makes it a fantastic option to catch opponents delaying their pressure too much. Use this when the opponent is leaving gaps, but the gaps seem small. Can combo into 6P > 236S for additional damage. Be careful, as this move will whiff if most characters are crouching.

2KGGST Chipp Zanuff 2K.pngGuardLowStartup5Recovery8Advantage-2 - Slightly slower at 5f (still extremely fast), but has better range, doesn't whiff on crouchers, and leads to a hard knockdown on hit. This move is Chipp's go-to abare button. Use it when it seems like the gaps in the opponent's strings are large enough for 2K to hit.

5KGGST Chipp Zanuff 5K.pngGuardAllStartup6Recovery8Advantage-3 - Slightly slower than 2K at 6f startup. It has better range, allowing Chipp to take back his turn after blocking a move that has greater pushback (where 2K would have whiffed). An example of this is Potemkin's Forward MegafistGGST Potemkin Mega Fist.pngGuardHighStartup25Recovery16Advantage-6. Leads to hard knockdown on hit.

2PGGST Chipp Zanuff 2P.pngGuardAllStartup5Recovery10Advantage-2 - Similar to 2K, this has a 5f startup and will hit all characters crouching. Although it has a shorter range and leads to less reward on hit, 2P gatlings into itself. This is good in uncertain situations where confirming 2K into 2D is tough, and simply ending the opponent's turn is more important. An example of this is if the opponent has very low health left, then using 2P may be a better option if it can close out the game.

623SGGST Chipp Zanuff Beta Blade.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery23Advantage-27 - Beta Blade has full invincibility frame 1, making it the safest option to use if the opponent leave gaps in their pressure. Chipp will be at a great disadvantage if it whiffs or is blocked, so take extra care when using this move. Note that Beta Blade will also lose to throws where his other normals would not.

Throw (4/6D)GGST Chipp Zanuff Ground Throw.pngGuardGround ThrowStartup2Recovery38Advantage- - Ground throws universally have 2f startup, making it even faster than Chipp's fastest button. However, throws will whiff at most ranges due to the pushback caused by blocking the opponent's strings. Therefore, it is important to Instant Block before attempting to throw the opponent during their pressure. Generally a very good option as it leads to hard knockdown, as well as possibly side-switching, placing the opponent near the corner instead.

Mobility Options

Chipp is able to triple jump, making it difficult for his opponents to anti-air or air-to-air him if he chooses to escape from pressure through multiple jumps. Combined with his other air mobility options: (j.236P)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Horizontal Air.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery33Advantage- and (j.236K)GGST Chipp Zanuff Alpha Blade Diagonal Air.pngGuardAllStartup28~41Recovery21Advantage-6, Chipp has extra options to escape his opponents in the air. Opponents that know the matchup well will be able to punish the recovery of these moves, so it is important to still be careful and not overuse these options. It is also possible to PRC to cancel the recovery of these moves to make Chipp safe.
