Overview

Guilty Gear's dedicated pixie character with great mobility and paper-thin defense. While he's without a doubt the fastest character in Xrd, Chipp's execution might be the hardest in the game, as many of his basic conversion combos require jump installs etc. His tools are fast and generally great, but his poor defense means that only a couple of mistakes will spell his doom.

 Chipp Zanuff  Chipp Zanuff fulfills the role of a well rounded character with a low barrier to entry.

Pros

Cons

• Easily the fastest character in the game, in both mobility and frame data
• Has one extra jump, letting him triple jump and jump after an airdash
• Teleport YRCs allow for punishes almost anywhere on screen
• Possible to adopt both runaway and rushdown styles of play if necessary

• Paper-thin defense, takes the most damage in the game
• Scoring a knockdown usually needs combos with specific conditions (close-range or crouch-hit)
• Ground mixups somewhat lacking, overheads are sub-par
• Poor backdash
• High execution barrier to master

Compared to other characters, Chipp has an extra jump.

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Chipp's fastest normal Whiffs against crouching opponents, except Potemkin (and possibly Bedman) Mostly used in juggle combos after 2D > 236S Can also be used as an emergency anti-air because of its upwards angle and startup, but is very bad when it trades

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Excellent range and speed, very good for zoning and after dash-ins. Is essentially the higher recovery, higher-hitting brother of 2S. Loses or completely whiffs against specific lows, such as Sol's 2D No way to chain into 2D, so comitting to an f.S usually means forfeiting knockdown

Invuln Mostly a combo-tool and blockstring ender (canceled into rekka or teleport) Has more startup than in earlier Guilty Gears and is therefore less useful as a poke Can be used as a makeshift anti-air in very specific situations, such as against Venom's Mad Struggle, since a trade will greatly benefit Chipp Can link into 2D on counter hit Full air combo possible on air counter hit, and combos into 5D on counter hit

Invuln Since this is Chipp's fastest low hit, it is a common starter for strings Somewhat hard to use as okizeme because of its range (risk of getting thrown, can't catch backdashes) and short active time, but needed nonetheless.

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln In many matchups, an essential button to use on the approach, or to stuff moves. Hits low profile buttons where f.S would whiff, and with significantly less recovery, but cannot hit some air maneuvers that f.S would hit. Staggers on counter-hit, making it a good option as a dash-in attack and for frame traps. Chipp's hurtbox is exposed before the attack lands, so there can be some risk associated there.

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Works well as an anti-air because of the high vertical range (hits them early) and the added reliability in trades (high attack level and good counter hit property), less so because of its actual hit box Floats on normal hit Followup-Combo only possible on counter hit or by cancelling into 22S teleport If it is used at the end of a block-string or stand-alone, it should be cancelled into 22P or delay cancelled into 2D to make it safe.

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Has two hits. The first hit has a great upwards-angle and is very useful as an anti-air / air-to-air. The second hit pulls the enemy downwards, which is used mostly in specific knockdown combos Be careful - should the first hit of j.K whiff, the second hit will activate regardless, which means that if you fail your air-to-air attempt, you might not be able to act for a while.

Invuln Slightly bounces Chipp upwards when used, which can be both a blessing and a curse Has a great crossup hitbox, but is hard to use because of the bounce Almost exclusively used in many combos and a few blockstrings (such as iad.j.K(1),j.K(1),j.S,J.HS(2), land...) Sometimes useful as okizeme, such as IAD high/ low mixup after air alpha or alpha plus knockdown, after H teleport, or in the corner "beyblade" mixup

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Very fast and has a very strong hitbox, which makes this normal especially useful to punish air-throw attempts or sloppy anti-airs Just as useful in combos, since it causes plummet / knockdown midscreen and wall bounce in the corner Floor Slide on Counter Hit - long floor slide on ground counter hit, very short floor slide on air counter hit Since it has some landing recovery, be very careful when using it from too high up in the air - if your opponent instant blocks, you might get thrown when you land.

Invuln Used mostly as an anti-air and against specific attacks where upper body invulnerability is needed (such as Sol's Riot Stamp) Goes under quite a few fireballs from frame 1. Horribly long total duration and recovery make this move extremely risky - be very careful when to use it, especially when attempting an anti-air Chains into 6H, but only combos into it on Counter Hit

Invuln Overhead, unthrowable as long as Chipp is airborne Chains from c.S Comboing off of this only works as a meaty and against crouching opponents, or with a Roman Cancel Should not be used point blank, as opponents can easily ground throw you after the hit Airborne state and attack level 1 make this a very risky choice, additionally to the bad risk-reward it offers to begin with - if you eat an airborne counter hit if your opponent mashes, you will eat a lot of damage

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Causes stagger on ground hit Causes ground bounce on air hit High damage and great in juggles, if you can land it, since it offers a free combo afterwards (run up c.S or 5P, air combo) Against Standing opponents, this combos into Alpha Blade, and depending on the range also into an alpha blade very low to the ground (2369P). This can be used as a tech trap in the corner, for example after a combo into 623H started too far away from the corner > catch their recovery with 6H cancelled into 22P (to cut down the recovery), and react to a potential hit / counter hit or block. Leads into corner Blitz attack loops on air hit

This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln j.2K alters Chipp's flight path, slowing down his horizontal accelleration Mostly used for Chipp's FDC (faultless defense cancel), input: j.1[K]~[S] Multi-hit and attack level 0 make this a decent but risky okizeme tool. For example in the corner, you can use it low enough to have only one hit connect, then immediately link a 2K, which is a hard to block setup, especially when you would usually do a 2-hit j.H. This setup is risky however because it can easily be backdashed. Also, if you try to land more than one hit of j.2K and your opponent uses faultless defense, you will be pushed back so much that the last hit of j.K might whiff, which means your opponent will recover before you and will throw you.

Deletes most projectiles it comes into contact with and travels onwards. Slow Startup and very long duration make this a very risky move without YRC available. Always +5 on block, no matter how late it hits, since Chipp has a set recovery if it makes contact with the opponent On Hit, traps the opponent for a while and causes airborne state (meaning all following hits will juggle him). DUring this time, burst can be input, but will not go off for the full duration of the trap. deals full damage as an OTG hit and still causes the trap effect (although all followup hits will suffer from OTG damage reduction).

Invuln In Place 22P Forwards 22K Airborne, Front of Opponent 22S Airborne, Behind Opponent 22H 22P is very good when used either in blockstrings (as a frame trap), for example after HS or 2D, or when used as a bait (to fake out 22K or 22H teleports and keep your opponent on edge) It is a strong strategy to cancel the recovery of 22K teleport with YRC. The added slowdown should give you enough time to start a combo, apply pressure or go for an air throw 22S/22H teleports enable combos after 2H, 22H is useful when 2H hits when farther away from the opponent and allows you to do midscreen air combos that wouldn't have connected by using 22S 22S version will maintain dash momentum; for this reason, it has some use as a jump in Both the S and H versions of the teleport cause Chipp to fall a set distance towards the side opposite the one Chipp appears on (roughly, but not technically, towards the opponent), the only exception being if 22H is used in reach of wallcling. In this instance, Chipp falls straight downward. Because Chipp falls slightly forward, this means when 22H teleport is used at a long range, Chipp will fall onto to the other side of the opponent from where he appears, rather than behind as usual. This affects certain corner oki setups, but the forward momentum can be stopped using FDC. 22H teleport can be cancelled into wall cling If used predictably, all teleports can be heavily punished Can install an airdash (super jump install) to air versions in neutral with a fast 228 input If landing recovery from a jump is cancelled into an air teleport, you can use whatever air options you would have had left.

ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Can be used Stand-alone or during Chipp's Rekka series (but not after 236K) Wall Sticks on air-hit does NOT launch on ground hit free air movement after the recovery of the move ends combos after 2D > 236S Knocks back on counter-hit Relatively little use outside of combos or a risky frametrap after Rokusai (will be punished by airthrow on block)

Shuriken

Shuriken j.214P Always remember which version is gonna come out

Version Damage GuardHow this attack can be blocked. StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame. ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Slow Fast alternates between a slow and a fast version, with the slow version coming first slow version freezes chipp in place during the throw and has very long recovery an interesting setup for the slow version is to use it after a low altitude j.D combo ender. Cancel the j.D into slow shuriken, land and continue pressure on waking up opponent, who now has to block the shuriken. fast version does NOT alter chipp's momentum, which makes its usage different than in older guilty gears - now you would rather throw a fast shuriken during a jump's ascent to make it go further mostly used for pressure and to cover your approach, especially useful against characters that have a hard time dodging it, such as potemkin

Wall Cling

Wall Cling Near Wall > 64 Ninja. Followups listed. Green for ground throw, Brown for air throw

Version Damage GuardHow this attack can be blocked. StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame. ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Up and Down Movement Wall Cling > 8 or 2 Horizontal Movement Wall Cling > 6 or 3 or 9 Horizontal Movement Wall Cling > 4 Alpha Blade Wall Cling > P Kunai Wall Cling > K Ground Genrouzan Wall Cling > S Air Genrouzan Wall Cling > S The wall cling generally is used for corner Okizeme as well as runaway tactics. many special moves that leave chipp airborne can be cancelled into the wall cling, such as genrouzan (63214S), air alpha blade (j.236P) or 22S teleport. Chipp retains all movement options he had before a wall cling, meaning that you can still airdash, double- or triple jump if you let go of the wall or use one of the wall-dashes (9 or 6/3) The Kunais (K) are a very good keepaway tool while wall clinging, and will force your opponent to either wait or jump at you, which will both give you time to let go off the wall and act in whatever way is necessary. letting go off the wall (4) enables you to corner-crossup your opponent with j.H a mixup to this is to 3/6dash off the wall and immediately 2D > 236S your opponent for a very quick low hit Chipp cannot use normals or specials during the 9-dash (the far jump off the wall, horizontal angle), but he can cancel it into double / triple jump or airdash. to not get an accidental 6-dash when you want a 9-dash, input the 9-dash as "89". We have gathered here today, not to mourn the death of Wall Alpha, but to celebrate its life. There has never been a better couple between a wall and a blade. The Wall Alpha we know may be gone, but it will forever live in our hearts. I first met Wall Alpha when I picked up Guilty Gear Xrd Sign from the Steam store in 2016. Our first encounter was awesome. I remember going into the challenges section and looking at how cool alpha into alpha looked. I grinded and struggled at first to do alpha wall cling cancel wall alpha at first, but it filled me with joy to see Wall Alpha be so key in Chipp's corner oki and that it’s used on all of his corner combos. Wall Alpha was always there to get me a knockdown in the corner and add a bunch of damage to my corner bnb’s while retaining corner. Every Chipp player appreciated Wall Alpha and before every game they would dream of landing one for that corner knockdown. Wall Alpha’s best friends, HS teleport and Ryuu Yanagi, are here with us as well to pay respects to Wall Alpha. HS teleport would tell me stories of how the two would team up to blend everyone into smoothies in the corner. Ryuu Yanagi would love to do the honors of providing one of the most difficult to block mixups in the game. Wall Alpha is loved by many friends and family, and I feel that we are all equally blessed to be part of his life, as he was part of ours. I will remember Wall Alpha. You all will remember Wall Alpha. People will still talk about this special move who’s oki carried so many Chipp players to adulthood. Although Wall Alpha is gone now, we will live on with a lesson. Enjoy your specials in their wonderful lifespan before they get nerfed. Never take any special for granted. Thank you Wall Alpha. My dear friend. My best friend. Thank you and good bye.

Zansei Rouga

Zansei Rouga 632146H THE F*CK YOU SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE SH*T?!

Damage GuardHow this attack can be blocked. StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame. ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Frame Advantage is on crouching block Sol Combos off of 6H Burst version is useful as a high-risk but very powerful reversal both on wakeup and to escape pressure, if you are comfortable enough with the input to use it. Should be reserved for when the damage will be fatal. Can YRC during startup (before superflash) and it only uses 25% tension. This makes Burst ZR YRC a valid reversal strategy, as the Burst version is full invuln on frame 1. You'll even get to keep your burst. Make sure you don't try to do this against very active attacks! particularly good after 6P counter hit > 6H to kill (since supers cannot be bursted) or after a successful blitz shield, since supers cannot be reverse-blitzed can be YRCd before the first hit after superflash in case you screwed up / want to pretend you're endou can be used for a gimmicky crossup on most knockdowns. Arguably more powerful near the corner as the opponent may have a bit less time to react. Not advisable in practice for obvious reasons.

Ryuu Yanagi

Ryuu Yanagi j.214214K Ninja Daggers!

Damage GuardHow this attack can be blocked. StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame. ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln causes ground bounce and knockdown, depending on how it hits your opponent, which turns it into a good air combo finisher. On the ground, the combo can be followed up with S > HS > 236236K for a high damage, high number of hit 100% tension combo, which is usually a bad choice since it fills up burst and is generally a meter waste, but in case your opponent has low HP, the way guts / damage reduction on low hp works plus the fact that you cannot burst supers will tip the scales, turning this combo into a great way to finish a round. Since it travels slowly and Chipp retains all air options after using it, it is a potent okizeme option that can offer different 50/50's that are obscured by the kunai sparks, but keep in mind that all kunais will disappear if chipp is hit, so use it with caution.

Banki Mesai

RecoveryThe number of frames after a move's active frames during which the character cannot act assuming the move is not canceled. On-BlockThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. Invuln Startup depends on distance / Whiff Total 49 The two Beta Blades at the end now will only trigger when the move actually hits, unlike in earlier Guilty Gears Still a very unsafe move on block, since your opponent can block with faultless defense to make most of your hits whiff, giving him even more time to punish The most common way to use this move is to combo into it to kill your opponent if he still has burst and low HP, such as after a 5H hit or high Wall Alpha combo.
