Overview

Guilty Gear's dedicated pixie character with great mobility and paper-thin defense. While he's without a doubt the fastest character in XX, 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.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
Easily the fastest character in the game, in both mobility and frame data Only character with a triple jump 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 High execution barrier Terrible damage output

Unique Mechanics

Triple Jump

Compared to other characters, Chipp has an extra jump.

Fast, ranged, self cancelleable poke with a moderately disjointed hitbox

   Self cancel for extended pressure setups or confirms
   Very strong for beating out other pokes or resuming pressure
   Has a late gattling > 2k/p & 5p thats set on frame 7(?) that extends into its recovery.

c.S

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
28	Mid	SR	4	1	11	+2
Pressure and combo starter/filler. By being +2 on block it is great for for frame traps or dash-in pressure. Chipp's highest damage normal that gatlings to 2D. Used in corner relaunches out of Instant Air Alpha Blade conversions (IAA).

f.S

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
26	Mid	SJR	7	1	19	-6
Long range poke that is faster than nearly any other normals at this range. The disjointed hitbox makes it a strong counter-poke. Jump cancellable, making for a very safe poke. Lacks strong conversions on its own.

5H

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
36	Mid	SJR	7	7	12	±0
5H can sometimes used in Chipp's high damage conversions as a counter-hit combo starter. Despite its hitbox not being as disjointed as Chipp's other normals, this move can beat a lot of other moves in the game.

6P

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
18*2	Mid	SJR	9	3(9)5	10	-1
Godlike Anti-Air and Counter-poke. Blows right through a good number of buttons. Good range, fast, and upper body invincible all the way through its first hitbox Leads to full combos when combo'd into 5H Confirms into 6H on counter hit Often used after c.S for hit confirms into 2D

6K

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
20	High	R	19	5	5+3L	-1
Moderately quick overhead which doesn't lead to anything on normal or counter hit without meter. Can be unsafe on hit. Throw invulnerable, could be used to bait a throw on wakeup. Chipp's hop allows him to go over some lower reaching buttons Will go over the opponent if done too close against some shorter characters

6H

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
60	Mid	SJR	17	6	15	-2
Big Blade Stab. Chipp's highest damage normal. Does good damage and allows for followups on air and grounded hit. Staggers on grounded hit allowing for Alpha blade/IAA combos Can hit characters with slow or low jumps attempting to jump out

5D

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
17	High	R	25	4	9	+1
Very slow Dust, but huge range and plus on block. Can make for a useful blockstring ender. Leads to more standardized I.dusts or Chipp's usual air combos on close hit Can get an Impossible Dust setup when hit from far away by doing a late airdash into immediate j.K

2P

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
6	Mid	CSR	4	2	7	-1
Short ranged crouching poke. Easy enough to start strings with. Disjointed enough to sometimes be reversal safe Self cancels for the sake of it

2K

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
8	Low	CSR	5	4	7	-1
Typical low poke, but self cancels for multiple attempts. Quick startup for a low Self cancel can tag people attempting to upback or not get caught on crouching hit Enlarges Chipp's hurtbox pretty badly

2S

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
28	Mid	SR	7	4	11	-1
Strong ranged poke rivaling f.S. Equally short recovery for a ranged poke compared to 5H Good hitbox, will beat a lot of other poke attempts

2H

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
34	Mid	SR	7	9	18	-8
Primary (re)launch tool. A Workable Anti-air. Launches the opponent up high on hit Not jump cancellable. Requires a jump install for a full conversion when combo'd into

2D

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
26	Low	SR	9	2	18	-8
Pretty good range for a sweep, but is plagued by having few normals that gatling into it. Moves Chipp forward and is slightly disjointed at the foot Gives Chipp plenty of time to set up an oki mixup

j.P

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
8	High, Air	CSR	5	4	4	-
Basic, fairly reliable air jab. Tied with j.K for Chipp's fastest air normal Used mainly in airdashes during air Alpha Blade conversions Has fairly high horizontal range, making for a usable air-to-air

Good all-around air normal. Self cancels for extended air strings.

   Chipp's best air-to-air if rising, as the first hit reaches above Chipp's head
   Second hit lowers the opponent on hit for j.D conversions or other combos
   Often self cancelled on the first hit to gain altitude on the opponent
   Used after an airdash after landing a far 5D for an Impossible Dust

j.S

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
28	High, Air	SJR	9	10	18	-
Mixup tool with a crossup hitbox. Decent damage in air combos.

j.H

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
26*2	High, Air	SR	8	6,6	26	-
Two-hit jump-in which, when used from Chipp's FDC leads to his good mixup game. Primary okizeme tool. Can work as a jump-in when pressure is already established. Acts as a crossup mainly out of FDC setups Generally used at the end of high air combos (sometimes into Beta Blade)

j.D

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
40	High, Air	SR	6	8	18+5L	-
One of Chipp's most oppressive normals. Aided by Weebspeak. Massive, completely disjointed hitbox. Very strong jump-in Tends to knock down or lead to it when close enough to the ground Extremely fast for its damage and size

Universal Mechanics

Ground Throw

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
55	Throw: 36 Pixels	-	-	-	-	-
Normal grab that unfortunately doesn't leave much time to go for much oki outside of a meaty. Still an important tool in his offense.

Air Throw

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
55	Throw: 110 Pixels	-	-	-	-	-
Average airthrow which scores a knockdown. Gives ample time for oki. Puts the opponent opposite the side of which the throw was input Can be followed up with Gamma Blade, but the oki is generally preferable

Dead Angle Attack

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv.
25	All	R	11	5	15	-6
Average Dead Angle Can be combo'd off of normal hit near the corner
