j.2K Faultless Defense Cancel

To stop your momentum in mid air, input 1K~anybuttonexceptdust. In other words, jump hold down/back, press the kick button to star the drill kick (j.2K), then quickly, while still holding 1, press the slash, punch or hardslash buttons (slash is used most of the time on stick, punch on pad).

This will start the j.2K, but will immediately cancel it with faultless defense, which will massively slow down your momentum while jumping.

 

A proper okizeme situation where this can be used looks like this:

Combo into 2D, run, neutral (!!!) jump, j.2K FDC, falling j.HS(2).

depending on when you did the FDC and when you jumped, you will either cross your opponent up or go for a fake crossup.

The key is the neutral jump - this way, the j.2K FDC will stop the momentum completely, and not simply a bit, like if you would do a diagonal jump. A j.2K FDC off of a diagonal jump is nonetheless also quite useful and can be used in situations when the added jump distance is necessary to reach the opponent in time - for example, if you scored a knockdown from really far away and don't want to risk getting in too close before your neutral jump, which could give your opponent too much time to act.

 

Spoiler

Removed:

• 22S: removed. 22S now works like 22HS in the older Guilty Gears, and 22HS now works like 22D from GGXX Slash onwards.
• All Forcebreaks: removed. These were: Genrouzan-you (41236K > D), FB Beta Blade (623D) and FB Gamma Blade (41236D).

Normals:

• 6P: now only has one hit (used to have 2), also has a new animation. Much harder to use than before and insane disadvantage on whiff (or hit, if you don't cancel it).
• 5K: chains into 2D, like in GGXXAC onwards.
• 6K: does not slide on counter hit anymore.
• 6HS: ground bounces on air hit like in +R! Hit Stun on air hit is actually long enough to link into d.5P or d.5S©! Does not launch high enough in most cases to add iad.j.P like it was in +R.
• j.D: wall bounces very briefly if the opponent is close enough to the wall (like in reload). If the wall bounce is triggered, j.D can potentially combo into air Alpha Blade.
• j.S: now slightly changes air momentum - Chipp will hover in air right before the move hits, enabling delayed overheads and longer blockstrings off or airdashes.
• j.2K FDC cancel: still in the game as usual.

Specials:

• 22HS/22S: Chipp's air teleports can be jump installed like usual. Jump install chain > 2HS > 22HS >air combo works as usual. The back air teleport (22HS) got slower! it can be cancelled into wall cling, however.
• Alpha Plus (236P > HS): Wall Bounce on Counter Hit. Feels more like in reload.
• Throw: keeps the opponent knocked down like in GG XX Slash onwards.
• Air Throw: the opponent can still be corner crossed after Chipp's air throw like usual.
• Beta Blade (623S): 2 Hits like in Reload.
• Genrouzan (Leaf Throw): has a new motion: 63214S. Also, can be cancelled into wall cling for meterless followups. It lost most of its invulnerability but is now 2F faster (still too slow to abuse it).
• 236S > (236S >) 236K: Rekkas work as usual - combos off of 2D > Resshou (the first Rekka) work like in Guilty Gear XX Slash onwards, but the air hit stun has decreased, and following it up with HS is not possible anymore. Go for a 5P (without the dash) instead. Additionally, Resshou also does not launch on counter hit anymore.
• Shuriken: 214P: Works like usual, the slow and the fast ones alternate. However, Chipp does not freeze for a moment when he throws the fast one now and completely continues his jump momentum. This means it is much harder to land good Shuriken setups.
• New Rekka: 623HS: Chipp's new Rekka works either standalone or as the second or third hit in his Rekka Series. It is an upwards kick that wall sticks briefly if the opponent gets hit by it while airborne - against a standing opponent, it is rather useless. Chipp retains his air movement options after the move and can air dash / attack freely afterwards. If the opponent and Chipp are close to the wall when this hits, Chipp can easily followup with j.P, j.K or j.D into an air combo.
• New Move: Wall Cling (6-4): 6,4 close to corner to cling to the wall. This move can be done during the recovery of Alpha Blade, Genrouzan and Back Air Teleport as well, leading to combos.
• Wall Cling > 8/2: will move Chipp up and down.
• Wall Cling > 9: a jump off the fall horizontally. Cannot be cancelled into anything other than his air movement options.
• Wall Cling > 6/3: a dive downwards like in AC and +R. Can also not be cancelled except into air movement options.
• Wall Cling > 4: will make Chipp let go of the wall. This can potentially cross up your opponent in the corner even if he is point blank inside it.
• Wall Cling > P = Alpha Blade. The off-the-wall-Alpha has a very steep angle and combos after a regular air Alpha Blade (please note that this could also have been the Genyouzan, more information needed).
• Wall Cling > K = Kunai. The Kunais are very fast, travel in a 45 degree angle and can be used repeatedly.
• Wall Cling > S = Wall Genrouzan. The off-the-wall-Genrouzan will make Chipp jump horizontally, even if he is very high up the wall. It works like the regular Genrouzan.
• Wall Cling > HS = Genyouzan - a Genrouzan-version against airborne opponents.

Overdrives:

 

• Banki Messai (236236K) = hits more reliably now. Combos off of 2D,unlike in earlier GGs. Also, if the hits stop connecting, Chipp will stop doing the move before the beta blades at the end.
• Zanzei Rouga (632146HS)  = properties currently unknown. Chipp's cinematic overdrive.
• New Move: j.214124K: EX Chipp's Air Shuriken Super. He throws down a fan of Kunai vertically. Unlike in other Guilty Gear iterations, the kunai in Xrd are really slow and can apparently pin the enemy for a short moment. Chipp retains all air movement options after the super that he had before using it. On Air Hit, this causes knockdown after quite a lot of hits and from a very high height (more info needed).

• (2K >) S© > S(f) > HS > 236S: a basic combo that also serves as a blockstring. you will use this a lot (mostly on block) to set up rekka pressure
• (2K >) S > 6P > S© > 2D: omit as many hits as necessary. important because it leads into knockdown.
• (2K >) S© S(f) > HS 236S > 236S > RC > dash up, S© > 6P S© > 6P  > 2D: 50% Meter combo if you went for the S,S,HS chain route and want knockdown / some corner carry.
• Into Corner (2K >) S > 6P > S© > 2D > 236S > 623HS > j.D, alpha, wall cling, air alpha. Sets up chipps new corner okizeme nicely (knockdown, 22HS teleport, wall cling, 4 to let go off the wall, then early j:HS(2) for a crossup or late j.HS(1) for a fake cross).
• Into Corner (2K >) S > 6P > S© > 2D > 236S > 623HS > j.D, alpha, wall cling, 4 (let go of the wall), j.K(1),j.S, dj.K,K,K,K,S, tj.K,K,K,K... : a variation to the above combo leading into more damage but sacrificing knockdown. Good when it kills, especially if you add j.214214K at the end.
• 2K > S© > 2D > 236S > 5P (jump install) > 2HS > 22S teleport > j.P or j.K into air combo. This combo will only work when you're relatively close to your opponent, otherwise either the 5P or 2HS will whiff. This is your midscreen meterless damage option (without the 2K at the beginning, of course) - keep in mind that you sacrifice knockdown when using it.
• Corner Leaf Throw (63214S) > Wall Cling (4,6) > Wall Dive (6), \/, S© > S(f) > j.S > dj.D > alpha, wall cling, wall alpha. Basic corner leaf throw combo. look for a full list with higher damage further down this post.
• Dust, homing jump j.D,D,D,S, jump cancel S jump cancel S,HS(2),Beta Blade (623S): an example dust combo. Omit the jump cancels if it doesnt work for some reason.
• Dust, dash cancel 2HS>2HS>2HS>6HS>2369P: Revelator only. Works anywhere. The height of the instant air Alpha Blade has to be varied depending on the opponent's hitbox and weight (the combo is still somewhat easy since the timing window to connect the alpha after the 6HS is rather big).
