[Xrd] Chipp vs Ramletharl

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:45:24 +0000

Try to learn when to expect Daruo (her dashing SRK / green SRK). Rams frequently use it after S(f), since a counter - or crouch hit will combo - otherwise it won't, which means even if you get hit by S(f), you should prepare to block!
- Chipp's S(f) beats Daruo (green) at match start.
- Abuse S(f) in the ground game as well - it doesn't lead to much, but it is a vital poke in this matchup, since Ram can bridge the gap to chipp so easily with Daruo, and her S(f) is a real threat.
- Daruo leaves Ram -4 (normal version) and -1 (green version) on block, which means you have a slight advantage after blocking it. I suggest using a 5K after, because it only has 5 frames of startup and leads into 2D, and therefore knockdown.
Be very careful with your anti-air 6Ps against Ramletharl, she can often bait and punish them. Her air mobility is very high, and it is quite hard to predict when she will land, since both placing and using her swords in the air will freeze her for a moment.
Her Sword control in air also serves as an option select - if she uses her HS sword in air, she can get an option select air throw against air teleport attempts.
Ram's j.P clashes or beats Chipp's j.P, j.K and even 5P if you try and tech trap with it, which is very frustrating and limits our anti-air options even further. I suggest using 2HS for the added reliablity in trades against her light normals as well as the added range. The downside is the long recovery, which makes is another somewhat risky option. Also, do NOT use 2HS when you expect an airdash j.P - her j.P will hit you during 2HS for a counter hit, and you will be in crouching position (which means she can easily continue her combo).
Be wary of Ram's S(f). Her S(f) is her best tool against Chipp's Rekka pressure - it opens us for combos on crouch- or counter hit (on normal hits, there is a small gap between S(f) and Daruo).
- If Ram instant blocks Chipp's first rekka, she has time to stuff out Chipp's S(f) or 2D.
- If Ram blocks 236S > 236S and you backdash, she can hit you out of the backdash with Daruo.
- Chipp's 6P will get counter hit If you are too close after 236S (on block) > 6P
- Chipp's 6P beats out Ram's S(f) from far away, for example after a long block string into 2D > 236S (on block). A whiffed 6P is easily punishable, making this a risky strategy.

[Xrd] Chipp vs Potemkin

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:47:26 +0000

FAB Potemkin advice:

The Matchup is 6:4 in Chipp's favor
It's OK to play for time out / run away
to get in, concentrate on Potemkin whiffing normals, then either dash, air dash or teleport
when you jump around, do the same: wait for a whiff, then get aggressive
His general advice against Potemkin: to defend against Potemkin's Okizeme, use fuzzy backdash (instant block with 1, then 44) or fuzzy jump (instant block with 1, then quickly 71 + faultless defense)

[Xrd] Chipp vs Sol

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:46:19 +0000

Sol's 2D cleanly beats Chipp's S(f) and 5K. use 2S when you would use S(f)!
Sol's 5K beats Chipp's j.HS, which means we have to be extra careful when coming from right above, or if we are aggressive after an air recovery of ours.
Sol's 5K trades with Chipp's j.D if done right, but this can be risky since you have to use the move quite early and it has some landing recovery.
punish Sol's Riot Stamp with 6P (counter hit) > 6HS > run up, 5P (jump install), 2HS, 22S, air combo.
Sol can airdash at Chipp in an angle where his j.Ps will hit us, but our 6P will whiff. Anti-airing sol is difficult and risky, we should pick our spots reasonably (for example, use 2HS if he is coming from right above you, and go for air throws against hard to anti-air airdashes)

[Xrd] Chipp vs Slayer

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:47:46 +0000

Thou shalt not mash against Slayer. It's what he wants - his counter hits spell your doom.
That being said, there are situations where you have to mash against Slayer. I recommend 5K for its range and speed. It can frequently hit him in his poking distance, but be very catious and pick your spots (meaning obvious gaps)
Instant block helps when dealing with Slayer's pressure. Learn to instant block his S > S string,
in the corner, if you want to jump out, make sure you use FD on your way up - if you get tagged with his 6HS, which he can use specifically for this situation, you are dead. Once you are high enough up in the air, you can wall cling, then 9-Jump or dive-jump away. Once he gets weary of that, you can let go off the wall or do other shenanigans to escape.
6P is useful against Slayer's ground approaches, it can for example beat his 6HS (although that's usually not a move you should contest). 6P loses to dandy Y S, however, so be very careful when you see dandy step.
Long range Gamma Blade is your friend in this matchup (like in all other Guilty Gear iterations). The reasons are obvious: it deals very well with dandy step as well as other ground approaches like mappa, and slayer is usually not fast enough to reach you when done from far away.
as greatfernman writes, 623 or 6236 S+HS Option Select on wakeup will protect you against Helter Skelter, but also against crossup dashes, if it is a close dash and not the long variant.
speaking of Slayer's long ground dash, it is a major annoyance - be prepared for lots of your stuff to whiff unexpectedly.
Slayer has a tall hitbox, which means you can hit him earlier than other characters with your jump-ins. Abuse accordingly.
don't forget to delay your wall alpha against Slayer to make sure to hit him during combos.

[Xrd] Chipp vs Sin

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:45:55 +0000

- Sin has an excellent 6P that will beat our j.HS and trade with our j.D most of the time

[Xrd] Chipp vs Venom

Sat, 03 Jan 2015 18:09:47 +0000

- our 6P is horrible in this matchup. It loses to Venom's j.HS outright, and trades with j.P and mad struggle (or even outright loses). Try 2HS or even 5HS instead. 5HS worked exceptionally well against mad struggle in older guilty gears, but now that it is slower, it's very risky. The counter hit we get with it though is really good for us.

- Venom's 6P on the other hand works very well against j.HS and often j.D as well. Be careful with your approach.

- use alpha blade to go under stinger aim, both empty and in blockstrings. be very, very careful though - alpha will lose to carcass raid and you will eat a counter hit into a knockdown combo.

- as a match starter, Venom's 2S is tricky to beat - you can use 5K, but it doesn't lead into much, and will lose to stinger aim. I suggest jumping back more often than usual at match start.

[Xrd] Chipp vs I-No

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:43:44 +0000

if you expect a pause, low or another hover dash during her strings, 5K is a good option that works both against ground normals as well as hoverdash. 2K and 2P is not advised since hoverdash goes over it.
2D does NOT work against stroke the big tree. use 2K (ugh)
if the i-no player likes to end his blockstrings with horizontal chemical love, a well-timed alpha blade will go under it and will hit him.
reversal beta blade will often clash with i-no's j.K if she uses it during a hover dash as a meaty, so be prepared to FD-cancel during the clash.

[Xrd] Chipp vs Elphelt

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:43:11 +0000

her S(f) is very dangerous when trying to apply rekka pressure to her - if she instant blocks the first rekka she can for example beat your 2D or even teleport attempt for a counterhit > bridal express knockdown or combo.
instant block bridal express whenever you can, elphelts like to do it after a S(f) if they expect a counter hit. You can punish bridal express (depending on the range) after an instant block with your 5P (your fastest normal), 2P or S© into any combo you like.
as drBread mentioned below this post, Elphelt wakes up very slowly, so make sure to delay your okizeme or you will get thrown since you will time your j.HS too early.
if she times her jump-in (S or HS, not sure which one) very late, it will beat out your 6P, so be careful when trying to last minute anti-air her.
since chipp wakes up very slowly, he cannot act between the grenade > rifle shot into grenade explosion unblockable setup like other characters can if they instant block, except if the Elphelt delays the setup somewhat. If the Elphelt player chooses to apply the setup as fast as possible however, you can reversal backdash on wakeup > YRC. This will have the effect that the grenade will fly through you and bounce off the wall, giving you time to jump out. I haven't fullly tested all options and what happens if she delays the setup, but the backdash YRC jump out is a thing.

[Xrd] Chipp vs Ky

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:08:58 +0000

placeholder for now.

some tidbits:

- Ky's S(f) is your worst enemy. it can screw with your rekka pressure pretty well and catch you out of backdashes. in situations where you would otherwise charge in, you might have to keep your distance and watch out for this move.

- you can alpha blade under his stun edges (somewhat risky if he YRCs of course). can be extended with RC for some nice damage.

- his SRK isn't the best but likes to auto turn just often enough to get annoying during okizeme.

- instant blocking the second hit of Ky's 236K (stun dipper) will give you enough time to dash up and S© him if you are very fast. Also, Ky will get hit in crouch state, which lets you go into S > S > HS > instant air alpha blade, if you like. Keep in mind that Kys usually do not use this move on block and without meter, so you shouldn't see this happen very often.
