I get hit a lot with that move he does (sorry, I don't know the name) where he shoots out the spirit of himself and it grabs you. It seems like it isn't, but is it blockable? I might just be my timing or only seeing it OTG or somewhere else I can't block but I don't think I've been able to block it at all. Also, his SRK gets me a lot. I tend to play a combination of turtling and rushing, like any good Baiken ought to I'd think, but against Chipp I end up just trying to run away the whole time since I'm afraid to try to rush in cause I don't want to eat an SRK, or a spirit grab thing, or a leaf-vanish neck break move. (again, forgive my lack of the names here) Which then nets me stuck in a corner and at the best of his mercy for most of the match. I dunno, I guess I just have to try blocking more and punishing his rushes more.

I'm sorry if it was discussed previously but in all the pages I actually read (I'll confess I didn't read the whole 37 pages and I apologize, but I did read most of it) I didn't see much. I'm sure it probably isn't a tough matchup for Baiken, but I can't for the life of me beat good Chip players. Sure when I can get a hit in it takes off half his health bar, but between his mixups and ridiculously long combo chains he usually just kills me before I can hit him more than once or twice. I mean, I know my game against him would seriously get better if I would learn to reactively stuff his run-in combos, which I see coming a mile away every time but always seem unable to do anything against, but other than that anyone have any pointers?
