I've found Dashing, 5p 5p 5p 5s 5s 5hs combos alone seem to keep them pressured, at least against the people I play Against. and yeah, I've discovered that Zansei Rouga is godly against my friends who almost never block. It's really awesome because only one of them has figured out how to Burst to get out of combos, so I just dust them and whack them with K's in the air.

alright, well I was concerned if just Chipp was a harder character to use and if that might be part of it, he seems to be to me, but I always like playing Speedfreaks in games, like Scout in Team Fortress 2. I'll try to take into account your saying that advanced techniques not being useful against non-advanced characters. I did win a lot more when I just kept spamming 2D then 2S, but it felt cheap :/

So I just picked up the game about 2 weeks ago. I've spent a lot of time watching vids, reading the Dustloop guides, and practicing various combos and whatnot. I know it means peanuts compared to real players, but I can beat the comp on hard 90% of the time with Chipp. Especially because I have learned how to do FD's and IB's and whatnot, I was feeling pretty good about playing my friends earlier today (they have never played GG or many fighters at all before). They button mashed me to pieces! Do I just suck? is it just hard to compensate for the +30% damage? I mean, after a few matches, I was often dying and they would have an inch or less of health, so I don't feel so bad. It's just even with all the advanced techniques didn't feel like they were helping.
