GGST ▰ Tee (#3 Ranked Chipp) vs Climbatize (TOP Ranked Johnny). High Level Gameplay 

Cowboy samurai vs Ninja politician

Johnny is sort of like Americanized Sushi Y’know?

We do a little weebery

All that's missing is the beta blade finisher

Celestial chipp here: he doesnt really *lose* any matchups, but the ones that are hardest are those who can just melt a healthbar, like sol for example. Sol can 2 touch (sometimes even tod) chipp from a lot of things, so chipp cant play risk reward like he usually would. On lower levels baiken absolutely destroys chipp b/c of hiiragi, but its an even mu once chipp understands the fight. Ik you've probly heard it before, but If ur having trouble, you have to call him out on his habits. It can be real tough in tower cuz u only get 9 rounds at most. If you can get good at reading habits, however, chipp can just fall apart. He doesnt have the health for constant call-outs like most of the other cast. Also try to learn some of his knowledge checks, like the 2k 2d iad hs safejump. I catch so many people with that one.

thanks, definitely helps to know that. i usually dodge chipps in celestial cause i know i'll get fucked up lol. gotta learn the mu eventually tho i suppose@@ryanwitt3480

​@@ryanwitt3480 would you be open to sharing your wisdom to a fellow chipp? How does the safejump work timing-wise and what other mix should i incorporate?

of course!! its been months since ive played ggst but ill do my best: the 2k->2d iad hs safejump is incredibly easy. there is no timing to it at all, just do the moves in sucession and the timing will work itself out. one thing that you do need to do is hold back while youre in the hs animation. Not holding back (blocking) while in the hs animation will allow you to get hit during the safejump. When i play, i tend to only really go for mix in the corner. Chipp midscreen mix is ok at best in higher levels. Midscreen chipp should play grappler and whiff punish. His tick throws are some of the most potent in the game, and because of his grab animation, even getting one or two can put an opponent in the corner. 5k->tickthrow honestly feels dirty at times. when i got good at the timing, it would look like the 5k animation was still playing when the grab animation started. c.s pressure is crazy, too. he has just so many options off of c.s that 80% of the time, the opponent will look for whats coming next (2s, 2h, rekka 1, etc), and not be able to parse the fact that youre about to run up grab them. Its especially potent if you get the c.s 2s frametrap down. you can work on that in the lab. just try to read your opponent. if theyre blocking a lot, go for more grabs. if theyre mashing out of pressure, go for frametraps. Anyways, once you have them in the corner, chipps mix gets good. On the dustloop wiki, theres a whole section for it. I mostly used the corner bnb into p.alpha crossup/sameside. that one depends on your timing, but at lower levels you can just go for the crossup version. it hits most of the time. once you get higher (f10+) go for the same-side as well; people will know about the mix (mostly haha). That mix in particular also works as a safejump, so dps cant get out of it. its also possible to grab out of the mix, and go for lows. lows arent safe to dp's, however, so if your opponent has a dp, its best to block it + punish at least once or twice before you start going for lows. lows also have a particularly difficult timing to continue pressure. elofather/elodad uses 2k->2d->p/k.alpha, but i havent been able to get the timing down on it. very manual. One thing that I got stuck in and kept me at about floor 8 was relying on alpha blade too much. yes, it is a crossup, and k.alpha is an overhead, but unless you are absolutely desperate to win, its best not to use them like that. look at them as movement tools that just happen to have a hitbox attached. when fighting lower level chipps, i see them overuse alpha ALL THE TIME. its such an easily punishable move, and you cannot rely on gimmics like that. absusing and relying on them will corrode your fundamentals immensly. you CAN play chipp without fundamentals, if you want to lose. i would argue good fundamentals (strike/throw/block nothing else) are more important to chipp than any other character. once i stopped using p/k.alpha so much, i flew to floor 10 in under a month and eventually into celestial. tl;dr: midscreen = grappler. corner = use mix. quit using alpha. @@yakatsusensei325

Yeah, as a character who can't dash block against Chipp in neutral and having generally bad defensive tools its probably how big bodies feel about Chipp
