Alpha Blade Set Play - A Guide to Mix with Chipp Zanuff

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Hey Fellas! Season 03 threw a wrench into a ton of these. I will be making an updated vid for S03 as well as a new Gimmicks and Blockstrings video for this season!

[@kevinwillians6199]

Why hasn't this masterpiece become viral yet? From 2D oki video to this one, every Chipp guide you put out is a must watch to every Chipp main!!!

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Thank you so much Kev. Deadass appreciate the sentiment. Maybe one day. The algorithm doesn't bless me.

Floor 9 Chipp player looking to level up his gameplan, here. Not only is this incredibly well-edited, I love the subtle visual edits in Phaze's gameplay that highlight the key points without making it difficult to see. A+ video.

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

I hope this helps you man!!! And def check out Phaze. He's IMO, the best/FLASHIEST Chipp out now.

[@aliozsayn561]

I've been playing Chipp for roughly 250 hours and I am not gonna lie this video is going to help me make even fancier combos. The best thing about playing chipp is, that you always learn something new no matter how much time you spend on it.

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

His kit is ever expanding. Truly a beautiful character. He might just be the Char with the most shenanigans in this game.

This expanded my mind so much. I was already trying to figure out other ways to set up the corner 50/50 and I found a couple besides setting up double alpha blade. This video however just lays it all out for me. Incredibly well done

awesome video dude chip mains is gonna have a field day with this one

[@zz8az]

All of this was super helpful, but an especially potent "aha!" moment for me was seeing j.236P used at the end of a combo that wont quite let you meet them on the ground in the corner to wallrun cancel down on top of their wakeup

[@user-nu3gy8on5z]

I love you man. These mix ups are super insane and too many. Hopefully i can master couple of them. Keep up the great work👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@botero01]

Amazing, and here I thought maybe the developping of the meta was winding down lol, there is SO MUCH to learn and do! High level Chipp can be an absolute nightmare.

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Yeah man. The meta is constantly developing with this character. It's great. Chipp is the man. There are OTG setups that I haven't even touched on. This man's kit is completely stacked.

[@botero01]

@@CharacterCrisisTV OTG yeah, it seems like proper Chipp requires constant OTG stuff and wallrun resets. NOBODY was really doing them a couple of months ago. I´ve been using shuriken a lot more recently (never used it before) and it´s great specially to break an opponent´s balance, you know, their rythm...Anyway You could easily make videos like this one for every one of his special moves (many of his normals as well as you already did with close S) It drives me insane how people can still say Strive is a shallow game.

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

[@blabibuu]

This is pure diamond that you uploaded tysm ! I was Always lurking for phazex replays/twitter videos to dig these nasty setups and couldn't figure out all of them One thing i'm having difficulty with however is reversals and wakeup throws (and god knows how much these Leo/sol/ky mains LOVE to spam it) Is it that my timing is simply Bad ? Many Times I go for a 236p uncling in the corner into crossup j.s and my opponents simply block and throw me as soon as chipp landed After the j.s Any advice would be welcomed :3

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

For DP reversals, your leaf grab wins, every time. So if you think a sol or ky or leo is going to wake up DP toss out a command grab and that will keep them at bay. Also meaty timing slightly varies from character to character so make sure you go into training mode and practice this heavily. Due to throws being 2 frames you need to be extremely ON POINT with your timing or else they will beat you every time.

[@Avionnnn]

This is excellent. Think you can do his rekkas next?

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Thanks for watching!! I was actually going to do his Kick Mix pressure next. But maybe I can tie it win with his rekkas as well. Let me think of a script!

[@botero01]

Another thing I wanted to add: Alpha blades can actually be used to great effect in neutral. If you think of it as "drawing a line". There is a lot to be explored there I think, even before considering RC stuff.

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Absolutely. K alpha to PRC is a great way to skip neutral and get your pressure going. I was so mad, I had a ton of RC stuff I forgot to add in. I might need to make a part two for all the stuff that I left out

[@thesparrow1116]

I'm trying to do the cross up at 1:14 but can't find any guides online for it :( Whenever I try using alpha blade and holding it then letting go Chipp will run up the wall and then jump away from the opponent like the first two examples. Any way I can guarantee getting between the opponent and the wall? Any help appreciated 🙏

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

So for cross up High or low you want to hold p-alpha after you knock them down. this will send you wall-running. Immediately after you enter your p alpha animation while holding (P) - you want to then hold down. This will make Chip fall from the wallrun the first frame possible. Once you finish you can IAD back JS for the high, or just let yourself drop for the 2k low. Hope this helps. As for the same-side I suggest using JD Instead of JS

[@thesparrow1116]

@@CharacterCrisisTV Thanks so much for responding! If I may ask what is IAD? Im very new to GG Strive haha sorry

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

@@thesparrow1116 No problem! IAD means instant air dash. VERY important to all anime fighting games. Hope this helps :). ALSO, if you google fighting game glossary it will take to one of the best resources in the FG space.

[@dingohunter4114]

Im pretty new to fighting games (about 2 years ) and just curious, what is unckling? I have never seen this term before and I cant find it anywhere

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Not really a fighting game term. Moresoe refers to Chipp. Just means, the act of sticking to the wall and then the dropping from it. Its just a mechanic that chipp has in this game.

[@laegu5430]

Having trouble timing the whiffed 236K after sweep to get the meaty

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

No problem. That's my bad for not going in depth. Next time I do my best to explain. So for High, you have to slightly delay the 236k after the 2D. This will let you come in high for a meaty. For a meaty Low, you have to immediately 236k after the 2d, almost as if you're trying to combo 2d > 236k. Hope that makes sense. This will let you low on their wake up perfectly (They can back dash both options, so use this when they don't see it coming).

[@alphaclunk]

Same side high from the 4 way alphablade p uncling in the corner is difficult, any advice?

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

Yes! Go for k alpha uncling instead if you want to do same side. It is more obvious but its much easier. If you want to stick with p alpha though, then you have to immediately p alpha after you sweep them. Then as soon as you're above their head drop, wait a few frames then air dash and press Slash. It's a very tight window.

[@alphaclunk]

@@CharacterCrisisTV thank you man will do

[@alphaclunk]

@@CharacterCrisisTV I got it down now thanks man only took 5 days lol

[@CharacterCrisisTV]

@@alphaclunk I actually found a better way to get same side without any timing. Just jump dust after you push off the wall. Cool thing about this is since you face the other way you can chuck a shuriken after the blocked air dust
