Chipp Zanuff is Guilty Gear’s high speed, high offense glass cannon. He has an extremely high potential damage output but he is hampered with an extremely low health pool. This guide will give players the information they need to excel at using Chipp Zanuff in Guilty Gear Strive. The ninja is classified as a High Speed character by the game.

Upcomer’s Guilty Gear Strive character guides use numpad notation. Numpad notation is a universal form of notating fighting game inputs that is able to go past language barriers. It is based off numpads that can be found on a computer keyboard. Five is the joystick at neutral and the numbers branch out from there. For example, 236 would translate to “down, down-forward, forward” in numpad notation.
