Special attacks

Move name	Input	Description
Alpha Blade (Horizontal)	236P (Air OK)	Chipp lunges forward while vanishing. This move is a cross-up as he moves behind his opponent making this a good move to use to open up your opponent.
Alpha Blade (Vertical)	236K (Air OK)	Chipp lunges up and diagonally while vanishing. This move is an overhead cross-up, making it good for catching a crouch-blocking opponent off-guard.
Beta Blade	623S (Air OK)	Chipp’s dragon punch. This move is invincible on startup. However, it cannot be Roman Canceled out of if it whiffs. Therefore, it is a high risk maneuver.
Gamma Blade	236HS	Chipp creates a clone of himself that he sends forward as a projectile. He is at advantage on block but if the clone is hit, Chipp takes damage.
Resshou	236S	A fast lunge attack that makes a good poke. It can be followed up with its rekka moves.
Rokusai	236S during Resshou	A low follow up to Resshou. This move cannot be blocked by a standing opponent, making it the ideal rekka for a stand-blocking opponent.
Senshuu	236K during Resshou or Rokusai	An overhead follow up to Resshou. This move has a large amount of recovery. But, it will hit crouch-blocking opponents. Using Rokusai and Senshuu together is a good way for easy high-low mix-ups.
Genrouzan	63214S	Chipp’s command grab. He jumps in the air and vanishes to catch the opponent off-guard. This move has a larger range than other command grabs. However, it has a slow startup.
Shuriken	214P in mid-air	Chipp throws a shuriken diagonally to the ground. This move has less recovery if it is done closer to the ground.
Wall Run	Hold 6 while dashing near the corner	Chipp can run on the wall in the corner. He can attack during this as well.
Wall Run Attack	Any normal except D during Wall Run	Chipp can attack while wall running. This is a good way to extend air combos in the corner.
Escape	4 or 2 during Wall Run	Chipp cancels out of the wall run.
