honestly the better i get at axl
the more I think chipp is not that bad of a matchup
I'll copy and paste some tips I gave another dude earlier
Anyways, the biggest tool axl has against characters like milia and chipp are high damage conversions off of reads. Both in neutral and on their pressure. You need to save meter besides fding their cs for transport bombers/jh or jd conversions.
Against chipp in particular your best buttons in neutral are going to be 2k,5k, js, and jh without meter, and then moves like 2h, 2s, and 6k get better with meter.
As for how to play the neutral, I’d tell you the most important idea to focus on starting out is to keep keep keep moving. You can not play stationary, you need to make them misspace their pressure or put yourself into a better spot. If they jump that is your cue to MOVE. Do not stay in place for even a second, until you are at a higher level and understand the leveling a bit better. Moving like this will let you find way more free openings. If they are pressing iad jh you have time to now 5k it preemptively, if they are further up you can 2s. 5h/cs can do both of these if you get an even better situation or need to cover right above you. Then you need to convert huge. You should be getting tkbers on chipp the vast majority of rounds you win. You need that damage, full screen resetting to neutral is BAD against him. He destroys you in neutral, get good damage in where you can.
If you get caught slipping when hes in the air and are in a bad pressure situation, you can’t 2k under most of his buttons so you just have to take it. If he is approaching more on the ground, then run up 2k is great here, but make sure you apply good pressure after it. Not just always 2k 2d snail, just won’t cut it.
Also important thing is knowing their possible holes in their pressure and trying to 50/50 in those spots. Make sure you practice 74d or 96d on reaction to chipp throw. Get him to press his - on block specials.
Avoid the corner. You are going to need to fight for this. Fight with your god damn 5king life to make sure he doesn’t get you there. Once you’re in there though often times what you’ll do depends on your meter and health. If you have enough meter or are close to it, try and find gaps to fuzzy super out. Otherwise you’re just going to have to take some risks and press and it’s going to suck for you.
Few other small things you should learn is a lot of his bad crossups can be ib thrown, and you can just backdash j2k for free basically.
Anyways, don’t play too reactionary with your moves, play reactionary with your movement. You’re going to have to fight him. You do more damage than him, you just have to show him that.
