Chipp Zanuff has a pretty big arc compared to most fighting game characters. From Drug Addict to White Ninja African President. As with all the ridiculous history vids this vid goes overall that in some detail + a little bit more. Likes/Shares are truly and sincerely appreciated since these vids take a lot longer to make than a normal one!
@@danielnam9026 Idk, but he was named after a band called E'nuff Z'nuff but inspired by Billy Idol.. he really is a former crack addict in the GG story.
@@JayAreAitch He assumes incorrect things about Japanese culture and uses the language incorrectly. The only legitimate thing he knows about Japan in his universe is ninjustu.
As far as Strive's plot goes, there's a few potential spots for Chipp. One of which is the revelation in the fight dialogue that Nagoryuki is familiar with Tsuyoshi.
There's something about Chipp's simplicity that's really endearing. The world is full of Chipps, trying to do the right thing in their own ways, and overcome their pasts. We just gotta keep fighting.
I really love Chipp’s story, I find it very inspirational - from being a drug addict to wanting to become a president. He’s my top 3 favorite characters right next to Sol and Ky
Honestly with all the people of political people that know and trust Chipp he could a good person to help every country. Make him like a leader in the UN or something, like the man has connections.
One of my favorite ninja characters, and one of the most fun characters in the GG cast, in both personality and playstyle. Love how much sharper Strive makes him look without actually changing much of his outfit. Now he just needs to find a weapon to surpass the Gears to solidify the Eastern Chipp Kingdom as a nucle...world power. 2024 Enough's Zanuff!!
Wow! Learning about Chipp's history made me appreciate him more as a character! It's amazing how he started from a drug addict to a weeaboo ninja and president of Africa! XD
To get the Eastern Chipp Kingdom recognized by the UN, Chipp just needs to join the UN in their annual bus trip where they reenact Lord of the Flies and eat a wild boar before being saved by, oh, let’s say Moe.
You have to admit, his story is actually sorta inspirational. Good person who was born into a bad place in life, was shown a bit of compassion by a man who saw potential in him, became one of the few people on Earth to have a decent mastery of Ki by taking his studies extremely seriously despite his lack of book smarts, has a strong moral compass and wants to protect and defend the weak and innocent against those who would take advantage of them, and proceeds to become president of his own kingdom in a belief that he can help improve their lives and combat the ugly reality the world currently is in due to being a victim of that merciless cycle. So an American former drug dealer ninja president of an African kingdom who wants to make the world a better place.
Ok so with this and Terry Bogard, we have had two of these in a week! So probably a bit until the next one. That said before the launch of Strive we might get another, and depending on what KoF news hits maybe another on that front as well who knows? Also open to just about anything as long as the character has an interesting enough story to tell!
It's a minor aspect of his character, but with how you went over his Japanophilia so much it feels like it would have been good to mention that Chipp also has the worst Japanese accent in the cast next to Jam(aside from one or two the rest speak normally). Sadly it's an aspect of his character that can't be translated into English sensibly(since he's American, presumably a native English speaker), which is too bad, because if you know Japanese the accent/bad pronunciation is pretty funny. In English he sounds like a normal dude so it's lost, but in Japanese he sounds like an idiot in a lot of lines. DIEJOEBOO(daijoubu)! That being said it's mostly included as a joke and I think he speaks pretty normally most of the time/in dialogue/story segments, just with some heavy accent peppered in for laughs I guess.
Even if you don't speak a lick of Japanese, his comically strong accent still comes through in some lines. Like Strive's "BO NO TIE-SIN", or screaming "SUSHI!" in his rekka.
@@CardboardBlueMage It's actually good enough that I didn't even realize it was intentional until I googled this video. I unintentionally was making fun of his "SUSHI" and "Alpha Brade" voice lines
jam doesn't really have an accent until xrd when daisuke decided that he's just going to be incredibly xenophobic and make her speak broken japanese/broken english in the dub
"japanese people in guilty gear are basically super heroes" bro... there is like two characters in GG that are japanese one is dancer that has magic fans and the other is a one eye, one arm samurai that is the only character in the game that cant use magic
Love this series of videos, and this one specifically has me talking about Chipp all the time to people that have never played fighting games. Chipp is just such a funny character
Thanks for doing this! It was pretty entertaining, and although I play the game after work, I don't have time to play that story mode! Chipp's backstory as well as Answers story mode are making me love this game even more!
I'm just saying, travelling to a lawless hellhole in Africa and transforming the place into a ninja clan republic after beating up all the drug warlords is an extreme chad move.
I’ll admit, I severely misjudged him as a character when I first saw him in a video of the Instant Kills from Xrd. At first I thought he was just a lame-ass weeb trying to look cool, but now that I know his story I can honestly say that I kinda respect him!
I never player a gg after x2 until very recently but I was always a fan of Chipp, he was one of my two mains. Though I love the entire class and try to play them all. I really just cannot wait until strive comes back, it's starting to feel like a dream. I loved this video and still a massive fan of Chipp and yourself, thank you Roofle.
No idea. This is the 2nd in 7 days(along with terry bogard) so prob taking a bit of a break on it for a small bit since they take so long to make. I am still struggling to make this a more established series so I am trying to focus more on characters that are "relevant" like this with strive being out soon, or Terry with the KoF 15 news. So maybe if something comes along thats pertinent enough I can make something fitting towards that. If/When I can get these as popular as a regular video, then ill gladly go back to more obscure characters/games, like the very first one with Q-Bee from darkstalkers.
I just got guilty gear strive and I chose to main Chipp not knowing any of this. This has made me even happier with my choice of crack addict ninja president.
There is a scene where if Put Kum and Him in a match. Kum will talk about how he has many but so tangled chi flow (unlike jam who has two but so perfect chi flow). He's more into Strength and Speed than grace (jam's). It makes sense because in his past he wants to avenge his master and he's full of anger. And ofc drugs
don't just beat on Dizzy for the first match... hurts ya boi here... jk, i don't care really because while I love the lore and Character of Dizzy... fighting one is so annoying. Chipp also is a character I like but hate fighting. Makes sense he used to be crak addict because he is SO GODDAMN FAST, and the whole idea of him basically being a weeb makes him so much funnier imo. Great vid and I can't wait for the next video in this series.
This dude is just inspiring. From crack addict to the fucking president of his own kingdom. Where there's will, there's a way. Gotta follow the steps of the strongest weeb in the guilty gear world if you wanna overcome obstacles in life.
well if you check the end theres a playlist, I have covered a few GG(and other franchises) chars already! There will be more to come in the future im sure, just not sure who just yet.
I would argue that chipp is stronger than you think, Daisuke himself said that Chipp is one of if not the most technically proficient fighter in the gg world. Bedmans winquote also suggests that Chipp could develop an ultra instict like skill, he even sounded a little afriad in the japanese voice acting
to put it simply describing Chipp in 3 words: Crackhead ninja president Which is why he's my favorite fighting game character ever and i main him in guilty gear lmao
i'd love to except theres 2 things 1) people will rip themselves to shreds in the comments arguing over the smallest thing 2) GG itself is in no way consistent about this. Ky can lose to nobodies yet beat Sol like he's barely trying for example.
@@ultrabendol8411 its something worth considering, although I gotta set some ground rules like "drama CD's don't count" and then I gotta rewatch everything twice over so I can head off arguments at the pass
If I recall correctly, Chipp is one of the few characters that's not the basic bitches (Sol and Ky) to be in every game. I might have forgotten something, so I might be wrong though.
Canonically Venom is full on retired. He wanted out of the business, and got out. He runs a bakery now. That said of course, the call of DLC and $$$ can bring anyone back.
These videos are really awesome, Roof, but I think you're doing a bit of a disservice not talking about the references to pop culture the Guilty Gear characters and their music have. Chipp's are HUGE for him, like maybe more than any other character-- Answer is also rolled into them, too.
I've spent the last ~17 years pronouncing the blond lightning boys name as KEE-skay. This is the first time I've ever seen someone pronounce it 'kisk' I still think I'm right on this one...

(Also with one of the stable VAs since The Missing Link)
Yes, but why is he called Chipp Zinuff instead of Chipp ZANuff?
@@danielnam9026
Idk, but he was named after a band called E'nuff Z'nuff but inspired by Billy Idol.. he really is a former crack addict in the GG story.
Chipp got that "I used to be a crack addict" health.
The real tragedy of Chipp's love of Japan is that Japan has long been wiped off the map in Guilty Gear's timeline.
Oh that happened before Chipp was even born yet. Japan not existing doesn't stop a proper japanese fanboy though
The real tradgedy is that Suck A Sage is no longer his theme
@@trsm7228 His new one is pretty great though, so I guess I can settle.
@@Y2kRito that's true
"it's funny because they're asian" - Not Chipp Zanuff
Chip living the ultimate weeb dream.
Being a ninja weeb in an anime fighting game.
Allow me to rephrase that.
a MUSCULAR weeb ninja in an anime fighting game.
Chipp was THIS close to just calling himself Hokage but didn't wanna get sued
It's a testament to Guilty Gear's character design that they managed to make an honest to God weaboo a badass.
Hey if Izrael Adesanya could do it
@@uhdudhue6549 Not sure he's really a weeaboo.

Wow! Learning about Chipp's history made me appreciate him more as a character!
It's amazing how he started from a drug addict to a weeaboo ninja and president of Africa! XD
The important question, is what happened with the Northern, Southern, and Western Chipp Kingdoms?
Perhaps thats exactly what strive is about
Nothing, Chipp is a chuu2 and just added Eastern to make it sound better lmao
Did you really think the Eastern Chipp Kingdom was his first try?
I feel like Chipp really earned that Ridiculous History title
To get the Eastern Chipp Kingdom recognized by the UN, Chipp just needs to join the UN in their annual bus trip where they reenact Lord of the Flies and eat a wild boar before being saved by, oh, let’s say Moe.
I like how in strive he's just trying to get more people in the eastern chipp kingdom
Naruto (or the GG universe equivalent) is probably required reading for the children in Chipp's nation.
You have to admit, his story is actually sorta inspirational. Good person who was born into a bad place in life, was shown a bit of compassion by a man who saw potential in him, became one of the few people on Earth to have a decent mastery of Ki by taking his studies extremely seriously despite his lack of book smarts, has a strong moral compass and wants to protect and defend the weak and innocent against those who would take advantage of them, and proceeds to become president of his own kingdom in a belief that he can help improve their lives and combat the ugly reality the world currently is in due to being a victim of that merciless cycle.

Turns out he played quite a role in Strive!
What did he do?
Thought Anji taken Chipp under his wing in his drug addict days. Huh, I guess I lived in a lie all these years.
Thanks roofle, awesome video!
The best thing about this channel is the passion and love for fighting games and their characters.
I wish Bang from Blazblue and Chipp could interact in some form. I feel they'd make good friends sharing ninja techniques and values of justice.
GUILTY GEAR X BLAZBLUE need to HAPPEN
I mean bang got the hots for litchi
I know very little about Guilty Gear lore, but I do know that there's a heroin-addict that becomes an East African President.
Very funny.
Potemkin! One of my favorite characters with an awesome backstory
The President of Weebia itself, Chipp Zanuff.
"japanese people in guilty gear are basically super heroes"
bro... there is like two characters in GG that are japanese
one is dancer that has magic fans and the other is a one eye, one arm samurai that is the only character in the game that cant use magic
First Terry and now Chipp. You are really on a role here, Roof. I already love these guys and I like them even more thanks to you!

yes yes yes! I keep asking for more guilty gear lore and I keep getting it. Won't stop commenting though until I get a full GG Lore series.
Old Chipp being belligerently ignorant to the point of becoming an African president is indeed peak fighting game lore.
Thanks for making me aware of his dank lore, I shall play him Immediately
I'm just saying, travelling to a lawless hellhole in Africa and transforming the place into a ninja clan republic after beating up all the drug warlords is an extreme chad move.
1:33-1:48 basically every anime fan ever right here.
Chipp vs G. This, I need to see.
Ah, yes. The Original Weeb.
Love this series of videos!
Same
your videos on gg are so amazing, convinced me to get the game and I'm massively enjoying it, and they're also funny. bless your soul
omg I REALLY hope this is a new series. Love this idea!
Well its a series been running for about a year now! This is the 8th entry. Check the playlist at the end of the vid!

Despite his past, he remains one Chipper guy
He's so stupid. I love him so much.
He is the president of a kingdom!
Chipp and G would get along great i feel.
Ah Chipp, been around long enough(1998) that he was a weeb before the term even existed. Daisuke somehow called that one.

Im gonna get addicted to cracc and go clean before getting ripped like Chipp. I am assumy thats *the* only way to achieve his physique
How's your progress? Are you now a president of an independent nation in south Africa as well?
My brother and I joked about Chipp being a week, turns out he's just that
I would like a departure game of just Chipp.
0:18 yo is that sheer heart attacks dad?
Chipp is a goddamn role model
It's pain to play as and against chipp
Hey man great video , could i ask if you're thinking about making one for characters such as anji mito , or zato-1 ? id really love to see either one
well if you check the end theres a playlist, I have covered a few GG(and other franchises) chars already! There will be more to come in the future im sure, just not sure who just yet.
cocaine is a hell of a drug
chipp zanuff
chips enough of your health..
When you said crack addict at the begining, I thought it was a joke cause of his play style, boy was I wrong 😂
Intro description of Chipp sounds like someone used a mad lib.
Kind of crazy 2 me how relatable some of the characters In guilty gear between chip and I-No I feel like they wrote my whole life out
If we ever get costumes for StrIVe I just hope Ky and Chipp get presidential suits
One of the best characters ever!
chipp is the greatest character in all of guilty gear holy
A drug addict to president truly one of inspiration of all time
I would argue that chipp is stronger than you think, Daisuke himself said that Chipp is one of if not the most technically proficient fighter in the gg world.

I've always been a Chipp main since the first guilty gear. Mainly cuz we share the same name lol
Chipp is definitely the funniest character in the game
to put it simply describing Chipp in 3 words: Crackhead ninja president
Which is why he's my favorite fighting game character ever and i main him in guilty gear lmao
crackhead "Weaboo" ninja president
He became the African Hokage
Do a powerlevel(lore wise) tier list for all Guilty Gear characters! I would love to watch it.
