Chaka (チャカ Chaka) is a minor antagonist featured in Stardust Crusaders. He is an Egyptian farmer who found Anubis (アヌビス神 Anubisu-shin) in a pile of rubble and got possessed, prompting him to go battle Polnareff.

Chaka is a Weapon Stand character, focused on close range combat. While limited with his Stand Off moveset, his mobility is some of the best in the game. His stand On his movelist changes his playstyle drastically, featuring a high variety of solid normals, strong special attacks, including the signature Learning Counter which every Anubis character has, alongside a 3-part rekka style special, his mobility is just slightly worse, but still solid enough.

Overall, Chaka is a very well rounded character and one of the more honest fighters in the game. He's fairly simple to use and easy to learn, but his playstyle relies heavily on good neutral and his combos require fast input. His custom combo, while very stylish, sadly doesn't do as much damage as the other CCs and tandems in the game, and Chaka in general requires catching opponents in Stand On for it to truly shine, and his meter gain can leave a lot to be desired. That said, he's very fun and rewarding to use.

Pros	Cons
Simple to Use Extremely good Mobility in Stand OFF with arguably the best Hyper Hop in the game Really solid Jump-in Attacks and Pokes Solid set of normals that can handle most situations Very Fast and High damaging Super in Stand ON Very short crouching hurtbox in stand OFF that requires most characters to combo him differently and unoptimally Stand Crash setups allow for Very High Damage against Stand ON opponents High damage potential with UB resets against stand ON characters Has extremely potent corner damage with meterless UB resets His Stand OFF Guard Cancel allows you to convert into a Full Combo Has some of the best chains in the game, especially when spaced on block Said chains can lead to very strong okizeme, with potential 3-4 way true okizeme setups	Short Stand Gauge means he is easy to Stand Crash Lack of any sort of projectile Limited Damage against opponents in Stand OFF Even against stand on opponents, his highest damaging stand crash routes are prone to IPS Poor Meter Build Most of his go to Stand ON moves are quite punishable on Block/Pushblock Tall crouching hurtbox in stand ON Uncancellable dashes in Stand ON. Stand OFF Dashes can only be cancelled by turning Stand ON Lack of any threatening, high damaging dash pressure without spending meter Plays his own game, but his game is a lot lower in power and more honest than HFTF Sacrifices damage for okizeme and vice versa
