When you block a special or super move you usually still take a sliver of damage. It's tiny per hit, but on a near-empty life bar it can finish you off through your own guard.
“He's on one pixel, just throw fireballs and chip damage will close it out.”

Often just 'chip'. Some games let chip take your last bit of health; others can't kill with it. Either way, blocking isn't always free.
“I died to chip blocking the super — didn't even get hit clean.”
