Have never played a CLYW in my life, so i’m thinking of getting one, which one is better?

Pretty much any CLYW is great, so I can’t tell you which to get. The odds are high you’re going to love either one.
Your biggest problem won’t be being able to afford it, it will be obtaining it. When the release drops, they sell fast, so you need to be online with 2-3 computers running 2-3 browser sessions each and keep attacking the sales page until you get one that sticks. Use Paypal so you can pay faster than typing in a credit card.
Serious. Every time a CLYW releases these days, it’s a mad frenzy of people buying these online. It’s a crap-shoot.

I’ve played both. Chief IMO because it’s like a genesis to me 😛

the chief plays better if you ask me. but the canvas is more fun.

so the canvas has a unique feeling compared to the chief, but the chief is better?

yeah, pretty much. if you want something that plays pretty much flawlessly though, go for a chief.
But I’m a sucker for unique play. I mean some of my favourites are the jirorian, pacquaio, and noctu.

Do both play just as good as each other? Or the chief is better?

The chief is more of a competition yoyo, but they both play great.
Whenever I know something is going to sell out fast, I make sure I have my account logged in already, and that I pick one of the colours that I don’t think will be super popular.

Is it a matter of personal preference(like avalanche and sasquatch) or do they both play really differently?

well that’s just opinion. The chief I’d say is definitely more of a competition yoyo. It’s oversized that plays like a smooth floaty undersized.
