Alex doesn’t beat Cammy. You can’t go button for button with Alex. You have to play dirty. Mixing up dive kicks with buttons and the such. Buffered cr. MK to deal with elbows (st. LP works too).
It’s operation get Alex into the corner and then just pummel him. If he uses V-Reversal, he just did you a favor.
As for his pressure, almost always take the command grab over the CH combo.
It’s 5.5/4.5 Cammy. At the very worst, it’s even,
If league is your measuring stick, I’m diamond.
Honestly I just need to bait with shimmies I think. I never do. That might have been a “salty” post. I want that platinum but I’m almost down to super gold eaugh I get pretty mad
Really now? Late cancellable frames?
Its 1f easier than crMK. Its still not possible to confirm without context (seeing the startup of a move or something).
I was ultra plat but I think I went down to s.plat before I took a break
s HP isn’t easy to hit confirm on its own of course but it definitely is. Similar to c LP, c LP, SA hit confirmation, you need to be in the zone.
Looks like the good Cammys at CanadaCup all like the s LK, c LK, s LP block string!
Daoku used c MP in interesting ways. Xiao Hai too. c MP blocked, walk towards them, c MP, c MP! The walk after c MP blocked is a throw tech bait. Then Cammy gets CH c MP, s HP, SA. They use s LK, c MP too, which seems strange since there’s a big frame gap but there must be a reasoning behind it.
Is it best to use normal jump-ins the most, divekicks being the exception? I noticed j LK being used the most out of the jumping options. I try to spam instant, low to the ground divekicks. But maybe regular jump normals are more effective?
There is 17f to hitconfirm from stHP.
There is 28f to hitconfirm crLP crLP.
How the fuck are they even comparable?
crLP crLP is easy peasy, no need to be in any zone lol
Bigger gaps are for dealing with people who delay their button presses or throw tech. That’s why Xiao Hai occassionally goes for st. LK > st. HK. He wants a CC. It’s an 8 frame gap for those who delay their defense.
It’s not a big gap, it’s a 4f gap with a medium on the other end. It’s the second best kind of frame trap against buttons in this game and just as good as any other against characters without 3f jabs.
Cammy about to be nerfed because of Xiao Hai!
What the hell should they nerf about her?
She’s the most honest character in the game and plays footsies, she is what Capcom wanted to create with this game!
Btw. there is a thread on the Chun Site,were they talk about possible buffs.
This is pretty funny in my opinion.
…and also used as a bigger gap.
I have a feeling they will nerfed her as well. She has been gettin a lot of attention lately, even my friends have been talking about how she is top 3 now.
Seriously what would they nerf at this point? Give her 800 health and stun and even more recovery on blocked specials. You have to be perfect with her. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to jump ship because of this. One mistake, one dropped combo GG.
I was partially joking about her potentially getting nerfed due to all the exposure she has been getting in tournaments lately(it has more to do with Xiao Hai and Kazunoko being extremely good players) , i personally do not think she deserves any nerfs at all though. If they nerf anything it will probably be the st.lk(making it 0 on block or have more pushback) and perhaps making the VT 3 bars(compensating with improving it in other ways) and go from there like making st.hk hit crouchers from close range ,a bit more frame advantage midscreen after a forward throw.
As a top tier character she is probably the most “honest” of the bunch, having nothing really that can be considered overly good, she just all around very solid. It’s just that you aren’t allowed to make any real mistakes.
I’ve had a friend complain too about Cammy, but probably more to do with the fact he plays characters that Cammy just steamrolls.
High chance of Season 2 tweaks to the whole cast including Cammy.
It’s only Xiao Hai, Kazunoko and Poongko don’t do nearly as well.
She’s a glass cannon. EX divekick gets anti aired all the time by normals. Regular divekick is -1 on block if it’s spaced right: bad!
Winning with Cammy is a matter of using the correct attack at the correct time. She has no cheap move. Also hit confirming a ton of times after getting in somehow, usually from the opponent not anti airing.
What? Regular divekicks can be even +3 on block.
Seriously doubt we have anything to worry about…the only thing they can tweak is st.lk and they’d have to give her something good to make up for it. She’s just super honest as was stated earlier. She’s good but because of her low health and the fact that she can be easily stunned any character can dominate her. Not to mention she isn’t like the other characters in that she gets a comeback mechanic…cammy pretty much has to dominate or keep the round even to take the match. She doesn’t have the type of trigger that alex, chun, balrog, ibuki, ect… have that can turn it a around in a few seconds. Its more of a close out the round for this bit of extra damage or even the odss type of tool. The only other thing they can adjust is her walkspeed as she mainly wins off of her walkspeed, she has good normals but its only because she has the walkspeed that she can enforce them. Plus no one really lists her as top three or I haven’t seen any one complain that shes op. If they do nerf her though…the other top tiers will have no one to keep them in check as she is the natural counter to a lot of the other best chars.
Cammy was named a lot as Top 3.
First by a bunch of japanese Pros who said Cammy,Ryu and Chun are Top 3 (Daigo,Mago,Fuudo,Sako)
Then later by Pr Rog
People sleeped on Cammy,because “oh she has no overhead she can’t open people up!” or the glorious way to beat her. No seriously this is what people said in the Steamforums on how to beat Cammy:
Hold downback,tech and anti-air everything!
That only works against Cammy! You can’t beat any other character this way!! Jeez,people are stupid.
Back to the topic, why would they nerf Cammy?
Cammy is what Capcom wanted to achive with this game, she’s an honest footsies character,with strong offence. She relies heavaly on fundamentals.
Heck I say she relies more on fundamentals in this game,then Ryu does.
I can’t see something they could nerf her,without turning her into something she isn’t supposed to be.
The only changes I want for season 2 are:
-Airthrow!!!
-V-Trigger gets a visuell effect,such as green lightnings on her legs.
-A second CC or st.hk to hit crouchers up close.
