Cammy General Discussion: To Bee or not to Bee

Wow the fossiles from the SFIV Cammy Threads have awaken.

Would explain why the cr.mk whiffs so often, I aim between their legs now. The cr.mk seems to work on full range against Rashid and Dhalsim.

I think I’m done for now, I don’t know how often I did back+mp today,it’s so annoying to fight Flowchart. Reminds me why I never play rankeds in IV.

cr.forward hits Rashid at max range depending on his IDLE animation, it’s just silly at this point. Set him to stand, whiff your low forward repeatedly and eventually it will hit… without anyone moving.

Capcom definitely have a lot of work 2 do between now and Feb whether they get it all done remains 2 be seen

I wish cammy’s hooligan cancel had a shorter animation and recovered faster. That way it could work as a better mix up allowing you to go for more pressure

Edit : The combo from CH st hk is : 6hk > cr mp > spiral

Is there a reason to use f.HK outside of CC?

Meaty-ing your opponent to stop jab mash/throw on wakeup

I feel like throws are beating me when I use it meaty, I’ll work on the timing I guess.

after 9 hours of playing without a break I was too tired and
Cammy rekt me today
I was not able to react to anything anymore but Im still playing right now lol

This will probably be me today. 7 hrs to go :stuck_out_tongue:

The timing is quite specific u just gotta work on it. I imagine it will b a lot easier offline

Can’t it whiff if opp crouches? Not sure exactly how crouching works on wakeup, but I know it’s clean whiffed a crouching Bison a number of times, so it seems a little unreliable to throw out there.

I think I had the first hit of it whiff right next to a crouching Laura yesterday. Can’t test or check since I don’t have access to the beta today :confused:

I’ve been going over some of the replays of some of the highest ranked Cammy players atm (I know it’s not the best way to go about it but it is something though)
Now all I could find were Cammy vs Ryu, Zangief and Nash replays once you looked at the higher ranks (guess those are the only characters being played atm lol)

After going over a good amount of replays I’ve seen f.HK used maybe twice and out of those 2 i’m fairly convinced he meant to press punch instead of kick since it made him drop his combo.
Another thing that stood out to me was the insane rushdown style all of these players had lol.
This was like watching Relento go HAM o.o

I think Cammy’s buttons are overrated. Other characters have normals just as good as her and they can use them to cancel into specials that are safe or they have specials they can just throw out in neutral and it beats her normals.

After watching Alioune,started to use cr.hp a bit more. it can be used as a situational anti air and a good poke. While she has some good buttons,some characters just poop on her buttons.

Safe specials,that are - on block and put you straight into Cammys face. If someone is realy that stupid to give Cammy a free ticket in,he deserves what will happen afterwards.

So far I had no special that beat a st.mk outside of Nashs Sommersaults,but that was my slow a… butt.

Hm I played UM_Tyrant(Bison). He had like 3500LP.
I use the f+hk as meaty and they work pretty well.
Cammy got everything she needs and her normals are really good. I’m overall happy with her, just sad that we didn’t had the buffs LPN twitterd.

Yeah cr hp is a good button that I was ignoring as well. Wish it was still cc :confused:

Also cammy against opponents that block all day sucks. I want something more from her when it comes to mix ups. All i do is dash up grab and that’s not really that satisfying

I suppose the same could be said for everyone, but Cammy would benefit greatly with more hit stun on normals

cr.HP xx V-trigger is great, IIRC it leads to cr.MK xx Drill at max range

s.FP seems to be a fantastic button as well. I’ve won quite a few founds by just pressing s.FP in neutral then activating v-trigger to combo and close out the round.
also, I’ve been able to easily confirm v-skill to super so for long range max damage punish we can do that
