Cammy Hatred

So tired of going around in circles with this. I’m impressed that you seem to be literate and able to form arguments, but you can’t just dismiss Olympians counter arguments by questioning it. Cammy’s uppercut is very punishable, either on whiff or block. If you aren’t familiar with how to punish it correctly, go into training mode and figure out some things, because every character can do something about it. Not really sure what the point of your other stuff is, arguing how difficult Akuma is compared to Cammy is a moot point considering that it’s an opinion.

Just for god sake, learn to fight Cammy. Stop mashing crouch techs, start learning her setups and realizing not everything is unblockable. Cammy is a great character, she deserves her place at the top of the tier list. But she isn’t some unstoppable behemoth that can only be defeated with years of meditation. God I hate this thread.

You know, i actually put in effort to pick my words carefully, but apparently no one reads closely enough for it to matter.

Go back and read my posts, I never once said that you cannot punish cammy, or that the character is unbeatable. This thread is asking why ppl hate cammy and i gave you some reasons. Yes, you can OS punish cammy’s uppercuts and focus divekicks, but the way you do those things is clearly harder than punishing sagats uppercut. This is not an opinion, its fact. At top level play, you can shut down a lot of things that cammy does, but at low/intermediate skill levels, you have a high damage character that can often beat you by challenging your execution, rather than outplaying you. Imo, thats a good explanation for why there is cammy hate

Personally i dont like the character but i also agree that balance wise shes reasonable. Top tier but not broken

Also, you guys are saying things that are simply not true. Olympian said every character can OS backjump cammys uppercut and get a full punish. Thats factually false, i gave one example and can show plenty more.

He also said ex-CS is a free focus punish when it isnt low to the ground. Thats factually false too. You can focus divekicks but it takes a read and its far from “free”

For sakura, read what i said, im talking about post shouken setups. After a throw/sweep or corner combo you can OS all of cammy’s escapes. However, after a shouken knockdown (which is very common due to cr.mk), sakura has a much weaker mixup than normal

Why would anybody OS backjump anyway? If Cammy backdashes, she’d get out for free.
I double option select block + sweep and punish any blocked Cannon spike, which is imho my best solution.

Cammy is without any doubt S tier in the game, but it does not mean that there is absolutely no solution. At least, ranting on an SRK thread is not one of them: instead of complaining, why wouldn’t one just go to the Cammy Q&A thread and ask for help? Or spend time in the training room to learn how to punish Cammy?

S tier, at least in Sirlin tiering, means “unstoppable ridiculous monster from Hell”. Think ST Akuma or something. A+ is a more appropriate place if you want to argue Cammy being above others. Usually translates into top tier character that is especially lacking in weaknesses in relation to others. From Smash-land, Meta Knight is a good example.
