I’m sure she says “so bogus” when she slams Gief.
“Stay focused.”
I know because I spent two weeks in a row practicing safe jump setups. Nothing but “Stay focused” “Easy” “Stay focused” “Easy” “Stay focused” “Easy” “Stay focused” “Easy”
All. Freaking. Day.
what stuff do i need to know to play cammy efficiently at a high level trying to get a list together
Sorry for the late reply 
perfect spacing post a successful HK SA knockdown learn to position yourself similarly for different knockdowns during the match…
Ryu:
- you should use lk and EX strike
lk strike:
-
lk strike you ALWAYS land front on hit.
-
jump midway on your way up cancel into lk strike (her boot should hit his face/head)… aim for the head
-
this stuffs lp srk, hp srk and EX srk whiffs (if you time it a little lower it loses to mp srk)
-
if you aim it a hair above the head it stuffs lp srk and the rest whiff.
-
BE READY TO PUNISH! Ryu will fly to the other direction always be ready to punish with Arrow/Super/Ultra
-
this strike is safe on block
-
when it beats srk the result is an air reset
EX Strike:
-
EX strike is maad ambiguous. it could hit front land behind, hit front land front… or crossup land behind. actually theres a setup where it whiffs if Ryu stands idle yet if he press forward he blocks, if he press back, he get crossed up!
-
use same height for EX strike… the good thing is that ryu remains grounded… even if you land behind him you can combo c.hp, c.mk, mk sa
Ken:
-
same as ryu!
-
but i’d rather use mk strike and EX strike (hitting top/back of his head)
-
ken remains grounded after both strikes
-
your goal here is to stuff lp srk and force the rest to whiff, hence, using mk strike instead of lk. cause his mp srk is harder to stuff. (even tho you can stuff hp srk with lk/mk/ex strike).
-
to be safe take it a little higher then the ryu setup. so that you force mp srk to whiff. (his best srk reversal)
-
again be ready to punish.
Sagat:
-
same as ken.
-
your goal is to stuff lp uppercut and force other versions to whiff
-
use mk strike and ex.
setup after backthrow demonstration:
[media=youtube]r4pLbB9Qbk8[/media]
watch till the end (this setup works on ken to stuff his mp srk!), first TKCS is HK the second air strike is mk
yes it does work if you TKCS walk forward then combo.
however you cant followup with anything after c.hp only rarely (+corner):
[media=youtube]vvvO38xPEVA[/media]
yes the term is TKCS, grounded/low/instant Strike…
the motion is:
:qcb::uf:+:k: or :qcb::uf:+:3k: for EX
easier EX version:
:qcb::ub:+:3k:
its an important tool, you should learn it (at least before capcom omits it :tdown:)
Ah alright, think I’ll get back on later tonight and practice on these things in training before attempting to try in actual matches. Thanks for the advice.
And no worries on the late reply man. =P
While your at it, could you also briefly explain how to beat Akuma’s and Fei’s srk? Especially Fei, as he is quite troublesome to play against…
Yes! I always have a hard time against Fei’s in ranked matches (when I actually do play ranked).
Akumas cant be stuffed… (maybe its possible, but i’ve never been able to do so… IMO hes got the best dp in the game, property-wise)… you can only force it to whiff…
Fei long matchup tips:
i mentioned 2 setups after backthrow/hooligan and forward throw. (forward throw setup is silly he can escape it easily but i wont say how 
, but it stuffs all his reversals if he goes for one)
with fei long you want to strike either lk or mk (or you could use EX)… but this strike is HIGHER! you need to hit him at the back of his head (almost)… its higher than the ones you would use for ryu,ken and sagat…
record cammy to do the following:
c.mk, hk sa (or bnb c.lk, c.lp, c.lk, hk sa) then jump lk/mk/EX strike
now take any dp character and try to quick rise after the knockdown and reversal dp… see what works and what not… just to get used to the differences of height per character.
also try to autocorrect your dp (it shoudnt autocorrect no matter what you try/delay your reversal!)
Alright, thanks for the advice again. I’m gonna hop on SSFIV now and start working on this. Gonna read up the Fei matchup as well.
Does anyone of the better Cammys out there think U2 will ever become useful outside of AA or crossup defense. The only time I can get it to land is after a blocked L SA or when some random non breakable obvious distance clearing attack is being randomly thrown out. Did anyone good Cammy try it out or is it a dud compared to U1? because I keep trying to always pick U2 and Ive gotten better with it I rarely miss or get baited.
Thanks, I will certainly try these, I hate this match up…
Whats your mindset in activating it? I could use some insight in good times to use it.
I’ve never touched that ultra in my life.
when playing serious i would NEVER pick u2… never… not against Guy, Viper or Rufus/cammy… even tho its a viable ultra in these matches:
- beats BK pressure
- beats dive kicks
- beats guys elbow drop
U1 is an awesome all-round ultra…
BUT
there are 2 match ups where im seriously considering U2:
KEN
and
Zangeif
:tup:
(Ken mostly!! i can deal with Geif using U1)
Care to give a little insight on why you’d use U2 against Ken? I never really pick U2 (in any matchup since I dont know how to use it properly), always U1 for me.
Hey I remember you from XBL right now i’m working on pressuring with normals so they have to throw a normal out to stop my pressure. Unfortunately Cammys U2 cant punish Whiffed Shoryukens but Fei longs unless the placement is different. As of now Im trying to learn better footsies so I can bring the U2 into the mix. So far I can only do it in situations where the opponent just starts moving again like dive kick/crossup during a jump, after a SA or on wakeup because their movements are more noticeable to me. Also you could use it on reaction to many distance clearing moves. Try it pulling it off is amazing cant wait to pull it off in footsies atleast once thats my goal lol.
Yeah I remember you. You have good reactions and smart play. I am way slower in my reactions and could learn some things from you. Although its coming up on two weeks with Cammy so maybe after a few months I’ll be able to play smarter with her.
Yeah, if you were able to pull off U2 in footies consistently that would be great. I’m too slow for that 
you kidding right 2 weeks you pretty much owned me and ive been at it for 2 years either I suck at dittos and need to pick up at alt fast or you were meant to play Cammy.
Lol. Yeah it’ll be two weeks on Monday.
I’m only keeping count of the weeks because I need encouragement on why I suck at Dhalsim and Akuma matchups when I read they are highly in Cammy’s favor.
Haha that’s kinda funny. Thanks!
thank you much. ive found its really not hard to do with good practice… i have another question. i was watching sanford kelly play cammy. he would cannon spike ex focus dash and then cannon spike again… is it possible to link a super or an ultra at the end of that rather than the 2nd cannon spike?
edit **** …also, im wondering about combos… im just curious about what a more experienced and a really good cammy player would recommend for for different combos to use and play around with.
