Cannon Spike! The Cammy Thread

_ at the pics you posted syxx.

Anyhow, as for crossing up gief it’s something i don’t want to risk most of the time. c.:mp: c.:mk: short drill poke works best for me, i fear the 360 too much if i screw up, be it lag or just me.

I need tips on beating Fei Long players. It seems everything he does always freaking kills me. His flaming kicks makes it almost impossible to use anything but pokes and even then I eat flaming kicks…

Treat Fei like a Ken lp DP spammer. Patience and poke. After knockdown, you can do wake up meaties on him. rinse and repeat. Watch out for his meaties, don’t just spaz when he uses a meaty (c.hp, s.hp, s.hk) on you, just block that meaty and watch the move right after his meaty and either poke or use thrust kick or throw him.

See, I don’t use training mode:sweat: THe only time I’m playing the game is when I’m online. I’m onbe of those peeps who try and figure out stuff mid-match.:bluu:

As for FEi Long, also watch out for his s.lk. That move beats out all your shit! If the Fei player knows about this, your matchup geta a lot more annoying. And if ur good at reversal throws, Fei can’t do shit to you.:tup:

All shoto’s have a bullshit hitbox during hados.

Awesome, that the Cammy thread is the second or third longest non-stickied thread in this forum…

Agreed, her face is jacked up in the new, HD art. And way too much eye liner. (Was that supposed to make her look like she has a dark soul, or something?)

Funny, that Ryu is blocking her attack high in that image.

im getting lots of hate mail against my cammy lately so i guess she is doing a great job.

i like her lots but is it just me, or do u guys also often get a mk cannon drill instead of a lk drill after cr. mk? whenever i try cr. mk xx lk cannon drill i often get a mk drill which sucks… i know it has to do with the negative edge (or whatever it is called) but its so frustrating! maybe its because i changed lk to the shoulder buttons (i need this because i have to use rk lightning legs with chun, and we all know that the shoulder buttons sucks for the 360)…

but other than that i really like to use cammy. always do a cannon spike after a blocked super… it works great. hooligan roll is nice but it can easily be thrown out of (zangief and ken always do it lol… and im sure they didnt plan to airthrow me).

lk as a cross up is nice against the big chars but im not so sure against chars like ryu.

Use arcade stick? :xeye:

Re: Chunner

To avoid getting the mk drill on that, hold down the mk button after you push it, and then press the lk while the mk is held down. That will make it so that the negative edge off of the mk doesn’t come anywhere near the time that your drill starts. It’s tough to get into this habit (or at least, it was for me at first), but it will help.

and? :slight_smile:

What should cammy do against a tick-throwing ken? I kept getting stuffed by j.lk tick-throw the knee kick and it pissed me off to the point where my controller was about to take a trip across the room.

Easy-said-than-done answer is to just not get into that situation by keeping him reacting to you rather than the other way around. I know that always sounds like sort of a lousy answer to your question, but prevention really is the best solution to stuff you don’t like dealing with.

thanks!! i will try this out tonight! i hope this will help :slight_smile:

yeah i’ve ordered the te stick so i hope i will get used to sticks… ive never really played with sticks (just tried this in japan but it felt weird) so for now i only have the 360-controller.

anyway i will try to hold down the mk button. thank u!

Thanks, it was a good answer…just not as clear-cut and easy as I would have liked :sweat: but that’s cammy for ya

Anyone else have trouble landing the crossup combo on Ryu and Akuma consistently?

I’m talking about the j.lk c.mp, c.mk, hk drill combo.

I can get it on Ken every time, but I can’t get any drill to work on Ryu and the lk drill works on Akuma sometimes, but nowhere near consistent. So for those two I usually replace the drill with a hooligan or still do the lk drill for post-drill mixups.

Help:sad:

It’s hard. What you need to do is try crossup j.lk, close HP, cannon drill. You can cross them up on wakeup and use the bnb combo but they can just walk forward and throw you to avoid it. So what I try to do is take into consideration that they will walk forward to avoid it after seeing it a few times, and respace the meaty crossup j.lk.

Hey Chunner. Great games today. Fuck your Chun Li lol. Almost any normal I try to throw I get blasted back. Had some success with j.mk to counter some of Chun’s aerials but I kept eating so many Kikokens. Wish I had my fightpad. Xbox 360 controller sucks. :frowning:

Good games either way man.

Do you Cammy players suffer from Cammy Fatigue?

Let me explain. As a Cammy player, I have to come up with different strategies against different players/chars combination all the time. Once I figure out a pattern, it would be effective for a short while against good SRKer’s then they adapted to your new strategy and you will have to come up with a even newer strategy against them. I am getting a little burnt out from this. Maybe I played too much Cammy vs too many SRKers. Most Chars (Chun, Honda, Boxer, Gief, Ryu/Ken/Akuma/Sagat, DJ and Guile) have a “stable” strategies against certain char/player, so once you mastered those “stable” strategies, it worked pretty well most of the time, but with Cammy you have to mix mix mix and come up with new ones all the time because once your moves become predictable (even hooligan combos), Cammy is toast. For Cammy, every battle seem to be an uphill struggle to stay ahead of being predictable. I am usually mentally drained after a long session vs bunch of SRKers.

Just want to hear what other Cammy player’s thoughts on this.

PS: Maybe I should main Honda to counter balance my Cammy fatigue!

Ha I feel the same way and I actually play Honda as a backup when I find people that just piss over my Cammy. :sad: Like this one guy that was just tick-throwing the shit out of me with Guile. Sonic Boom, tick, German and repeat. It’s frustrating as hell because I know I can Thrust Kick that bullshit but I’m using the standard Xbox360 pad so it’s hard to get it out sometimes on demand.

But yeah I know how you feel. It frustrates me a lot against turtling Guile players. I always gotta stay innovative and try to bait out shit in order to punish them. Although I guess it does wear you down, it does make Cammy a lot more fun to use since you always gotta think of new shit. But there are times where I would just coast with Honda with Jab Headbutts, HHS and tick oicho throws [when they fucking WORK. FUCK YOU xbox360 PAD!] all day then I get so many Rage Quits.

…But I been getting some rage quits with Cammy though so that makes me smile a bit. :lovin:

I agree with you here. I have only had the game for about a week, but even so I find myself deviating from “what works” to stupid shit, becuase the repition of “what works” is so boring. I found myself rushing in on Gief today just because I did not feel like sitting back and waiting for him to come to me. I know that it pretty much gurantees that I will get SPD’ed all day long, but hell, I was bored and I just wanted to peed up the pace a little bit.

Since I main cammy, this has been happening a shit ton, but I stick with her and play the way I’m suppoed to for the most part because I love the character. When she is good, she is oh-so-good, and when she is bad, well it just hurts a lot.
