Cannon Spike! The Cammy Thread

TragicHero:

Yeah I do bait the DPs but for whatever reason I can’t punish him fast enough - the recovery on lp srk is so fast that he just throws out another one and it cancels out whatever I try. the only thing i’ve had success with landing is c. mk. is there anything better to punish with that i just need to work on my timing with?

Is this online or in person? I’ve had this problem online before, for whatever reason, but in offline matches, I’ve found I have plenty of time to punish that DP.

So I’m pretty sure Ken is broken in this game. If not, he’s Cammy’s 2nd worst match up. Can’t knuckle through fireballs without perfect timing, and his SRK cancels out every single thing you have. Did no one notice this during development? I’m sorry but I think at least ONE of her 5 special moves should beat out Ken’s SRK.

I knock ken out of the air with s.mk instead of trying to hit c.mk on his lp srk recovery. Keeps him honest.

You could try:
Short Drill.
Crouching Strong (link to forward xx drill).

Honestly, it’s Ken’s Hadoken trap that I can’t figure out:
Ken throws a Jab Hado with Cammy 2/3 of the screen away and in blockstun/knockdown.
If she jumps forward or spin knuckles, he recovers in time to SRK - resetting the trap.
If she n jumps early, she falls on the Hado - resetting the trap.
If she n jumps late, he clips her with the Fierce SRK - resetting the trap.
If she jumps backward, he follows (and she still has to deal with the Hado)
If she blocks, he throws another…

Walk forward and block the Hadoken immediately before it hits you. You will eat some chip damage, but you will close that distance slowly but surely. Once you’re in range where that setup isn’t as potent, you’ve still got a million other hassles to deal with, but unfortunately that’s the most reliable way I’ve found to get in there. With Cammy, I try to resist the urge to leave the ground as much as possible.

I have no idea if that works with Cammy, but with Honda in the same situation, an empty jump-in from far enough away will often make the fierce SRK whiff. Using any air attack extends the hitboxes and gets nailed by the SRK though. Cammy’s jump is pretty damn floaty though so this might not actually work with her.

Yep, like getting hit by a lightning fast tatsu instead of a fireball that will smack you for 3 or 4 hits and probably get you dizzied ftl…

Norieaga · 2010-03-27T01:57:28.000Z

Just for reference: the ONLY way of getting in against good competition is to walk forward. Fucking Capcom, give me a good Cammy for once. They nerfed the shit out of her in SSF4 now too .

This. Although there is a sweet spot where Cammy cannot avoid blocking the Hadoken (about half screen from the corner), like Rufus said, but Cammy is far from helpless. Bulldogging is probably the best option (walking forward before blocking the Hadoken), but when you combine it with another technique, it ups the chances of breaking the trap. Bulldog the Hadoken and then reversal Cannon Drill, preferably Roundhouse. This will stuff the next Hadoken’s startup or trade with it. Another tactic is to whiff a normal before blocking the Hadoken, like st Jab or Short. This will throw off the Ken player’s reaction, and mess with his head. You could also cancel a Jab Hooligan over the Hadoken.

Cammy troubles lately?

Ughhh I’m getting so frustrated with Cammy. I’ve been trying to get good with her for a while now and it seems hopeless. I feel like she needs something extra to give her a chance against good players…

She’s all good, just keep practicing…

Or choose a character with better tools :lol:

Well, Ktm does use sim. So maybe it balances out.

SLEZZY · 2010-04-25T11:17:45.000Z

Well sure, one of her tools is almost utterly and completely useless, other than that she can compete albeit there is a little bit of an uphill battle
