How to beat cammy?

If you’re using c.mk to stuff random Spiral Arrows, then you’re playing a shitty Cammy.

basically, just pick anyone with huge damage and high priorty moves, and trade with Cammy.

This post is sort of useless but I’m testing out my new sig.

No they’re not random, they’re baited or well distanced. I have to deal with pokes mostly, The Cammys I’ve been playing are K-Groove so RCing isn’t there for them. :smiley:

Let’s see… the beat cammy thread…

Hmmm let’s see… considering this is my cammy he made the thread I might be able to help people to beat her…

  1. Rule of Thumb when fighting cammy … Don’t get knocked down… She’ll be all over your ass after the fact. That means don’t repeatedly jump in unless you plan to just defend or parry, and block low at which you are a half screen or low cannon drill length away from her I’m going to do anything to get in on you and if you do block the very end of my cannon drill don’t try to attack cause a DP is about to hit you in the face. Don’t let me get close to you this includes dive kick into standing fierce to smack you in the face for thinking about hitting me in my 0 recovery dive kick.

  2. When in the corner DO NOT I REPEAT do not try to jump out of it . Do whatever you have to but don’t jump. This means Block do a RC a CC a PSY. DP anything to get the bitch off your ass. Try not to roll as I’m expecting that after my insanely fast recovering pokes you’ll just end up in the corner again for me to either gaurd crush you or whatever I like considering I know your desperate to get out of the corner.

  3. Don’t try to jump in on me when I have super bar. CCs and Vertical Drills HURT.

  4. RC drills will punish your fireballs. As will my insane priority pokes after I have knocked you down.

5 Learn the players poke strings Everyone has one with her. Even INO had one when I played and beat him a few times in casual. I find that 90% of cammy’s will standing rh after a blocked st fierce. Thats when you Fucking Slam the Buttons and DP that shit out of there. Don’t just sit there and take it. Learn when you have frame advantages against her.

And 6: if you use a character like sagat blanka Vega(claw) or anyone that can turtle at Far ranges DO IT!! Cause keeping cammy off you is the key to winning. Make her come to you and punish her jump ins random cannondrills and such with Anti Air. and you’ll do good. But BEWARE JUST DEFENSE! And if I do start just defending your anti airs, don’t anti air try to instead throw me as soon as I hit the ground cause im expecting to JD and when I dont Im vulnerable to your throw.

Hmm Lvl 1 chunnli super into FOLLOW up= Rage in K = your death

Umm that’s about it for now if I think of anything else i’ll post.

Her bad matchups almost arent existant in K groove JD is too good K I believe is her best groove. IORI RC rekkas however are different story.

It’s impossible not to get knocked down when fighting against Cammy or against any other character for that matter. I think it’s pointless to be saying something like that. Not trying to jump out of corners too… When any character has you zoned (ie. they’re just outside attack range) and your back is to the corner, they’re waiting for you to try and jump out. All Cammy has to do is press HK and you’re stuck back down again. Jump out when they don’t expect it and they’re not ready to anti-air instead (like when they want to walk forward and hit with a low attack for example). Bison is best at this. His jump is really high. The only character I wouldn’t try to jump out of the corner against is Blanka (his j.HP is cheap). Against Cammy, I have no reservations.

I don’t like psychic DP against Cammy either. Everytime you whiff, you eat at least a s.HK (which sucks).

I think Iori RC punches are really good against Cammy. Does anybody know if Cammy can hit him for free after a JD though? I’m not the least bit scared of RC spiral arrow btw… I think that move sucks. I never do Ryu sweep xx fireball where there’s a big hole in the middle, and if Cammy tries to RC spiral arrow in footsies, then I think that Cammy player sucks. I jump straight up, she wiffs, and I get a free combo instead.

ok i have a few points that’ll make burghy proud

  1. dont put money into the machine anymore
  2. press cammy’s start button

Sexy.

kcxj-leghtye, dude…wtf are you talking about?

UMMMM…wtf do you think a Psychic DP is??? You just randomly DP? I mean hello…he says before that, every cammy player has poke strings…so if you learn the poke strings, you can DP (if you are a DP character) in between pokes…so i dunno what you are trying to get at with that statement.

Yeah wtf is that dude talking about!? just cannon spike that shit DSP style. cannon spike, cannon spike, cannon spike, cannon spike!!!

lol, thanks chris, kcxj, and frank.

hey chris, we gotta get together and play sometime, i just wish my damn computer was fixed. i’m at the library right now:mad:

Ken…Hopeless?

I play mostly with C-Ken and i always have trouble against cammy. is it hopeless to match ken with cammy? :frowning: if not could someone help me out with some tactics such as how to punish what?

I think/heard Kens c.strong is great against cammy.
