Im new to cammy what tactics and bnbs should i use?
For bnbs look at the Cammy combo thread
The most important thing 2 learn when u r playing Cammy is match ups. Ur gameplan with Cammy will differ so much depending on who u r fighting against. For example u can’t fight a Abel player the same way u would a Guile player so learning match ups will help a lot.
As far as tactic go myself I try 2 stay close 2 my opponent (unless im playing against gief) and get a knockdown after a knockdown I start my mix ups and cross ups. Cammy has a great pressure game so try 2 stay on top of ur opponent and utilize her cannon strike dont always cannon strike however because it can get predictable. Also I try 2 work my opponent into the corner, Cammy is a great character for corner pressure.
The tips people will give u will help but honestly the best way 2 learn Cammy is with trial and error. U may lose a lot of matches but eventually u will get used 2 her style of play
can you elaborate?
Ok when u get a knockdown and the opponents is getting up, u have various options with Cammy I tend 2 mix up with a mixture of either lk cross up or cannon strikes u can also do other things such as empty jump then attack low or even a grab.
This video explains more or less everything u need kno.

Dive kicks, mostly. You can aim them so that they’ll cross, and so that most characters can’t DP them. It’s easier to aim the wakeup dive kick after a back throw or after a combo ending in spiral arrow than it is to aim it after a sweep or something.
In general, get some kind of combo going and end it in heavy spiral arrow. Then dive kick in such a way so that you’re barely hitting the back of him. You can make him guess which direction to block.
Most of Cammy’s pressure can be DP’d pretty easily. You have to apply a lot of pressure by using things like low dive kicks (usually EX, as it has no height restriction, execute LOW to the ground), frame traps, and high priority normals. You have no overhead, so your only real way through someone doing down+back 24/7 is your throw. Don’t use it as a crutch, you want them scared of the throw but you don’t want to just throw. When you find an opening, you need to score a knockdown. You’re trying to get the opponent to guess wrong and open up just once. You then have to hit confirm into a knockdown and start the dive kick shenanigans. Most Cammy players will use light punch to constantly fish for when the opponent isn’t blocking, and if he isn’t, head into a link that then leads to spiral arrow. Above all else, you have to know when to stop. When they’re so pressured that they’re willing to reversal, you can’t be pressing buttons.
This is GREAT information, thanks alot.
Call me a noob but i’m having trouble linking c.lp/lk to c.mk … it was pretty easier with my previous characters. i guess i’ll keep trying…
lk doesn’t link into mk. cr.lp into cr.mk is a one frame link. cr.mp has one frame faster startup than cr.mk so use that after a light punch.
One of her beginner BnBs is cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.mp xx H spiral arrow. You can do two light punches instead of one lk and then an lp if you want, doing this does slightly less damage but is just a tiny bit easier to successfully land after a dive kick.
Hey guys… new player here… whats cammys bnb combo after a successful ex canon strike
Do the “on standing oponent” combo that deals more damage to that character, check the post of alioune sensei. For shotos the most damage combo is st.hp far.hp >spiral hk; but is a hard link to land, I normally use cr.hp cr.mk > spiral.hk
This is the one i use as well but this also isn’t easy especially online. If u r having trouble with that one u can also do cr.lp cr.lp cr.mp > spiral.hk
U can also U1 straight after a EX Cannon spike if u hit the opponent low enough
It’s really not that hard, just takes some practice; maybe an hour or so. The way I’ve come to get almost all of Cammy’s combos is there is a timing to the button pressing. Like when I do cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.mk, SA-- I time it in two sections with 1,2 then wait a very slight brief second, like an inhale. then go 1,2 again. Works every time. unless I’m under pressure. I suck at that.
Also, Sanada-kun what’s the best/most efficient way to learn match ups for Cammy? Should I just be watching eery match up video I find.
Match up vids can help but IMO the best way 2 learn a match up is 2 play it urself. If u can find a person that plays a character who u wanna learn the match up have a long set with him that way u can learn wat works and wat doesn’t in an actual match enviroment.
Oh… I figured that would be the case, but my friends only play their characters and I still can’t learn the match up very well. Well except Vega. I’ve learned that somewhat.
can someone please fucking tell me how to get inside. That dive kick is god damn worthless. NO ONE GETS CAUGHT WITH THAT.
Is this a joke??
Can someone tell me how to combo after landing a normal cannon strike? I can’t activate it immediately as there is height restriction and thus it always hit my opponent at the shoulder and i am
Unable to combo afterward. What shld i do? Thx
It is not advisable to do a raw normal dive outside set ups or you are confident in hitting the waist and below where you are at plus on block.
Correct, I never regular strike a standing opponent. (try my best not to). Friends who I play frequently are really good with aa.
Not to mention it’s free focus. (Some characters can’t focus it. Fei/Sakura? And yang?..)
dude when you pick a new char,first thing before even playing it you should know your chars frame data,at least thats what i think…then you go practicing combos,execution,learning matchups etc etc
im having trouble with a cs after 2hit sa…how is it possible to combo off of it? it seems like theres no room to hit below the head (im using lk cs btw) am i just not practicing enough? or do u only crossup cs after a 2 hit sa
