You are better off going for an ambiguous dive kick after a HK SA. Go forward a tad and do a HK C Strike. It’s hard to tell if its a genuine cross up or not. When you land do a hit confirm to see if it combos or not.
thx xD! ive been practicing it a bit, n i havent been able to hit confirm after the cross up so far…
is there a vid or somethig i could watch to see how it is done?
I cant think of a specific video on it. Hit confirming is a tad hard mostly because you don’t land RIGHT next to them, but you can do something like crouch short, stand jab, crouch medium kick XX Spiral Arrow. By the time of the stand jab you should have seen if it hits or not and can continue the combo. It’s more of a thing you just have to practice doing, but I’m 100% sure you can grasp it : )
It is very, very important to play patiently. Just because she’s a rushdown character doesn’t mean you have to immediately close the distance on your opponent. Feel them out to understand what type of player your against and then wait for the opportunity to rushdown. Also, learn her footsies game and try to master it. It’s much more important than her dive kicking mix-up game.
After studying the Zero to Hero tutorial mentioned in the earlier posts you may want to check out these other cammy videos. Although they do take place in Super they are a great source of information that can still somewhat be applied to 2012. The videos are in order, but feel free to skip to whichever section most interests you / need help in.

So I guess I’m missing the point of the Cannon Strike? Is it meant to fake out cross ups? I can never seem to execute it at a height that does damage or combos into a combo… or at the very least not consistently. Is the CS more of a tool for making/faking crossups? What should I be trying to achieve when performing it?
You are right, its a way to make the person guess if you are going to do a cross up or not. Most of the time you’ll be doing it when you knock them down. You aim the strike to hit pretty much at the back of the head. If done correctly, you can make it cross up or not, and if they do a reversal it will whiff.
Ahh, thanks man, that’s great info. See? This is why I think we need a newer, updated newb list of really, really basic and spelled out tactics like this. Have it all in one central thread, and all in the first post so we don’t have to go searching for it or asking 15 times a week.
Hello, I’m also a relative newcomer to cammy. I think that probably a google document would be the way to go, rather than a new updated thread. Threads tend to get rather messy, with lots of empty posts with [reserved] in, tons of spoiler tags or loads of broken links since the redesign. Combined with the fact that the search function isn’t the greatest they can be tough to navigate, not to mention that you rely on the top poster being willing to update regularly.
To be honest most of the relevant information is scattered throughout these forums, it just needs collating and editing.
If I recall correctly, SeikyuRyu (Steinmania) was making a google doc with Cammy info and had it open to edits and someone trashed it. So I’d say a thread would be better. Me personally though, I wouldn’t know how to even start making something like that without just repeating what everyone else says.
Thing is, threads are designed for a long discussion, which they work perfectly for. Something like a comprehensive matchup document maybe less so. It would be tough to avoid trolls though, I guess just take regular backups. I don’t know how far back the revision history extends, but that might also be good for removing any vandalism.
Oh, here’s steinmania’s doc by the way. It’s pretty decent, but the matchup section is incomplete. Beginners can do much worse than starting here!

I’ve been working on doing the crossup cannon strike. I’ve had more success comboing after it when using :hk: cannon strike than with :lk: or :mk:. Does it matter which kick button I use or should I always be using the :hk: cannon strike?
It depends on the character and it depends on which combo you used to knock them down.
In general, yeah, go for roundhouse.
