:in droning, monotonous voice: Welcome Diztrukted, we love you Diztrukted. :sips lukewarm coffee and waits for end of meeting:
Just kidding, hey there! I’d consider myself a mediocre player at best but I’ll be happy to help any way I can.
Cammy isn’t so much braindead as she is very linear and excellent at fundamentals, but compared to a gimmick or high-execution character she may seem that way. To answer your first question, the other threads aren’t specifically dedicated to each topic you mentioned but all the info’s already there, just take a bit to read through the combo thread. Her jump-cancel standing close HK is a great tool but is risky and difficult to do compared to her more “standard” ways to mix-up and apply pressure. If you first train your oppoonent to be afraid of throws you can crack open lots of players with her frame traps. I tend to alternate between repeated cross-up LK’s, standing/crouching jabs, throws, and empty-jump cr. LK’s in order to keep my opponent guessing and afraid to stop blocking, which is when throws become valuable in spite of their lousy range.
Spacing is extremely important when using Cammy on the ground. Her standing MK at max range buffered into HK is awesome for whiff punishing and super easy to convert into a launcher to tag in your next character and keep the combo going. Her crouching MK can be used similarly but has less range, and if you’re at the wrong distance the animation for the close HK will come out even if you’re nowhere near close enough to hit with it. Watch out for that, and learn the ranges accordingly.
On a tag-in, I use either standing MP or crouching MP, then standing HP xx HK cannon spike. It does a surprising amount of damage for something so simple, and you can do the HP xx HK CS part after an air-to-air counter hit too. Immediately after landing you can do a HP Hooligan, which if the opponent quick-stands sets them up perfectly for an unexpected throw, just watch out for reversal wakeup DP’s.
Is there only me who hates Cammy’s 3’rd alt
I mean WTF how the *** she ended up being some goth teen?
never liked her main costume
I mean I prefer 2’nd and 3’rd costumes from SF IV over original and catwoman was kinda cute
but never liked 1 and 4 and was never using them
she’s one of my favorite characters of all time
and in this game I don’t like her alts
the king alt is the best IMO it seems I’ll stick with it :E
I feel that there’s an auto block mechanics in this game to avoid unblockables.?? Jump attacks will become unhittable after certain knockdowns (block any direction)… It feels like it.
After hk sa in the corner. Early jump hk/lk is unhittable… Block any direction. Crossup if u delay the input.
I’m just curious but is Cammy still a good character after the nerfs? I can’t seem to find good video of her and whenever I do it’s someone getting owned. So I kinda want to know where she stands more or less cause she’s like my favorite cast member.
Cammy’s one of the better characters IMO. Aside from jab and general boost nerfs (the latter of which everyone got anyway), she really didn’t lose much of anything, gained another tool (usefulness still pending), and the nerf to wakeup options means its even harder to get away from her when she’s in your face.
I’m actually very surprised there aren’t more Cammy players now. I suggest any play you can find online of BadIntent and LPN. Noxcy I think plays a good Cammy as well.
There’s a couple more I know of but the names aren’t coming to me at the moment. :((
That’s what I don’t understand. Seems like people just pick Lili and go from there but it just seems like she lost the stupid jump cancel stuff. But I’ll look those guys up lol Thanks cause I just couldn’t find any good ones from the vids I saw. Maybe Dieminon but ehhhh.
Here’s a ghetto Cannon Strike setup I came up with a while back, sadly only for people who play Xiaoyu|Cammy. It can possibly be adapted for other characters though.
I usually do this when I want to get Xiaoyu out. I do a blockstring into Xiaoyu’s HK AOP sweeps (to force them to crouch block) and switch cancel to Cammy, immediately jump over them, pause slightly, and do a delayed MK TK Cannon Strike. If they’ve continued to block low, the last hit of Xiaoyu’s sweeps pushes them almost direct underneath Cammy, which creates a dirty-looking cross-up Cannon Strike that Cammy can combo off of.
