Street Fighter V Guide › Fighters › Cammy

Overview

Pros
  • With Axel Spin Knuckle, Hooligan Combination, and a jump-altering Cannon Strike, getting into mid and close range isn’t an issue with Cammy.
  • She’s one of a few characters who can link from a light to medium attack and medium to heavy attack, such as crouching into and standing into standing .
  • She has a superb footsie game with a far-reaching standing and crouching , Knee Bullet, forward dash, and usually safe LP Hooligan Cannon Strike.
  • All of her Cannon Spikes are completely invincible with varying ranges; in conjunction with , she has absolutely no trouble repelling jumping attacks.
  • Her superb walk speed (both forward and backward) is a huge boon to her offensive nature.
Cons
  • Her throws surrender valuable offensive pressure midscreen, as they reset the neutral game.
  • She does not possess an overhead, so her up-close game can be lackluster and one-dimensional.
  • Her V-Trigger only allows for two V-enhanced special moves, usually ending after a single V-Trigger cancel combo.
  • She can have horrible matchups against certain defensive characters since she’s usually the one on offense.
  • She only has 900 stamina, the lowest of the spectrum.

Cammy is the epitome of hyper-aggression. Her entire arsenal suggests that you play her offensively, with a focus on frame traps and carrying your opponent to a corner with Spiral Arrow combos. She is moderately difficult to play because many of her most effective engagement tools require strict spacing, such as Cannon Strike.

Your objective is to get into mid and close range to score a Spiral Arrow combo in order to corner your enemy. Achieve this by:

  • Walking down your opponent aggressively and forcing mid-range scrambles using crouching
  • Baiting out high-recovery reversals with forward jump LK Cannon Strike from long range
  • Frustrating your target and making them jump into your Cannon Spike by poking them with standing at mid range
  • Dashing into close range and utilizing your three-frame crouching along with standing to force out uncomfortable decisions from your foe
