[0:00] All right, Professor Wasler is back for
[0:03] another episode of In the Lab. Shout
[0:07] outs to Baseless Sciences eSports team
[0:09] for, you know, continuing this series
[0:12] and everything. And you guys love it and
[0:14] you guys are trying to learn. So, this
[0:15] time this character we are going to go
[0:18] with Cammy.
[0:25] Cammy White. Cammy is also a, you know,
[0:27] just old school character from Street
[0:29] Fighter and fun fact, Cammy was always
[0:32] bad in the beginning the old school
[0:34] games like, you know, Street Fighter
[0:36] uh
[0:37] Alpha 3, Street Fighter the movie if you
[0:39] want to count that and then she she I
[0:41] would say she got really really good
[0:44] after Street Fighter 4. Street Fighter 4
[0:46] and beyond, she actually always became
[0:49] kind of like
[0:50] that good old character that is
[0:53] guaranteed to be good, never to be bad,
[0:56] right? And the reason why is probably
[0:58] because of like the the offense
[1:00] situation that she always carries in the
[1:02] game. And we're going to talk about it,
[1:04] right? Cammy obviously has amazing
[1:06] amazing pokes, right? Standing medium
[1:08] punch is also really really good. Let me
[1:10] let me take out the punish counter.
[1:13] Uh crouch medium kick is going to be
[1:14] your to go button because you're going
[1:16] to be able to drive rush cancel
[1:17] afterwards and get a combo from there.
[1:20] Um she also has standing medium kick and
[1:22] also standing roundhouse which is great
[1:23] great pokes, especially with standing
[1:25] roundhouse when you do a punish counter,
[1:28] right? You're going to be able to
[1:30] literally send them down to
[1:31] downtown right there, right? And then
[1:33] continue your offense. And now the
[1:35] reason why we got to talk about Cammy in
[1:37] general is because her combos, some of
[1:39] her combos like obviously if you do
[1:41] crouch medium kick like I mentioned,
[1:43] that's going to be your main thing to
[1:44] do, right? Or you're going to get like
[1:45] maybe a counter hit stand jab into
[1:47] crouch medium punch right here. This is
[1:49] also going to be a great poke like a
[1:51] walk down poke that you can do. And see,
[1:53] and that's always going to combo into to
[1:56] and the spiral arrow. And just like
[1:57] that, that combo alone or anything combo
[2:00] into crouching medium kick or in the
[2:02] spiral, anything ending with spiral
[2:04] arrow is amazing, because look, I just
[2:06] dash afterwards and I get oki. So, now
[2:09] if we add the frame meter in here,
[2:13] oops, if we add the frame meter in here
[2:15] and we dash forward,
[2:17] look at the advantage. You are 11 11
[2:20] plus 11 frame advantage. So, because of
[2:23] that, you can go obviously go into the
[2:25] throw, strike throw mix-ups. Cammy is
[2:27] like the queen of strike throw mix-up.
[2:29] You can go into crouch fierce if you
[2:32] think they're going to tech the throw
[2:33] and the crouch fierce on, let's say,
[2:35] non-counter hit,
[2:38] can always combo into crouching medium
[2:40] punch. So, because of that, you're going
[2:42] to be able to,
[2:45] you know, visually see that it hits or
[2:46] not.
[2:48] Uh uh uh uh, and then run it back, run
[2:51] run the sequence back. And you're
[2:52] probably wondering, "What if they block
[2:54] the crouch fierce, Justin?" Right? What
[2:56] if
[2:56] Let me block that first hit. What What
[2:58] if they block the crouch fierce? Well,
[3:01] lucky for you, that is the plus button
[3:03] right there. So, because of that, it's
[3:04] plus one, right? So, because it's plus
[3:07] one after spiral arrow, you can walk up,
[3:09] go for a throw,
[3:11] right? Which is which is going to be
[3:13] really really good.
[3:14] Boom, and go for a throw. I don't know
[3:17] why I have him on tech. Do I have him on
[3:18] tech or something?
[3:20] I might have him on tech. Let's see.
[3:22] Switch block, throw escape active. There
[3:24] we go.
[3:26] So, do it again, walk forward, boom, go
[3:29] for a throw, right? And then that's her
[3:31] strike throw mix-up. And now we have to
[3:33] talk about another thing. She has these
[3:35] spin knuckles. Spin knuckle is also plus
[3:37] on block. This one is plus on block, the
[3:39] heavy punch version, right? So, if you
[3:41] look at the heavy punch version,
[3:45] this is plus three. So, because it's
[3:47] plus three, they're not going to be able
[3:48] to challenge right here, right? The
[3:50] light punch version is minus three,
[3:52] medium punch version also minus two. Um,
[3:54] but these are moves that you can go
[3:56] through like projectiles. So, if
[3:57] somebody threw like Hadoken or Sonic
[3:59] Boom, you would use this to go through
[4:01] projectiles, right? Which is really
[4:03] good. So, she has great moves to counter
[4:05] against that. Also, another thing is
[4:07] that when people are playing that the
[4:09] grounded game of poking with all these
[4:11] different normals, she has a dive kick,
[4:14] right? So, because she has a dive kick,
[4:17] you can lead it into kind of like combos
[4:19] as well, too. So, if you kind of see
[4:22] like from here, right? Obviously from
[4:24] the tip, like the highest point, you're
[4:25] going to not going to be able to get a
[4:26] combo, right? But, if you see from that
[4:29] angle, look at that, the advantage is
[4:30] plus eight,
[4:32] right? So, I can get a combo from there,
[4:35] right? Go into light strings, and if you
[4:37] hit it deep enough, right? You can kind
[4:39] of go into crouch medium punch.
[4:41] Obviously with counter hit and punish
[4:43] counters that we talked about in the
[4:44] past, that will also like increase your
[4:47] your frame advantage in terms of what
[4:49] buttons you want to press, which is
[4:50] really really nice. Another thing Cammy
[4:52] is really good at that she's good at
[4:54] stringing you up. And what I mean about
[4:56] stringing you up is like she has a lot
[4:57] of these like little change chains right
[5:00] here.
[5:01] So, little like two three jabs, you get
[5:03] and you can combo into spiral arrow,
[5:05] dash forward, I'm plus eight right
[5:06] there.
[5:07] You can combo into stand light kick into
[5:09] spiral arrow,
[5:10] dash forward, I'm plus eight here, go
[5:13] for strike throw mix up. You can also,
[5:15] if you think that if you also think
[5:16] they're going to take the throw, you can
[5:17] also use dive kick, which will which
[5:19] will put them on a punish counter state,
[5:21] right? And you'll be plus five here as
[5:23] well too.
[5:24] And then you can combo into her target
[5:26] combo, right? Which is she has back
[5:28] medium punch and heavy kick, which is
[5:30] jump cancelable, and you can combo into
[5:33] stand medium punch into dive kick or
[5:34] into OD dive kick, or even use her super
[5:38] as well, too, which is really really
[5:39] cool,
[5:40] right? So, that's her kind of like her
[5:43] level two.
[5:44] Um, most of the time you kind of like if
[5:45] you're going to use a super, you're
[5:46] going to probably use level one or level
[5:48] three
[5:49] because the level one is a good super to
[5:51] corner carry right here. Obviously, you
[5:53] can see that they're in a corner right
[5:54] away. And level three is kind of like
[5:56] your your ender of like just doing a
[5:58] combo
[5:59] like that, right? This is kind of like
[6:00] your combo ender. Low forward, crouch
[6:03] fierce, stand fierce, drive rush, crouch
[6:05] fierce, stand fierce. And then hold the
[6:07] cannon spike, right? When you do DP with
[6:09] heavy kick, hold the cannon spike into
[6:11] level three, right? So, that's another
[6:13] thing. Like you have this hold cannon
[6:14] spike right here. But, the problem is
[6:17] you're not going to use that in neutral.
[6:18] That's mainly just a combo ender.
[6:20] Um obviously, she has this regular
[6:22] cannon spike, just angle. And the angle
[6:23] is amazing. Like you see how how far it
[6:25] goes too. So, it it it does really It
[6:28] does a great job of anti-airs. Uh she
[6:30] also has hooligan, right? Which kind of
[6:32] I would say the gimmick, right? So, each
[6:35] each button will do something different.
[6:37] Well, like not really, but if you do
[6:39] punch, you do the fake, right? This is
[6:41] the fake right here. If you press medium
[6:42] punch or heavy punch, it still does the
[6:44] same, right? But, if you do different
[6:47] directions, like different starts
[6:49] startup of uh I would say hooligan. So,
[6:51] if you do light punch, she does like a
[6:53] kind of like a flip up first. Medium
[6:55] goes a little bit farther, and heavy
[6:56] punch goes more towards the opponent.
[6:58] And if you just don't press any button,
[7:00] she'll always do the slide, which is
[7:02] really good. And then you can any if you
[7:04] cancel a kick, you'll go into the dive
[7:06] kick as well too, right? And if you hold
[7:09] if you press down kick,
[7:12] she'll get that version,
[7:14] which is kind of like a kind of like a
[7:15] somersault, you know, homage to Nash.
[7:18] But, now usually you want to do the hold
[7:20] version, right? Because the hold version
[7:21] will have like an enhance,
[7:24] right? Go for the dive kick right there.
[7:25] Obviously, you can see that, right? And
[7:27] if you do the hold one, it's a down
[7:29] kick, she does two hits. And that's kind
[7:31] of what you use during like a burnout
[7:32] pressure right here. So, if you have the
[7:35] opponent in a burnout, let's see right
[7:38] here.
[7:40] Let me see. So, we go burnout,
[7:42] and we do drive impact. Oops.
[7:49] Right? They get the stun, and you hold
[7:51] this. Boom, boom, and you can combo,
[7:54] right, into fierce, into drive rush,
[7:56] into whatever combo you want to do. She
[7:58] also has great corner combos, right,
[8:00] which is really, really good. So, that's
[8:01] especially from like drive rush here.
[8:03] So, you have to crouch fierce. You see
[8:04] you're 11 frames, and you can see that
[8:06] from mid screen, I've been doing this,
[8:08] right, stand fierce into spiral arrow by
[8:10] the corner. You can do back heavy kick,
[8:13] and puts them in a juggle state. So,
[8:14] because it puts them in a juggle state,
[8:16] boom, you can combo light kick spiral
[8:18] arrow, and you see that they're still
[8:19] pretty high. And you have options. So,
[8:21] you can go into cannon spike,
[8:23] right? You can go into level one,
[8:27] right, go to in the combo,
[8:30] or you can go into level three right
[8:32] away.
[8:34] Right? So, no more games, depending on
[8:36] what you want to do, right? So, in the
[8:37] corner, you have you obviously get lots
[8:39] of cool combos, and um the cool thing is
[8:42] the crouch because the crouch fierce
[8:43] forces force standing, the back heavy
[8:45] kick will work because this button won't
[8:48] work if they are crouching. So, just
[8:50] remember that. You can't use this button
[8:52] unless they're crouching, and you could
[8:54] use this as a pseudo anti-air, but it's
[8:56] kind of like very like difficult. But,
[8:58] back medium punch is great anti-air, or
[9:00] the classic cannon spike. I would I
[9:02] would always want to do cannon spike,
[9:03] especially if you have the option to
[9:04] dragon punch. So, that's kind of what I
[9:07] would personally recommend.
[9:09] Um but besides that, I mean, I think
[9:11] Cammy is a very straightforward
[9:12] character. Anyone that doesn't know
[9:14] anything about like Street Fighter, or
[9:15] they're trying to find a character that
[9:17] can give them the fundamentals and
[9:19] understanding of how to play Street
[9:21] Fighter 6 in the beginning, Cammy is the
[9:23] character. Because the thing is, she has
[9:26] great pokes, right, into drive rush,
[9:28] great like comp like light combos into
[9:31] spiral arrow, great anti-air, great
[9:34] normals, great special moves as well,
[9:36] too, dive kick, and you can use that
[9:38] against projectiles, right? The The
[9:40] spinning back fist right here, spin
[9:42] knuckle,
[9:43] uh spiral arrow always leads into you
[9:46] into a situation where you can continue
[9:48] your offense right here. So, I I do like
[9:51] her offense a lot. I think her offense
[9:52] is like amazing, right? The only thing
[9:55] that she probably doesn't have compared
[9:57] to other characters that her damage, I
[9:58] would say, is a little bit lacking just
[10:00] because like she's labeled as a pixie
[10:03] character. So, so because she's labeled
[10:06] as a pixie character, I think that's
[10:08] something that you do have to be careful
[10:09] about. So, let's play some games and see
[10:12] kind of like how my Cammy kind of shapes
[10:14] up in terms of like the the people in
[10:17] online. See what they, you know, what
[10:19] they have to think about my Cammy. We'll
[10:21] see. So, we're fighting a Guile. It's
[10:22] going to be a very defensive character
[10:25] in general. So, I'm going to be the one
[10:26] having to push offense most of the time,
[10:29] right? So, the goal is to try to like
[10:31] find a way find his pattern on like how
[10:33] many Sonic Booms is is he got Does he
[10:36] have a kind of like a tell on when he's
[10:38] going to flash kick, as well too? So,
[10:40] it's it's a lot of things to to think
[10:42] about when when you're fighting against
[10:44] Guile, right? Because
[10:45] Guile is the one making you feel
[10:48] uncomfortable because he's the the total
[10:50] wall defensive character. So, it's all
[10:51] about breaking the offense. So, he
[10:53] doesn't throw Sonic Boom right away.
[10:54] He's waiting, right? Go that. Go for the
[10:57] C. Go spin knuckle right here. Ooh. With
[10:59] punish. Go for the low forward, like I
[11:01] mentioned, crouch fierce. Nice perfect
[11:03] parry. He's going to throw me, which is
[11:05] kind of like dangerous right here
[11:06] because I'm now I'm in the corner. I go
[11:08] for a dive kick. Oh, no, he missed a
[11:10] combo.
[11:12] Okay, again. He's going to go parry
[11:13] again. He doesn't go parry. So, we go
[11:14] for strike throw.
[11:16] But, we're going to go for the plus
[11:16] frames, right? We're going to go for the
[11:18] walk up into drive rush.
[11:20] With punish again. Boom. Boom.
[11:23] Into level one. No, I missed it.
[11:25] Mistimed it.
[11:26] So, we got stand roundhouse right here.
[11:27] It's okay cuz I'm burnt out here, right?
[11:29] So, I have to wait. I don't I shouldn't
[11:31] just kind of like force it. Go for a
[11:33] dive kick right here.
[11:35] Spiral nice.
[11:37] So, now I just wait cuz I'll get the
[11:38] drive gauge back, right? So, cuz I'll
[11:41] get the drive gauge back, I can just
[11:42] wait out.
[11:43] Anti-air, just like that. Look at that
[11:45] DP. So, I can force kind of like the
[11:47] scenario. You can kind of see the
[11:49] pattern. I'm He likes to whiff a lot of
[11:51] buttons, so I'm I'm able to whiff punish
[11:52] a lot with my crouch medium kick. Ooh,
[11:55] nice pokes right here.
[11:57] Okay, go for a dive kick.
[11:59] He's poking a lot, staying right out.
[12:01] So, I got to attack the drive gauge a
[12:02] little bit. I'm plus there. Nice
[12:04] anti-air, so you got to force it, see?
[12:06] Eventually, he's going to have that
[12:07] tell.
[12:10] Okay, low forward.
[12:11] Try to look for the Sonic Boom. Mhm. He
[12:14] tried to check it, doesn't work.
[12:16] Go to walk up throw cuz I'm scared of
[12:17] flash kick. I don't want to go back to
[12:19] full screen.
[12:21] Right? Keep it a true block string right
[12:22] here. I'm going to be able to walk up
[12:23] throw again. He might flash kick right
[12:26] here. No, he he did wake up drive rush?
[12:29] Oh my god, he caught me off guard right
[12:32] here. I don't know if I'm dead, but I do
[12:33] have CA level three.
[12:35] So, if he throws a bad Sonic Boom, I'm
[12:37] able to react to a lot of things, right?
[12:40] So, let's see.
[12:42] Or I could combo into low forward drive
[12:44] rush. He's not going to throw a boom
[12:45] that much because he's kind of scared
[12:47] I'm going to react to it.
[12:51] Right? That's the thing. He's going to
[12:53] He's going to be scared.
[12:55] Oh, there we go.
[12:57] Look at that. See?
[12:59] He was scared of my CA level three,
[13:01] right? He was scared of my level three
[13:02] cuz that's a bullet train. It goes to
[13:04] projectiles or he could be scared of
[13:06] spin knuckle. That's why he wasn't
[13:07] throwing a lot of booms be because he's
[13:09] like, "If I get hit, I will die from the
[13:11] level three, right?" And obviously, you
[13:12] saw that. And once I realized also that
[13:15] he's not going to be dumb enough to
[13:16] throw booms like that and try to be
[13:17] sneaky, I walked in. I walked into his
[13:20] zone and just try to like hit his
[13:21] button, which I normally have been
[13:23] hitting his button.
[13:24] Right? Nice little combo, doesn't get
[13:26] the dive kick right there. Mhm, I
[13:27] delayed the dive kick and that's the one
[13:29] good thing about characters like that.
[13:31] Nice neutral jump. He knew I was going
[13:32] to spin knuckle there. Is that if you're
[13:34] able to kind of like change your jump
[13:36] arc in this scenario, that helps a lot
[13:38] as well.
[13:39] Yep, see that? Go spin knuckle.
[13:42] Go for crouch fierce. Oh, missed it
[13:44] though. Caught him holding up. Get a
[13:46] combo. You saw that corner combo you saw
[13:48] earlier.
[13:50] Okay. Drive rush? No.
[13:53] Oh.
[13:54] Eh. Eh. Level one? That's going to be
[13:56] enough maybe? It should be. Nice. Yeah,
[13:59] see that's the thing. I Cammy can string
[14:02] you up and everything.
[14:03] But the thing is
[14:05] because Cammy is really good at
[14:06] stringing you up, you can really the
[14:07] combo flexibility is super high, right?
[14:10] It might be very simple compared to
[14:11] other characters. Yep, spin knuckle
[14:13] again. I'm plus.
[14:14] Right? Keep us Keep the string tight so
[14:17] he doesn't flash kick.
[14:19] Nice. No anti-air. I got him I got him
[14:21] sleeping.
[14:23] And you sometimes you would want to kind
[14:24] of like test if he if he gets drive
[14:26] impact here. Yeah.
[14:28] Because the thing is he's focusing so
[14:29] much on defense that he might forget
[14:31] that like oh, you can't just block drive
[14:33] impact especially in the corner, right?
[14:35] Yep, use the spin knuckle again. Now
[14:36] it's going to be a guess work game.
[14:39] Okay. Go crouch fierce.
[14:43] But he's he's panicking.
[14:46] He's panicking. He's jumping back. He
[14:48] doesn't know what to do and that's going
[14:49] to be it. Going to level three right
[14:51] away.
[14:53] Easy peasy. And that's thing. Like once
[14:56] you understand how to break like a
[14:57] defensive Guile like that, it it becomes
[15:00] like you're the one able to read his
[15:02] like I would say his his nervous
[15:04] tendencies, the things that he wants to
[15:07] do that he shouldn't do. And because the
[15:09] thing is eventually characters like
[15:11] that, the archetypes of that will crack
[15:13] because like they're so used to
[15:14] everything going in their way.
[15:17] But once something breaks, it's up to
[15:18] them if they're able to adapt, right?
[15:20] And Cammy is one of those one of those
[15:22] characters that is so good at like
[15:24] breaking people's like comfort zone,
[15:26] their habits, and everything. So, I
[15:28] mean, Cammy I mean, Cammy in terms of
[15:30] attack, I would say she's like
[15:34] she's I would say she's a eight out of
[15:35] 10 for sure for attack. Defense, um
[15:39] defense I think is pretty solid. So,
[15:41] we're going to give her I would say
[15:44] seven out of 10, right? Because she's
[15:46] also character that relies on like
[15:48] crouch medium kick drive rush, a lot of
[15:49] drive rushes, right? So, if you do a bad
[15:51] DP, a bad super, your drive gauge
[15:53] management is going to go just down,
[15:55] right? So, eight and seven so far, so so
[15:57] far so good. Speed, I'm going to give
[15:59] her a nine cuz I think in terms of
[16:01] speed,
[16:02] she's super fast. She could She could
[16:04] control the air, she could control the
[16:06] ground. She's the one always moving back
[16:08] and forth, back and forth, right? So,
[16:09] I'm going to give her a nine in terms of
[16:12] her guard in that regard. So, we got
[16:13] what? Eight, uh seven, nine, so 24
[16:16] points so far. Viability, I think she's
[16:19] a very popular tournament character. You
[16:22] know, she might not be the best, but in
[16:23] terms of viability, I would say she's
[16:25] also an eight as well. So, we're going
[16:27] to get So, that's going to be what? 32
[16:29] in terms of that regards. Um and
[16:31] comeback factor, actually the comeback
[16:33] factor might might be a bit low because
[16:35] her damage is pretty low.
[16:37] Um but you know, this is Street Fighter
[16:38] 6, so you can't really count her out.
[16:40] She But the thing is she's not a
[16:41] character that really makes comeback cuz
[16:42] she has to make a lot of like reads just
[16:45] because like once you get thrown so much
[16:47] or you get hit by combo, the damage is
[16:49] not as strong compared to other
[16:50] characters that we've seen, right? So, I
[16:52] would say comeback factor we have to
[16:54] give her a probably a six, right?
[16:56] Probably her lowest score, but the thing
[16:58] is everything else is pretty strong,
[17:00] right? So, 32, right? So, we got we got
[17:03] attack uh for eight, defense for seven,
[17:06] so 15,
[17:08] uh speed for nine, 24,
[17:12] right? 24, viability eight because so
[17:14] popular, 32, comeback factor six, so
[17:17] it's going to be a 38 out of 50 for
[17:20] Cammy. And hopefully you guys did enjoy
