Learn Cammy! | In the Lab with Professor Wazzler | Street Fighter 6

[00:00] All right, Professor Wasler is back for

[00:03] another episode of In the Lab. Shout

[00:07] outs to Baseless Sciences eSports team

[00:09] for, you know, continuing this series

[00:12] and everything. And you guys love it and

[00:14] you guys are trying to learn. So, this

[00:15] time this character we are going to go

[00:18] with Cammy.

[00:25] Cammy White. Cammy is also a, you know,

[00:27] just old school character from Street

[00:29] Fighter and fun fact, Cammy was always

[00:32] bad in the beginning the old school

[00:34] games like, you know, Street Fighter

[00:36] uh

[00:37] Alpha 3, Street Fighter the movie if you

[00:39] want to count that and then she she I

[00:41] would say she got really really good

[00:44] after Street Fighter 4. Street Fighter 4

[00:46] and beyond, she actually always became

[00:49] kind of like

[00:50] that good old character that is

[00:53] guaranteed to be good, never to be bad,

[00:56] right? And the reason why is probably

[00:58] because of like the the offense

[01:00] situation that she always carries in the

[01:02] game. And we're going to talk about it,

[01:04] right? Cammy obviously has amazing

[01:06] amazing pokes, right? Standing medium

[01:08] punch is also really really good. Let me

[01:10] let me take out the punish counter.

[01:13] Uh crouch medium kick is going to be

[01:14] your to go button because you're going

[01:16] to be able to drive rush cancel

[01:17] afterwards and get a combo from there.

[01:20] Um she also has standing medium kick and

[01:22] also standing roundhouse which is great

[01:23] great pokes, especially with standing

[01:25] roundhouse when you do a punish counter,

[01:28] right? You're going to be able to

[01:30] literally send them down to

[01:31] downtown right there, right? And then

[01:33] continue your offense. And now the

[01:35] reason why we got to talk about Cammy in

[01:37] general is because her combos, some of

[01:39] her combos like obviously if you do

[01:41] crouch medium kick like I mentioned,

[01:43] that's going to be your main thing to

[01:44] do, right? Or you're going to get like

[01:45] maybe a counter hit stand jab into

[01:47] crouch medium punch right here. This is

[01:49] also going to be a great poke like a

[01:51] walk down poke that you can do. And see,

[01:53] and that's always going to combo into to

[01:56] and the spiral arrow. And just like

[01:57] that, that combo alone or anything combo

[02:00] into crouching medium kick or in the

[02:02] spiral, anything ending with spiral

[02:04] arrow is amazing, because look, I just

[02:06] dash afterwards and I get oki. So, now

[02:09] if we add the frame meter in here,

[02:13] oops, if we add the frame meter in here

[02:15] and we dash forward,

[02:17] look at the advantage. You are 11 11

[02:20] plus 11 frame advantage. So, because of

[02:23] that, you can go obviously go into the

[02:25] throw, strike throw mix-ups. Cammy is

[02:27] like the queen of strike throw mix-up.

[02:29] You can go into crouch fierce if you

[02:32] think they're going to tech the throw

[02:33] and the crouch fierce on, let's say,

[02:35] non-counter hit,

[02:38] can always combo into crouching medium

[02:40] punch. So, because of that, you're going

[02:42] to be able to,

[02:45] you know, visually see that it hits or

[02:46] not.

[02:48] Uh uh uh uh, and then run it back, run

[02:51] run the sequence back. And you're

[02:52] probably wondering, "What if they block

[02:54] the crouch fierce, Justin?" Right? What

[02:56] if

[02:56] Let me block that first hit. What What

[02:58] if they block the crouch fierce? Well,

[03:01] lucky for you, that is the plus button

[03:03] right there. So, because of that, it's

[03:04] plus one, right? So, because it's plus

[03:07] one after spiral arrow, you can walk up,

[03:09] go for a throw,

[03:11] right? Which is which is going to be

[03:13] really really good.

[03:14] Boom, and go for a throw. I don't know

[03:17] why I have him on tech. Do I have him on

[03:18] tech or something?

[03:20] I might have him on tech. Let's see.

[03:22] Switch block, throw escape active. There

[03:24] we go.

[03:26] So, do it again, walk forward, boom, go

[03:29] for a throw, right? And then that's her

[03:31] strike throw mix-up. And now we have to

[03:33] talk about another thing. She has these

[03:35] spin knuckles. Spin knuckle is also plus

[03:37] on block. This one is plus on block, the

[03:39] heavy punch version, right? So, if you

[03:41] look at the heavy punch version,

[03:45] this is plus three. So, because it's

[03:47] plus three, they're not going to be able

[03:48] to challenge right here, right? The

[03:50] light punch version is minus three,

[03:52] medium punch version also minus two. Um,

[03:54] but these are moves that you can go

[03:56] through like projectiles. So, if

[03:57] somebody threw like Hadoken or Sonic

[03:59] Boom, you would use this to go through

[04:01] projectiles, right? Which is really

[04:03] good. So, she has great moves to counter

[04:05] against that. Also, another thing is

[04:07] that when people are playing that the

[04:09] grounded game of poking with all these

[04:11] different normals, she has a dive kick,

[04:14] right? So, because she has a dive kick,

[04:17] you can lead it into kind of like combos

[04:19] as well, too. So, if you kind of see

[04:22] like from here, right? Obviously from

[04:24] the tip, like the highest point, you're

[04:25] going to not going to be able to get a

[04:26] combo, right? But, if you see from that

[04:29] angle, look at that, the advantage is

[04:30] plus eight,

[04:32] right? So, I can get a combo from there,

[04:35] right? Go into light strings, and if you

[04:37] hit it deep enough, right? You can kind

[04:39] of go into crouch medium punch.

[04:41] Obviously with counter hit and punish

[04:43] counters that we talked about in the

[04:44] past, that will also like increase your

[04:47] your frame advantage in terms of what

[04:49] buttons you want to press, which is

[04:50] really really nice. Another thing Cammy

[04:52] is really good at that she's good at

[04:54] stringing you up. And what I mean about

[04:56] stringing you up is like she has a lot

[04:57] of these like little change chains right

[05:00] here.

[05:01] So, little like two three jabs, you get

[05:03] and you can combo into spiral arrow,

[05:05] dash forward, I'm plus eight right

[05:06] there.

[05:07] You can combo into stand light kick into

[05:09] spiral arrow,

[05:10] dash forward, I'm plus eight here, go

[05:13] for strike throw mix up. You can also,

[05:15] if you think that if you also think

[05:16] they're going to take the throw, you can

[05:17] also use dive kick, which will which

[05:19] will put them on a punish counter state,

[05:21] right? And you'll be plus five here as

[05:23] well too.

[05:24] And then you can combo into her target

[05:26] combo, right? Which is she has back

[05:28] medium punch and heavy kick, which is

[05:30] jump cancelable, and you can combo into

[05:33] stand medium punch into dive kick or

[05:34] into OD dive kick, or even use her super

[05:38] as well, too, which is really really

[05:39] cool,

[05:40] right? So, that's her kind of like her

[05:43] level two.

[05:44] Um, most of the time you kind of like if

[05:45] you're going to use a super, you're

[05:46] going to probably use level one or level

[05:48] three

[05:49] because the level one is a good super to

[05:51] corner carry right here. Obviously, you

[05:53] can see that they're in a corner right

[05:54] away. And level three is kind of like

[05:56] your your ender of like just doing a

[05:58] combo

[05:59] like that, right? This is kind of like

[06:00] your combo ender. Low forward, crouch

[06:03] fierce, stand fierce, drive rush, crouch

[06:05] fierce, stand fierce. And then hold the

[06:07] cannon spike, right? When you do DP with

[06:09] heavy kick, hold the cannon spike into

[06:11] level three, right? So, that's another

[06:13] thing. Like you have this hold cannon

[06:14] spike right here. But, the problem is

[06:17] you're not going to use that in neutral.

[06:18] That's mainly just a combo ender.

[06:20] Um obviously, she has this regular

[06:22] cannon spike, just angle. And the angle

[06:23] is amazing. Like you see how how far it

[06:25] goes too. So, it it it does really It

[06:28] does a great job of anti-airs. Uh she

[06:30] also has hooligan, right? Which kind of

[06:32] I would say the gimmick, right? So, each

[06:35] each button will do something different.

[06:37] Well, like not really, but if you do

[06:39] punch, you do the fake, right? This is

[06:41] the fake right here. If you press medium

[06:42] punch or heavy punch, it still does the

[06:44] same, right? But, if you do different

[06:47] directions, like different starts

[06:49] startup of uh I would say hooligan. So,

[06:51] if you do light punch, she does like a

[06:53] kind of like a flip up first. Medium

[06:55] goes a little bit farther, and heavy

[06:56] punch goes more towards the opponent.

[06:58] And if you just don't press any button,

[07:00] she'll always do the slide, which is

[07:02] really good. And then you can any if you

[07:04] cancel a kick, you'll go into the dive

[07:06] kick as well too, right? And if you hold

[07:09] if you press down kick,

[07:12] she'll get that version,

[07:14] which is kind of like a kind of like a

[07:15] somersault, you know, homage to Nash.

[07:18] But, now usually you want to do the hold

[07:20] version, right? Because the hold version

[07:21] will have like an enhance,

[07:24] right? Go for the dive kick right there.

[07:25] Obviously, you can see that, right? And

[07:27] if you do the hold one, it's a down

[07:29] kick, she does two hits. And that's kind

[07:31] of what you use during like a burnout

[07:32] pressure right here. So, if you have the

[07:35] opponent in a burnout, let's see right

[07:38] here.

[07:40] Let me see. So, we go burnout,

[07:42] and we do drive impact. Oops.

[07:49] Right? They get the stun, and you hold

[07:51] this. Boom, boom, and you can combo,

[07:54] right, into fierce, into drive rush,

[07:56] into whatever combo you want to do. She

[07:58] also has great corner combos, right,

[08:00] which is really, really good. So, that's

[08:01] especially from like drive rush here.

[08:03] So, you have to crouch fierce. You see

[08:04] you're 11 frames, and you can see that

[08:06] from mid screen, I've been doing this,

[08:08] right, stand fierce into spiral arrow by

[08:10] the corner. You can do back heavy kick,

[08:13] and puts them in a juggle state. So,

[08:14] because it puts them in a juggle state,

[08:16] boom, you can combo light kick spiral

[08:18] arrow, and you see that they're still

[08:19] pretty high. And you have options. So,

[08:21] you can go into cannon spike,

[08:23] right? You can go into level one,

[08:27] right, go to in the combo,

[08:30] or you can go into level three right

[08:32] away.

[08:34] Right? So, no more games, depending on

[08:36] what you want to do, right? So, in the

[08:37] corner, you have you obviously get lots

[08:39] of cool combos, and um the cool thing is

[08:42] the crouch because the crouch fierce

[08:43] forces force standing, the back heavy

[08:45] kick will work because this button won't

[08:48] work if they are crouching. So, just

[08:50] remember that. You can't use this button

[08:52] unless they're crouching, and you could

[08:54] use this as a pseudo anti-air, but it's

[08:56] kind of like very like difficult. But,

[08:58] back medium punch is great anti-air, or

[09:00] the classic cannon spike. I would I

[09:02] would always want to do cannon spike,

[09:03] especially if you have the option to

[09:04] dragon punch. So, that's kind of what I

[09:07] would personally recommend.

[09:09] Um but besides that, I mean, I think

[09:11] Cammy is a very straightforward

[09:12] character. Anyone that doesn't know

[09:14] anything about like Street Fighter, or

[09:15] they're trying to find a character that

[09:17] can give them the fundamentals and

[09:19] understanding of how to play Street

[09:21] Fighter 6 in the beginning, Cammy is the

[09:23] character. Because the thing is, she has

[09:26] great pokes, right, into drive rush,

[09:28] great like comp like light combos into

[09:31] spiral arrow, great anti-air, great

[09:34] normals, great special moves as well,

[09:36] too, dive kick, and you can use that

[09:38] against projectiles, right? The The

[09:40] spinning back fist right here, spin

[09:42] knuckle,

[09:43] uh spiral arrow always leads into you

[09:46] into a situation where you can continue

[09:48] your offense right here. So, I I do like

[09:51] her offense a lot. I think her offense

[09:52] is like amazing, right? The only thing

[09:55] that she probably doesn't have compared

[09:57] to other characters that her damage, I

[09:58] 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
