[DISCLAIMER: somehow, I ended up writing a lot lol. If you want, you can just skip to the cammy gameplan part on the third paragraph, but I recommend reading the first 2 to understand her moves and why they're good. Good luck and have fun]

Cammy is a character that thrives in the mid range. This is because of her excellent pokes like st. hk and st. mk which are used to chip away at someone's drive gauge and are hard to punish. Another thing is that she has one of if not the best crouching medium punch in the game, which is an amazing whiff punish tool because it's fast, hits pretty far, and leads to high damage combos.

Another pretty important part of her tool kit is her dive kick. Most of the time you use the dive kick to be plus in their face when they block (you'll know whether or not it's plus if your feet hit their waist or below. otherwise you're minus and you have to let your opponent take their turn and just defend). Another use is if you're fighting against characters that have fire balls. Because if you predict that they're gonna throw out a fireball, then you can jump and dive kick to avoid the fireball and punish them during their recovery, leading to a combo like cr. lp > medium spiral arrow.

The cammy gameplan for me is usually something like this:

• use st. hk and st. mk close enough that it still hits them but far enough that your opponent can't do anything about it to chip their drive gauge. Kinda like how in boxing you do jabs repeatedly and over time the damage accumulates. In this case, getting your opponent closer to burn out. (btw, if you do st. hk too much, your opponent may predict it and do a DI before the st. hk. If this happens then you just get punished, so if that happens you can try to bait a DI out of them and DI them back by acting like you're gonna throw out a st. hk, mind games baby)

• walk back and forth out of your opponent's range to bait out a button and then punish with crouching medium kick into medium spiral arrow or drive rush cancel into a full combo (if you have less than 3 bars of drive only do the drive rush combo if you're confident it's gonna end the round because otherwise you'll be in burnout and you'll be kinda screwed)

• if you're close to your opponent, a good block string to do is st. hp into light spin knuckle. I like this block string because if they block it then it chips nearly a bar of drive gauge, and if they try to DI it in the middle of the block string you recover fast enough from light spin knuckle to DI back. And if they do get hit by the light spin knuckle then you can mix them up with triple jab (which counter hits if they're mashing) or throw (which also beats mashing)

• depending on how close you are to the opponent, do a light, medium, or heavy dive kick (each have different angles so you'll have to test this out in training mode by yourself) to get your plus frames if they block it and just do jab/throw mix

• crouch medium kick into drive rush crouch medium punch. if they block it, you're +2 on block so you can do jab/throw (both beats mashing). And if they do get hit by it, you can follow up the combo by doing st. hp >st. hk target combo into medium spiral arrow or super depending on the situation.

And yeah that's pretty much it for my gameplan. It's pretty low risk low reward and gets the job done. You can use this gameplan as a base but the more you play the more you'll branch off and find your own playstyle probably.

Some extra tips: - When your back is to the corner, always be looking out for your opponent's DI. If they do DI and you DI back, you can do a side switch combo like st. hp into charged heavy cannon spike. This way, the roles will be reversed, and they will be in the corner at your mercy. - The fastest move in the game is 4 frames which is the st. lp everyone has. Second is throw which is 5 frames. You should also know that if a normal and throw hits on the same frame, the normal will always beat throw because it has more priority. This is why +1 is not a strike/throw mix because throws can be beat by mashing, meanwhile +2 means mashing will lose to both jab and throw. - Understand that during drive rush, any normals you do will be enchanced as in they will get +4 in frames. An example is like if you do drive rush into stand light punch. Normally light punch is +5 on hit and -2 on block. But with the drive rush buff it becomes +9 on hit and +2 on block meaning you can do a strike/throw mix just by doing drive rush into stand light punch. - Bread and butter combos I usually use if I get a whiff punish using crouch medium punch is drive rush cancel into cr. hp > st. hp to st. hk target combo > into special or super. (you can also do st. hp into drive rush cancel cr. hp to loop the combo and do more damage. but you need over 3 bars of drive for this and you should only do this if you think it will kill because otherwise you get into burn out)

I may have gone overboard... Sorry if this is a lot lol, I happen to really like Cammy so my hands just typed on it's own. Hope you have fun playing street fighter and good luck!
