|  "The Cammy White Appreciation thread. KITTY GO"
, posted Sun 21 Jul 04:12:
Ok before I start this thread I would like to get a little rant off my chest.
[RANT]
When I first started doing the appreciation threads I had in mind that the discussion would encompass everything about that character, looks, personality, and *GAMEPLAY*.
So far threads have been seriously lacking the third part. Now it isn't that I don't appreciate all the thanks for posting the art, but I wanted these threads to be a bit more meaty and maybe informative than "Nice artwork keep it up!"
So what can you do to fill the gap? Well I'm not asking you to give a frame by frame analysis of the character, just contribute anything. Your favorite combo, moves, pokes, anti air, strategies. What gameplay wise about the character do you like least, what moves do you find worthless, which incarnation of the character did you like best and why?
Hell you can even babble about some great match you had with the character, anything....
and I know we have atleast a few cammy fans on this board, and if you don't have anything to contribute about her playstyle.....for shame.
[/RANT]
Ok anyways, where was I?
Ah yes, Cammy....where to begin..I guess in the beggining.
The first time I was interested in Cammy was her first appearance in SSFII. I was excited because finally there was another female character, one that could maybe rival the awesomeness that was Chun Li.
Well when I finally played the game I wasn't all that pleased with Cammy. Though back then I was a total scrub, and since actual gameplay mechanics mean nothing to a scrub I only cared about the looks. So she was a little cute, other than that I didn't take much notice.
The next time I my interest was peaked by Cammy was MvC2.
Now, I'm not sure how this works, because quite frankly I DESPISE MvC2. Though one of the few characters that I actually enjoy playing out of the cast is Cammy. I can't say why, cause I really don't know. But like I said, i'm not a fan of the game so Cammy didn't see much action.
Then came Capcom vs SNK 2.
Now here's when I finally started to like Cammy. What first attracted me to her was her new voice. While most people seemed disgusted with it, I thought it was cute albeit a bit out of character. So I decided to take up Cammy as one of my characters. Luckily for me she turned out to be one of the best characters in the game and now is a member of 1 of my two teams (Geese, Yamazaki, Cammy) and (Rock, Maki, Hibiki).
Higher and lower tier respectively.
I'm not one of the greatest players in the world, I do consider myself good. I mainly don't contribute gameplay advice since my only competition is a few friends..so I feel awkward leading the blind when I have no serious competition myself. But hey I'll post what I find effective with her in CvS2 anyways.
Crouching Light Kick-
It's fast, it's wonderful, it's annoying and it goes into her drill.
Jumping Light Kick-
Laugh as you outprioritize your friends. Be the envy of the crowd.
Crouching Heavy Punch-
It's got great range, good for poking, hey and if you hit it's free spin drive smasher time.
Standing Heavy Kick-
More poking action, cause we all know poking is key!
(air) qcb+k-
Pressure your friends and foes alike with this move. Watch them curse as Cammy runs them down.
Favorite combos:
c.lk,c.lk,qcf+k
c.lk,c.lk,spin drive smasher
c.hp, spin drive smasher
Who needs fancy combos with Cammy?!?! Not me!
Now here's her voice file from CvS2. Also if you're wondering why I keep saying "Kitty Go!", it's something I once read at Gamefaqs. Someone posted that they thought she was saying "Kitty Go!" in her intro, when in fact she says "Here I go". It kinda stuck with me, since that cute voice saying "kitty go" is so unbearably cute I can't help but laugh.
KITTY GO!
ZE ART
Who's the other girl, isn't she from EX?
Bulleta and Cammy and those other two
Who are they?!
TELL ME
Cammy crouching
Champ likes big butts
I see nothing wrong with that
COLOR ME
My FAVORITE Cammy picture
Determined
Odd style
Lookin up
TOO SHORT!
Delta Red
More delta red
Se should be older...
Well, guess Champ isn't the only one
"Why does everyone like Chun-li?"
That coat won't help without pants.
Always with the ass shot.
A little suggestive
Well that's it..well almost. I do have one little complaint towards Capcom. I would really like to see Cammy redrawn. Not because the sprite is old, but because I'm tired of seeing her Blue Shadaloo Doll outfit. I really wish they'd bring back her classic Delta Red outfit.

I like Juni too for her innovation but I suck with her. I know she combos slightly better than Juli and I'm seriously starting to think that she should be played like a grappler.
A grappler with a teleport, projectile super, speed, a dive kick, a push block, a hooligan combination, a DP move...
Hmm... I think Juni might actually have the largest repertoire of special moves in the game besides possibly Gen with his two fighting styles. Alas, Juli on the other hand has the least, besides Guile.
Hey, so this is to become the Doll appreciation thread or something? Ah... but the website that had various pics of the other Dolls is down at the moment and my own website is Geocities so I have neither the space nor bandwidth nor direct linking ability... doh! Ah well. For now, until I can access the others, I'll give these two pics from my av.

Whoops. Forgot to include the gameplay.
Well, I play as Juni most of the time, but I'm not exactly very hard core. All I do is annoy people like heck with her human-projectile psycho streak super, really. Have yet to master how to use the hooligan combination, but teleporting into her 360 throw is fun.
Her cross scissors pressure move from her hooligan combination is the most damaging special move in the game, more so than Zangief's SPD. This is probably because it's apparently bugged. It hits twice, unlike Cammy's, resulting in double the damage which is quite a hefty chunk.
Juli's gameplay is... simplistic, unlike Juni's. Just sniping arrow a whole bunch as far as I can tell. That's the only move she has over Cammy, so it's really her only advantage over Cammy (Cammy, meanwhile, has a much larger repertoire and more stamina).
Cammy... I don't know how to play as Cammy very well. I can do fine with Juli and Juni but I do pretty horrible with Cammy. I'm not used to having her wider range of normals, I guess. Only other game I played her in is MvC2, and in that game I'm so pathetic that I play as all characters the same way so I can't gauge gameplay much (My brilliant gameplay plan: Try to hit the enemy without getting hit back. Fear me.)

whoa there are more dolls?? i never knew that, was that in alpha 3 or just background info people dug up. and does capcom have official artwork for them or do they appear in alpha 3?
The Dolls are in Alpha 3, but... the game never really tells the player that. You can see them for a split second in Juli and Juni's battle introduction when you fight Juli and Juni together in boss survival mode or as anyone who fights them as a boss, but that's about it. Otherwise, Capcom REALLY gave them the shaft in the game, to the point where they were so lazy on representing the other dolls that they just substituded Juli and/or Juni in for ALL of them. For example, the Doll that Thunder Hawk is looking for was actually officially supposed to be Noembelu, the Native American Doll, but Capcom didn't want to bother making art for her or making another playable character so they substituted Juli in her place, instead. Yeesh...
The names of the Dolls are never mentioned in-game (Of course, the names of lots of supporting Street Fighter cast are never mentioned in games).
The only known official pic of the Dolls (not much, eh?)

I have a bunch of fan arts of the Dolls but the page with them is down and my own site doesn't have the room for them. ^^;

TiamatRoar, you're an unending fountain of SF story knowledge. I give you props for that.
As for Cammy, hecks yeah she's hot, but as most people say I much prefer her in her Delta Red outfit. Her butt also looked better in her SSF2 sprite.
The first butt pic is the best out of the three butt pics. Her butt is too flat in the other two butt pics.
As for gameplay, I'm all about the poke and rush. Standing roundhouse (far) and forward, crouching strong, short, forward and roundhouse, cannon drills (that move is HARD to punish if it misses or is blocked in CvS2).
It's like BOO!

*Shrug* it bumped the thread atleast.
and yet we steer farther away from anything remotely gameplay related w00t
jeez, I'm sorry I didn't talk about Gameplay. I was just responding to Onslaughts post not the greater thread in general.... I neither play as or appreciate Cammy, what did you expect?!
but fine, Cammy gameplay hints:
[ahem] When playing as Cammy a most effective action to use is Down, Down-Foward, Foward + Reset button. This will take you to the main menu from here you can access the character select screen and pick any number of superior characters, like Sodom or Birdie.
LOL. Anyway, I do like Cammy, but I don't use her much, and prefer her Delta Red outfit which is NEVER used after SSF2 really (except for Cannon Spike). I wish they'd have used it in CvS2. Anyway, I too, liked her new voice in CvS2.
