Ok, excuse me for the terrible ASCII arts. The default controls for
the DC buttons are:
X=Light Punch (jab)    Y=Heavy Punch (fierce)      L=Assist 1
A=Light Kick  (short)  B=Heavy Kick  (roundhouse)  R=Assist 2
To perform Medium Punch or Kick (aka Strong and Forward), tap LP or
LK respectively a second time after the initial attack. This can ONLY
be done during a combo, or when your initial attack made contact with
the opponent, be it Blocked or not. (So tapping the LP button
repeatedly when you're across the screen from the opponent will never
produce an MP.)
You may also cross up the Punch and Kick buttons. Chain combos follow
the "zig-zag" rule (ie, LP -> LK -> MP -> MK -> HP -> HK) so tapping
a weak attack button after another attack will execute the next
corresponding command along the chain. For example, tapping the LP
button twice and LK button once will produce a LP -> MP -> MK chain.
- Tech Hits are performed by tapping B or F + HP or HK when thrown.
Can be used in air.
- Recovery Rolls are performed by [B, DB, D] + P or K just when
you're about to hit the ground.
- Taunts are perform by holding LK and tap Start on the Dreamcast,
or start alone in the arcade.
Other abbreviations
P / K    - Punch / Kick
PP / KK  - 2 Punches / 2 Kicks
QCF      - Quarter Circle Forward, execute [D, DF, F] motion
QCB      - Quarter Circle Backward, execute [D, DB, B] motion
HCF      - Half Circle Forward, execute [B, DB, D, DF, F] motion
HCB      - Half Circle Backward, execute [F, DF, D, DB, B] motion
DP       - Dragon Punch motion, execute [F, D, DF] motion
(air)    - Indicates that the move can be done in air
OTG      - Off The Ground. Indicates the move combo'd into will hit
the opponent when they're lying on the ground. Certain
"juggles" also fits into this category.
Character Switch
To switch character, press LP+LK for partner 1 or HP+HK for partner
2. The current character will taunt (they're invincible during this
time) and leave, while the your partner jumps in with an attack.
Opponent will be launched into the air if the tag-in attack connects,
and following up combos are possible.
Aerial Rave
When you hit an opponent with a Launcher and tap U. Cammy has 2
launchers, the punch launcher is executed by D or DF+HP and the kick
launcher is done by HK or DF+HK. You'll automatically Superjump to
pursue the opponent in the air with a quick combo.
Variable Assist
Assists are basically modified versions of the Team Attack feature
used in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighters. By pressing one of
the Assist buttons (A1 or A2), your respective partner will jump into
the screen and execute an Assist command corresponding to their
Assist Types (Alpha, Beta or Gamma) chosen at the Character Select
screen.
Variable Counter
When blocking an enemy's attack, perform the motion [B, DB, D] + A1
or A2. The screen will freeze for a moment as the corresponding
partner jumps in with a counter attack (predetermined by Assist Type)
as your current partner retreats. Each Variable Counter costs one
level of Hyper Combo Energy.
Delayed Hyper Combo
New feature in MvC2 that resembles the EX series' Super Cancelling.
Before the current Hyper Combo ends (whether it hits or is blocked),
execute a Hyper Combo motion for the second character on your team.
Time will pause for a few seconds as your second partner jumps in and
swap places with the current character, and attempts to continue the
combo with a Hyper Combo of their own. (Note however, the new super
is NOT guaranteed to connect. Beware of bad Hyper Combo
combinations!) You can continue this for up to 3 characters, and you
must have enough Hyper Combo Energy (ie, Super Gauges) left to
execute the desired follow up Hyper Combos. This cannot be used when
only one character in your team is alive.
Variable Combination
Press A1+A2 will result in a team super attack, where up to all 3
characters of your team jumping onto screen and execute a Hyper Combo
each (as predetermined by their Assist Type). Each Hyper Combo will
consume a level of your Hyper Combo Energy. (So if you only have 1
level, only your current character will execute his or her Hyper
Combo.) Note that a Variable Combination will not cause an active
character change like Delay Hyper Combo. Again, bad Hyper Combo
combinations can be nightmares when used in Variable Combination. If
the character's Hyper Combos are incompatible, stick to Delayed Hyper
Combos instead, where you'll have more control.
Snapback
Another cool new addition to the game is, by sacrificing a level of
Hyper Combo Energy, to knock the your opponent back into the
"reserve" team. A successful Snapback attack will force the character
that's been hit unusable (even through Assists, Variable Combination
and Delayed Hyper Combo) for a few seconds. A Snapback can be
blocked, but it can be combo'd into. Note Snapbacking an assist
character will have little effect and performing it when your
opponent has only 1 character alive will simply waste the Hyper Combo
Energy as the damage done is pretty insignificant. A Snapback is done
by QCF+A1 or A2, the assist button used determines which member will
jump in to replace your opponent.
CAMMY IN A NUTSHELL
===================
Cammy White's debut was in Super Street Fighter 2: The New
Challengers (I think.) She was a 19-year old girl who has lost her
memory. Then it was reviewed that Cammy and Bison were once lovers!!
She then abandoned Bison and joined some sorta rebel group (cannot
remember the name, the game's old.) Just a side note, Cammy is a LOT
cuter when she was in the SF2 games. She's a lot "rounder" in all the
right places.
Cammy also appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3 (and Alpha 2 Gold as a
secret character.) It was revealed that Cammy is no ordinary girl,
she was biologically enhanced and built as a killing machine! It was
also clear that Cammy was a clone of Bison.
Other appearances includes X-Men vs Street Fighter and Street Fighter
the Movie. (Ugh... Kylie Minogue...)

WHY USE CAMMY?
==============
Cammy is, IMO, an expert's (or at least an above-average user's)
choice. She takes some skill to use, but is unstoppable when
mastered. Practice is the key to use Cammy effectively, both at
trying out new combos, pokes and playing mind games. Here are Cammy's
advantages:
1) Cammy is FAST! I mean both her movement/jumping speed AND her
attacking speed. Possibly one of the fastest characters in the
whole game!
2) Cammy has one of the BEST ground dash in the game! (Ok, so maybe
not as good as Magneto's, but still excellent.) Not only is it
lightning fast, but it also covers the ENTIRE screen!
3) Has good pokes and excellent mind games
4) All those years being locked away in the closet has reduced her
width. Cammy is even smaller than Jill, so she is a lot harder to
get than most characters.
5) She totally rule in the air! Great air priority, anti-air, great
Aerial Raves and excellent OTG opportunities.
Of course, Cammy also has very many disadvantges, but she's still a
blast to play as:
1) Crap recovery (or start up) on all special moves and Hyper Combos
2) VERY limited chipping power (scrubs, keep out!)
3) Medium strength button not implemented. Some of her best pokes are
the Strongs and Forwards!
4) Cammy takes above normal damage but only deals below average
damage, you really need to utilize combos to do decent damage.
Because of this, Cammy has fairly poor lasting power.
5) Terrible Variable Combination compatibility and only mediocre
Assists.
WHITE NORMALS
=============
The damage for each move was recorded from the Training Mode, so
they're 100% accurate. Remember Capcom's Damage Reduction though. The
more hits you do, the lesser damage each hit will do (although no
hits will ever do less than 1 point of damage). I think 150 points is
100% health. This was tested on Cable, who takes regular damage.
Also, these damage are used only on human opponents, CPU controlled
characters takes about 30% less damage.
Standing LP – Damage: 3
A standard punch forward. It actually has tremendous range for a LP,
plus it comes out pretty fast. One of Cammy's best pokes. ;)
Crouching LP – Damage: 3
A standard crouching punch, had less range that standing version, and
isn't as fast. :( Decent starter for crouching combos.
Jumping LP – Damage: 3
A downward chop. Decent range, decent jump-in, but LK is probably
better. Seems to have excellent air-to-air priority, I've been able
to take down Hulk's jumping HP every single time with this, although
it still can't beat out Strider's J.HP.
Standing LK – Damage: 4
A knee to the chin area. Very little range, fast and not very useful.
Crouching LK – Damage: 3
One of Cammy's the best moves. Cammy pokes out her leg on the ground.
Has good range, speed and OTGs well. Ones of the moves you'll use a
lot (especially for OTG games) and decent poke too.
Jumping LK – Damage: 3
Cammy attacks with an outstretched leg, looks like her crouching MK
done in air. Great range and priority, use it for air-to-air and ari-
to-ground attacks alike.
Standing MP – Damage: 6
A punch using the other hand, more range blah blah. Used in combos,
but not very useful overall.
Crouching MP – Damage: 6
Like LP but uses the other hand, not much to say, combo fillier.
Jumping MP – Damage: 6
Looks just like her LP! Use it in double-hitting jump-ins with LP and
confuse the opponent.
Standard MK – Damage: 6
Cammy turns around and swings her leg backwards (she's very flexible)
at the opponent's head. This used to be a great poke, but now you
can't use it out of the blue anymore. :( Has great range, so use it
when you think other attacks won't link.
Crouching MK – Damage: 6
Cammy turns around and slides her leg on the ground, has a lot of
range, but cannot be used on its own so it's not as useful.
Jumping MK – Damage: 6
An awkward upward kick, good to use with LK as air-to-air attacks.
Standing HP – Damage: 12
A backfist, good range but slow, not a good poke. Use in combos I
guess.
Crouching HP (DF+HP) – Damage: 12
Cammy punches diagonally upwards (not uppercut). This is Cammy's
launcher and is, IMO, more useful than her other launcher. It has
more horizontal range than it looks (unlike her other launcher) and
decent vertical range. Use a lot.
Jumping HP – Damage: 12
A downward hammer punch, ok jump-in.
Standing HK – Damage: 14 (DF+HK Damage: 12)
Cammy does an almost vertical handstand and stretches both of her
legs upwards. Has similar properties as Chun Li's standing HK. Crappy
horizontal range (but better than Chun Li's), great vertical range
and excellent priority. :) It's a good counter, plus you can get a
free Aerial Rave afterwards. Otherwise, if you want to perform Aerial
Raves chained after ground attacks, use her crouching HP instead.
Crouching HK – Damage: 12
Cammy supports her body with her hands on the ground, as she sweeps
the opponent with both legs. Knocks down, but has crappy range
compared to other characters'.
Jumping HK – Damage: 12
Cammy turns her back and stretch out her legs, almost a split. Very
good range and comes out instantly (unlike Jill's). Good jump-in and
other air-to-air attacks.
Steel Slicer (B+HK) – Damage: 12
Cammy does her handstands again and sends out her leg towards
opponent's head. GREAT range, decent speed, good poker. Just remember
that it's still a HK, so use with caution. It's cancellable and super
cancellable.
Suplex (Punch throw) (air) – Damage: 16
Cammy grabs the opponent with a backbreaking suplex. It throws the
enemy towards the other end of the screen. You can dash in and OTG
them (with a C.LK) and combo them after this, so it's worth
performing (if throwing is not considered cheap over where you play.)
It helps if they're in a corner, because you'll end up closer to
them. Dunno about the air version though.
A note about the air version however, Cammy will switch sides with
the opponent and you can OTG them after you've hit the ground, and
can get up an opportunity for another Aerial Rave. Yay!
Frankensteiner (Kick throw) (air) – Damage: 16
The Frankensteiner leaves the enemy right next to Cammy, but you
don't recover fast enough to do anything. The air version is exactly
the same. So the Suplex is more fun both in air and on the ground.
Snapback – QCF+A1 or A2
Cammy swings a double hammer punch at the enemy's head. This used to
ber her close standing HP (in Alpha series too) but they've cut it
out. It's never been useful either. It has practically no range
compared to other characters' Snapbacks. It has the same range as
Cammy's standing LP!! Use caution when you want to use it.
Taunt – LK + Start (Dreamcast) or Start (Arcade)
Cammy slides her hand across her chest and says "Lock on!" Decent
recovery but does not hit.
WHITE SPECIAL MOVES
===================
Cannon Drill (air) – QCF+K
1 Hit, Damage: 14 (LK), 16 (HK)
Cammy spins her body and uses the momentum to send her body towards
the enemy like an arrow above ground. Her heels are charged with
psycho energy. The LK version only carries Cammy about halfway across
the screen, while the HK version goes full screen. Cammy's velocity
is quite fast, so you can counter many moves with Cannon Drill. Bear
in mind that this move has bad recovery, especially when blocked so
make sure you get this to hit. (The HK version takes longer to
recover.)
Since it has great range and is fast, the Cannon Drill can combo off
any of Cammy's ground chains. Is also OTGs well, especially after a
crouching HK. In the air, the Cannon Drill can catch opponents off
guard, but it's kinda hard to aim. It serves as a great Aerial Rave
ender though.
A good way to use the air Cannon Drill is to jump back when the enemy
is jumping at you, and send out the Cannon Drill in the air. You'll
be surprised at how often it catches them off guard. (Hehe, something
I've learned while playing Juni in Alpha 3.)
When an enemy is hit, they get launched into the air for some reason,
which will open up some combo opportunites. The HK version sends them
higher in the air. You cannot OTG after this, even though you do
recover fast enough. You can also use the Cannon Drill to travel long
distances quickly, especially in the air. Use it like an air-dash if
you want, and it's great to use to get behind an opponent who has
missed you with a beam super.
Cannon Spike – DP+K
1 Hit, Damage: 18 (LK), 20 (HK)
Cammy ascends into the air in an arc with one leg straight up. This
is Cammy's uppercut move and it's been very reliable in every single
game. The LK version makes Cammy ascend about 1.5 character height
into the air while the HK version takes her almost twice as high!
When she reaches the peak, she backflips and recovers. The LK version
reaches a quarter screen length at the peak, while the HK will reach
halfway across the screen at the peak! (Although you have to stand at
least about 1 Cammy-width away to hit a grounded opponent.)
Like all uppercut-like special moves, it leaves the user VERY
vulnerable when it whiffs or is blocked, so make sure it hits! When
blocked however, Cammy will not ascend to the full height, instead
she will bounce off the enemy right away. (It still leaves her open
though.) It's an excellent anti-air, does good damage and can OTG!
(Although it has some very strange OTG properties.) For combos, I'd
advice that you stick to Cannon Drill instead, because of the range.
Cannon Strike – In air, QCB+K
1 Hit, Damage: 14 (LK), 16 (HK)
Cammy performs a psycho energy-charged stomp kick. There's a slight
activation lag, but the actual move is very fast, can catch many
people off guard occasionally. It's very similar to Rogue's stomp
kick, except that since it's a special move, it can be canceled into
from a normal and chips.
The recovery (when it connects) is decent, but you don't seem to be
able to use it as a jump-in and combo off it. You can however, cancel
into this after a jump-in attack while still in the air. If however,
Cannon Strike is blocked, Cammy will bounce backwards like a blocked
Cannon Spike and is left vulnerable.
Cannon Strike can only be hypercancelled into Killer Bee Assault and
ONLY during a super jump, although it will not combo so it's
pointless. Don't abuse this move because people can see it coming if
you use it a lot and you will be punished, and no, this is not a good
substitute for a regular jump-in either.
Cannon Revenge – QCB+P
1 Hit: Damage: ??
Cannon Revenge is Cammy's counter, which is similar to Jill's Baretta
Counter move. When activated, Cammy will stand still while glowing
white for a couple of seconds. If she gets attacked, Cammy will
either counter with a mini-Cannon Spike (if you used the LP version)
or a crouching fierce knuckle (when done with HP), while taking no
damage herself.
Cannon Revenge is, IMO, much more useful than Jill's crappy Baretta
Counter, as it's more reliable than. Cammy will counter immediately
upon getting hit (no stupid "pushing".)
Now which version is better? IMO, the LK version (Cannon Spike) is
more reliable as it has good priority and is very fast, a well
rounded counter, especially against air attacks. The HP version
(crouching fierce) is not bad either and it will launch them into the
air (although you cannot follow up with an Aerial Rave
unfortunately.) I am not sure if you can cancel it into a Killer Bee
Assault though, I need to check on that further. Of course, the
counter does miss the opponent sometimes due to some obscene
properties (such as Hayato's Shiden) but both versions works very
well as anti-airs. It gets it job done for ground attacks most of the
time, but HP often misses some crouching attacks. Be careful abotu
supers, ultra priority and especially multipul hitting moves though,
otherwise, the Cannon Revenge makes a fine confuser and anti-air.
Axel Spin Knuckle – QCF+P
2 Hits: 14 (LP), 16 (HP)
Cammy takes a spinning step forward and delivers a backfist charged
with psycho energy not unlike her standing fierce. It's usefulness
has been debated for a long time ever since Cammy's debut in SSF2. On
one hand, there's a great delay at the start up as Cammy spins
forward, especially vulnerable to crouching attacks. But on the other
hand, the "spinning" animation has limited invincibility (and it
keeps on getting toned down with every game, I remember this had TONS
of invincibility in SSF2) which lets Cammy pass through some attacks
and knock the enemy down.
The invincibility seems to only show up if you've executed this move
at the right time (usually it's at exactly the same moment as the
opponent pulling off his move) but it's very hard to time, so ignore
the invincibility of this move if you're not good. I do not know if
it goes through projectiles anymore (probably still does) but don't
expect it to go through most Hyper Combos and beam attacks. Also,
Cammy will pass right through the opponent if they uses a body-attack
move (as opposed to projectiles) and ends up behind them, which maybe
a blessing or a curse, depending on the situation.
The damage done isn't great and the start-up delay makes it
uncomboable, but there's still some use to this move. The LP version
lets Cammy travel about a quarter of the screen before the backfist,
while the HP version goes through about halfway across the screen,
but it has more delay at start-up. One use of this is to counter
enemies by taking advantage of the invincibility frames, if you can
time it right that is.
Another use I've found for this move is chipping a blocking opponent.
The lag for the LP is shorter so I often cancel a blocked crouching
roundhouse into a jab Axel Spin Knuckle to chip for 2 ticks of
damage. Some opponents may not be fast enough to react but it still
does leave Cammy semi-vulnerable, so don't use it that often. The
range is also just right after the blocked crouching HK as it leaves
Cammy just enough room between her and the enemy to avoid being
tripped.
Hooligan Combination...        – QCB+K
...(Cancel)                    - P
=> 0 Hit, Damage: 0
...Combination Cannon Strike   - press K in air
=> 1 Hit, Damage: 14
...Cross Scissors Pressure     - press P near airborne opponent
=> 1 Hit, Damage: 18
...Fatal Leg Twister           - press P near crouching opponent
=> 1 Hit, Damage: 18
...Razor Edge Slicer           - do nothing
=> 1 Hit, Damage: 12 (LK), 14 (HK)
It just wouldn't be a combination without the many options. When you
execute the Hooligan Combination, Cammy will roll into a ball and
launch herself at the enemy in an aerial arc. The LK version goes
slightly below halfway across the screen while the HK version goes
all the way across. You can execute the follow-up commands anytime
during which Cammy is in the air. If enemy is too close, Cammy will
likely to land behind them, allowing her to be countered, so use this
move sparingly.
* By canceling (or a missed attempted throw command when the enemy is
not close enough), Cammy will flip and recover in the air, allowing
her to block after a short inactive phase. Use it early if you
anticipate the enemy's attack. Also good to confuse the opponent
into executing a super, allowing you to recover and block, making
them waste a level of HC Energy.
* The Combination Cannon Strike looks exactly like her regular Cannon
Strike, it's fast and can be used unpredictably. One of the best
uses for this is, when you think you've misjudged the range and
about to land behind them, execute this when you're above the enemy
to surprise them. Also good if your opponent is walking towards you
to avoid being thrown. Execute this while they're walking to nail
them. If blocked, Cammy will bounce away like a regular Cannon
Strike.
* Cross Scissors Pressure and Fatal Leg Twister are both throws, so
you need to be close to the opponent for them to connect. Against
standing opponents, you'll get a Cross Scissors Pressure if you
grab them when Cammy is above their waist, and Fatal Leg Twister if
you do it below. The damage remains the same though, and it's kinda
hard to tell them apart.
Cross Scissors Pressure: Basically her Frankensteiner (K) throw
Fatal Leg Twister: Looks similar, but it seems that Cammy grabs them
at their waist section
The Cross Scissors Pressure acts almost exactly like Cammy's K
throw, meaning OTG-ing is not possible. Fatal Leg Twister however,
can be OTG'd, especially in corners, so try to get that one to
connect often.
* I recommend not to over use the Hooligan Combination. Use it once
in a while to surprise the enemy, and they'll likely be sleeping
while trying to block it, and that's when you should grab them.
From personal experience, you'll be surprised at how often I see
this move coming and block. When used well, the Hooligan
Combination can be a major pain in the a-double-s.
* This move is also very useful on turtlers and good blockers, the
ones who just block and counter all day long. Whip this out and try
for a Fatal Leg Twister, then combo them like there's no tomorrow.
* The Razor Edge Slicer is a slide at whch Cammy attempts to trip the
opponent. It hits low, but takes a tick to execute when she lands,
which gives it away. It also has bad recovery when blocked.
However, you can hypercancel before the slide comes out, which may
or may not surprise your opponent. I personally don't like this
move. Can slide under some projectile attacks, but the throw
commands are more useful IMO.
Double Jump – U when in air
Very useful. Use it to stay in the air longer to avoid contact or
whatever. Jump back to assume a defensive position, or forward to
advance on an opponent. Also excellent to get behind an opponent who
has missed you with their Hyper Combos.
WHITE HYPER COMBOS
==================
Spin Drive Smasher – QCF+KK
Up to 10 Hits, Damage: 41
Cammy performs a beefed up Cannon Drill into a Cannon Spike. Shoots
across the screen at very high velocity, so it's very useful at
countering whiffed attacks. Cammy travels at fairly low altitude
though (like that of a Cannon Drill) so don't expect to hit enemies
in the air.
When close, this hits for 10 times on its own, however, if you
perform it at the other end of the screen, it will only hit 8 times
but you get the same amount of damage! (Go figure!) Best done when
the enemy is near a corner, because sometimes they'll be launched
into the air after a few hits and the rest of the super will miss.
(Occurs mostly during combos.)
Spin Drive Smasher is a good Hyper Combo to tag at the end of every
ground combos, but it will not link after a regular Cannon Drill
(unless the Cannon Drill whiffs.) If you push the opponent too far
away with your ground combo, this super will likely to whiff after a
few hits for some reason. It is good super, thanks to its
comboability, but clearly has many annoying properties. Decent damage
too, with narrow OTG opportunities afterwards.
When blocked however, Cammy will rocket uncontrollably into the air,
leaving her very vulnerable. Try not to pull it out at random else
you'll pay. Only use it in combos or countering whiffed attacks. Not
very good chipping power either. Poor DHC compatibility and horrible
VC compatibility. Also pretty good to take care of Assist characters.
Reverse Shaft Breaker – QCB+KK
27 Hits, Damage: 44
While Alpha 3 has borrowed Killer Bee Assault from XvsSF, the Reverse
Shaft Breaker has been taken straight out of Alpha 3 to compromise.
This super looks like a vertical Cannon Drill, although Cammy does
not ascend very high into the air. (About as much as her LK Cannon
Spike.)
A good anti-air super, but has poor horizontal range. Unlike the
other vertical Hyper Combos, the Reverse Shaft Breaker will always
inflict a solid number of hits and sounds amount of damage. So it
makes an excellent DHC move if your previous partner takes the
opponent into the air with their Hyper Combo.
The Reverse Shaft Breaker has minimal, if any, vacuum properties
that's present in some of the other vertical supers. Good to use
after cross-ups as Cammy will be closer to opponent
