You can punish a Spiral arrow pretty easily. You could of got a hefty combo or command throw every single time. That cammy was insane though so even if you did fight back you'd still probably loose, I think most of us would. Still, I think you would of faired better if you done what Abel does - Mixup. You need to be rolling all over the place going from command throws to change of direction to a normal throw to a c.HP to airthrow/ultra...
A lot of unsafe spiral arrows in there, especially when blocked that close, there should be no excuse for not punishing when you block them that deep.
When I read the thread name I was reminded of this borderline brutal Cammy lesbian twin BDSM pain marathon
I've always wondered how people pull off those super low cannon spikes. Is it something only doable with a joystick? Try as I might I've never been able to pull em off with my 360 controller. Maybe I'm just too slow *shrugs* I can do that at about shoulder height but never as crazy low as that Cammy was doing.
I had a fantastic Chun vs a very smart, defensive Cammy last night. Came down to the third round with both of us having a sliver of health left and I won with an FADC throw. Could just as easily have gone the other way. There are definitely some brutal Cammy players out there.
Im not sure if i want to say it out loud, but what the hell:
That jumping cannon strike isn't as safe as it looks, and he was going into blockstring combos off of it every time. When you block one coming that high off a jump arc you could command throw everything except a followup TKCS (the short hop cannon strike). He only did that specific followup once in round 2, catching one of your crouching short kicks.
Cammys air divekicks get *destroyed* by focus attack. If you time it right, theres absolutley nothing she can do except eat a crumple -> combo of your choice. The problem is getting the timing right, and not being predictable with it, as she can jumpin with a late HK and combo j.HK, s.FP, cannon strike FADC cannon strike (fadc ultra) which kills the focus. However, my friend has found the correct timing, and can cancel out every one of my jumpins with a properly timed focus attack. When i jump, he starts focus, If I dont cannon strike he holds it until im just starting to come down off the arc of the jump. If he releases it correctly, it actually hits you in the air and pushes her back to full screen, negating any jumpin attempt, neutral jumps, cannon strikes, jumping kicks, etc. The only thing left is hooligan which works if he starts doing this a lot.
Dont be confused by all the flash, she does virtually no chip damage, you can wait on a mistake from a spiral arrow too deep (there are safe ones, just none from this guy), a jumpking CS from too high, or whatever really. Dont be afraid to abuse focus, as her armor break is so pathetically slow you'll never get hit by it, and from 1/4 screen she cant break it with a spiral arrow. then its a matter of baiting her into something stupid, and using Abels high damage against her lower than average health. :)
" @Scooper: I didn't feel like I had time to punish them. I played as Ryu against this guy's Cammy for a couple and every time I tried anything it was blocked and then he proceeded to combo my ass. But I don't face Cammy a lot so I'm sure my inexperience was a factor. "Cammy has a lot of unsafe moves and several of them you could have punished. However, you sent the precedent early on that you were going to be extremely defensive and not try anything.
