All About Cammy in Capcom vs SNK...
At first, she wasn't gonna be in it, but then they came to their senses! Shadowloo
Cammy is one of the 16 Capcom characters that are available. It's more or less the
Cammy we all know and love, but there have be quite a few modifications. First of
all, for some stupid reason, she only has 1 super move... the Spin Drive Smasher. I
don't know why they took away her Reverse Shaft Breaker and Killer Bee Assault.
Maybe she was too powerful with all that stuff. Nevertheless, she's still a
character that you want on your team... I can kick plenty of butt with her! The
second change is in Cammy's voice... I think it's the same voice actress (Miss Akiko
Kawamoto), but they redid the lines, and added a few new ones. At first, it was a
little strange, but I got used to it pretty quickly. |
SNK Groove Cammy! |

Another big thing to note about Cap vs SNK Cammy, is that
there are 2 slightly different Cammys to choose from - SNK Groove Cammy, or Capcom Groove
Cammy... you can play Cammy in the KoF style, or in the regular SF style. The 2
Cammys also have different portraits. The SNK portrait is very cool (that's it on
the right). The Capcom portrait, however, is really ugly! I know it may be
hard to believe that somebody could draw Cammy ugly, but they did... she looks goofy, and
has a ostrich-like neck. I hope you never see it! >_< |

Each character has a rival from
the other company. Originally, a Japanese magazine I got said that it was Cammy vs
King, but it's actually Cammy vs Vice. If you don't know Vice, check out this picture...
Vice is the girl with short hair. Anyhow, I don't exactly know why those two are
fighting each other, but I do know that Cammy's gonna kick her dyke ass! Like most
rival fights, Cammy and Vice have a special intro animation. Cammy does a slashing
motion across her throat and says "Lock on!", while Vice says something like
"Tell me, what is your mission...?". BTW, that slashing motion Cammy does
is also her taunt. Sometimes she says "Lock on!", and other times she says
"Come on!". |

There are actually 2 Cammy's in
the game... regular Cammy and EX Cammy. They are basically the same, except when it
comes to specials and supers. The difference with EX Cammy, is that she can do her
Reverse Shaft Breaker super move and her Cannon Strike special move, but NOT her Spinning
Back Knuckle or Cannon Drill special moves. EX Cammy is not worth playing because
you're gonna get destroyed by anybody with fireballs. The Cannon Strike has style,
but it's not very useful... the Reverse Shaft Breaker is a good move, but without the
Cannon Drill, this Cammy is at a huge disadvantage. The loss of the Spinning Back
Knuckle is a bad too because it helps to get through fireballs if you're good enough to
use it. |

There are 2 more interesting
things... Vega's bodyguard before the final fight is Mike Bison, not Shadowloo
Cammy! And the computer often teams Cammy up with Rugal. I wonder if Cammy's
switched sides? SNK is cool, and Rugal is handsome & powerful, plus he has a
pet cat (a black panther)... and Cammy LOVES cats. There's no real storyline to the
game, so it doesn't mean much, but it's kinda interesting. Other than that, there's
no big Cammy news. |

The coolest Cap vs SNK feature...
the Color Edit Mode!
This is just like the Color Edit Mode from the PlayStation's Vampire Savior EX. It's
not as cool as the Color Edit Mode from Tobal No. 2 because you're really limited with the
color scheme. The colors you can create are almost endless, but each character is
only composed of a total of 15 colors. Many colors overlap, making editing kinda
difficult. For instance, many colors in Cammy's skin are used for her hair
too. So if you try to give her blue hair, you'll end up turning part of her skin
blue too! However, there's still a lot you can do... and it's a lot of fun!
It's too bad that you're only allowed to save 2 colors per character. Anyhow, I've
spent many hours playing around with this mode. I absolutely LOVE this kinda
thing! It's as good to me as the game itself. If you have the game, here are a
few cool color schemes I created for Cammy... |

Cammy #1 - dark blue suit, black
boots & gloves, tan skin, and white hair
I think this is the best look I've been able to come up with. |
