Cammy is a very quick character on all fronts with many uses for the Focus Attack Dash Cancel which makes her a great choice if you are looking to play a rushdown character. She has some very tricky high low and throw mix ups and even some of her more basic Focus Attack Dash Cancel combos can take off a lot of health. Her Ultra can be used to punish moves on reaction but you cannot juggle into the full Ultra like some other characters are able to.

Controlling the Ground
Cammy can control the ground best when she is about one character distance away from her opponent using her Cannon Strike and normals moves, though she has many other ways to close in on her opponent when she is outside of this range such as her Hooligan Combination and Spin Knuckle.
Her Cannon Strike can only be performed when jumping forward; however, the EX Cannon Strike can be performed from a vertical or backwards jump. This is a great move to pressure opponents who are in front of you. It comes out a a quick speed and you can combo into a number of different moves once it connects such as her standing Hard Punch. The key is to execute the Cannon Strike just as soon as you jump forward, and not as much when you are well into the air. The move itself is somewhat safe if you perform it correctly, although you can be reversaled by a Dragon Punched out of it if you do not time it correctly. The EX Version gives you more time to follow up with an attack and comes out a bit quicker overall making it a good option when you have the meter; in particular, jumping up/back and throwing this out can surpise someone who tries to rush in and gain ground while you're in the air. This move will trade with Dragon Punches, so be careful against Ryu and Sagat because they can follow up with an Ultra even when their uppercuts trade. You can also use this move in succession on the other side of the screen to build EX meter. Also, if the Cannon Strike is blocked, you can mix in a Focus Attack Dash Canceled Cannon Spike to hit them out of their throw attempts and still be safe even if they continue to block.
Her Spiral Arrow hits low so it can be a good move to catch opponents who are blocking high, but it is unsafe when blocked low and can be punished with a number of moves so be careful with this move. Typically it is better to combo into it off of one of her crouching normal moves, or use the Hard Kick version and Focus Attack Dash Cancel the first hit and dash in for a combo if it hits or a throw if it is blocked.
Against projectile throwing characters her Quick Spin Knuckle is a great move to use to pass through their fireballs. The first hit can be Focus Attack Dash Canceled so use this to your advantage perform a combo on hit or go for a throw when it is blocked.
Speaking of which, Cammy's Hooligan Combination can set up a number of different mix-up opportunities. It is best used against opponents who are standing or blocking high. You can grab them by pressing throw command or simply press nothing to get a low attack which you can Focus Attack Dash Cancel and follow up with a combo on hit or simply go in for a throw if they block. The EX Version is great in that it travels full screen and you can grab opponents who are throwing fireballs from very far away.
Her Hard Kick and Medium Kick are her two farthest reaching normal moves so they are good moves to poke with. Her standing Medium Punch does not have as much range but you can cancel into her specials and supers from it so it can be a good move to pressure with as well. Her crouching Medium Kick has decent range and can be canceled into her special and super moves too.
