Description[]

FatalLegTwister

Cammy performing the Fatal Leg Twister on her opponent.

"A throw performed from Hooligan Combination. It can grab opponents who are standing while on the ground and does massive damage."
Street Fighter 6

Executed by performing a diagonal half-circle forward motion to up-forward and pressing punch, the user spins into the air while curled into a fetal position in an arc. This move is executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near a standing, grounded opponent. The user performs a Frakensteiner on the opponent, switching sides as a result. In Street Fighter V, the input motion has changed into a more simpler half-circle forward.

It changed again in Street Fighter 6 into a quarter-circle forward. For Modern Control, the move can be performed by pressing down and Special Attack, plus any attack button while near the opponent. Additionally, Cammy sits on top of the opponent's shoulders and wraps her legs around their head. She then twists and rotates her body to swing her opponent off of their feet before releasing their head, causing them to crash on their back. The OD version results in her tossing her opponent higher in the air.

The Hooligan Combination itself is a "flying variable" move useful to confuse opponents. This is often used in mind games, mix-up and pressure, and can especially be safe on okizeme setups. The Fatal Leg Twister is a good way to close the distance against projectiles. When opponents see Cammy performing Hooligan, they try to stand and block, anticipating Cannon Strike since blocking high gives them more of an advantage than crouching block. However, that's where the throw comes in. Cammy can catch opponents off-guard and mix-up Cannon Strikes with her Fatal Leg Twister.

In Street Fighter 6, Fatal Leg Twister becomes more of a threat. The opponent can no longer crouch block all of Cammy's follow-ups since she now is equipped with an overhead option. If her opponent guesses incorrectly, Cammy can inflict massive damage using Fatal Leg Twister. Additionally, this move no longer switches sides, which means she can use this move in the corner to maintain pressure on her opponent. If Cammy hits the opponent with an OD Fatal Leg Twister (or from a held Hooligan Combination), she can hoist them higher into the air for more combo and damage potential. She can follow-up with an OD Spiral Arrow or link into Spin Drive Smasher or Delta Red Assault.
