Description

Cammy's Hooligan.

Executed by performing a diagonal half-circle forward motion to up-forward and pressing punch, Cammy launches herself toward her opponent and spins into the air while curled into a fetal position in an arc. In Street Fighter V, the input motion has changed into a more simpler half-circle forward.

The arc of Cammy's launch is determined by the punch button pressed. The Light version has Cammy launching into a higher vertical arc, rather than horizontal. The Heavy version has Cammy launching herself directly at the opponent. The Medium version has Cammy launching at an arc in between the Light and Heavy version. However, the EX version will automatically track the opponent at fast speeds.

While spinning through the air, various follow-up moves are available.

If no follow-up command is pressed after the Hooligan Combination, the user will perform the Razor's Edge Slicer (レイザーエッジスライサー, Reizā Ejji Suraisā^?), also known as Lazer Edge Slicer, a sliding kick to trip their opponent. Razor Edge Slicer is also used by Decapre as a follow-up of Scramble. When the EX version is performed, the hits increase from one to three.

The Cross Scissors Pressure (クロスシザースプレッシャー, Kurosu Shizāsu Puresshā^?) is executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick when next to an airborne opponent. The user will grab the opponent from midair via hooking one of their legs over them and crossing them in between both of their legs as a result. Then they spin them through the air in an arc and finally pin them to the ground with a twin-legged stomp whilst rebounding off.

The Cannon Strike (キャノンストライク, Kyanon Sutoraiku^?) is executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and kick. This can only be done in Ultra Street Fighter IV and many of her crossover appearances. Cannon Strike is also used by Decapre attack as a follow-up of Scramble. When the EX version is active, the EX version of Cannon Strike will be performed when the kick button is inputted. In Street Fighter V, the move is performed by just pressing any kick button while Cammy is airborne during her Hooligan Combination.

Assault Roll

Assault Roll is one of follow-up attacks Hooligan Combination which can only be done on the Omega mode in Ultra Street Fighter IV. The player needs to press the kick button to cancel their attack. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Cammy also possessed this attack, which was called Cancel.

Tactics

The Hooligan Combination is the first of its kind in the Street Fighter series, being a "flying variable" move, and is useful for either confusing an opponent, throwing if blocked against or striking if counter-attacked. This is often used in mind games, mix-up and pressure, and can especially be safe on okizeme setups. However, its "Tiger Knee"-style input makes it difficult to use on the fly, preventing it from being initially abused without enough practice. 

Players have to choose the right version of Hooligan Combination for the right situation to get the most out of Cammy's offensive pressure. The Light version flies high and does not travel forward much. While it is slow and easy to react to, Cammy can create cross-up mix-up situations with this version, thanks to the high arc and short distance. 

The Medium version can leap over standing enemies, even in the corner. It is usually the recommended version for applying offensive pressure. If the opponent guesses wrong or too early, Cammy can take advantage and deal a lot of damage.

The Heavy version travels the furthest but also flies the lower. Unlike the Light and Medium versions, it does not vault over standing opponents. Still, it can be useful for covering great distances and closing the gap quickly.

The EX Special version introduced in the Street Fighter IV series has the user move faster and track the opponent, making it a good counter to projectiles.

In Street Fighter V, the EX Version is very fast and can be hard to react to. It locks on to the opponent, no matter how close or far they are from Cammy. If she hits her opponent with EX Cannon Strike afterwards, it sends the enemy into spinning motion and switch sides in most cases, allowing for juggles or mix-ups.
