Introduction

Cham Cham is yet to be explored to her full potential, but as a returning character from Samsho 2, her overall move sets have returned to the fans. Leading season 3, this cat girl with a boomerang has brought us yet more excitement and energy.

Cham Cham can be played in many ways. She has quite some good buttons, such as her long reaching mediums and heavies. That being said, she has longer range compared to most of the characters in the cast. She also has some tricks so she can approach in a few different ways, and make some adjustments in her game plan.

She is a fun character that is not the best, but definitely something new to hype your day.


Playstyle
SS ChamCham Icon.png Cham Cham is a flexible rushdown-character who can pester the opponent from afar or up-close.
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Good close and midrange presence: Cham Cham has undeflectable A normals with good speed and range, active D buttons that are good for stuffing pokes and solid B normals that cover the close-to-midscreen space. Her 2B can also be cancelled into her 236D for some extra damage off of pokes and whiff punishes.
  • Good anti-air: Thanks to her high-reaching air-to-airs as well as her n.5C, WFT and anti-air fireballs, Cham Cham has a variety of effective anti-air options.
  • Solid anti-fireball: Cham Cham's fireball is unique in that it does not destroy other fireballs when colliding, allowing her to knock down the opposing character in fireball exchanges. Her "demon flip" is also good for jumping over fireballs on a hard read.
  • Full-screen SSM
  • Bad heavies: Cham's C normals have slow startup and huge recovery. They are also easy to jump over and do not recoil on block, making them unambiguously punishable.
  • Bad zoning: Cham's fireballs have poor range and startup as well as enormous recovery. It is very hard for her to win fireball wars and her zoning can easily be disrespected and punished.
  • Shallow jump normals: Cham Cham's floaty jump arc combined with the poor depth of her jump normals make airborne offense difficult.
  • Bad running normals: Cham Cham's running normals are uniformly terrible and make it hard for her to establish a strike/throw game.
  • Gimmicky mix-up: Cham Cham's "demon flip" special is easy to react to and hard to set up off of knockdowns, reducing its viability as a true mix-up option. Her other mixup tools such as her 66B and 66C have very slow startup and are easy to fuzzy guard.
  • One of lowest-damaging SSM's

Gameplan

Cham Cham, as one of the newest characters, still has some good tools for a game plan. Her potential isn't fully discovered yet so let's go through a few.

Neutral

Her mediums make a great poke as they go for decent range. Her 2C is pretty fast to stop a dash and its range is almost half screen. Her 236D is pretty far to make a good punish, and can jump over some ground stuff such as Wu's trap. Her fireballs with her boomerang making a pretty solid anti-air but she can't really zone people with it as people can just dash-in and avoid the boomerang by not jumping too much. Her dashing normals do not have a long range compared to her standing ones. But her 66C is good to catch a jump and it can cross up if it's used at the right range.

Her air buttons are decent with her heavy hitting up, which can catch opponents with high jumps, and medium hitting down, which is good to use for jump-in mostly.

Her flips can follow up with a low for mix up, but just flipping without using any command is a little unsafe but it can get her out of corner. Using the B follow up after flip makes a good air to air and can make her flips a little safer.

Okizeme

Cham Cham can do a solid Oki with just her two moves: 66B and 3D. Her 66B even though has a short range but it's not too bad on block, serves as a good overhead. Her 3D with the same animation as her 66D but knocks down, makes it one of the best slide out of the ones left that knocks down.

Her flip can help her to do some Oki as well. Especially in corner, you can try to use the A or C follow up for a command grab. Though you need to be pressing the button when you are almost at your opponent for it to work, so requires some practice. But the corner can solve the problem of hard to aim. She can also flip over her opponent and do a quick left and right mix up. Pretty safe on block so she can set up for a deflect sometimes.

Cham Cham does a quick claw swipe with her paw glove.

  • A special cancellable and quick jab that's very important for Cham Cham, though it has no combo potential.
  • Pushes the opponent just out of throw range at point blank, and only -2 on block, which can set up a throw attempt.

240 Mid 26 11 - 64 +1~+11 -16~-6 25 No No Disarm No

Cham Cham does a full rotational throw with her boomerang.

  • While fairly safe on block at long range, it doesn't recoil, and it's dangerous to whiff with this.
  • Difficult to guard crush with due to its predictable use case and slow, easily deflectable startup, but she can get close enough to combo afterwards by cancelling into 623A if it connects.
  • There is a hurtbox following the boomerang until recovery. Be careful about trading hits, although some rare and impractical trade scenarios (mainly against attacks with a vacuum effect) can allow Cham Cham to combo from this attack for fatal damage.

Cham Cham throws her boomerang low to the ground.

  • Not as damaging, but shorter startup than her 5C and the hitbox travels significantly faster within its range.
  • An extended hurtbox follows the boomerang and lingers slightly longer than its hitbox. The same caveat and warning about trading with 5C applies here as well.
  • The existence of this attack makes Cham Cham's anti-air ability worse than it needs to be.

Like with n.5C, she goes for a strong upward swing.

  • Cham Cham's most damaging cancellable ground normal.
  • Despite the higher vertical hitbox compared to n.5C, it's a much less reliable anti-air. The 19f startup combined with this being a proximity normal makes it very difficult to time correctly or avoid whiffing an accidental 2C, both of which just opens Cham Cham up to free counterhit damage.

Cham Cham throws out her boomerang a short distance away.

  • Can be easily punished on whiff, and more often than not, it will. If the opponent jumped over it early enough, an SSM punish is almost a guarantee.

Cham Cham leaps forward for a full-force pouncing scratch.

  • Her go-to followup after punishing with a cancellable normal. Knocks down.
  • If she gets behind an airborne opponent, she can easily punish with this.
  • While the actual hitbox and distance traveled is the same, the activation range of 236D is halved without her weapon.
