	Games - Cammy White

Cammy White is a video game character in the Street Fighter series. She first appeared in the fighting game, Super Street Fighter II which was released in 1993 as one of the "new challengers", the four new characters introduced in that title. She is the second female character character in the Street Fighter series, following Chun-Li from the original version of Street Fighter II. Out of the four "new challengers", Cammy is by far the most popular, having many more game appearances than the others, as well as more appearances in games and other media than many of the original "world warriors".

Special Note: An official statement on Cammy's last name has not been found yet. Considering she was created in a lab, there would be no use for a last name. However, she may have been given one after being picked up by Delta Red.

Changes throughout the series

Cammy has undergone a many changes over her video game career. In Super Street Fighter II, Cammy wore a green leotard and was a member of a British special forces team known as Delta Red. This classic incarnation (shown in the large picture above) is known as "Delta Red Cammy".

In the later games X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold (wherein Cammy is a secret character in the latter) she had blue leotard and a win pose that showed her saluting the sinister M. Bison. This rendering of Cammy (shown in the sprite at the top of this page) is the younger version featured in Street Fighter Alpha's prequel storyline, detailing the time when she was affiliated with the criminal syndicate known as Shadoloo. Therefore this version of Cammy can be referred to as "Shadoloo Cammy", or by her codename, "Killer Bee".

Since Shadoloo Cammy didn't have a storyline in Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, and X-Men vs. Street Fighter is not considered a true part of the Street Fighter storyline, the Killer Bee's only canonical appearance is Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Shadoloo Cammy also appeared as a playable character in , Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2, and made appearances in the endings of certain Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
characters. Since the Shadoloo Cammy sprite was designed more recently than the Delta Red Cammy sprite, the former was larger and more detailed, therefore making it an obvious choice to use in other games. Unusually, however, is the fact that the Capcom vs. SNK games take place in the Street Fighter storyline some time after Street Fighter II, the sprite in question recycled to save time and effort. The most blatantly anachronistic appearance is in the 3rd Strike endings, where there was no reason to portray Shadoloo Cammy in a time far beyond Street Fighter Alpha, because in this appearance she is rendered in a drawing, rather than a re-used sprite.

In the futuristic 3D shooter Cannon Spike, Cammy is depicted as Delta Red for player 1, and Shadoloo for player 2.

Therefore, although the "Delta Red Cammy" appeared first, "Shadoloo Cammy" predates the Delta Red version in the Street Fighter canon.

Story

Cammy's early history is unknown; her first appearance in the Street Fighter chronology was Street Fighter Alpha 3, where she was a soulless Doll sent to assassinate Dhalsim. Dhalsim used his spiritual powers to make her self-aware, and she realized that Shadaloo was controlling her. M. Bison sent Vega to observe her. When Vega confronted her, he revealed to her that she was an "experiment" and was no longer needed. Vega intentionally lost a battle to her, and she wondered why Shadoloo wanted to destroy her, since she had never committed any altercations against them. She later encountered Juli and Juni, two other Shadoloo Dolls, who lacked the benefit of self-awareness. When Cammy confronted Bison, he told her that she was meant to become his next body, after his current physical manifestation was destroyed by his own Psycho Power. Cammy managed to break the twelve Dolls free from Shadoloo's mind control, and they confronted Bison together. He explained to Cammy that she was a clone, and that if he were to die, she would die as well. Cammy fought against his psychic probing and rescued the Dolls from Bison's control with the Psycho Drive. Cammy gets the Dolls out the Shadoloo base and then falls unconscious. Vega rescued her before the base was destroyed, not wanting to allow a beautiful human to die. He deposited her on the doorstep of the British paramilitary organization Delta Red.
