The wheels at Capcom don’t seem to stop. This year alone, they’ve released multiple games, like Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and now they continue their support to already released projects like Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter 6 releases four new characters over the course of one year, naming and selling this content as a Year Pass. Currently, the game is in Year 3, and its fourth and final character to join the roster is Ingrid.
Ingrid is one of the most mysterious characters in Street Fighter. One of the few known details is that she is of cosmic origins, making her one of the most powerful fighters in the series lore. She first appeared in Capcom Fighting Evolution in 2004 and then in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX in 2006. Now, she is back in Street Fighter 6, and brings the following abilities:
- Sun Crests: Ingrid infuses herself with the power of the sun up to four times to imbue her attacks with additional hits, range, and follow-up options.
- Sun Shot: Ingrid shoots a dazzling ball of light in front of her that briefly pauses before launching at a different angle or speed, depending on the button pressed and how long it is held.
- Sun Flare: Ingrid shoots a beam of light forward with both heavy and light versions that respectively spend or gather Sun Crests for combo options.
- Solar Burst: A downward beam of light Ingrid projects diagonally while in the air. Like Sun Flare, the light version stores a Sun Crest, and the other versions use Crests for amplified properties.
- Sun Rise: A spinning attack with light, medium, and heavy variants that can open up powerful combo opportunities.
- Sun Veil: A counterattack that nullifies incoming damage and knocks the attacker down. While it can absorb projectiles, it won’t stop Super Arts or any attacks that hit multiple times.
- Vanishing Sun: A short-range teleport with three different destinations to confuse opponents while attacking or create distance on defense.
- Shining Sun: Ingrid’s Level 1 Super Art Sun, where she attacks with a series of magical kicks.
- Order of the Sun: Ingrid’s Level 2 Super Art allows her to fire a beacon of light into the sky, and depending on the button pressed, a shower of solar power rains down upon her foes.
- Cosmic Ray: Ingrid’s Level 3 Super Art gives a glimpse of her ultimate power as she fires an energy beam capable of reaching opponents even on the other side of the screen.
Ingrid will be officially arriving on May 28 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. She will be available for players who own the Year 3 Pass, or can be acquired in-game for 350 Fighter Coins (approximately $7). Ingrid’s Outfit 1 showcases her new look while traveling through dimensions, while Outfit 2 reflects her classic appearance, complete with a purple school uniform.
