Review of Ingrid

Where does this all begin? Ingrid was an original character for a canceled game called Capcom Fighting All-Stars, slated to launch in 2003. While this game did not proceed past development, she made her official first appearance in the ill-fated crossover game, Capcom Fighting Jam ("Evolution" in the west). This game included characters from multiple series, including Street Fighter 2, 3, Alpha, Darkstalkers, and Red Earth.

Even though her first gaming appearance was a dud, Ingrid became popular enough to get added to the roster of Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX on the PSP. Furthermore, she comes up a lot in Capcom lore. For example, the UDON comic book prologue to Street Fighter X Tekken revealed that she created the mysterious Pandora box central to the game's plot. So, perhaps Ingrid's the connective tissue tying Capcom's fighting game universe together.
