Street Fighter 6 Fighter Pass 3 Brings Back Capcom’s Most Controversial Character

The announcement for Street Fighter 6’s Fighter Pass 3 was made in an intriguing manner during the Summer Game Fest. To everyone’s surprise, AEW International Champion Kenny Omega transformed into four characters set to join the roster later this year and in 2026. Despite Omega’s entertaining acts, they didn’t overshadow the fact that Capcom’s most contentious character is making a comeback in this DLC expansion.

1. Enthusiasts were overjoyed to see Alex from Street Fighter 3 come back, joining Elena who was exclusive to that game.

2. The comeback of Viper was appreciated too, as she hasn’t been present since Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, except for some artwork in the Story Mode of Street Fighter 5.

3. Sagat’s return brought happiness among fans, although it seems that the Street Fighter antagonist will be a downloadable character going forward, marking his second time as DLC.

The intrigue among Street Fighter 6 fans is stirred up by none other than Ingrid. Indeed, it’s undeniable that she stands as one of the most contentious characters ever developed by Capcom, alongside Nekali.

Why Is Ingrid Controversial?

Ingrid debuted in the unpopular Capcom Fighting Evolution game, being its sole original character. Her appearance as a non-canonical deity in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX stirred controversy, effortlessly overpowering M. Bison and curing Ryu’s Satsui no Hado curse.

Without a doubt, it’s intriguing to see Ingrid returning in Street Fighter 6, especially since she wasn’t initially expected. With fan demand shaping the roster, Ingrid found herself where Makoto or Sakura could have been. While the game is known for its balance, fans might express frustration over her inclusion.

When Do the Street Fighter 6 Fighter Pass 3 Characters Release?

Here they come! Sagat and C. Viper are scheduled to debut in Summer 2025 and Fall 2025 respectively. Alex will join the crew in Early Spring 2026, followed by Ingrid wrapping up the season in Late Spring 2026.

Indeed, Ingrid is the final character introduced in the DLC pack for Street Fighter 6. Use this information as you see fit.

It’s intriguing how Capcom combines the positive and negative aspects of its past in their games. For instance, Elena’s healing ability, which stirred debates in Street Fighter 4, was a clever post-trailer surprise. Who would have thought that Capcom Fighting Evolution’s reappearance in Fighting Game Collection 2 would pave the way for Ingrid’s return? It’s fascinating, isn’t it?
