Street Fighter 6 Ingrid Hands-On Shows a Teleporting, Parrying All-Rounder
Ingrid's kit, with a throw-catching parry and a teleport, introduces unusual defensive tools to Street Fighter 6's roster, while the new avatar modes expand the single-player and casual match offerings.
Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
Game Spark went hands-on with Ingrid for Street Fighter 6, detailing her full moveset including a parry, teleport, and a resource system called Sun Symbols. The preview also covers two new avatar-focused modes: Avatar Random Match and Avatar Arcade.
Ingrid arrives in Street Fighter 6 with a toolkit built around Sun Symbols, a resource she stocks by using Light Sun Flare or Light Solar Flare. At four symbols, her Light Sun Flare triggers a dance that recovers Drive Gauge. Her specials include the slow projectile Sun Shoot, the anti-air Sunrise, and the parry Sun Veil, which can catch throws but has slow startup. The OD version activates instantly, making it a reversal option. She also has a three-direction teleport called Sun Vanish that includes an attack in two of its variants.
Her Super Arts add more resource interaction. SA1 Sunshine is an invincible reversal that consumes Sun Symbols on hold for a hip attack. SA2 Sun Order drops a slow projectile and lets Ingrid move freely while it is active, with held inputs increasing the number of projectiles. SA3 Cosmic Ray is a tracking beam that hits from any distance. Game Spark notes no overall battle balance adjustments were announced alongside the character.
The preview also covers Avatar Random Match, which pairs players against random avatar opponents, and Avatar Arcade, a new mode for avatar-focused single-player content. Both modes are part of the same update that adds Ingrid.
