Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers - 1993
Cammy first appears in Super SF II as one of the four "new challengers." While her story begins in the prequel to Street Fighter II -the Alpha series -her place in the Street Fighter universe was first solidified here.
This incarnation of Cammy is generally referred to as "Delta Red" Cammy, as she is a member of the elite British special forces team of the same name. The team took her in at the end of the Alpha series, the events of which caused her to lose her memory.
She enters the second World Warrior tourney after discovering M. Bison's involvement, to whom she feels a strange connection. Bison was, in fact, her creator and former master, and claims to have planted her in Delta Red.
Petite but ripped, Cammy wears a green leotard, red beret, red gauntlets, and combat boots. Cammy's popularity was relatively unchallenged by the other new Super SF II characters, the lot of which inspired little emotion among fans. Cammy went on to have significantly more appearances than her cohorts, in and out of Street Fighter games. Her popularity can most likely be attributed to all of the following elements:
