Cammy

History

Cammy first made an appearance as one of the four new characters in Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers.  She is also the only one of these newly introduced characters to make appearances in many other Street Fighter games including some vs. games and the Alpha games. Her next significant role in a game that added story to her character was the Street Fighter Alpha Series.

Story

“Everything is wrapped in a white light. This meeting…Her recovered memories. Cammy gets a new memory implant recovered from the Shadaloo base, finally knowing her true power as an assassin. This experiment has truly succeeded expectations! Begin M project release preparations. Muhahaha!! She could destroy an entire country alone!”

 In the introduction for Cammy in Street Fighter Alpha 3 it is said that Cammy is now a full fledged brainwashed assassin for Shadaloo that has been enhanced by biotechnology. However it is implied that Shadaloo has not perfected their control over her mind. In a brief sequence Cammy has an encounter with Dhalsim where they exchange some words.  While Cammy is standing by to measure Dhalsim’s fighting data he looks into her mind and questions her motives, suggesting that her suppressed mind is trying to come out.  With this Cammy demands Dhalsim to leave her alone and she continues on her fighting path, her mind slowly breaking free of Bison’s mind control.

Latter, Cammy is caught off guard when she meets Vega and he explains that he has been sent by M. Bison to  eliminate her.  After Vega’s defeat Cammy is still confused as to why her master would want her eliminated. When she arrives to fight Bison he asks why she did not finish off Vega and then explains to her  it is because she is becoming conscious of herself, his mind control is slipping and this is why she is useless.Before Cammy is able to fight Bison he sends Juli and Juni to take care of her.  Bison refers to them as his ' dolls' because they are part of the same mind control project that Bison used to control Cammy.  Once Cammy beats Juli and Juni, Bison explains that he is tired of seeing a mere copy of himself and that Cammy was made using his DNA.  After Cammy destroys Bison he makes it clear that one day he will be back and once again in her mind, Cammy proceeds into the Shadaloo compound to destroy the ‘Psycho Drive’ and free anyone in its control.  On the way she meets Chun-Li who is trying to gather evidence on Shadaloo and destroy Bison herself.  Cammy in a confused state has nothing on her mind but destroying the Psycho Drive.  With a massive explosion the Shadaloo compound is no more and Chun-Li is left with no evidence on Shadaloo and left wondering if that confused little girl she saw survived.

This is the large ‘accident’ that caused Cammy to forget her past as talked about in Street Fighter II.  

 However the ending to Street Fighter 2 differs from game to game.  In the English localized version of ‘ Super Sttreet Fighter II:  The New Challengers’ it is said that Bison and Cammy were lovers in the past instead of the big secret being that Cammy was made from Bison’s DNA and was a brainwashed assassin for Shadaloo, as proposed in Street Fighter Alpha 3.  However the Street Fighter series is no stranger to its story and character being altered in the localization process from Japanese to English.It should be noted that this ending was corrected in Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, with Cammy learning she was made from Bison’s DNA and was once a malicious assassin for Shadaloo known to Bison as Killer Bee.  After finding this out Cammy’s MI6 team known as Delta Red consoles her and lets her know that no matter what has happened in the past, she is always part of the team.
