World fighters assemble, a storm is coming. Rashid, wielding the power of wind, will debut in Street Fighter 6 on July 24th, whether it’s Fighting Ground or World Tour single player mode. Rashid’s every move is as fast as a whirlwind, and his posture is even more swift in battle, making it difficult for any opponent to come close – but if they like or subscribe, they can fight.
Rashid, who debuted in Street Fighter V, returns to the series and embarks on a journey to find a new perspective on life. One day after he had a sudden epiphany, he decided to fight with the strongest fighters in the world, and recorded the mystery behind their mighty power. So he started this journey as a film creator. He always carries a camera with him that can be used to broadcast live, thoroughly capturing the true essence of power.
Meet Rashid in World Tour mode! Your avatar can not only learn moves from him, talk about life with him, but also increase the bond between you by giving gifts and completing tasks. As long as your bond with Rashid reaches the upper limit, you can get his second outfit, but all his fans and followers should be familiar with this outfit. Once you’ve learned the moves from Rashid, head to the Battle Lobby to see what you can do in Avatar Battle.
Game Director Takayuki Nakayama states, “Rashid’s hairstyle and bangs were a challenge that took countless trials and errors to pull off successfully. Also, since we wanted to emphasize his wind control and parkour prowess, we chose Use a lighter and more airy fabric. Also we mentioned that he is a footuber, so the camera position will be mounted on the belt on his chest, and a smart watch device is embedded in his bracelet to show that he is a footuber A character who loves to use digital products. As for the sandals, the air feeling is added to emphasize the lightness of his jumping and the sense of parkour action. Whether it is his gloves, sandals or other accessories that can be seen when attacking , all of which are painted with the pattern of an eagle’s beak.”
Rashid’s move design retains a lot of moves from “Street Fighter V”, but the creativity in the “wind change” part brings new inspiration and gameplay to this character. Rashid’s signature ability to soar through the floor is still there, but now he has more options to play the hurricane.
Mr. Nakayama gives an in-depth look at what Rashid will be doing in Street Fighter 6:
“He has a unique fighting style, which creates distinct character characteristics. Not only does he have parkour ability and agility, but he can also use whirlwind/cyclone to play his opponent in the palm of his hand. He can move forward while striking forward. With various attacking skills, coupled with his agile and smooth running steps, he can approach opponents from various tricky angles.
There are some differences in his normal moves, and the ease of execution allows him to maintain the balance of the situation in the battle. In “Street Fighter 6”, we retained Rashid’s basic controllability from “Street Fighter V”, but at the same time increased the number of stunt moves and cyclones, making his overall range of motion more dynamic.
For example, he has a new stunt “Arabian Cyclone” that can be performed alone. Rashid can use a roundabout kick to shock a small whirlwind to attack the enemy. In addition, this can also be used as a pre-skill, which is similar to the two old V-Skills “Rolling Assault” and “Wing Stroke” in “Street Fighter V” Use in combination. If you can combine these moves to make combo skills, it will be very exciting, and we recommend you to give it a try.
In addition to the above moves, Rashid also has the ability to create and use whirlwinds/cyclones to improve his flexibility and enhance his ability to move. Rashid’s V-Trigger I in “Street Fighter V” can summon a large forward-moving whirlwind, which now corresponds to his level 2 super nirvana “Ysaar”. As in the previous game, whenever Rashid’s stunt intersects with a large whirlwind, its characteristics can be changed. His “Whirlwind Shot” has the ability to create a cyclone when it is pressed and charged. The “Arabian Cyclone” just mentioned also has an OD version, which allows Rashid to create a cyclone and win. Using Cyclone can expand his ability to balance the situation, and can also perform a series of combos and combos, giving players more flexibility to play their own personal style.
It’s the combination of these elements that makes Rashid such a unique character, and we hope you enjoy speeding through the screen. “
Rashid also has a double jump move called “Arabian Skyhigh”, which definitely leaves opponents clueless as to where he will land. Rashid can use “Side Flip” to switch positions, and just connect “Front Flip” to fly again. What he wants to bring to players is the flexibility to play with various angles.
Rashid’s level 1 super nirvana is “Super Rashid Kick”. Rashid can kick forward and upward in the air, causing a fatal blow.
As for Rashid’s level 3 super nirvana is “Altair”, he will spin his body and summon a storm to roll the opponent into the air, and then knock the opponent down with a powerful wind blow like a torrential rain.
Players who purchase the Year 1 Character Pass will be able to unlock Rashid on July 24th. He can also be used by players who own the Deluxe or Ultimate editions. If you are still hesitant, you can also use the Rental Fighter ticket (Rental Fighter) to experience Rashid for one hour for free, as long as you have the Fighting Pass, you can get this ticket.
Speaking of which, Rashid is also featured in the Fighting Pass. From now until July 23, you can get the Fighting Pass, which contains the highly anticipated new Footuber related items and appearance themes.
The storm warning is officially issued, and Rashid will appear in Street Fighter 6 on July 24th. Looking forward to seeing you again on the battlefield.*turns off live broadcast*
