Rashid Confirmed for Street Fighter V

I hope not every character is "cool." So far the only char who isnt straight up cool is Mika. Everyone else is not only serious but very straight forward. I need some weirdness in my SF.

Rashid seems like a dude who is having a good time with all the yahoos and the JoJo posing.

True, after watching his trailer again he is a bit more fun looking than I originally thought.

Edit and I forgot about Birdie! How did I manage that? :lol

Game needs to come out already. I downloaded DOA5:LR to scratch the fighting game itch but everything about this seems "16 year old panty boobs: the game." There's gotta be something better on ps4.

Guilty Gear Xrd is one of the best fighters made these past 5 years.

Fool.

Hey man I love Mika's design and I got no problem with nice T&A in any game, but everything surrounding doa5 is now centered entirely on the girls. The latest two to be added are a prime example: the squeaky-voiced teenagers used to be a part of the cast, but only a part of it. Kasumi, Ayane, Hitomi etc. are hot but at least they look like they want to kick ass. Marie Rose and Honoka are just pathetically girly, and as soon as I opened the game I was met with ads for sexy costume DLC and shit. I was a big fan of DOA2, but the "hot girls" part of the game has shifted from a nice bonus to the main focus.

I will try GG. Last time I tried to play an anime game (P4) I was fucking awful at it and decided I should just stick to SF.
 
Kinda reminds me of Al Rashid from Mace The Dark Age. It's been a while since we've seen middle eastern characters in games.
 
I'm liking the character already. IMO the design is okay, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. And I chuckle at the fact he is wearing a scouter in a good way.

It's over 9000! :D

GG is cool and fun and worth digging into. even if you only manage to get your ass beat non-stop (like me D:) it feels and looks and sounds great!
 
Welp, he has a scouter. Which means I'm playing him.

But really, his design is kind whatever. Reminds me of something out of Tekken. But his moveset seems cool. Happy to have him.
 
Alright, having seen more and HD footage, I gotta' say I might actually play him quite a bit on the side too. His animations look dope as hell as well.

Max mentioned an El Fuerte vibe to him. I can definitely see it. And seeing as I like Elf...
 
Characters having their own stage hasn't been a thing since SFII or something. Stage sharing has been a going on since alpha.

It mostly started in SFIII 3rd Strike I think, since New Generation did have character-specific ones still, as did 2nd Impact and the Alpha games for the most part. IV has been the worst though, as stages aren't even tied to characters at all there, or shared between them like in 3rd Strike. The newcomers in IV sorely missed having their own stage at least to help establish their identity.

Wtf really??! :(
That sucks so bad, hype deflating... Figures, the game that'll bring me back to SF after a 10 years hiatus (LOVED what I've played so far and I've never grown accustomed to SFIV), so of course it was gonna miss the one visual thing I've always liked the most -_-
Costumes are neat but I'd give away each and every one of them for more stages, oh well hopefully with the whole gen's plan of future updates coming they'll also slowly crawl back to a 1:1 ratio character: stagess

You're all most literally quoting my thoughts from when they started to unveil SFIV back in the day and it became clear that stages were not tied to characters at all.

I've always felt it was cheap of them not to put more emphasis on stages, as characters greatly benefit from having their own stage - or at the bare minimum share a stage that fits both - in terms of world building and building their identity. Let's hope they at least make enough stages or stage varieties so that each character more or less can call one of them home without seeming completely out of place. Cammy and Birdie sharing the London stage, if they actually do so in the game, should the example there.

V-Skill 1 (MP+MK) – Front Flip

Rashid performs a high flying flip over the opponent. Pressing kick during the Front Flip results in Rashid performing a divekick.

V-Skill 2 (Down+MP+MK) – Rolling Assault

Rashid closes the gap between himself and the opponent with a quick front roll. Pressing kick during Rolling Assault results in Rashid kicking upward at the opponent.

V-Trigger (HP+HK) – Ysaar

Rashid throws out a slow moving whirlwind that closes in on the opponent and causes damage to them if they touch it. While the whirlwind is out, Rashid can use it to increase his movement on any attack that propels him forward.

Yep, and I don't like that particular trope. Apart from that the character seems great, diversity was always the SF trademark.

Now we only lack a pretty boy and a crazy girl and a we'll have everything I think.
Everything? There's still many niches that are unrepresented. In a roster of 16, we don't even scratch the surface really.
 
So apparently his quotes are about finding his friend, do you think they're someone we know?
Also his job is the oldest son of an old family head :lol.

V-Trigger (HP+HK) – Ysaar
I wonder if this is meant to read إعصار (i'i-sar) meaning hurricane/tornado.
 
Alpha 2 and 3 everybody had their own stage. Alpha 3 even added stages for the console characters.

Besides Alpha1, TS was the first game where they began to use ambiguous stages for Capcom fighting games.

I'm okay with that. I just wish there were more personality to them just not SFxT personality. Alpha 2 was like the last Capcom fighting game where I adored the backgrounds.

i'm guessing it make his moves faster when it's out, it's an interesting tool that's for sure
 
He has the mobility that exceeds Fuerte, with a pressure v-trigger in the vein of Catastrophe. I can just begin to imagine the disgusting mix ups people will come up with. He will definitely be a problem in the hands of someone like Nemo.
 
Watch VesperArcade Gameplay breakdown and Rashid is probably my favourite character in the roster so far. Necalli was also good. I wish Capcom would.have more than 4 New characters in the game as I'm liking the new characters alot.
