Rashid General Thread: Desert Storm - second new character

Rashid’s movelist.

A bit tough to read, but readable nonetheless.

EDIT: Well, they got his CA name right lol.
Altair الطير : Which means “The Falcon”.

The correct word for it in the great Arabic language is ‘Al Nissir’ or ‘Al Saqr’. But nowadays, no one in the middle east uses those words, especially in the U.A.E or K.S.A. Which hints more at him being Emarati or Saudi. :smiley:

“Yasar” in the great Arabic language.
‘Yssar’ in the Emarati or Saudi modernized accent.

I’m sure it will all clear up when we see the Arabic language version of the game. :]

I like that he has the variant on his V-Skill and the attacks out of run… and those diagonal wall jumps. Can’t wait to try him out. He just looks like what I wanted to play while I was messing around with Cammy.

Was he wearing ghutra and thob like his rival Harda xD. Hopefully you got chance to try Rashid once the place clear up a bit. Did they clear his name pronunciation? I am not sure if its راشد or is it رشيد.

Sweet, but shame not all his moveset are named after Arabic, it would have been really cool if it did.

Vesper was right about the button mashing during special.

I like that run cancel by those command move. But, is that really a run or just a dash which looks like a run ?

@Soul

Thank you for the movelist. Did you took that picture ? If yes, have you the other characters movelist ?

Yeah , I couldn’t make out anything that sound like a command for run. Maybe his run is his dash since I don’t remember that I saw him do a normal dash from the footage available so far.

Show of hands. When reading the name of that Critical Art, who immediately thought of Fashid doing a leap of faith into some hay?

Haha nope.

Also, they didn’t clear up his name either. It’s pronunciation should be ‘Ra-shid’ it’s exactly like saying ‘Ra-shit’ but end it with a ‘d’ instead. Horrible example, i know.
‘Rasheed’ IS an Arabic name. But not an Emarati or Saudi name. ‘Rashid’, however, is VERY common in the United Arab Emirates & Saudi Arabia. One of those is most likely his country.

Rashid = راشد
Rasheed = رشيد

Nope, that’s another attendant. He posted it on Twitter.

So just to be clear, he doesn’t have a forward dash but a run, right?

Eye… seen too much.

IMO Rashid’s v-trigger helps Urien’s chances rather than hurt. It is so similar to Aegis that it means that if it were in the game it probably wouldn’t clash with the way capcom intends the game to be played. On the other hand Rashid’s v-trigger is different enough(as is the rest of Urien’s gameplay from Rashid’s) from Aegis that it isn’t a clone/replacement.

I’m liking Rashid a lot. I like Necalli but dang. If Necalli didn’t have a command grab I wouldn’t even care about him anymore.

What’s up with the scouter though? It would have made more sense for him to have goggles or anything else to shield both eyes from the wind.

Lol!! I pictured him doing the leap into sand

His dash is a run I think. Which is great. More diversity in fundamental qualities of all the fighters makes things a lot more interesting.

I hate his scouter thing and not into the jetpack or whatever that is, but otherwise he’s neat, his jump animation is crazy.

The Dubai build is coming to my country next week…

If I can get someone to cover my shift next Saturday then I’ll get to play some Rashid and hopefully find out some shit about this character.

Rashid looks like a clown and doesn’t do wind fighters justice.
I like Goenitz better. He’s got so much more swag as a cool evil priest.

That picture of the move list really clears things up. I wonder how much recovery there is on his D+V-Skill without pressing K.

So D+F after wall jump let’s you dive downward, makes sense.

His dash has to be his run, which makes sense because easy inputs SFV. You can only cancel it into 2 things though it seems.

That quick backflip has to be his backdash now, which is really cool.

Spinning Mixer “Properties change W/ Repeated Button Presses” so you can probly make it somewhat safe.

looks like you can do his dive kick without using V-Skill.

Whirlwind shot definitely has drastic startup time differences between strength used.

The only questions I have now is that EX Eagle Spike that shoots upwards. Is it the EX Spinning Mixer? or maybe an automatic
followup from the Airborne Eagle Spike? I don’t think so since he doesn’t remain flashing yellow through the whole animation.

Also those 2 command normals. I’m confused. Watching the Rashid gameplay video.

0:31 I think that’s his Flap Spin (F+MP)
0:49 what is this hop normal? He does it a bunch of times in the video
4:23 Beak Assault? Must be his overhead.

Maybe I have it mixed up.

Yep, I think the same for his command move.
The hop normal looks like his Standing Roundhouse, but without the kick animation. Maybe he is like Mika in the sense that he could use differents variations (Kick when you press the button, feint Kick if you hold it).

For the ex move, I think that’s his Ex crescendo/mixer thing and not a follow up like T Hawk’s Ex Condor Dive after an Ex Tomahawk or Cammy’s V Trigger Spiral Arrow then V trigger dragon.
Maybe there are differents variatons of that Ex move (depending of the mashing and the two buttons you press)

I know they aren’t doing character specific stages, but id really likeep a middle east like stage.

I’m guessing the hop normal is Beak Assault, the dropkick is st.hk, and the two hit thing is like you said, Flap Spin. I think the thing he’s pressing there at4:23 is his st.hp.

I’d love too see an Arabian stage too!

Something similar to these:
