Rashid General Thread: Desert Storm - second new character

A moonlit arabian night would be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

As a stream monster, I’m sure I’d enjoy seeing it never and going back to a white doorless room with lines

What if the moonlit stage took place on a tiled floor and so had lines

For sure, like if there was a stage like the background of his splash art that would look amazing.

And its cool to see his official movelist. I had a feeling his spins were mashable.

Could be.
But we could see every standing normals during the gameplay video and I don’t think that Helena like double descending slap isn’t the Forward HP. I’m not saying you’re wrong (because that’s a new character and I know as much as you) but that seems crazy to me that a long startup move like that could just be a Standing Fierce (especially since it looks like an overhead)

For me :

LP is this : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/37/1442098265-lp.png (well, the screen was taken during the recovery)
MP is the Yun style move : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/37/1442098273-mp.jpg
Hp is that Claw like move : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/37/1442098275-hp.png (sorry for the shitty quality)

Well, speaking of Claw, his command move looks like that so that could be the Beak Assault.

I have that mentally pegged as his cr.hp as it looks a lot like Cammy’s. Then he has a Nash styled anti-air cr.mp

Makes sense.

I think Rashid is a pretty cool character! … But, I really need to do research on this character. A character I would like to sub in the near future.
Also…

Dang, kind of hoping he was a charge character, oh well he still looks awesome he kind of reminds me of Pyron from the Vampire series.

Why does his VA sound so American

It’s probably better that way. SF English voices can be bit or miss with accents. I can’t stand Fuerte and Abel’s English voices due to their shitty accents.

too bad his projectile isnt called halalken

Kinda just wish SF had at least an option to let characters speak their native language.

This. This, so much.

Only tekken allows this :frowning:

I hated when Tekken had Lili speak her native language. I loved her English voice.

I don’t see why people keep saying he looks like he plays like El Fuerte. I think what they really just want to say is " it looks like he will be annoying to play against " instead …lol …

Maybe it’s just his mannerisms that make him seem like Fuerte.

And the thing is El Fuerte rules the ground , this guy looks like he rules the skies more.

I could only wish that El Fuerte had a projectile or a divekick …

If anything he has moves that resemble Vega,Gen,Rolento,Yun and Yang more, with all those flips, wall jumps,dive kicks and rolls.

he’s not annoying like El Fuerte because that character relied on a safe 50/50 hit or grab that avoided most anti airs/reversals. Rashid is all attacks so far and seems like elf in that he runs and can jump off walls and slides (rolls in this case). more like Rolento i imagine, going back and forth baiting most of the time.

i wonder if he can set up some crazy stuff in the corner with Vtrigger and that wall slide down.

The best part of Tekken Tag 2 was how every character spoke their native language…

I don’t think growls count as a language…ala king and armor king…and doesn’t christie and eddie speak english?

Not sure how to feel about this one. All I can think of when I see new characters like this “Damn, after this time developing fighting games, this what they come up with?”

Its not like its the first arabic fighter ever… Maherl in Breakers… Pullum in EX…
None of his moves are new or look noteworthy.
His design isn’t memorable either… The only thing that stands out is the scouter…and thats because I think of DBZ, not SF.
