Rashid General Thread: Desert Storm - second new character

I didn’t like it when it came to Lili. She had a great Enlgish VA.

What in the world would ELF do with a projectile? Ping pong it back and forth with his chest bumps?

I agree to an extent but not all of the new comers will be winners.

There’s not a whole lot you can mess up when voicing a lily white girl. Her English VA was adequate nothing groundbreaking or all that special.

So IGN Middle East uploaded a few more Rashid videos. Still new people hitting buttons but we see a little more of his V Trigger, alt color and normals:

And his win quote in mirror matches is pretty funny. “You look just like me! We should take a picture and post it online!” Haha love this guy


dunno if this was known but quote of rashid to bison when he wins:

"I win! Now return my friend! That’s all I ask."
nvm: was found lol

Also I don’t know if instead of a dash he’s actually running. Vs Ken it seems like he did 2 dashes but what confuses me is that he runs. As if double tapping forward 2 times would make him run a short distance but not continuously until you release the stick (kinda wish it was haha)

ok so far i’ve seen this character compared to el fuerte, gen, juri, urien, cammy, vegeta, cody, guy, rolento, ibuki, cammy, and seth.
what the fuck is wrong with the internet.
since were just throwing shit out there uhhh fucking jetpack uhhh he’s like hercule.
also he smiles so he’s just like rico suave.
he has dark skin tone fuckin sean clone.
he’s got wind power so he’s just like storm eagle.

Its a bit extreme but I suppose its because the character isn’t the most original. While Rashid does have share some commonalities with some of those characters, its a bit retarded to compare him to Vegeta for the scouter… Cody because WIND… Rolento BECAUSE ROLL…

Internet plz.

So the upwards divekick is part of the EX divekick

That’s what I liked most about Punch Out Wii U.

What kinda bugs me is that since he’s based off of parkour, he’s got more pronounced movements. Which translates to slow movements. I dunno. Need to see more of him but I guess I’ve been spoiled by the likes of Gen and Vega.

Because his animations are all very reminiscent of El Fuerte. His standing fidgety pose is like Fuerte’s, his backflips are like Fuerte, his forward dash is a run, his command jump V-skill is very el fuerte, he has a drop kick, and he emphasizes speed. He wall jumps like Fuerte. He’s got a happy-go-lucky demeanor like El Fuerte.

But that’s it, because he doesn’t look like he actually plays anything like Fuerte. He just moves and looks like him.

He has a fireball and decent looking normals and no command run, so he’s not anything remotely like El Fuerte, gameplay wise. Thank god.

I hope that Capcom changes the announce to give him the proper pronunciation of his name.

They did have the differing pronunciations for Abel in the Japanese and English versions of SFIV, so it’s very possible. I dunno if it’s likely, but possible.

I like how they have the announcer mispronounce Yang for the English version.

King and Armor King communicating with growls is what makes them awesome though. And no, in Tag 2 Christie and Eddy have Portuguese voice actors.

Her French VA is good as well.

Using Tekken’s policy of most characters speaking their native language would be cool. Better than this lame ass English Rashid VA we have currently, the dude could at least add an accent to his voice and put some effort in. He just sounds like a generic American…

They changed the pronunciation of Abel name from Vanilla to Super. They have made corrections in this vein before.

Interesting. Well, I only jumped on board when Super came out, so that’s probably why I didn’t know.

Oh Street Fighter, you and name pronunciations…

All I know is I can’t wait to see Combofiend get a chance to demo this character lol.

Yep. And I want to see someone press every button on the pad like I would do if I had the chance.

In the rashid mirror, the mustard one did something like a mini jump over the white Rashid, what can that be ? (at 0:5X)

Being arab american, I completely agree about the awful design… but like he said, it’s Street Fighter. It could be MUCH MUCH worse. So I guess we have to make peace on the fact of his super doesn’t involve bombs. Whatever. I’m sure after SF5 we’ll never see him again. We can put him in a box with El Fuerte, Twelve, Remy, and Necro. He looks to be extremely fun to play with though.

Erm walking on eggshells since people can get oversensitive but, is the stereotype really that far off? In a franchise where everyone is stereotyped like the sumo fighter, the karate dude, the boxer, the schoolgirl, etc…Tekken even went with the same exact design (to my eyes).

I mean it would be worse if they were completely off, like this dude Blizzard made supposedly as a brazilian character:

This guy listen to hip hop for fucks sake. I think he makes Dee Jay look more of a stereotypical brazilian.

I’m not arab but I liked this character’s design (except the “yahoo” crap), not so much his cheerful personality, but so far I’m completely sold on his gameplay.
