Rashid General Thread: Desert Storm - second new character

it’s sad how braindead this character is

I dont’ get the point of that combo, I guess styling. I havent’ done the numbers but I would think cc Hp xx roll, HP xx roll uppercut kick, super would probably do more and not use your vtrigger. h xx h tornado, roll may be good in some situations when frame trapping but the startup is pretty long.

Looks nice, but it’s a waste of V-Trigger. If you do MP Spinning Mixer (without mashing) instead of V-Trigger you only lose 7 damage.

Of course it’s for styling lol. DefeetLee posted a better and more practical combo earlier on Twitter. I just didn’t want to steal it.

guys if u didn’t know u can go to CFM, search the ladder, and watch replays from all top ranked players… for example I just watched all the games from LiangHuBBB .
U can watch in slow motion too…very nice options in replay mode… u should check it out…

Before the server went down, I only managed to test a few things.

5HP seems to be 0 on block .
5HK is negative, but not by much, if it is punishable, probably only by fast DPs or something.
(too bad the reversal option is broken so I couldn’t test much else)

combos

confirm into light mixer seems to be the basic route.

cruch counter

5HP xx 236HK xx 2MP+MK > 5MP > 2MK xx 214LK
seems to be the highest meterless I can get, at 322
I don’t know how viable 5HP xx 236HK is, though

so

5HP > walk forward 5HP xx 214HK does 302
0 on block 5HP confirm and still a lot of damage on crush counter

5HK > 6MP xx 214HK
seems to be the highest damage I can get meterless from 5HK, a bit sad
252 I think it was?

That’s really about it, started to test some metered options.

Ending with spinning mixer instead of the divekick might be best, haven’t been able to get into a single game to really know what situations you end up in.

You can still add that after V-trigger for more damage though.

EDIT: disregard my stupid, had counter hit on

Some of the frame data in that spreadsheet is wrong,

5LP, 2LP and 5LK can all link into 5MP and 2MK, so they are at least 2 frames off on hit advantage.

can someone explain to me how to control the wall bounce please? that shit is ridiculous but i’m not entirely sure how to do it consistently.

If you hold down after initiating the wall jump, you will go diagonally down instead.

right but is there a way to stay the same side? i’m pretty sure i did one where i hugged the wall much closer and didn’t cross up and i have no idea how i did it.

ahhh…i think you whiff medium kick.

edit - holy shit that’s pretty o.p lol. you can combo the wall bounce j.mk into st.mp.

Anyone found a real reason to do the mixer or eagle kick out of his run yet? Does it give you better frames somehow? Seems a little pointless so far.

This s.HK tho…

Just do LP mixer since it’s safe on block.

I catch people a lot with run mixer, pretty sure it deals more damage than LP since it has more hits, and I don’t think you can punish it unless you mash it either (And if you can, people rarely know the difference). It also has A LOT of corner carry on hit and block. If you’re playing someone that gets overly block-y at footsie range, it can be worthwhile to use. Also, if they jump while you do it you’ll be safely across the screen.

I think running eagle kick is for when you are zoning with tornado and they get hit out of the air? maybe it combos? Not at home so can’t test.

First day in the beta finaly. I’m really liking Rashid here’s a little of what I’ve recorded from matches today.

I’ll just leave these here -

He has a midscreen to wall dive reset for 60%, along with stun on next hit. I keep messing it up but it’s definitely possible.

Lol this character is insane, so many options I’m loving it!
A lot of what’s working for me feels like gimmicks and people will later adapt but for now I’m taking the free wins :stuck_out_tongue:

Unless Laura is super dope I’ll be going with Vega and Rashid :smiley:

Going to get around to trying Rashid tomorrow, he’s tough to fight though
