I don’t think it combos into Ex tornado in the corner at all anymore (aside from off a juggle), but I could be mistaken.
Well you can move during the super. not far but it helps.
I can’t put my finger on everything, but Rashid feels way less interesting this patch.
Is roll slower? I can’t do any fireball xx roll shenanigans at all anymore, I haven’t tested it in training yet because another fight keeps coming my way, but I bet it’s way less advantageous to do point blanc fireball xx roll.
5HP xx EX Fireball xx roll > stuff doesn’t really work anymore it seems.
The biggest thing, something that makes me quite sad is that the fireball xx roll > left/right doesn’t seem to work anymore, at least not consistently, I’m really struggling to setup the cross up with it. I liked my cheeky reset.
He still works, but I’m kinda liking Laura and Necalli as much or more than him in this beta.
AFAIK those should all still work.
ST.hp doesn’t combo to ex fireball on ch anymore and when you roll through the ex fireball you roll so fast you push them out of its path removing blockstun and such. You can late cancel into the flip to cross over them but I blelieve at this point they are already in block stun so doesn’t really do anything.
Rashid’s theme is top tier.
They didn’t make lp mixer plus on block right? It’s just the internet that’s making me unable to hit him out of a throw attempt after blocking it?
There’s no way they made that plus on block.
And I’m talking zero out of like, 7 or 8 attempts to do a simple 3-4 frame crouch jab to interrupt.
No the lp version is -2 on block without mashing it. It’s all timing.
CC s.HP to EX Tornado in the corner still works, pretty sure I tested that when I saw that HK wasn’t working.
It works mid screen too, but the only thing i could follow with was an instant dive kick. In the corner you can link to cr.hp and go from there.
Just to be clear, you’re aware you can hold forward to move the super right? I have no problems cancelling from mixer midscreen.
I’m aware of that, it’s still too limited compared to all the other supers in the game.
I did CC st.HK. f.MP xx EX Whirlwind xx Roll, EX Eagle Spike, EX Eagle Spike, H Spinning Mixer. Spend all the meter, but it was cool as f*ck.
I found than jumping forward from a certain specific distance, jHP hits in front and jMK hits crossup (exact same jump arc). Now, how to set that up is a whole different matter. I get matched all the time so I can’t really try anything in training mode. If a reset for that thing is found (i guess only out of resets due to all the different wakeup timings) it would open up a nice mixup
Yeah, same as it’s been, that’s what I thought. It was just the internet.
if u want to practice stuff, just practice in dummy recording mode…

Might be known already,but i dont think ive seen it posted yet.
welp I’m having trouble antiairing Ryu with cMP (which usually can do easily vs other characters), does it have a tighter timing? Should I just roll vskill under his jumps?
Just some random stuff I have found with Rashid that I wanted to share:
[list]
[] Buffer max range sweep into v-trigger then press hk immediately twice, you will corpse hop twice and get meaty trigger tornado
[] Buffer far range cr hp into ex whirlwind shot(fireball), followup with roll for pressure or jump afterwards, if you get CH it will combo (max range - 1 hit will crush counter use hk eagle spike to combo)
[] v-skill into immediate lk dive is a good bait and decent recovery
[] CH stand mk is really good at mid range, confirm into cr jab xx spinning mixer
[] forward mp xx ex whirlwind shot is decent to close distance, if it whiffs you’ll still get the second mp to connect
[] AA cr mp, stand lk, jump back medium punch, spinning mixers
[] fish for CH stand hp into ex whirlwind shot xx roll v-skill for HUGE dmg
[] Stand lk meaty on knockdown can be OSed into eagle spike or super to catch teleports/backdashes
[/list]
Overall I think Rashid is a good character, his main weakness I would say is low dmg anti airs but this does not take away from his main rushdown game plan. His v-trigger feels like a guaranteed hit most of the time and is a core part of Rashid’s approach. A lot of his moves are unsafe, so you have to use them sparingly and really be able to confirm off few hits.
You can swap this out for the Vskill jump into eagle spike. To get 502 stun and 281 dmg. Takes some timing to get the eagle spike to hit though.
