Rashid General Thread: Desert Storm - second new character

He is stated as liking movies. Maybe he got his idle from Fei Long (Bruce Lee) movies ?

Was about to say you must’ve been looking at the wrong gauge lel

I made the same mistake ROFL. The switch sides thing is confusing

yo i think you posted the wrong video that’s from metal slug 2

Yup. I ran into this leak while googling Rashid. Since it was reposted on Gamefaqs 3 months ago I felt it warranted at least some attention.

I’m done with the gameplay vidéo.

So, he has :

[list=1]
[] A run like Dash (not a run but looks like it)
[
] A wallbounce (he can bounce or use it as a plateform to launch himself on the opponent)
[] A backdash backflip (he used it to bait Ryu’s parry in the video)
[
] A particular jump.
[] 2 stocks of V meter
[
] We can see : Standing LP, LK, MK, HP, HK (maybe Medium Punch instead of Heavy); Jumping LP, LK (crossup), MP, HK; Every Crouching Normals
[] An overhead command move, certainly Forward HP.
[
] Both of his throws
[] That tornado projectile (and his ex variation)
[
] Falcon Spire. Bounce on the opponent, knockdown, could break fireball like Necalli. Ex works like Cammy’s Arrow during V trigger (Piercing and Juggle state)
[] Arabesque (I call it like that because of Aria’s Crescendo and Pullum theme). i assume that’s a move like Nash’s scythe, with each variation being different (one horizontal, one with an 45° angle and one vertical). Ex could be that move he used after his ex Divekick.
[
] Divekick. Angle similar to Gen’s one. Seems better than Necalli and works like Cammy Ex Strike (I don’t think we can juggle after without the tornado)
[] I can show you the world. His critical art. Can combo into it, nothing much to say about that.
[
] Typhoon. His V trigger. The guy never used it and you guys already make hypothesis about its utilisation so I have nothing to say.
[] Marseille Roll. His V skill, low profile (wonder if the roll is invincible), kick launcher after. Don’t know if we can juggle after
[
] Ken’s Winquote "(A little breeze like that fans my flames even more”) against him and his against Bison (“I win. Now return my friend! That’s all I ask”)
[] He has funny stance between the round.
[
] His neutral stance reminds me of Cinder’s One in KI (or Bruce Lee, yeah)
[/list]

Also he get’s a burst of speed when he jumps through the V-Trigger tornado, both his normal jump and command jump.

I wonder if its a real command jump or if he is perhaps the first character in SFV with a super jump. Can’t wait to see his official movelist.

Yeah good point, If it is a command hop though then it might make more sense because of that little hop back he does might be a different strength used. Unless that’s his back dash.

Looks like the taunt and idle animation unless im mistaken

First pose looks incredibly familiar but I cant put my finger on who did it

Looks like a Fuerte/Rolento retard-style character to me.
I still hope that he doesn’t turn out that way, but from the footage he certainly seems to one of “those” characters I despise in SF4.

Oh man I didn’t even notice he can choose between a cross up lk and dive kick off his wall bounce. Maybe that’ll be some dirty mixup in the corner?

Nvm

I like him… I think he’s going to replace bison as my sub. Way better then necalli. Like…WAYYYY better.

That first one looks straight out of JoJo’s Bizarre adventure

Those are his win poses. They’re both in the gameplay video someone linked earlier in the thread.

I just can’t get over how well Capcom stuck the landing on this guy. They fucked up with Necalli, but then give us a properly researched brown dude and worked with brown folks to make sure they did it right.

If Laura doesn’t turn out to be the sort of character I think she’ll be, then Rashid may very well be my main. At the very least a sub.

Hmmmm…I’ve seen this guy somewhere before…maybe in an unofficial sequel to SF1? :wink:

More gameplay:

The jab mashing is painful to watch. At least from that video we know he has a TC that moves him forward and he can juggle of his projectile with a DP.

We also saw his super animation raw, looks like a good anti-air.
