Just the other day a friend of mine was recommending me to try out Street Fighter 6 on his brand new ROG Ally. I had to skip on the opportunity due to work, but I might snap up the game sooner or later. The price is quite steep at the moment, with the normal, deluxe and ultimate editions being priced at RM 244, RM 346 and RM 427 respectively.

But if you are a die hard Street Fighter fan, I’ll have you know that a character is making his whirlwind debut in the game on the 24th of July across the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. Players will be able to experience Rashid of the Turbulent Wind across all three game modes which includes World Tour, Fighting Ground and Battle Hub.

Rashid features new and classic moves characterized by parkour and lightning quick movements, including:

  • Arabian Cyclone: A new special move that performs a spinning kick and conjures up a whirlwind; can be used as a standalone blow, or transitioned into Rolling Assault or Wing Stroke
  • Arabian Skyhigh: A new double jump move that keeps opponents guessing on where Rashid will land from the air
  • Super Rashid Kick: Level 1 Super Art that unloads a devastating kick while soaring forward and up through the air
  • Ysaar: Previously Rashid’s V-Trigger move in Street Fighter™ V, this Level 2 Super Art summons a slow-moving whirlwind projectile that can be used to pressure opponents
  • Altair: Rashid’s Level 3 Super Art calls forth a tempest that lifts opponents before he rains down on them with a monsoon of powerful blows

Be sure to check out all of Rashid’s moves when he’s available in Street Fighter 6 later this month! Rashid will be unlocked for owners of the Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Year 1 Character Pass. Players can also try out Rashid for free for one hour with one Rental Fighter ticket, obtainable in the in-game Fighting Pass.

And if you’re eager for more Rashid before he hits the streets, you can explore this month’s Fighting Pass with Rashid-related avatar gear, emotes, music, stickers, and more – available now through July 23. Stay tuned, because there’s even more new content to look forward to as well, with A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma all slated to release in the year ahead!
