Rashid isn't the typical Street Fighter character
you'd immediately think of, although his gimmick seems to fit in with the original meta of the series. His floaty moves and superhero flying business take the "martial arts" vibe
of the series away... and into some fantasy future world where Rashid
lives. Rashid sparks the imagination, if you appreciate his powers. He's like a reimagined Aladdin. That said, I'd probably like Rashid more if I was about
10 years old when I first watched that movie. lol.
Rashid is the definition of the continuation of SF4's "cartoony" era... which continued in SFV. Personality-wise, he's got JoJo vibes going on and
many over-the-top mannerisms. While charming in some ways, Rashid is definitely
a bit annoying and obnoxious, but he's original enough to stand out. In SF6,
you'll either love him or hate him. (He also arrived around the same time as Shaheen
from TEKKEN.)
