Street Fighter 6
Rashid Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer Released, Playable July 24th
|
|
After
showing off a preview of Rashid's
official Street Fighter 6
character render
on Tuesday, Capcom dropped Rashid's full
Gameplay Reveal Trailer
Wednesday evening! Rashid of the Turbulent Wind makes his triumphant return to
the series with a whirlwind of new acrobatic moves in Street Fighter 6
on Monday, July 24th. After checking out Rashid's reveal trailer
below, also take a look at his official full-size HD Character Render (a
different render from the one shown yesterday) in addition to Concept
Artwork and Screenshots.
Capcom's Andy Wong also shared the first gameplay and storyline details
for Rashid via PlayStation.blog.
"First appearing in SFV, the charming Rashid returns to the
series, searching for a new outlook on life. Having an epiphany, he
realizes he wants to find the strongest warriors around the world and
record what their meaning of strength looks like. So starts his journey to
becoming a vlogger, always carrying around his trusty camera to livestream
and capture the spirit of strength."

OFFICIAL BIO: "The Soaring Eagle of the Desert" that
fights using parkour. With the wind as his ally, he outfoxes opponents
with his high mobility. Born into nobility, he's a carefree but earnest
man. Loves video streaming.
Game Director Takayuki
Nakayama also had this to say about Rashid's new moveset in Street
Fighter 6. "His
unique fighting style is characterized by parkour and nimble movements
while also utilizing whirlwinds/air currents to trifle with his opponents,"
said the director. "He has many techniques to attack while moving
forward and has a unique Run action that is used from a forward step,
giving him plenty of ways to approach his opponents."

The screenshot directly below unveils Rashid's "Outfit 2"
which is his classic look from his debut in Street
Fighter V. Like all other alternate costumes in Street Fighter
6, players can unlock this costume by maxing out their bonds with
Rashid within World Tour mode or by purchasing it in the Shop using
Fighter Coins.

Nakayama also
mentioned that Rashid's "hair and bangs" were a challenge and
took quite a lot of trial and error to get right. The designers aimed to
emphasize Rashid's use of wind and parkour, so they went with cloth
materials that were thin and fluttering. Since Rashid is a vlogger in SF6,
he now has a camera attached to his belt and a smartwatch embedded in his
bracelet. Clearly, he still loves gadgets. Last but not least, see
Rashid's official SF6 concept illustration of his new design,
below.

[UPDATE]
In other news... Capcom announced that Rashid will be playable at this
month's San Diego Comic-Con (July 20-23). It's also been confirmed
that Rashid will be a legal character to use at EVO 2023. Last but not
least, Capcom has released Rashid's official SF6 theme
song on YouTube.
Once again, Rashid joins Street
Fighter 6 on July 24, 2023 and immediately becomes
playable for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass. New
Rashid-inspired Avatar Gear is also now available in Street Fighter 6
with the latest Premium Rewards
unlockables. Read more about that inside our previous
article. Stay tuned on Fighters Generation for
updates and more Street Fighter 6 news.
