Rashid Confirmed for Street Fighter V

I like the diversity of the cast of SFV and instead of having a variation of Shotos. SF4 tried this but a lot of characters felt like they don't belong in the game.
 
One of the moves reminded me of Andy's Sho Ryu Dan instantly.

Rashid looks to be an instant classic (I know) and an all time fav of fans, Day 1. I can't say I've been a big fan of the redesigns or Necalli's regular form but this design is flat out ace.
 
He looks good. But whats his vskill and trigger? Didnt quite catch it in the trailer. The roll is the vskill maybe? And the big tornado the vtrigger?
 
Looks good so far in terms of design, although most of Capcom's new characters in SF4 ended up being pretty disappointing over time in other ways, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

What is this scouter thing people are talking about? His jetpack thing?

Seems like they added motion blur.

Blech. Don't ruin crisp 1080p visuals and animation with a coat of vaseline.
 
Yeah, he reminds me a lot of Fuerte actually. You can even faintly hear him yelling annoying shit in the trailer.

I hate him already.
The yelling is in his Japanese voice. For whatever reason, they only gave us his English voice (which I believe is Space Dandy) for the intro animation.

Look at his left eye.
 
V-Trigger is the Tornado. The roll seems to be his V-Reversal. V-Skill I dunno.

The roll isn't the V-Reversal, he does it out of block stun to go under Ryu's fireball.

His V-Reversal seems to be rolling through the opponent and kicking them from the other side.
 
Considering the wall jump and the sound he makes when he does it, they really, really should have left Vega off the roster.

Rashid looks okay. Glad they made him an obvious arab and not some weird monster like Hakkan. His super looks really dumb though.

Like it's not already ruined with an horrible photoshop filter on top of everything that kills details..

There is something way more next gen about that new character, maybe that's the motion blur or the speed, not sure.
 
His design is fairly generic but he looks cool in action.
To be fair it's difficult to make a design that reads as Arab without resorting to generic clothing.

Compared to Shaheen his thobe/kandoora/dress is more accurate, but his shimagh/ghutra/headdress game is as bad as Ono when compared to Harada:

looks great... The pronunciation is wrong.

He says Ra' sheed. But his name is Ra' shid. The "i" is silent and it should not be pronounced with a double ee.

Minor quirk... lol
It might be the transliteration that is not accurate. I mean my preferred transliteration for my own name leads to people mispronouncing it (coincidentally also due to using an I instead of double Es).
