I actually never saw that guy since i'm not a fan of SF5, and didn't play it much. He looks like he came straight out of Aladdin.

Now that is a delightfully animated moveset, what tha fuackkkkkkk

 

[chromhound]

The closest to a Prince of Persia game lol

 

[blastprocessor]

LOL just was funny.

 

[Celcius]

Eh, not a fan of the new hat/hair. He was ok in sf5 but I had literally forgotten about him so I’m shocked that he’s the first dlc character.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Abigail next Capcom

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Is this how fighting games are now? Just release with a small/default roster and slowly charge for more over the life of the game? I haven't played fighters seriously in a long time.

This is how fighters have always been... Just cheaper since you can buy DLC for new chars instead of getting a whole ass new game.

 

[abstract alien]

Rashid was pretty expressive and animated in SFV, so it's great to they kept his spirit in this one. Those animations man! Good Lord!

18 characters is a small roster?

Huh?

I guess.. there were typically improvements either via engine, new single player campaign.. can't really agree with this. I'd rather have Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur II than Soul Calibur with just slowly added roster.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Fluid and dynamic, he looks great

That's why I said also "default".

I'm really not trying to throw any shade on SF 6, just surprised this is how it is now I guess.

 

[93xfan]

So how much for him. Have some extra FC from all my chipotle runs

 

[Punished Miku]

Voice actor doesnt fit at all. Great animations though.

 

[64bitmodels]

I mean, we're talking Street Fighter here, the series infamous for taking a single entry and just rereleasing it with new content. There's 20+ versions of SF2 for crying out loud.

I used to think that Arc Sys was the best FG studio in terms of animation....
I stand by that, They're just tied with Capcom now.

Point taken .

 

[Buki1]

No new stage for DLC character?

Also some trivia to those who don't know - Rashid for SFV, the first Arab character the series, was announced by Capcom on 9.11 and his stage was a plane flying over the city. Never change, Capcom.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Finally, some good characters.

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Cannot wait for RASHIDOOOOOOOO!!

 

[Rentahamster]

Now do El Fuerte!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Where is Sakura?

I'd rather have this than traveling back in time to the days where they charge full price for 2nd Impact, 3rd Strike, etc. roster and patch updates.

If anything, sports games NEED to change to this model but they refuse to because people keep buying at full price for a simple roster update.

 

[[Sigma]]

Wasn't a fan of him in SFV and I don't anticipate liking him in this game. I'll try him out though because this game allows you to so that's a good thing.

[FalsettoVibe]

He looks pretty dope.

 

[saintjules]

I'd love to see him versus Joe Higashi.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Can you say animations?
My lord - a masterful work of art.

MK1 devs - take heed.

Mortal Kombat animations in comparison are a meme. They were bad way back in the90s and they're bad even today. i hope MK1 will change that, but i ain't banking on it

 

[[Sigma]]

Taking a look at it again, his super animations look got damn amazing. Like wow.

 

[xiskza]

Cool trailer but he's no Menat

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Wait a fucking minute, this dude has a double jump. WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA? He looks fun as hell.

 

[Spaceman292]

Yeah it's been like that for about two console generations by now. And before then they were just selling new versions of the game like SF3. This isn't new at all.

And he had a jet pack lol. But everyone loves him so it's fine.

 

[F0rneus]

His animations look like next-gen WTF?!

He was announced during a Dubai game convention that happened to be held on that date. It's just a coincidence.

 

[Hudo]

Ok. But what about MENAT?



I am usually not (or ever) one for DLC shit but I would like to have Menat in SF6.

 

[[Sigma]]

Poor Lily, not only is she the weakest character in the game but now she has the weakest wind.

 

[01011001]

they're just flexing at Nether Realm at this point.

that one character has most likely more thought put into it and more animation detail than all of MK1 combined

 

[Neff]

I stopped following Street Fighter V early so how does this model work with regard to new stages? Some characters get them and some don't? I can see from a glance that SFV has lots of stages it didn't have at launch but doesn't quite have a stage for every character by the end of its run.

Looking largely the same but within the SF6 currency. Not every character is getting a stage just like SFV. So whatever way Capcom decides it's going to be, whether it's part of the Free or Premium Battle pass or coins. 2 stages are part of the year 1 ultimate pass so we know at least 2 are coming within that time frame. Also the Capcom Pro Tour usually had a stage part of it and I expect that to continue whether it's this year or next.

Not even sure how she would work with modern controls since they are mandatory for development now, I'd love to have her back. Hopefully they don't turn her into a scrub character. Menat is one of the most technical, fun and expressive characters in the series by far.

 

[The Pleasure]

Time to get my rashid on

 

[xiskza]

give me Viper and Poison now

 

[saintjules]

So I am curious why his animations looks better than the other characters or why it's being highlighted more with him?

I've been saying since the game was announced that some of the animations lacked polish and/or had some strange hit boxes that didn't match. On average they looks great, but some moves with characters like Chun, or a few of ken's kicks just looked wonky or floaty. Rashid looks like every single move shown was honed to perfection and "complete"

 

[Aenima]

Yup. Reason why i wait for the end of the gen to pick a fighting game i like that usually comes with the full roster + alot of dlc content included.

Sounds like the way to go esp if it comes as a goty like physical disc.

 

[poodaddy]

That new costume is a vast improvement over his previous from V. He looks great man, nice to see him get included again as he's one of the few new SF characters that's actually likeable.

 

[Needlecrash]

So....Rashid is officially tourney legal for EVO 2023. WELP.....GOOD GAMES.
