Capcom says that Rashid will be the first post-release character added to Street Fighter 6. Rashid will be the game's 19th playable character and will make his debut on July 24, 2023 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
Players will not only get to fight as Rashid, but meet up with him in Street Fighter 6's World Tour story mode. This will allow your custom character to learn Rashid's moves and add them to their custom fighter's moveset. There will also be some Rashid-related gear, emotes, "and more" coming in this month's Rashid Arrives! Fighting Pass.
Rashid is included at no extra charge for those owning the Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, and the Year 1 Character Pass. There's also a free one hour trial via the Rental Fighter ticket, obtainable via the in-game Fighting Pass.
Rashid storms onto the scene with 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
