Capcom has formally revealed the first fighter joining the Street Fighter 6 roster post-launch, and it’s Rashid, a returning fighter who first appeared in Street Fighter 5.
Rashid hits the game on July 24, so there are still a few weeks to go until he’s playable. All owners of the game’s Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, and Year 1 Character Pass can play as him. You can also play Rashid for up to one hour for free using a Rental Fighter ticket, which is obtainable in the in-game Fighting Pass.
Check out the Street Fighter 6 Rashid gameplay trailer below for a look at what to expect:
Rashid will be playable in all three of Street Fighter 6’s modes: World Tour, where he’ll be added to the story mode with unique moves for your custom avatar, the Fighting Ground as the 19th playable character; and the Battle Hub, where you can earn Rashid-related gear, emotes, and more. Moves to look out for include Arabian Cyclone, Arabian Skyhigh, Super Rashid Kick, Ysaar, and Altair.
Rashid hits Street Fighter 6 on July 24. He’ll be joined by upcoming fighters like A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma this year.
