~ Rashid in Street Fighter 6

Rashid is a hero and one of the core playable characters first appeared in Street Fighter V, the 5th entry of the main Street Fighter series of fighting video games by Capcom. He was originally unveiled at 2015 Dubai game show and was the second entry of the 4 characters confirmed to be their first appearances for the game itself. Rashid is also the third Middle Eastern fighter within the series after Hakan, representing the first male character originated from Turkey, and Pullum Purna, the first Arabian fighter.

Biography[]

Rashid is a fighter from the Middle East who can harness the power of the wind. He has a keen interest in technology and the latest gadgets on the market, some of which he uses in his fighting style. He is the eldest son of a wealthy Middle Eastern family. His servant, Azam, accompanies him in many of his battles. Rashid's fighting style is based on his unique brand of Parkour and his ability to control the wind.

Abilities[]

While Rashid does not boast the strongest attacks compared to other fighters, and lacks the reach of characters like Dhalsim, he is one of the faster and more versatile characters in the roster, able to summon tornadoes at will, and use his varied attacks from a variety of ranges and angles to keep his opponents guessing.

Personality[]

Rashid appears to be an eager one with a laid-black conduct. He has an affinity for any kind of useful, modern technology especially the internet and many new things to experience.

Similar to Elena, he is also friendly to likely make friends with other people he meets, unlike most Street Fighters he is not fussed about fighting and will rarely take battles seriously unless it's against a great master like Dhalsim. Besides, Rashid can mistake certain people as his respective relatives and Zangief for his grandfather and his servant named Azam. He is always like to be with Azam in during his planned travels.

Rashid can be very goofy almost to the behavioral level of Dan Hibiki. He referred to Ryu as "That guy from Twitter" and his encounters with Zangief and R. Mika are very humorous. Rashid's joking manner extends to the main story mode where he serves as main comic relief, making exaggerated poses and exclamations. He also hates to be ignored by other fighters when they are facing against their opponents and complains about it to Azam in joke-manner.

Despite showing himself a bit of a goofy side, Rashid is genuinely a very kind and incredibly heroic person, jumping on to rescue Li-Fen from two guards despite the girl being in no danger. Even when operating for the suspect Illuminati Rashid states to Karin and the other world warriors, that he needs the chess pieces to help find his friend and not for evil purposes. Likewise, Rashid proves to be very selfless as he stops Urien from trying to kill Charlie and incurs the disciple's wrath. Later he meets Charlie again and restores Charlie's calm behavior and conscience by explaining his quest to find his kidnapped friend.

Rashid is very intelligent, not only a whizz at computers and other technology but also when it comes to important matters like Illuminati. He correctly assumed Helen (Kolin) was not in charge, by asking who she really was at which point Urien showed up. Rashid is also very trusting, as when he was caught by Karin during the first raid on Shadaloo, as the metal doors were closing in corridor he pushed R.Mika and Ibuki out of the way and threw Karin the chess pieces to her shock. Rashid asks her to take care of them, despite previously being at odds with her.

Rashid hates fighting both women and children, loading times, Shadaloo, his enemy F.A.N.G, being called a "commoner" and murderers and shows it during three points in the story mode. First when facing Chun-Li in New York, he had his apology throughout the fight, secondly when facing Juri Han he shows great reluctance to battle her which disappoints and angers Juri who states that she will kill him if he doesn't take the battle seriously. And thirdly when fighting Karin to get the chess pieces, Karin overpowers him but he easily brakes from her grip and reveals he swiped her chess pieces.

During the events of A Shadow Falls, Rashid is known to be ignored by the other international fighters when they are facing against their respective opponents. Also, he became friends with Charlie, who was thought to be killed by M. Bison at the time, as he is the guy who restores Charlie's calm personality and a good conscience by discussing his search to look for his kidnapped friend, who later killed by F.A.N.G for betraying the organization.

His most confrontation is to defeat F.A.N.G. After F.A.N.G reveals that he slain Rashid's friend by using his poisonous skill, Rashid loses his own personality and makes his revenge against F.A.N.G to avenge his friend's death when he became vengeful and angry.

Later when hearing a goodbye message from his friend who tells him to live on, Rashid shows his emotions by crying a little but wipes his eyes and tells Azam that it's time to find a new adventure before flying off.

Story[]

Street Fighter V[]

The eldest son of an old Middle Eastern family, Rashid is traveling the world with his butler Azam in search of his friend, a hacker who ended up in the clutches of Shadaloo and forced to work on their latest scheme who wants to destroy the organization from the inside. His search for his missing friend results in him becoming entangled in the main plot surrounding a series of seven missing chess pieces, which are the keys to stopping Shadaloo's ultimate plan. Already owning a piece as his only lead, he sets out on a journey to search for the remaining pieces, striking up alliances with various other fighters, including Karin Kanzuki and the mysterious group led by Helen, who unbeknownst to him is actually the Secret Society agent, Kolin. In the climactic raid on Shadaloo's base, Rashid is able to stop Shadaloo's plan, but F.A.N.G arrives and reveals he had murdered Rashid's friend moments before he arrived, sending Rashid flying into a rage and resulting in F.A.N.G's defeat. With his mission complete, but at a great cost, Rashid departs with Azam.

Street Fighter 6[]

Following the events of V, Rashid continued his travels with Azam and he narrates about the entire events in his role in Street Fighter V and finally shows his cellphone camera with a selfie stick, showing his enjoyment of being a vlogger to make vlogs on his fights with other fighters. Upon encountering Ryu, Rashid wants to fight him in a rematch while hiding his selfie stick and his cellphone camera from his back. Ryu accepts and they both fight.

After defeating Ryu, Rashid realizes that his fight Ryu is something that he can never forget to learn more about himself and taking a similar path as him as well as no cellphone or no shoot cameras and videos when both had fought. However, he gets a drone camera in wanting to make videos of his fight with the fighters, much to Azam's disappointment.
