First Post Launch Street Fighter 6 Character Release Date Announced - Hardcore Gamer
Capcom has announced not only the first post launch character for Street Fighter 6 but also the release date as to when that character is expected. Rashid of the Turbulent Wind will debut on July 24 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Rashid premiered in the Street Fighter series in Street Fighter V and his high speed and high flying gameplay brought a new element to the game. Rashid will be available across all three modes in the game including his implementation into World Tour. This means Rashid will offer his move sets for player builds and will be part of the story. Players can also learn more of his background.
In Battle Hub, there will also be Rashid-related gear, emotes and more as part of this month’s “Rashid Arrives!” Fighting Pass. Rashid will have new and classic moves that now have him characterized as both parkour and lightning quick movements. Rashid will be unlocked for owners of the Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Year 1 Character Pass. With a Rental Fighter ticket, players can experience Rashid for free for one hour. The move set for Rashid’s special moves and more are listed below.
Street Fighter 6 has sold more than a million units since its launch back in June. There are three more post launch characters coming within the next year. Rashid will make 19 characters to select from, but A.K.I., Ed and Akuma are the next three on the table. Capcom has released a launch trailer for Rashid that you can view below.
