Street Fighter 6’s first post-launch roster addition is finally here, as Rashid Of The Turbulent Wind is now available to all players with the Year 1 Character Pass. His debut is not without controversy, however, as he seems to be completely overpowering the rest of the field with a single move.
For those who aren’t familiar with the character, Rashid debuted in Street Fighter V, where he was a part of the game’s launch roster. His arsenal includes multiple attacks using the power of the wind, which includes the ability to soar on the wind for quick attacks and generate tornadoes as projectiles.

However, it seems one of his super attacks, Ysaar, is working more effectively than anticipated, even for Capcom. As seen in the video tweeted by longtime fighting game pro Justin Wong above, the massive tornado generated by Rashid never disappears, which means the player who performed the move can chip away at the opponent’s health until they’re knocked out.
