Capcom is adding a new Middle-Eastern character to the cast of Street Fighter 5 fighters called Rashid.
The reveal was made at Games15, a video game show currently being held in Dubai, where Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono introduced the character. Although details about Rashid’s abilities and play style haven’t yet been revealed, it seems he will have the ability to control wind. In the lead up to this reveal, Ono Tweeted pictures of Ryu and Ken blocking and being hit by gusts of wind.
Interestingly, a supposed leak from earlier this year stated one of the upcoming character announcements for Street Fighter 5 would be called Rashid. This reveal lends some weight to reports that other two characters are a Brazilian fighter named Laura and an Indian character called Zen.
An image of the character was posted on Twitter by KO Alliance and can be seen below.
All Games Beta has a second, better look at Rashid.

Sony has confirmed it will have 19 titles playable at its Tokyo Game Show booth this year, one of which is Street Fighter 5, a console exclusive for PS4. It’s likely more information about the character–and perhaps others–will be provided there.
GameSpot’s hands-on with Street Fighter 5 at Gamescom revealed the latest iteration offers more of a gameplay reinvention than you might expect.
Recently, Capcom detailed the business model it is adopting for Street Fighter 5, and it’s quite a departure from the previous game. Players will only ever need one disc, and future gameplay DLC will be available for free provided you earn enough in-game currency.
