Trailer: The first expansion fighter, Rashid gusts into Street Fighter 6 today

Making his debut in Street Fighter V, Rashid of the Turbulent Wind has brought his airy combat style to SF6 as the first expansion character.

*Blowing noises*

Starting today, players can unlock Rashid by owning or purchasing the Street Fighter 6 Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Year 1 Character Pass, or purchase Rashid individually for 350 Fighter Coins which also includes his Outfit 1, Colors 1 & 2. Players can also try out Rashid for free for one hour with one Rental Fighter ticket, obtainable in the in-game Fighting Pass.

Capcom press release

As you might imagine, a new character means more than just a playable fighter with Street Fighter 6. The game features multiple modes after all, and the Rashid DLC will factor into all of them.

Here’s how that all shakes out:

• World Tour
  • Rashid’s Master Missions added
  • New missions added featuring the Mike Haggar Memorial Stadium Tournament and Suval’hal Arena
    • Note: You must complete the main story in World Tour to access these missions
• Fighting Ground
  • Rashid’s story added to Arcade Mode
• Battle Hub
  • Hub Goods Shop now includes “Pirate” and “Resort” themed avatar outfits!
• General
  • A new quality-of-life feature that allows Drive Rush cancels to be performed by pressing MP + MK (Classic Controls) or the Drive Parry button (Modern Controls) following a cancellable normal attack
