Description[]

"A two-hit combination attack. The first hit can be canceled into special moves."
Street Fighter 6

Executed by pressing forward and Medium Punch (or pressing forward and Medium Attack for Modern Control), Rashid reaches out and performs a forehand strike. Afterwards, he spins toward his opponent and performs a knifehand strike. In Street Fighter 6, Rashid performs a short hop while delivering the strikes.

Tactics[]

FlapSpin

This attack has good reach and allows Rashid to close the distance and approach the opponent. While the startup of this move isn't as fast as his other normals, it is a great mid-range tool that Rashid can throw out. Even on block, Rashid will be at least -2 on block, making this move hard to punish. In order to get the most out of this attack, Rashid needs to be properly spaced out and catch the opponent as they whiff on their attacks. He can also cancel the first forehand strike into a special move.
