Rashid's forward throw is an important tool in his arsenal. His gameplan is to quickly close the distance and overwhelm them with his mobility while pressuring them with strong pokes and mix-up situations. As Rashid keeps his opponent on their heels with a flurry of quick strikes and special moves, he can sneak in a throw to push them closer to the corner. Once he has his opponent in the corner, Rashid pressure game amplifies. He can walk forward and put his opponent in a throw loop. He can also use his mobility to walk out of throw range to force their opponent to tech a throw, thus opening them up for more damage in the corner.
