A new entrant in the Street Fighter V series, Rashid relies heavily on keeping his foes off balance with a barrage of tricky special moves and mix-ups. Does he have what it takes to blow you away?

Street Fighter V Beta Laura Combo Video
Recently, Capcom put the beta back up for a small stress test. This new build featured the debut of Laura. Though her combo potential is surprisingly limited, I ended up really enjoying her. Many match videos to come, but for now, enjoy this combo video!
Street Fighter V Beta Ken Matches Part 1
Ken Masters enters Street Fighter V in a dramatically different state. While he still of the same general archetype as Ryu, he’s been tuned in a way that makes him a much more aggressive-minded fighter than ever. Tune in to watch me come to grips with Ken’s new tools!
Street Fighter V Beta Tutorial/Story Mode
Version 1.05 of the Street Fighter V Beta adds a tutorial mode to its package. It covers the basics, from how to move and jump, up until how to use your V-Trigger. Since none of this was present in Street Fighter IV, this is a good sign.
More interesting are the story ramifications on display. The cutscenes take place very early in the Street Fighter story, as Ryu and Ken are being taught by Gouken while Ken is sporting his Street Fighter Alpha ponytail. They even fight each other in their classic costumes, which could be a sign of what’s to come in terms of DLC costumes.
Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Impressions
Entering the fray for the first time is Rashid. A naturally agile guy whose abilities are boosted by the technology in his backpack, he attacks with an assortment of flying kicks and tornado-based attacks. Does he have what it takes to blow away the competition?
Street Fighter V Beta Necalli Combo Video
The Aztec warrior has been one of my most anticipated characters to play as in Street Fighter V. He’s a little more conventional than I thought he’d be, but I certainly found some fun uses for him within the context of this combo video. Get hype!
Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Matches Part 1
This marks the beginning of my match videos that I recorded during my limited time with the beta. Of the characters, I got the most time in with Rashid, so there will be more to come. That said, none of these videos will feature high level play, as I myself was more interested in exploring the game rather than being the best at it, but these are good to get a sense of what’s to come. Enjoy!

Dhalsim, Six DLC Characters and a Release Date Announced for Street Fighter V
Lots of big Street Fighter V news coming out of Paris Games Week. For starters, Capcom revealed Dhalsim as the latest character added to the playable roster. I’m generally not a fan of the Yoga master, but I love everything I’ve seen in the trailer, from his new look to the plethora of changes made to his arsenal. Definitely excited to give him a shot.
Covering Part 2 of the Street Fighter V Beta
I missed most of the Street Fighter V beta the first time around. After an epic fail of a launch, Capcom conveniently rescheduled the beta to fall on a weekend where I would be out of the province. Played as much as I could on the first and last days of the beta, but it certainly wasn’t ideal.
Hoping that I would be fully available for the second go-around, it clearly wasn’t meant to be. Capcom scheduled their four-day beta during a time when I would be away with Steff for a marriage retreat for three of those days. Also, during one of the periods where I could actually play, the power was scheduled to be shut off in my building. Once again, I made the most with the little time I had.
