Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono has been teasing fans for the last few days with his usual style of showing only partial screenshots. This time, he was just showing small pieces of an image of a character doing tornado-like movements. Recent video clips have hit IGN and fighting community site Shoryuken, showing off Street Fighter V’s latest character, finally ending the teasing — and introducing something new to the Street Fighter family.

The new windy moveset is coming from an Arab fighter named Rashid. He is a new character, using the power of wind to torment and attack his opponents. Hopefully , Capcom can help fill in some of the blanks on this cool looking character soon.
