Catch Up on Rashid and Laura Basics with These Street Fighter V Overview Videos

The latest pair of Street Fighter V character introduction videos from Capcom offers basic information surrounding two series newcomers: Rashid and Laura. Much like other entries, UK community manager Matt Edwards discusses the basics behind the fighters’ V-Skills, offers a look at some general tactics, and gives insights into their story.

Sadly, Rashid’s video doesn’t go to great lengths detailing the nature or origin of his scouter, instead simply noting that “he’s something of a gadget lover.”

Ono Credits Dimps President for Street Fighter V’s Shorter, Easier Combos

Since their initial reveal, Capcom has reiterated that Street Fighter V will be resetting the playing field established by Street Fighter IV. One way they hope to accomplish that is by completely changing the flow of offense and focusing on shorter strings with lower execution barriers.

In a recent interview with Polygon, producer Yoshinori Ono says one man is to thank for this adjustment, and he doesn’t work at Capcom–well, not anymore, anyways.

Dimps president Takashi Nishiyama is apparently the person who brought the idea to Ono in the first place. Nishiyama previously acted as director on the original Street Fighter during his tenure at Capcom, and then provided assistance on the Street Fighter IV series after joining Dimps.

Ono also noted a “complete shift” in responsibilities during Street Fighter V’s development. While work on Street Fighter IV was almost completely in Dimps’ hands, Capcom has personally handled much of the upcoming title’s creation.

For more of Ono’s insight on Street Fighter V, including character and design choices, be sure to visit Polygon by following the link below.
