Trap your enemies in Rashid’s deadly vortex, with this mixup guide from Dr. Fatbody

Continuing their “Know Your Mixup” series, Dr. Fatbody and Cross Counter TV have released a new episode, focused around everyone’s favorite wind master Rashid. Starting with setups off of Rashid’s Spinning Mixer, the guide then details some of the side-switch shenanigans Rashid can pull off using his V-Trigger.

If Rashid lands a light punch into level 2 Spinning Mixer, he is left +1 on hit. From there, Rashid’s light kick will stuff throw attempts and three-frame jabs, allowing him to go into another combo. If you don’t time it right, Rashid’s light kick is also +2 on block, giving you the chance to set up for a frame trap.

Following that, the good doctor details two V-Trigger mixups Rashid has at his disposal. Both involve jumping through Rashid’s tornado and forcing opponents to block hits from both sides. What makes these mixups extra tricky is how the Rashid player can use the momentum of jumping through the tornado to make himself even more unpredictable. Talk about turbulent wind.
