Capcom has recently introduced the all-new fighter Rashid and a returning brawler Karin for Street Fighter 5 making him the 12th character confirmed in the growing roster of fighters so far.

Both Rashid and Karin are devastating brawlers with the former having some powerful mix-up options with his V-Skills, and the latter possessing a deadly whirlwind uppercut special move, reports IGN.

Rashid's V-Skill abilities makes him unique. A combination of a front flip move with a kick input is like C. Viper Burning Kick. The Arabian fighter's unique move also amazingly autocorrects in mid-air and with different combination will allow him do a slide kick or roll. The Street Fighter V's first rekka character, Karin is even more deadly especially with her vortex.

Meanwhile, Capcom has announced another Street Fighter 5 beta from October 7th until October 14th. Attack of the Fanboy reports that this beta is only good for Japanese gamers and limited only to 100,000 testers.

The first beta of the game for PS4 that went online on July 23 but it never kicked off as it was plagued with performance and connectivity problems, that Capcom postponed in August.

The beta happened last month for the North American and European gamers but there were still issues that hindered some users' gaming experience. However, it appears to be successful as Capcom thanked everyone who participated in the test on Twitter.

Street Fighter 5 is developed exclusively for PS4 and PC via strategic partnership between Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Capcom with cross-platform play between both systems.

The next-gen fighting game, Street Fighter 5, will be launched in Spring of 2016. The developer assures fans that it will have a simultaneous worldwide release, meaning, no region will be late and everyone will be able to play the game at the same time.
