Evaluation
A rushing kick move whose startup and recovery change with each strength. Used across a wide range of situations — pressure strings, meaty anti-mash, and combo enders.
How to Use
Notes on how Rashid uses Arabian Cyclone — combo routes, pressure, whiff punishes — to be added.
How to Counter
Startup and recovery vary by strength (LP / MP / HP).
- 214LP
- When canceled from a light attack, it beats a 6F reversal attempt. When canceled from a medium, it is a true blockstring.
- If your character has a 5F move with good reach, you can beat the startup when it is canceled from a light
- If you use a 4F move, you will get stuffed cleanly by 214HP, so using your best 5F move is highly effective
- Check whether your character's 5F option beats both LP and HP versions
- On block it is -6F — always take your punish
- Drive Impact is guaranteed, but Rashid can cancel into SA3, so confirm he has no SA3 before committing to DI
- When canceled from a light attack, it beats a 6F reversal attempt. When canceled from a medium, it is a true blockstring.
- 214MP
- Beats a reversal attempt when canceled from a medium attack
- High corner damage on counter makes it popular near the wall; mid-screen the reward is lower, so it is less threatening there
- On block it is -4F — always take your punish
- 214HP
- When used as a cancel from a normal, Rashid is +1 on block
- Has Drive Impact armor-crush properties
- Jumping to manage risk/reward is an option, but the LP/MP anti-mash variants mean it is not a clean answer
- Neutral jumping mid-screen risks being picked up by a normal into Whirlwind Shot — be careful
Recommended counters
- Back-jump mixed with Drive Impact is the practical and easy answer
- Back-jump can be caught by 214LP, but mid-screen there is no combo follow-up
- Mid-screen: keeping back-jump loaded during Rashid's strings has excellent risk/reward
- Corner: if 214P catches your back-jump there IS a combo, so you must read correctly there
- Back-jump can be caught by 214LP, but mid-screen there is no combo follow-up
- When you read that Rashid will cancel a light into 214P, a fast 5F move with good range beats the startup of both 214LP and 214HP
- Fuzzy parry (aiming for Just Parry) at the 214LP guard timing is also effective
- Showing this option makes Rashid aim for charged Whirlwind Shot instead, which you can then punish with Drive Impact — creating a cycling read game
Hitting parry at the moment you block 214P is highly effective but difficult, and the direct reward is small.
Mid-screen, back-jump the moment you smell Arabian Cyclone coming — it is the ultra-safe answer. The clip below shows no combo follow-up is possible.
In the corner, 214LP does combo, so you must read correctly. Drive Impact is the recommended option — if it crushes 214HP the resulting damage is low, so the risk/reward math favors you.
