Description[]
- "Unleash multiple chops while spinning. Useful for combos and sequences, it also makes for a great anti-air attack."
- —Description, Street Fighter 6
Executed by performing a quarter circle forward motion and pressing punch, Rashid spreads his arms out and spins toward his opponent with wind covering his body.
In Street Fighter V, mashing the selected punch button makes Rashid continue to spin. Rashid can also perform a Dash Spinning Mixer. By pressing any punch button during a dash, Rashid will perform the Light version of Spinning Mixer.
Tactics[]
The Spinning Mixer is seen as Rashid's primary combo ender. Additionally, the strength of the punch button determines the damage output, as well as Rashid's trajectory. The Light version sends him flying across the floor. However, it does the least amount of damage, even when mashed. The Medium version sends Rashid flying in a diagonal forward motion and does slightly more damage than the Light version. The Heavy version does the more damage out of the three and sends Rashid flying straight up. The EX version has the same trajectory as the Medium version, but it does the most damage and makes Rashid invincible during the startup.
The Light version is mainly used to pester his opponent and get in close, even though it does minimal damage. It is also effective for ending Light attack combos. The mashed Light version does lead to a knockdown, but can be punished if blocked. While the unmashed version doesn't lead to a knockdown, it does give Rashid great corner carry and okizeme. If the opponent blocks the unmashed version, it will be difficult for them to punish. Rashid can followup with the EX version of Spinning Mixer to make his opponent's scared to push buttons. This will open up the opponents and allow Rashid to add throws and low attacks to apply even more pressure.
The Medium version goes up in a diagonal trajectory, making it one of Rashid's anti-air attacks. It does more damage than the Light version and has tremendous corner carry and okizeme. It also scores a knockdown on hit. Rashid can even combo this move from EX Eagle Spike. However, it is very punishable on block. Additionally, it can sometimes whiff crouching opponents and it isn't one of Rashid's reversals.
Similar to the Medium version, the Heavy Spinning Mixer is also one of Rashid's anti-air attacks. It has a quicker startup, making this move more effective as an anti-air option. The Heavy version is the primary combo ender when Rashid has his opponent in the corner. Still, it is very unsafe on block. In Street Fighter 6, Heavy Spinning Mixer has an incredibly wide hitbox that lets Rashid hit cross ups unlike most anti-airs. However, it must be done preemptively, as it only gets air attack invulnerability on frame 6, making it difficult to use against deep jump-ins.
The EX version is often used as a reversal. It makes Rashid invincible at the startup and has better corner carry than the Medium version. This is his best option to escape pressure and to anti-air the opponent. However, Rashid can be vulnerable to Crush Counter moves if the opponent blocks it.
The Dash Spinning Mixer is also good as a rush-in attack. However, it should be known that while the Spinning Mixer can do plenty of hits, it deals lower damage than Rashid's other special moves. In Street Fighter 6, the move has been replace with Backup.
In Street Fighter 6, Rashid's Spinning Mixer can be enhanced when used with an Air Current that can be summoned from a held Whirlwind Shot or from his Level 2 Super Art. The number of hits increase, allowing Rashid to inflict more damage, as well as push the opponent closer to the corner. In addition to damage buff, each version has a 5-frame startup; 4 frames for the OD version. The Light version becomes +2 on block, making it a solid pressure tool. When the OD version is used, Rashid can cancel into Arabian Skyhigh to extend the combo and unlock more damage potential.
