Because he was the emotional core of the story mode and people got attached to him despite being shit tier. His English VA is also Ian Sinclair and everybody likes that guy.

>despite being shit tier

He's definitely not shit tier, Manila Cup had 3 Rashid players in Top 4.

>>389856556
He's a man with a plan instead of some aloof weirdo

>>389857013
Rashid is high tier

>>389856556
Because he is the best new character

He was proclaimed as low-tier in Season 1, but looking back, he was definitely a dark horse in terms of tier listings.

Rashid was a much better character then that boring fuck Shaheen. Ironic since Harada was the one who suggested to Ono to make an Arab character

As a Rashid main since launch, he was mid in season 1 but now his definitely hugh tier. He isnt top tier though. He is in the perfect spot right now.
