Necalli General Thread: Necalli enters the Tournament!

Just check this out:

Heā€™s the least interesting character in the game so far, IMO. Too bad theyā€™ve managed to create an uninteresting character instead of coming up with awesome designs. Waste of a slot.

Other than his visuals in his V Trigger/Super Saiyan mode nothing about him jumps out to me either. His play style seems kinda all over the place, but not really defined all at the same time. I feel like once people lab him up heā€™ll look more interesting. Itā€™s just even when you watch people who have been somewhat dedicated to the character so far like Gootecks use him, heā€™s just kinda jumping around and hitting j.HK. He just looks very bare bones ATM, but weā€™ll see.

What normals cause crush counter?

s.hp: launch crush counter (testing needed to see what you can follow up with)
s.hk: far poke
f.hp: overhead

The only character so far that looks genuinely boring to play, and thatā€™s a shame because he has a cool design and the coolest looking V-Trigger.

Honestly, I like his play style for the most part. His charge move feels a little randomly added like they thought ā€œOkay, every character has to have x number of moves that counter fireballs soā€¦ He gets a Berserker Barrage thatā€™s fireball invincible?ā€ and I donā€™t like the Shoryu too much. But it looks like he has a really interesting mixup game with his stomps and command grab.

As a Cody player iā€™m interested in Necalli due to his seemingly brawler-like gameplay, however it isnā€™t clear what Capcom is going for. He has a lot of options, so i wonder how theyā€™ll all fit together. He seems very straightforward, which i like tbh. Instead of spreading myself too thin on many other character iā€™ll just grind it out with Necalli until Karin releases.

some nice matches on this channel https://youtube.com/user/IkariOmegaZX/videos

Necalli looks awesome from what I saw in the maximillian video, plan on playing him this beta. Its nice to see an interesting new design that hasnā€™t been done before. Iā€™m so glad they fixed his DP motion on his anti air

I kind of liked it being a flashkick, just so long as they made his cr.hp a decent antiair in its own right

This is pretty much the only new character that Iā€™m interested in playing. Going to spend a lot of time with him in the beta.

By the way, this thread should get renamed to ā€œItā€™s Devour Hour: The Necalli Threadā€

*Devour-hour-hour

Iā€™m not sure about how good he is or how defined is his playstyle but his tools are fun to use. He isā€¦ oddly satisfying to play as.

Iā€™ve seen you hating on like, every character. You main T Hawk and your name is ā€œSuper Sonicā€. You clearly donā€™t have a good taste in characters.

What characters would those be? Cause Iā€™m only ā€œhating onā€ this sucky Evil Ryu rip-off called Necalli and Zangief at the moment. And your opinions donā€™t matter because you joined SRK ā€œ10 days agoā€. Kappa.

I just canā€™t agree with this ā€œmost boring char so farā€. I dig Laura design, but her play style does look boring. Rashid may be be good, but so far he seems too gimmicky for my taste. Necalli on the other hand strikes me as solid, fundamental and a nice design imo, at least without any trace of goofiness, which we canā€™t say about the other two.

Some people may find him too barebones, and thatā€™s fair, but I still think he is the best newcomer and I wonā€™t change my mind unless Zen is a swag heavy-execution char like Viper.

I thought he was boring earlier, now he looks really fun. I want to play mika and necalli. Iā€™m gonna be playing him a bunch tomorrow for sure and I bet Iā€™ll be beating people that donā€™t understand him too.

His dive kick actually looks really good if you space it right (like most dive kicks). Also he just seems to frame trap people just by being himself. Cancelling into his stomps is like a frame trap. And you can combo AFTER THE STOMP so people have to hold back for a loooooong time if they get touched. All sorts of time for you to play games with them. Resets galore. If you want to screw around with stuff like stomp, s. jab, tick throw or whateverā€¦well thatā€™s available all day every day.

Iā€™ve seen you hating on Laura and the rest of the grapplers as well.

Also, Iā€™m dying of laughter that you flagged me for spam because youā€™re salty that I called you out.

thanks man this is awesome
