Necalli General Thread: Necalli enters the Tournament!

U guys on psn or pc?

Playstation here, not able to access beta 3 though, and my PS4 is new.(along with me being new to PSN besides vita account and old ps3 experience)

Awesome me too man wats ur psn?

TheOneVexal , add meh

i dropped a lot of combos, but this match is entertaining and i think the other necalli is really good

Nice gameplay, second round you really had that Necalli brainfucked as to what to do on wakeup. Well done m8

I canā€™t get over two things:

His cross-up whiffing so much.
His sweep whiffing so much.

Besides these two things, Necalli would be a beast.

Iā€™m PaulMorphy, Iā€™m sad you uploaded a match where I lost lol, but itā€™s all good. I adapted to the wakeup DP way too late. I managed to get 3100 LP by the end, which Iā€™m happy for.

Anyway, some new combos and stuff I found:

close up st.hk, cr.jab HP DP, no CH

st.fierce QCF MK, cr.mp xx v trigger, cr.mk MP rush/super/HP DP. I usually do MP rush for mixup and slight corner carry.

st.HK crush counter, LP rush/st.hk. If the done closer, you can do st.fierce MP rush.

In V trigger, cr.lk/crlp cr.lp HP DP works

EX command grab into sweep is good for better mixup midscreen.

Cr.mp CHs are so good and so easy to confirm. Also punishes sweeps and close hadoukens really well.

EX and LP command grab have about the same range, and both can be done after cr.jab/cr.lk. I actually think itā€™s better to go into regular grab since itā€™s safer and does similar damage.

Still donā€™t know what the hell his target combo is good for. Itā€™s hit confirmable, but so what, his other options do much more damage.

Zangiefā€™s EX SPD beats Necalliā€™s EX command grab. I know itā€™s kind of obvious considering the startup of both moves, but I like seeing moments like this!

Against zangiefā€™s v skill, you can do any normal (st.fierce works well) cancel into command grab, and zangief takes a shitload of damage; the grey damage from the st.fierce, and then the actual command grab. You just have to be really up close so that the command grab lands.

Corner EX command grab, reset, command grab, stun, combo.


Stomp is godlike

I only uploaded it because I thought the match was really entertaining. Very back and forth, I showed friends too, and they agreed.

His target combo ia literally godlike. Its meant as a counter poke to build v meter. Try using it against some normals, for example r mikas cr.mk. You can stuff it and confirm into vskill.

It requires strict spacing but its a good tool considering Necalli has mediocre footsies.

Target combo is good for v meter building but thatā€™s it.

Thatā€™s a pretty good reason to use it a bit more imo. You get V-Reversals quicker and you have faster access to V-Trig, if you choose to use it.

If u can get it to land its awesome but that short range of st.mk limits it a lot

cr.MK > HP uppercut (from any distance)
cr.MK > L or M rush (really useful for whiffing punish)
st.MP > M stomp (that really helps combos a lot instead of using st.HP!)
overheard (crush counter) > M rush
It seems his seismos have less both startup and recovery frames, but that will have to be confirmed. :pensive:

Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve found so far.

After that st.LP you can actually dash forward and cross under the opponent! Really good reset option.

Yup, I remember seeing that during the previous beta. It takes balls to go for the command grab twice on Zangief (with his SPD).

Thatā€™s great, didnā€™t know st.mp into MP stomp worked during V trigger, I was about to rule that normal as useless when cr.mp exists. I donā€™t think cr.mk HP uppercut works at max range, it misses there.

And yeah, the range on st.mk to target combo isnā€™t great, and my philosophy has always been damage > meter build unless the difference was negligible, like if the max damage combo only adds like 4 more damage. W/ Necalli, you need every bit of damage you can get lol, he already builds v trigger/super pretty fast. The one thing I thought about was doing cr.jab into st.mk, and if the the cr.jab CHs then the st.mk will link, allowing the target combo. But even that is silly when you can do cr.mp MK stomp if youā€™re counting on the CH, or you can just do jab x2 EX stomp/DP. If it works as a footsie tool then great, but st.hk and cr.mp are pretty decent normals, especially cr.mp from what I can tell. So I dunno, weā€™ll have to see when the final version comes out.

Oh, no, it really works at any range, trust me! :clown:
