Necalli General Thread: Necalli enters the Tournament!

Here you guys go the final tutorial from me this basically has EVERYTHING necalli has to offer and finally shows what necallis v-trigger fully does so that you can finally know everything it offers. There is also two RTF’s in the description please download those as they have the BULK of the information.

Basically the Necalli Bible I would like to think of it as.

Just note that the counter hit notations are applicable to all jumpins and crossups and grounded combos. They all stem under the same tree. With counter hits I literally studied every one and what you could do at literally each range to maximize damage.
And basically these rules for what you could do during counter hitting apply with all other combos and streamlines his damage output as much as possible.

Take a look at tell me what you think enjoy!

BTW if for some reason the files become confusing to you feel free to ask and ill give explanation some of it can be hard to read I had to apply a LEGEND to it so that it could be readable.

if you guys can do me favors:

  1. tell me if the mu threads format seems good enough
  2. start posting information using the format and when the game comes out I’ll start filling it in

Yeah, it doesn’t seem like he has a go-to poke, so that’s appears to be his primary weakness. On the plus side, I feel like he has everything else covered, aside from a left/right mixup but I’m fine with the gimmicks.

He looks pretty sick in this window:

I am looking forward to finally being able to play Necalli (setting up my PS4 tonight), but I am wondering: has anyone noted any drawbacks from his V-Trigger aside from inability to use V-Reversal? Does he take increased damage from attacks or anything like that?

Ultima Cloud - that’s a great, very comprehensive video, well done

Thanks. If you download the two files in the discription of the video it goes into MUCH greater detail. There was more than I could throw into a video it would have been like 40 mins long LOL

Necalli feels the same as beta 4 so far

Are we still seeing a release day patch?

Combofiend said the Beta and the release day game will feel totally different. So, either the release date patch is a thing and it will change a lot, or Combofiend once again didn’t tell it like it is.

Everyone says every character feels like Beta 4.

Combofined said that game will be so much different at release…but I don’t trust him… hope I am wrong, but u never know…
how possible is that we gonna get like big patch at release? and I don’t think they will nerf/buff necalli… he is at the sweet spot atm …

I remember hearing a few times that a decent sized patch would be sent out when the game actually releases. Maybe it’s already available (A few people said they did have to download something when they put it in their PS4, so maybe the patch is essentially making it Beta #4 lol).

I guess we’ll see on Tuesday.

Patch is live already.

I had a feeling that was the reality. Oh well.

How good is Necalli without V-Trigger? I heard Mike Ross say in a stream that somebody (i forget who exactly) said that he’s like Hakan without oil. Is that accurate? I didn’t get much experience with Necalli through the entire beta phase but I do plan on maining him. I’m just curious about how large or small the difference in viability is with and without the transformation.

Absolute horse shit. He’s just fine without V-Trigger.

However, when he activates it he really does grow a bigger pair, that’s for sure. But that’s not to say in his un-activated state he’s gimped.

People who say that are just saying things to appear knowledgeable.

Necalli without v trigger is a very good character. Hes just crazier in v trig.

His advantages are present with or without v trigger. vt just amplifies them.

Mike Ross also said that the statement isnt true, because he plays Necalli as well and he knows better.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought it sounded like a stretch, considering Hakan without oil is one of the worst characters in SFIV.

Necalli without vt is still a candidate for top tier imo

Edit: What the fuck? Tried to send that shit three days ago, lol.

Still trying to figure out what his main buttons are. St.RH for poke and st.MP seems to be the basic combo starter.

How exactly? I mean I haven’t sat in the lab enough with him but outside of 5hk and 2mk his normals are ok at best. His dp isn’t anything special and in my opinion he lacks any good Blick strings. Also that command grab is booty lol
