Doesn’t Necalli worship the sun? I know he has a move that references the sun so I think that may have something to do with it.

What I wanna know is [details=Spoiler]after Ryu gets his ass handed to him, why does Necalli leave after the black moon has eclipsed the sun?[/details]

[details=Spoiler]I think after the Bison vision he decided he has to take care of things. Once he saw the psycho sphere blot out the sun he yelled out a name I don’t recognize and got SUPER Pissed off. So maybe he is now shifting his focus directly to Bison or focusing on Bison, but needing to find this “Getepe” if it’s a thing or person. Any ideas?
[/details]
Also, after listening to the English va clip. Dhalsim does indeed nosell the SNH punch to his back, you can hear the impact sound. I’ve never been this excited to see 'Sim and I’m loving his new guru state. They better not kill him off, though looking at how he didn’t blink at Necalli’s presence makes me think he’ll be fine.

[ES_Curse]

I don’t think getepe is a person. It’s one of his generic win quotes, so it’s probably something he can just say similar to Akuma saying Messatsu. Even if it has meaning, it’s probably a reaction to the sun being blocked.

[Shockdingo]

Hmm, according to this post

Getepe is the “fonetic” sound of a word in hebrew (biblical)

you can found this word in Matyu 20:1 from hebrew bible

http://www.bible.is/search?s=getepe&volume=ENQPNGN2ET

the last word (Pe) פ from hebrew alphabet means mouth.

the complete word also is refered as vineyard and fruit in the bible

So the bible poetic definition means:
**“Fruit of mouth” **or “Fruit of live” which has sense with necalli cause he likes to devour our our souls.

I still don’t find how the hebrew word write exactly but I have the meaning thats the important.

[YagamiFire]

Could…could Necalli be hunting down Bison? Is Bison the ultimate Hot Pocket for Necalli?

[YagamiFire]

Also…can anyone link me a an in-game pic of Urien’s character model if such a thing exists?

Necalli doesn’t seem to be evil. More like a force of nature.

Dhalsim does say he appears only at the time of calamity ‘when many warriors are needed’.

It seemed to me that he was trying to rally Nash and Ryu (in his own twisted way). He induced those visions in Ryu that revealed Bison’s (or Illuminati’s) plot.

As for Getepe, it’s also a word in Indonesian (no idea what it means in that language though).

Someone on Reddit speculates it could mean ‘get up!’ in Portuguese; it would make sense if he’s asking Ryu to do just that and fight Bison (https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/4glyxz/necalli_getepe/).

They haven’t put out his article yet, but do you think you could do this Sawada image for me?

That’s definitely not Hebrew. That’s the Enga language of Papua New Guinea. The word could well mean “vineyard” in Enga (and I’m skeptical an Engan knows about wine… “fruit” is a more reasonable deduction), but I don’t think that’s a clue.
Nor I think Capcom developers have a clue about what Enga is.

the last word (Pe) פ from hebrew alphabet means mouth.

And this is correct; still, you can’t mix Enga and Hebrew and think you have the meaning… That’s wishful thinking, not a serious linguistic research.

My Indonesian dictionary has nothing about it. Where did you find that?

That doesn’t make sense, as “get up” in Portuguese is levanta-te!, and I’d have a hard time figuring out just how that could be pronounced GETEPE.

[crash_and_burn]

You must defeat Getepe to stand a chance.

[NeloVergil]

It’d be funny if Getpe really did turn out to be just him saying Get up. Theorizing niggas would be on suicide watch.

Could…could Necalli be hunting down Bison? Is Bison the ultimate Hot Pocket for Necalli?

That’s what I said earlier:

Now that I have a long break in my room, I can fully comment on recent developments in regards to the story.
-Ryu is definitely focused on Necalli right now, and Dhalsim is helping Ryu.
-Team Heroes looks to be Chun, Guile, Cammy, and Rashid
-Nash wants Bison, but seemingly has to fight Guile for his “key”. The Necalli bit is interesting.
-The Kanzuki squad, Karin, Ibuki and Birdie, will be separately trying to stop Bison?
-Wrestling/Grappler subplot ties Mika, Gief, Alex, and Laura together AND puts them all in NY when the PSA pops.
-So there’s seven pieces, and we’ve seen them in possession by Rashid, Alex, Guile, and Chun. 3 are still unaccounted for as of now. Who sent them? Fang seemingly gives Alex his, so perhaps he does it as an elaborate taunt? I don’t think he would be dumb enough to send them to Guile and Chun, so maybe someone within/infiltrating Shadowloo did it, probably Viper.

Wrestling sub-plot will likely tie into Karin somehow given her relationship with Mika established in Alpha and having been shown to have interest both as a fan and financially in the wrestling entertainment industry. I would not be surprised to see some sort of cross over there, in addition Birdie has a connection to Bison but also could just as easily be moved into wrestling with his personality/style.

My money is on the chess pieces being tied to the Illuminati rather than Bison or Necalli, makes sense for a secret society to be cryptic. This points to Urien.

Alex’s screenshot fighting a Shadaloo goon points to a further deepening of the original prologue. Perhaps this is what leads to the illuminati taking an interest in him? Not sure, SOMETHING is going on there unless it’s just part of the extra mode and not tied to the story at all.

Here are some kind of bordering on “fan story” type plot potentials given how far I take them:
Hasn’t the illuminati been around quite a while but been secret? I could easily see the relationship between Nash’s absorbing powers and Necalli’s being related to illuminati experiments and them tracking the rebirth of Necalli and trying to harness his abilities or create an artificial version of them via Nash. Kind of a long stretch to go down but, to me, feels like a pretty logical leap for their characterization and how these types of stories are often written.
**
Nash and Ryu are clearly the most “energy” powerful characters beyond Bison, it makes sense for Necalli to want to feed on them. Makes me wonder if we might see some interaction between Necalli and Bison. Urien/Necalli is also a possibility instead, and that feeds back into the illuminati / Nash / Chun, Guile, Cammy storyline. That one is definitely a large stretch but feels plausible.**

Rashid’s story seems half throwaway still, just a fun way to to move him around and guide you to other characters. He seems too goofy and inconsequential at the moment, even with the Viper attachment. All he is doing is trying to recover one of his hacker friends, but that doesn’t seem THAT important. At best it gives us some info into the start of the Bison plot but nothing that actually effects the end result. However, if Chun’s search ties into him, as his appearance in the preview indicates as a possibility, it could end up more important than I think now.

The ninjas in the Shadaloo stage potentially pointed to a future scene in the story, the is post shadow fall sequence starting I believe. I actually think they tie into Geki or Guy’s clan rather than Karin or Ibuki’s. Given the blue look and the sword, they especially appear to be a lot like the redesign of Geki rather than how we know Karin’s ninjas look like as well as Ibuki’s clan uniform. Remember, there still is a high chance of guest appearances, we already know Sean is making an appearance, in 3D model no less.

Juri/Ed/Balrog/Urien/Ken all have yet to appear post prologue sequence so we are certainly missing a large chunk of potentially direction so this could all go out the window.

I’m not sure why Nash is seeking Guile for what appears to be some sort of revenge, we already know Nash is pretty much strictly revenge driven now. His memory seems hazy so it could be for answers, but it could also be a sense of betrayal by Guile/Chun given his “death.” It is interesting, to me, that they have effectively turned “Shadow” canon now as much of Shadow’s plots were based around attacking Chun/Guile without memory or under the control of a third party. We could look to that for at least hints of what happened. They will remain non-canon but can lead us to some conclusions.

I feel we will see some guests that aren’t related to Season 1 that could appear in Season 2 or are simply plot driven. We have yet to see if Oro will do anything at all.

I can easily see some leftover plot points from SIN or Blece bleeding into this plot but that is the biggest stretch of all of these.

No knowledge if we will find out more about the Nash - Abel storyline hinted in SF4. SF5 takes place post SF4 but, as we’ve seen with the prologue, there is no reason that they strictly need to conform to a forward moving timeline, we could see snippets of the past mixed in to make certain plot points have context.

Last but not least: I just realized a stupid pun, with Abel’s arm broken he is currently DIS-Abeled rimshot

Bison / Ryu / Nash / Urien all seem like logical snack choices for Necalli to look for.

[OceanMachine]

Hmmm… Necalli feeding on Bison doesn’t make much sense. From what Dhalsim says to Ryu in the scenes we’ve seen it looks like Necalli is a guardian spirit that absorbs human souls in order to become stronger and save the Earth from its doom. His goal is probably to destroy Bison since he’s the one who put the moons in the sky.
If it’s actually like those 20 minutes suggest it to be, then Necalli’s character is deeper than I thought. He’s actually both a good and a bad guy - bad guy working for the good. He reminds me a little of the dragons in Chrono Cross in that he’s a guardian of the planet that can kill human beings to save it.

[Daemos]

Necalli just cares about eating strong souls during the only time he is able to eat strong souls. Don’t overthink him, because he most likely is really that 2-dimensional.

[DarthEnder]

Also, I kinda doubt that a guardian spirit of the Earth would actually have a problem with someone EMPing the entire planet.

Anything that lays waste to modern civilization is probably A.Okay with the Earth.

Charlie is going after Guile because of the piece he possesses as told by Kolin that blonde girl.
