Yeah, I always thought that Getepe probably was a reference to Bison or whatever Bison did to summon Necalli. When Necalli saw the Black Moon, he remembered Bison (possibly experienced the same psychic flash that Ryu experienced at that moment), and immediately left both Ryu and Dhalsim to find Bison. When they meet, Bison tells him “I’ve been waiting for you”, then when beaten, Necalli leaves Bison like the beta dog he is.
Perhaps that’s how Necalli works. When you beat him, you can command him. Bison probably tells him to go and challenge Ryu telepathically or something. When Necalli is beaten by Ryu, Dhalsim tells him to go away, and Necalli just listens.
Could the beast actually be tamed, even if momentarily, once beaten?
Necalli never was Bison’s dog, but he was still chained to the prophecy
Necalli is’nt being commanded, but he’s angry as fuck (more than scared/humbled he looks frustrated AF leaving Bison) that shit is’nt going according to the prophecy and he’s trying to bend things to make It work anyway
Ryu (meal #1) broke the prophecy by chosing to ask help of all people of the world to Sim (meal #2)
So Necalli can’t attack #1 one-to-one and can’t even try with #2 either… the latter he will have likely failed anyway (Sim will have likely pulled a sf4 Gouken>Akuma on him) without Ryu’s SnH
Only left alone is Bison (#3), so he try to break himself prophecy 123 order and go to him
But he can’t defeat him without 1+2, so he have to surrend to the fact he CAN’T break the prophecy order and go back to Ryu/#1
Problem Is in that time to second clash Ryu removed what made him previously the easiest #1 meal (succumb to SnH), wich broke the prophecy cycle and any Necalli Hope
He can’t eat #1
So can’t eat #2
So can’t eat #3
Him attacking Akuma was made to show him desperate and without direction (prophecy) anymore
He attacked Balrog also, and tried to eat Nash. So he is not chained to the prophecy that tightly. Additionally, his attack on Akuma happened after Ryu x Necalli but his attack on Balrog was before.
Between two Ryu fights he also tried to eat like everyone in the chopter scene… His natural instinct still is eat warriors to get stronger
But eat specifically RyuSimBison and fullfil the prophecy Is his reason to exist
An explanation to attack Akuma could be that after lose to Ryu’s new power he istinctively wanted absorb somebody able to kill Ryu (as SFV Akuma is) but at same time having same “weak point” Ryu used to have (SnH)
Wich Is essentially Garuda>Akuma in SFEX
But (sadly) SFV Akuma showed to be too much and neither Necalli absorb trick or Ryu with new Power could stop him
MK is doing lots of popculture stuff regarding DLC, its okay for them since thats what MK is in 90s, gameplay is meh in those era. The only MK I played properly those times was MK3.
I just hope someday this DLC characters would be in one game like a WB cinematic allstar fighting game.
It’s a shame guest characters keep taking half of the slots of the DLC character packs in NRS fighting games, even though I like Spawn & Terminator. They could’ve added more fan-favorites or at the very least an MK4 character. I was hoping for Fujin (especially after Ed Boon posted a friggin’ MK4 logo on Twitter, though he’s leaked for Pack 2), but whatever.
I was bothered by T7 getting TWD shit, and i didn’t even bought T7 lol
I bought SC6 and the waifu robot was sad, but my heart on SC6 became cold before that
On other hand, recent great guest stuff
TK7 Geese - godlike
FEXL Terry - great
SC6 Hoamaru - very good
TK7 Akuma - good
SC6 Geralt - good idea poor adaption
As general rule i’m glad SF did’nt got infested by guest chars
If they do a good pick will love see some chars from SNK or TK jump in as guest, but the risk of bullshit is too high, specially considering when they pick a guest, “quality” rarely is theyr first (or second) point
Plus so many SF universe chars i will love to sneak in at last seasons in SFV, waste a single slot will be criminal lol
The only guest characters I’d appreciate in SFV are Billy Lee & Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon, aka the true Chinese martial artists.
But even then they can just add the SF twins.
We have so many cool characters and side characters in SF that adding guest characters would be nothing short of absurd for any reason other than marketing and money.
MK’s greed will be its downfall. They already sell like hotcakes, yet they still pack HALF the season with bullshit guests for easy cash. I can understand 1 guest character, but 3?!
