As you can see, Necalli means business. In honor of the announcement, PlayStation logged onto the blogosphere to discuss his role in next year’s addition to the nearly 30-year franchise:
The “V-Trigger” mentioned replaces the “Focus” mechanic as a critical power-up unique to each character. One of Necalli’s V-Triggers undoes his braids to reveal a crimson mane, unleashing a beast state and utilizing a completely new set of moves.
Franchise-favorite Ken Masters is the newcomer’s unfortunate opponent in the preview. Though he doesn’t get a chance to counter in the video, Ken also relies upon quick, close-range attacks. Unlike Necalli’s devastating onslaughts, however, Ken’s movements are fluid and versatile. It’ll be interesting to see neophyte Necalli go head-to-head with classic characters like Ken in a legitimate match.
Necalli is one of four brand new characters on a roster of 16 set to be available at the game’s launch. More fighters will be released later on, all of which can be unlocked in-game or purchased for download. Street Fighter V is set for release March 2016.
How do you think Necalli will fare against the returning characters?
