Street Fighter's WEIRDEST character?

  • We're here playing some Street Fighter 3: Third Strike! Today we're investigating a character who doesn't see a lot of love in the rest of the Street Fighter series, it's Necro! Necro is a really unique rushdown character with unconventional neutral but very high damage and stun potential with his insane juggle combos and super. I'll be running through what the character is capable of, then hopping online against my friend Mothman to see what this character can do in the right hands!

      Chun-Li's only weakness is that she doesn't have big damage without bar, which doesn't matter too much, since the range of her normals means she can lame the hell out if she gets health advantage.

    Would like to see a new SF that is like Third Strike with useable taunts, parries, and three different options for supers. Q is such a great character, as well as Remy, Necro, Alex, Sean and such. Although some supers were more useful than others, it was still cool as they could provide for different strategies. Tengu stones is a great example of this, completely changes the character but even his command throw one does quite a lot of damage if landed a couple times with some great animations.

    I want to see players who use Slam Dance. I've seen the 2 other super arts used effectively at high level but not that one. I refuse to believe that there's no one who has mastered that.

      Pikachuakuma has one, "Slam Dance Madness".

    With Dhalsim and Blanka both in sf6 necro has almost no chance of making it back unless they completely change him as a Fighter because his style is literally those two combined.

    Yes!!!! He was so weird in a good way like blanka was; he would be a great DLC

    As someone who could easily cosplay as Necro, I agree he should be in more stuff.

    I really wish that Necro and Remy gain a second chance in SF3 since Elena is added as a season 2 character.

    I want Necro to be in SF6 very bad I even consider adding him and other SF3 characters who deserve the chance to comeback alongside Elena.
