As expected, Capcom revealed yet another new Street Fighter V character during the big EVO 2015 fighting game event in Las Vegas.
The wild haired and brutal-looking Necalli was unveiled during the festivities, but that wasn’t even the big news out of Capcom. The company confirmed that they will absolutely not be forcing players to play up for additional content packs to unlock new characters in the game… all content will be earnable via gameplay. Of course that may not mean that they won’t offer some shortcuts for players willing to pay for them. Either way, it’s great news for those thinking about picking up the game.
Check out new media for Necalli along with Capcom’s EVO announcements.

Releasing in Spring 2016, the title will launch with a core roster of 16 characters, including 4 brand new fighters to the Street Fighter universe. Capcom will continually add additional characters, making this the first iteration in the franchise where it?s possible for dedicated players to continue to expand on their gameplay experience without the need to purchase further titles in the series.
About Necalli
Possessing a wide variety of savage and close range attacks, all of Necalli?s moves have been forged through the heat of battle to ensure he?s inflicting maximum pain upon his opponents. Making full use of the Battle System mechanics, Necalli?s V-Skill allows him to pound the ground with both fists, creating an explosion that damages the enemy whereas the powerful V-Trigger allows him to channel a mysterious energy that changes his hair colour and alters his personality for a short period of time. Capcom will be revealing more information on Necalli?s origin and storyline in the coming months so stay tuned for more details.
