Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Necro

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy Resources Archive Page

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Necro, real name Illia, is a Russian who was genetically experimented on by the Secret Society, leaving him with the ability to stretch his limbs like rubber and create electrical currents throughout his body. He first appears in Street Fighter III: New Generation.

He's equipped some incredibly long normals, high damage combos, good high/low game, and the ability to build stun at startling rates (with the use of Electric Snake especially). He also has divekicks to allow his offense to start when spaced well. His jump is very floaty which can be strange to adjust to, and give your opponent more time to react. With his long range buttons, also comes the downside of very extended hurtboxes so he takes smart decisions to avoid being easily counterpoked. A lot of his moves are unsafe as well, so picking your options wisely is important especially given his lower Health. His unorthodox playstyle is a double edged sword, requiring players to utilize a unique set of tools to succeed. Making the right decision can be immensely rewarding though, with his damage, corner pressure, and stun output (along with great stun juggles in the corner) allowing him to win a round off a single situation.

Super Arts

SA1: Magnetic Storm

An annoying anti-air/wake-up reversal super. Its lack of stock cripples Necro across the board somewhat, as it forces a decision between EX moves or a defensive option. Obnoxious to punish otherwise, even if baited, due to its variable length and subtle recovery animation. Best used in matchups where Necro plays a lot of defense or against highly agile opponents who don't stay on the ground for long.

SA2: Slam Dance

Generally considered his weakest super. Having a command grab for mixups sounds appealing, but it can be jumped on reaction after the super freeze. You can combo into it after Heavy Spin Hook, but HP Spin Hook, b.MK, EX Spin Hook does almost as much damage for less meter. It is, however, effective as an anti-air due to its extended invulnerability and active frames, as well as its almost instant recovery time allowing you to catch jump-outs with one of Necro's HPs.

SA3: Electric Snake

Best super by far, due to its high stun output, lending a substantial threat to Necro's offense. The 2 short-medium stocks also allow for EX move usage, greatly improving Necro's gameplan as a whole. Its relative speed renders it the best combo ender as well, and it can low-profile fireballs and standing pokes, allowing for whiff punish opportunities. Used in most every matchup.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Solid Damage and one of the higher stun outputs in the game are enough to validate his offense. Has great corner carry, scary corner pressure and offense, as well as solid high-low mix-ups and left-right setups to boot. Aside from his stretchy normals, most of his normals generally possess more range than other characters, allowing him to control more space effectively with poking, anti airing and whiff-punishing. Unorthodox playstyle can make playing against Necro difficult and tricky for people without a lot of experience in the matchup.

Many of his normals are unsafe, meaning you have to be careful with spacing. Has a relatively lower health pool when compared to the rest of the cast. Floaty jump, somewhat slow dash, and lack of a notable movement option can make him feel sluggish. Unorthodox playstyle is a double-edged sword, as it can also make him harder to understand on a low to intermediate level and thus labelled "weird" by many new players.

3S Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2)
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel (into itself or another light attack), refer to description for options. "self": Self-only chain cancel. Much more restrictive than a standard chain cancel. "tc": Target combo, refer to description for options. Successive attacks in a target combo may warrant their own move entry. "dash": Grounded dashes. "sj": Super jump. "sp": Special move. "su": Super Art.
Damage	Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching.
Kara Range	Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel.
Link	A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super.
Parry	This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
Throw range	Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect.

Used to combo into super, build meter in neutral, and create space in block strings. It combos into Light, Medium and EX Spin Hook, and can do the same with Snake Fang on crouching opponents. Can be used to confirm into Electric Snake or Magnetic Storm, and is fast enough to be used as a wakeup or reversal button while you still have throw invulnerability.

8 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Commonly used in post-taunt or post-stun situations due to its high damage and stun output. Combos into 1HP, EX Spin hook, and can combo into SA3 by linking into 2LP/LK or 5MP. Also comically plus on block, but tends to whiff on crouchers, and has quite a bit of pushback.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Another high damage normal. Grants fantastic corner carry, and is an important tool in Necro's infamous stun juggles and neutral throw combos. If done correctly, you can get up to six consecutive Elbow Cannons in the corner against Urien, Alex, and Hugo (and still juggle Magnetic Storm afterwards, or Slam Dance after five Elbow Cannons). Do note that during its active frames, it temporarily shifts Necro's throwbox (but not his actual position) forward, which can lead to being caught by command grabs at surprisingly long range.

It can halt any neutral approach, can be used in combination with up-backing when Necro is cornered, and is obnoxious otherwise due to its overhead property. Also annoyingly difficult to punish with anything beyond an air-to-air. Use and abuse it, though be wary of parries due to its single hit nature.

Also has significant forward movement, causing opponents to miss their parry direction if jumping in from close range. On the ground, buffering super behind it is a good way to catch dash-ins. LP version duration can be extended by mashing on whiff, but will end after one hit.

56 throw range Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 10, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Low hit-grab that cannot be parried. Best used to whiff punish at max range, and at the end of properly spaced strings to ensure its as safe as possible. It's also useful for grabbing opponents who like to red-parry your cancelable normals (usually back MP) into Tornado Hook. It also has terrifying corner carry. Slower versions are best avoided due to how incredibly minus they are on block. While it can be comboed out of, the throw often deals more damage than the actual combo, so avoid that unless aiming to optimize stun. Cannot be quick-recovered, granting additional time for oki setup.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Travels slightly further than MP version and is a little slower on startup. However, it has the best active and recovery speed so it may be useful in some oki setups, but you're usually better off using Drill Kick in most circumstances.

Self meter gain: Whiff: -40, Hit: -40, Block: -40. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 0, Block: 0. An average mix-up tool, best ticked into after 2LK/LP. Doesn't knockdown on hit, so its best used to end rounds or catch the opponent unawares. Can be used as a meaty mixup to trick the opponent into trying to parry twice (by whiffing the first hit), leading to a throw opportunity.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 13, Block: 5. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 3, Block: 0. Best left to blockstrings or after Drill Kick to catch crouchers. Also has a larger parry window than Flying Viper since it's a ground-based attack. Can briefly low-profile and reverse-dodge some attacks but it's not a significant change in his hitbox and position.

Necro turns his normal DP into a ball of electricity. Obnoxious defensive super that makes for a fantastic anti-air or wakeup tool, but it only stocks 1 bar, limiting EX usage. Best used in matchups where Necro plays defense (Twins, Dudley). Also really annoying to parry and/or punish, as it can be mashed to extend its duration, or can be left to rip and end early. When canceled out of Electric Blast as an anti-air, can cause very confusing mixup situations for parry-happy opponents due to its forward position-shift (on top of the already considerable forward position-shift from Electric Blast). Has 2f of startup invulnerability but can be grabbed by meaty throws and command throws.

61 throw range Necro grabs the opponent, and throws them behind him. Not recommended due to being jumpable after the flash, and the only option to combo into it spends more meter and deals less damage than combos that use 1 EX move. However, if used as an anti-air tool instead of a command grab, its 3f invulnerability and extended active frames can be surprisingly useful. It also recovers faster than any throw in the game, allowing you to bait opponents into jumping and getting hit by an anti-air to close out rounds.

Necro crouches and shocks the entire stage with lightning. His best super due to its comical stun output, giving a solid threat to his offense. As a super, it also benefits from an extended knockdown period that cannot be quick-recovered, allowing for an additional mixup setup on okizeme in conjunction with his Drill Kick. In the corner, you can follow this up with additional hits to accumulate a ridiculous amount of total stun (from his standard 4MK to MP Tornado Hook in the corner, Necro can inflict around 50 points of stun on many characters, or 54 points of stun on Remy.) It also low profiles many things, namely fireballs. Keep in mind that Necro is considered crouching for its entire duration, however. Has 3f of startup invulnerability and will not perform its full number of hits if it trades on startup (unlike most projectile supers, this is three separate projectiles coming out on separate startup frames). Can also be thrown out of startup.
