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, like versus Dudley.
SA2: Slam Dance
Don’t use this 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.
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.

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.
|
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. |
