His original appearance (which serves as an alternate costume in-game), before consuming the Warrior Prophet, consists of ancient Aztec armor, headgear and gauntlets. Unlike the other characters, Necalli doesn't show a skeleton when he is electrocuted but instead shows an empty black silhouette. His skin darkens noticeably while the sclera of his eyes turn from white to ghastly black. The scars on both his body and face glow red and flash when certain moves are used. His hair bursts loose from its bonds, lengthens, and glows bright red. Upon activating his V-Trigger his appearance changes dramatically. Necalli wears only a tattered white kilt adorned with a gold and brown snake patterned loincloth, a golden belt, and brown open-toed boots. He also has several massive crisscrossing scars covering his chest and arms. He has yellow eyes and four black streaks on his face.

You can mash a punch button for Electric Thunder, and charge for rolling attacks.īlanka has plenty of attacks which hit his opponent from behind, so he should have decent mix-up potential (a command grab called Wild Hunt, which sees Blanka leap forward, will help here). The video, below, shows his Street Fighter 5 incarnation retains the electricity-based attacks Blanka is famous for.
