Necrid has been confirmed to return by SC's new producer Hoshino-san at the Namco panel at Comic-Con. So for us tournament enthusiasts his tournament legality may be something that is worth discussing and re-evaluating.
Back in the old SC forum days 10 years ago, we had a community "leader". He was employed by Namco I believe as a "community manager" and his name was WCMaxi. He basically dictated the rules and declared a ban on Necrid for the reason of "because fuck Necrid". Now I think back then people assumed Necrid was broken because he had a lot of the best moves from various characters, but I'm not really sure if his supposed "brokenness" was ever proven.
Here is a video showcasing his command list:
Now there's always the possibility that Project Soul will balance/tweak command lists, but for now let's just assume that it will remain the same as the original.
Should we let Necrid have a chance at tournaments before declaring him broken and banned? Or should we carry on the tradition of banning him "because fuck Necrid"?
