Just before the Ultra Street Fighter 4 top 8 -- EVO 2015's big finale -- Capcom unveiled the next fighter set to join the Street Fighter 5 roster.

Today, we saw the first brand new fighter to enter the game -- Necalli.

Necalli is the first of four original warriors making their debut in Street Fighter 5 and entering the Street Fighter franchise for the first time. Necalli is a savage fighter that battles using hard-hitting, close-range attacks. He has a command throw, a ground pound that can be hit at different places on screen, and more.

Hit the jump to read about his V-Skill, V-Trigger, and also to check out his official trailer.

V-Skill: Necalli's V-Skill is called "Culminated Power." This skill comes in the form of a ground pound attack that can be used to pressure the opponent and have its distance altered by holding left or right on the controller.

V-Trigger: Torrent of Power is Necalli's V-Trigger. When activated, the character uses a mysterious energy to transform his personality for a short time. During V-Trigger, Necalli gains access to new combos, new frame data, and a new Critical Art.
