So fun fact about Necrid: In the HD version, one of his weapons (specifically Hex Luminae) is bugged to the point of being unusable. Because the game will freeze whenever an attack is blocked. (10/10 remaster amirite?)
He's kind of like Orge from Tekken 3, since his moves are pulled from established cast members. I think that's a solid gimmick, honestly. It's just that glowing chest thing makes him a little too sci-fi looking.
