MvC3: Morrigan Official Combo Thread

vizard2605 · February 22, 2012, 8:40pm

yo, hi guys. I’m kinda new to morrigan but I do spar with a Morrigan vet. (RainingTyrant dunno if he posts here) and while I’m just learning her (playing Morrigan/Wesker/[Doom/IM]) I do like this really good combo:

any quick hit , l.shadow blade Fly. H.soul fist, LAND (j.H xx H.soul fist FLY ADD j.H xx H.soul fist)x2 into m.shadow blade xx Fly H.shadow blade xx finishing shower

Does pretty decent damage too.

I like this combo because I generally mix in l.shadow blade into my combos as a frame trap.

works if you do jump shadow blade too.

If you mix this in with the mid-screen BnB that’s already around You can easily get full damage hitconfirms from around super jump height!

I’m pretty sure that the combo isn’t optimized.

Tyrant has a conver variant with s.H soul fist (which I cannot attempt cause my arcade stick JUST broke ¬_¬)

I was trying to do that with Shdow Blade M, how are you getting the j.H soul fist to land after you land? That was a stopping point for me, just tried it with Shadow Blade L and I still can’t get that to land either. Sounds like a great combo when it works haha.

EDIT: derp, just added a j.M before the j.H and now I can hit it haha, wow I think I have to steal this!

I would think Shadow blade M causes the damage to scale pretty fast. To optimize Morrigan’s damage, you’re going to want to stick with soul fist and harder hitting single moves like j. :h:, f+:h:, st.:s:, etc.

I know that haha, I just hadn’t considered using Shadow Blade L for some reason. The combo is not easy, that’s for sure. Trying to see if I can do my normal Hidden Missiles ender for soul drain, but i’m struggling to get through the whole thing haha. does way more damage meterless than my old soul fist loop though.

Holy crap this combo is tough. Got through it 3 times and each time I ended it wrong. Now my fingers don’t want to do what I want them to do :shake:

Gefen · February 23, 2012, 11:27am

Is it really worth it?

Tomo009 · February 23, 2012, 11:54am

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be? Looks fantastic to me and I’m practicing it.

Gefen · February 23, 2012, 1:07pm

Does it give more damage? more meter gain? it sure isn’t look any easier…

Tomo009 · February 23, 2012, 1:35pm

Not sure what combo you are comparing too, but it does more damage (and I assume meter gain but haven’t checked) than the soul fist loops I’ve done in the past. Not sure if I can get a hidden missiles ender off the full thing though, I can get the soul fist loops but then have a mental blank at simply S+A2 for some reason.

Settai · February 23, 2012, 11:42pm

Well the fact that it starts with a Shadow Blade L makes it worthwhile alone imo. Pretty much gives Morrigan a completely safe blockstring, meaning we don’t have to hitconfirm anymore (not that it was hard in the first place). Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if Shadow Blade L cancelled into flight leaves us at frame advantage, which would be pretty neat for mixups and whatnot.

On the flip side its pretty difficult, but no where near unpractical. As for damage and meter gain thats yet to be seen. Like I said I did the combo up until the Shadow Blade M part 3 times yesterday and used launcher on accident each time. The damage before the launcher was around 490k, so that at least puts in on par with the combo Smexy posted.

shiro-chan · March 15, 2012, 7:43pm

hey, you guys have great combos but does morrigan have some fancy tac combos? thatd make her a better option for 2nd which i think wud be pretty effective for my morrigan team.

Nooneyouknow · March 16, 2012, 12:48am

Morrigan has no double jump, and cannot air dash cancel her normals, so she doesn’t get anything amazing off TACs.

shiro-chan · March 16, 2012, 5:06pm

that sucks :/can she do a fire ball loop rep off a down tac? my execution with her is really lacking

Momochuu · March 26, 2012, 5:29am

So what are you guys using as your BnBs? I’m torn between trying to learn that Bmeister’s loops or just doing the normal rejump soul fist loops. The Bmesister one is REALLY hard.

Settai · March 26, 2012, 5:57am

My BnB is the Mid Screen SF Loop that Smexy posted. I’m not sure what the Bmeister loop is

Momochuu · March 26, 2012, 6:04am

I guess it’s that one, yeah.

Oerba · March 26, 2012, 6:07am

I’ve been doing :l:c.:h: f.:h: j.:h: :qcf::h: :qcb::s: ADD :h: :qcf::h: :qcb::s: j.:h: :qcf::l: :qcb::s: ADD :h: :qcf::l: :qcb::s: :s: j.:h: :dp: :qcb::s: :s:

(bleh this code stuff for the letters is hard, hopefully I got this right…)

Settai · March 26, 2012, 6:40am

Oh what part in particular are you finding difficult? Personally the hardest part of that combo is getting pass the game’s ridiculous buffer system. After launching and doing the heavy, I was getting a Shadow Blade instead because the game kept thinking I was doing SRK motions. I also do the combo Oerba posted when I’m feeling pressured and need to make sure my combo completes. It does less damage than the other Soul Fist loop, but its easier and I think it builds more meter as well.

Momochuu · March 26, 2012, 4:25pm

Hardest parts for me are the Soul Fist fly j.H Soul Fist Unfly and the j.H Soul Fist Fly Airdash down j.H Soul Fist in the corner variation. I’ve yet to try the midscreen one because I’ve never been able to do the corner one. It just seems like a really really hard combo in general.

Settai · March 27, 2012, 7:21am

It is a very difficult combo at first. Only combo that took me longer to learn is Dante’s bold cancel BnB and I have learned almost every characters BnB. What is happening when you are trying to that part of the combo. Its hard to give advice without specifically knowing because SO many things can go wrong when doing her combos. You could be flight cancelling to late, to early, not at all, j.H could be whiffing, SF could be whiffing, could be getting SB instead of SF, and so forth.
