that seems like its just easy enough for me to do.
whats the damage and meter gain on it?
To answer this definitively now that I’ve confirmed: the Shadow Blade that cancels flight mode counts as a non-flight air action. So Shadow Blade xx flight, link combo, Shadow Blade is 3 air actions, and cannot be canceled into a hyper. Soul Fists done during flight count as the flight air action. So take all of her vanilla air combos, and throw them away unless you want meterless damage.
I have my own variation of the airdash combo that feels a lot more natural to me, and I just wanted to throw it out there.
J.h, Cr.H, Forward H, J.M ,J.M, J.H, Soul fist M xx fly, AD down, J.M, J.H, Soul Fist H xx unfly, S, J.M, J.H xx Shadow Blade M xx Finishing Shower (630K with mash.)
EDIT: Forgot to say it works midscreen too, but it’s a little tighter than in the corner.
^ Is that damage correct?
Ok, been working out this combo and apparently, you can psuedo-loop it (I guess you can call it the soul fist loop). Though it requires spot on execution (which I don’t have, in addition to me not being a Morrigan player)
j.:h:, cr.:h:, :f:+:h:, (jump), j.
, j., j.:h: xx :h: soul fist xx flight ~ ADDF ~ j.:h: xx :h: soul fist xx unfly, (land), :f:+:h:, (jump), j., j.:h: xx :h: soul fist xx flight ~ ADDF ~ j.:h: xx soul fist xx unfly, (land), st.:s:, (sj), j., j., j.:h: xx Shadow Blade xx Hyper 1: Finishing Shower.
The damage i got was a measly 630K (mashed), but this was ending in the corner.
For the “flight ~ ADDF ~ j.:h:” parts, you need to hit directly below the opponent in the air for this combo to work and st.:s: to connect. You need to realize how good Morrigan’s flight/unfly is, and how fast you can act after it.
Honestly, this combo is not for online, and it’s definitely going to take me a while to get it down. (I’m also switching to Hitbox soon -_- ; which definitely isn’t going to help me very soon)
Oh Victor von Doom, you make everyone better. With Hidden Missiles as assist 1:
whatever ground combo, :s:~:a1:, sj MMHS, land Missiles OTG, Soul Drain. Works in the corner, should work mid screen too, though I haven’t confirmed yet. Highly useful for me since I’m going to try and stick with Doom/Morri/Jean as my primary team, but should be useful for anyone who feels like forgoing spending bar to drain some instead.
Does the soul drain combo into shower? cus then a full bnb probably still results in a net gain of bar.
also sick reset potential.
Activate Mirror super.
Any move you can do to get in will combo into F+M which will combo into QCF+S, which when fly canceled combos into immediate air S.
F+M - Soul Drain - fly - S
It doesn’t really matter what you do to combo into this, the combo will drop either before the standing L link or very shortly after.
Air S - st. L - st. M - F+M - QCF+S - fly - S
^^^ is a working combo.
But since you know that and they dont, either they will just let you hit them with the rest of the combo, or theyll (more likely) be holding down back. In which case you can simply fly into an immediate S again for the overhead. At that point you can go into a regular bnb, or hell, you can go right back into the same combo and tap the poor scrub for another 60% of his meter.
Note, that in order to do this combo, you have to have the mirror up.
I didnt have much time to test this. So I dont know all of the implications, but the above is what I know for sure.
The below is pure speculation.
You may be able to air dash after the soul drain and throw in any number of things in the combo.
Something like, soul drain, fly, soul fist, unfly, air dash S might work, but theres no way you could get a ground series after that. But that might set up for a vector drain. Since you know that they will be out of hitstun.
I would assume that in order to keep morrigan from being OP, they designed it so that soul drain does a total number on the HSD for combos, so we couldnt just eat all of every ones bar for free.
If you do it the shorter way I noted above, you might be able to link a standing M but it would be really tight. If you could get a standing M, then you might be able to get a launch into a combo or standing M to dark quills, though I SERIOUSLY doubt you could pull 2 meter drains in one combo.
instead of canceling the fly after the soul drain, you might be able to hit with an M shadow blade, into super or something, but if you hit with the DP you cant combo, normally. because of the air action limit.
If there is a way to hit with a ground series after this, you are most likely going to want to make it as short as possible, launch, go into a TAC and continue the combo from there.
Now that we have a way to combo into meter steal, this chick is going to be a force. Her utility goes up massively.
Ok, I’m certain Hidden Missiles can be used to link to Soul Drain mid screen, but I keep just barely missing it. Corner it’s a piece of cake, and because there;s still at least one more missiles coming after the soul drain you should pretty much always be able to Finishing Shower as well I think.
Edit: Finally got it mid screen, with a simple combo of :a1: c:m:>c:h:>:s: sjc >:m:>:h:>:s: land, Soul Drain It’s really timing specific outside of the corner. In the corner, just hit :a1: about the time as you launch, basic air string, Soul Drain as soon as you land, and Finishing Shower when it hits.
Now that I think of it, this might work with Double Typhoon too.
Ending with j.M j.H xx M DP xx fly, j.S does 460.4 and gets one bar(and of course leaves you fullscreen for fireball stuff).
Ending with j.M j.H xx M DP xx Finishing Shower got me ~645 at best(midscreen), and builds + uses one bar.
Ending with j.H xx M DP xx fly, jH xx H Soul Fist xx Darkness Illusion does 876.9 and leaves you at -2 bars. This works at any point on the screen.
Well, that was max damage I got when I did the midscreen version ( the corner version does far less damage, like 575K). Midscreen average was about 600-620K if you time it right, and it really helps to add a Cr.H after Soul fist H to help prepare for the buffer into shadow blade M into finishing shower. Maybe it’s character specific though, I haven’t really tried it with anyone besides Dante, She Hulk, and Jill.
Another corner combo that I like and really want to break the 900k barrier for is:
J.H, Cr.H, Forward H, Soul Fist H xx fly, J.M, J.H, Soul Fist M xx unfly (LAND) jump up forward, J.M, J.M, J.H, Soul Fist M xx fly, AD down, J.M, J.H, Soul Fist H xx unfly (LAND), S, J.H, Shadow Blade H xx Darkness Illusion. (About 893K with mashing)
I can’t really come up with anything to break the 900K barrier without assist or X-Factor though.
Add cr.H before the launcher. You can take out the j.M after the air dash too. The exact combo I did was:
J.H, Cr.H, Forward H, Soul Fist H xx fly, J.H, Soul Fist H xx unfly (LAND) jump up forward, J.M, J.M, J.H, Soul Fist M xx fly, AD down, J.H, Soul Fist H xx unfly (LAND), Cr.H, S, J.MMH, Shadow Blade H xx Darkness Illusion
917k
j.S, st. L, st. M, f.M, Soul Drain, fly, j.S, Shadow Blade M, fly, j.H, j.S, launch, j.MMH, Shadow Blade M, Finishing Shower, Shadow Blade
620k, 730k+ starting with j.H instead of j.S, st.L.
Not so much a combo but a fun little DHC…
DHCing from Hsien-Ko’s Cheiritou (Blades) super immediately into Astral Vision will give Morrigan enough time to launch 2 volleys of Soul Drain, of which at least 3 blasts will always connect. This yields you about 90% of an opponents bar, basically paying for Astral Vision right there.
Astral Vision combos. I added another Shadow Blade before the launcher:
st. M, f.M, Soul Drain, fly, j.S, Shadow Blade M, fly, j.H, j.S, Shadow Blade M, fly, j.H, j.S, launch, j.MMH, Shadow Blade M, Finishing Shower, Shadow Blade
700k starting with j.S, st.L, 822k starting with j.H to c.M/st.M. 60% meter gain after super (not counting AV). Works anywhere.
With Hidden Missiles:
j.H, st. M, f.M, Soul Drain, fly, j.S, Shadow Blade M, fly, j.H, j.S, Doom assist, launch, j.MMHS, Soul Drain, Finishing Shower, Shadow Blade
720k, 100% meter gain after super (not counting AV). 813k, 130% meter with two Shadow Blades before the launch. Works anywhere without having to change the timing of Hidden Missiles. Sometimes the clone knocks the target behind you at the end of the air combo. If they go behind you in the corner, you can still get the combo with a Soul Drain, but mid-screen you have to change it to Soul Fist M.
Vereth, you are my favorite person ever.
I feel like that should be a main bnb. I mean, a combo that gains two meters flat out after the meter nerf is huge. I feel like the meter you take from them is totally worth the up to 200k damage you lose out on
About the soul drain combos, are those corner only? Is there anyway to combo off soul drain from midscreen? I tried to do soul drain xx fly, j.S but they get pushed back too far for the j.S to connect.
Some combos i’ve been working on with Morrigan:
j.H, cr.H, f.H, j.MMH, Soul Fist M, fly, AD down, j.MH, Soul Fist M, unfly (Land), f.H, j.MMH, Soul Fist M, fly, AD down, j.S (Land), S, j.MMH, Shadow Blade M, Finishing Shower (mash)
Does 680k midscreen, no assists, builds about 1.2 meters (minus 1 for finishing shower). You can add a low assist in the beginning to combine with j.H for unblockable setups, breaks 700k with the assist.
Good stuff peeps!
Yeah the soul steal is amazingly worth it. What better way to piss someone off, that instead of killing them, you take away ‘some’ of their ability to kill you. woop
the soul drain combo I came up with only works if you have the mirror super up
the doppelganger hits them back towards you.
I CAN’T CONTROL IT.
Morrigan lvl3 xfactor. Shes too damn fast. Other than astral vision fireball wall domination, what else can I do in lvl3.
I want a lvl3 touch of death combo.
Di,
I just do the same combo all the time.
J. H/S, l, m, h Fh jump cancel jm, jh, js, land S super jump M, H, M/H shadow blade cancel to Finishing shower, loop another in the corner.
Also, the same combo as above except flight cancel the uppercut, then m, h, S(really hard to get due to hitstun decay) or flight cancel the uppercut and airthrow reset.
My XF3 combo is [Start Combo], [s.M, s.H]x8 or so, s.S, sj.MMH, Shadow Blade M, fly-cancel, Shadow Blade H. Does like 1.1 million damage for no meter. Your XF3 timer pauses every time you hit your opponent, so the s.M, s.H loop doesn’t waste as much time as you think.
Hey guys, I’ve got a corner combo with Morrigan that can do up to 700K with a mashed finishing shower, provided enough missles hit. I average around 650-680k when I do it. With Darkness Illusion it does close to 1 mil, and if you feel like spending a 4th meter and using shadow servant, you break 1mil. I’m uploading the video to YouTube right now, I’ll post a link soon as it’s done. I’m doing 2 vids and the first is taking its time. Combo requires Vergil Rapid Slash Assist, I can also combo into Soul Drain using this combo but I’m still working on a way to continue / end the combo afterwards, I’ll keep you guys updated on that! Anyways I’ll post the link once it’s up.
EDIT! Movie is up on YouTube now, here’s the link!
