Considering the fact that Morrigan’s strength overall as a character was heavily booster since Vanilla, I think I can say very well I’ve played several good Morrigans because now she has an increased in usage. Y’know the ones that fly all over the place Shell kick when you least expect it and free open up? Or do fly cancel Astral vision soul fist complete lockdown shenanigans? If a Morrigan stays at top screen and even begins to fire Soul Fists I will use Vajra assist to knockdoown Morrigan for free BWA. Weren’t you the guy who did not believe Vajra H was good for Nemesis at all? Besides, even if Morrigan does block Vajra H it forces her to come down, mission accomplished with less benefits though
I don’t think most players are going to be ready on reaction to punish Vajra, to punish vajra H assist you have to be lucky, or have to be looking to punish it since by itself it’s very hard to punish. Even if zero did hit Strider I don’t think Nemesis is just going to let Strider die, hell just crossing up movement could save save Strider, I am of course talking about if Zero is at super jump height.
That’s why i said don’t do anything stupid against Haggar, haggar is a heavy and you must respect it. Only do what’s guranteed and never try to beat pipe incoming unless your very very far away and in Deadly Reach range .I’ve played good Haggars that put him on point and if you zone Haggar and keep him out he’s not that bad. Yes if haggar gets close but only way Haggar gets close is super jump pipe or his wave dash covered by assist (Usually dagger toss). You have to respect the pipe, don’t fight it with anything and just block, and AG it away. If its a situation where Haggar- no any character is too close you shouldn’t be firing rockets anyways, since air rocket recovery is terrible. Deadly Reach covers all angles of Haggar’s main approach, and Haggar can’t fight back against it. can’t duck, no long ranged normals or invincible moves long enough, no random super. He HAS to Super jump over it, which is going to either be a Pipe (most likely) or a throw, which in the whole time he super jumps Nemesis could theoretically run away.
) She is completely lethal to Nemesis, despite her lower damage output and lack of easy resets. Her shell kick has high priority, and, because her hurtbox is so small, can occasionally beat out Nemesis jumping h. Shell kick is also an armor killer, multiple hits. I have timed it so I used the armor for just the first hit, and have punished it, but it takes so much prediction that it’s not worth it (more often than not I get hurt trying that). Her teeny-tiny hitbox when crouching makes a lot of his zoning tools crazy ineffective, and she’s got some pressure when you consider her clone getting in and using flight-cancelled shadow blades into more shell kicks. Nemesis just isn’t fast enough to react when she’s that close up. Her ranged game can also lock down much more mobile characters, so for Nemesis it’s death. Having seen ChrisG and Dieminion’s recent tournament exploits, Morrigans had better know a good zoning game, which nemesis cannot handle, especially as she can zone from Nemesis’s blind spots. She’s also got that invincible hyper to fall back on, so she in some cases can take some offense, and return to zoning. Coupled with a good ranged assist, she destroys Nemesis. Her only weakness is the inability to kill Nemesis without multiple combos, but she can easily use them to set up her zoning, and both close and far has tools to take down nemesis.
