The Queen of MAHVELL 3!: The Morrigan GD Thread

Seth did say that throws were generally better in this game, at least when he was demoing Tron a while back. But even without OTG possibilities, surely a nice grab would compliment her rushdown, right?

I mean, Thor is basically centered around landing his cmd. throw. What is it about Vector Drain that dissuades people from using it? Bad range, piddly damage…what?

Mostly because it’s a case of everybody who tries her is having too much fun with her shenanigans to pay attention to it.

Well, Morrigan pulls off a Vector Drain in [media=youtube]C0Uo9GFmXNE#t=5m44s"[/media] of the retail build.
I dunno, damage looks pretty good if you ask me. A command throw is always good imo, especially for a character like Morrigan who can mix you up and rush you down or keepaway pretty nicely. A command grab is nice for some added mind games. Not really nessasary, but welcomed.

Do you think its usefulness might go up a tad while you’re in her mirror hyper? Let’s say you’ve failed to penetrate your opponent’s defense, but they’ve been stuck blocking for the last few seconds. Therefore, they’ll be less likely to properly react to your throw. In theory, anyway.

That video makes it look like it might be possible to follow up the throw with Shadow Servant or something.

That’s the worst (or best) word to drop in this thread.

But yeah, might be a good option for when you’ve locked your opponent down with AV.

We were just talking about this last night in the irc. Someone needs to test this.

Fucking hell, I didn’t know Astral Vision was only a lvl 1. Boner Achieved. Hopefully you can DHC it while Floating Bomb/Round Harvest is still active to make people COWER IN FEAR.
Sexy bitch even has an Izuna Drop type move? I’m definitely using her now. Dormammu/Morrigan/Trish it is then!

Hmm, been thinking. We gonna need to be testing to see if we can extend her combos with flight. Also, need to test combo into her command throw in the air.

Yeah I don’t ever see anyone using morrigan or trish flight mode.

I think it’s likely because people mostly played them in the earlier builds when we weren’t really looking for these kinds of things, and the combo system for flight cancels was still being refined or something.

Would probably be a fast flight to go along with her character. I wonder if she can do something like what Ironman did at the end of the epic combo vid from a couple days ago, like do flight mode really low to the ground.
Maybe airdash, j.L,j.M, Flight, j.L, j.M, j.H or something.

Pretty sure we can find something off her j.H which, when timed right hits opponents slightly upward. Would personally love to see it being used to extend her air rave hyper setups.

Interesting. Is j.H the one where she makes a ball around herself made of those spikey tendrils?

Would also like to see if Soul Fist in air can cause enough hitstun in the corner to combo after, like Sentinel’s air Rocket Punch.

Wha?! She has air vector drain? AWESOME if true.

I dunno about that.

Her normal air throw just looks like her command throw. If she can perform her command throw in the air, then this is the first I’ve heard of it.

I used Vector Drain a lot during NYCC, it’s really good. It’s Air OK in TvC if I remember correctly…unless her normal air grab just looks exactly like it. Not so sure now, and don’t have TvC on me.

Nope. It just looks the same.

I think the airthrow has good range as well. Having memory blanks if it was as crazy as it was in tvc.

Also, where’d the thread title go? :open_mouth:

Double edit: We got character forums now too! I wanna make a character guide for this ho sometime down the road. ;O

Morrigan can do a Hyper in Astral Vision however, if she does so, it ends Astral Vision.
