The Queen of MAHVELL 3!: The Morrigan GD Thread

About half the time, I find myself distracted by her buns.

morrigan has been the core of my team since day -4 and let me say that the combos that we have been coming up with in this thread are godly. the flight cancel out of air sb or sf is godlike. free additional pressure.

right now im running morrigan/hsien-ko/(magneto/modok or thor)

i typically save morrigan for last because lvl3 god mode with her is very fun/exploitable. people are so scared of getting hit/pressing buttons that you can command grab them lol

So I have been in the lab trying out various BnB’s for Morrigan. Combo I think I’m going with:

j.:m: :d::m: :d::h: ShadowBlade(:m: version) cancel after third hit into fly -> next as they are falling do j.:h: unfly j.:h: land :f::h: jump cancel upforward j.:m: j.:h: j.:s: land :m::s: super jump j.:m: j.:m: j.:h: ShadowBlade(:m: version) cancel into fly -> j.:h: Shadow Blade(:h: version)

Damage = a little over 400,000 or if you add a super to the end, a little over 500,000.

It looks like a lot, but it isn’t too bad once you get the hang of it. The combo also works midscreen and in the corner. It builds 1.25 super meters. I also found a loop with M-shadowblade into the fly unfly thing for two reps, but i think it is a bit too hard to do consistently. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. I will most likely put up a video sometime in the near future so people can actually see the combo.

400.000 meterless damage? Holy hell, that’s sexy, probably looks really cool too. And people were saying doing advanced combos wasn’t worth it.

A video would be very appreciated.

Hmm, interesting. You can probably DHC into anything as long as it’s close enough. Fatal Claw comes to mind.
This also gives me an idea for some interesting DHCs. Gonna test it out later.

By recovery I meant the part where she’s already falling. Can you cancel that? I admit, I didn’t test it as thoroughly as I would have wanted.

I’m not really feeling this 3d model. Maybe it’s just the voice that’s offputting. Both of them. I adore the yayoi jinjugi’s voice.

That 400k combo is crazy amazing. I wonder if the guide book has something similar to that output. I’ve only got 300k~ without meter.

MODOK’s air hyper psionic blaster dhc DI works in the corner.
Enemy free falls into DI. I what other hypers achieve that same free fall effect.

She can cancel any move into fly (except for :s:.) On hit or whiff.
You can cancel soul fist into flight before the actual fireball comes out.
Or you can do fireball fly j.:s: and it’ll combo. Or you can delay it and go for a reset at the end of a ground string?

How do you guys feel Morrigan works with Storm?

Can anyone provide me with some help on Morrigan’s Mission 09 and possibly 10?

Maybe describe some visual or sound cues as to when I’m suppose to call out for Tron Bonne’s assist?

Also, hi Morrigan section. I’ll be here a lot. Her and Wesker are my two favorite characters right now.

edit: btw, I’ve already seen videos of the missions being done on youtube, but that doesn’t really help much. It still doesn’t really tell me when I’m supposed to call for the assist.

I’m feeling dissatisfied with Morrigan in this game. Her lack of a proper dash, no OTG ability, and weak hypers have made me consider removing her from the team.

Ii feel like its hard to get in with her whereas its so easy to get in with a character like Trish or IronMan. Any tips from you guys that are sticking with her?

Fireball loops? hard to do, only managed two myself
[standing :h: xx soul fist :m: instant fly j.:s:]
pretty sure it’s not worth the trouble.

my new standard combo (thank you pacstrife)
j.:m: j.:m: :d::h: :f::h: jump cancel j.:m: j.:h: j:s: :s: j.:m: j.:m: j.:h: shadow blade-:m: fly shadow blade-:h:
383,800 and ranges from 470-507k with FS

the downfoward airdash is too good. such a great arc. i just like the flying dashes in general for her, was never a fan of the mvc ground ones. liked her more in vsav and cvs2 than in the mvc games.

i usually call an assist(mags a)as I dash in and approach with j:s:/j:m: j:m:
multi hits of j:s: throws people off and you can delay the second j:m: very close to the ground.
maybe sent drones/doom rocks or hidden missile/whatever you want

I don’t think her dashes are disappointing since she has always been like this, it’s part of her charm. Her hypers are more for utility than raw damage. And the lack of OTG ability is easily fixed with the right assist. I’m using X-23, for example.

As Naki said, her downforwad air dash is incredible. You can cancel the downward part for a really fast - and easy - trijump. She has fast normals, flight, has a fullscreen air dash, has natural instant overheads, a decent fireball, does good damage, has good assists, safe and easily comboed into hypers and easily DHCable. She is definitely good.

I like comparing her to Dante, because I believe she can fit in pretty much any team.

Her cr. light attack is godlike LOL. It’s like the new Balrog jab. You can hit confirm it into a drill loop+launch+air combo set up easy.

Hell, I was mashing cr. light attack and it was beating Iron Man tri-dashes.

I’ve got my work cut out for me then.

It’s so weird. I’m pretty good at SF4 but those skills don’t mean shit in marvel. lol

Great job on coming up with that unfly. I’m gonna try to come up with a variation for that combo today, once i get out of work.
I spent some time yesterday trying to come up with a bnb combo also, though I might use yours from now on, but this is what i came up with.
:m:, :d: :m:, :d: :h:, :s: , j :m:, j :h:, :l: Soul Fist, Fly, j :m:, j :h:, :h: ShadowBlade - 364k

Im gonna try to see if I can come up with a combo that get’s over the 400k mark. Also… can someone tell me how you guys get those button annotations for the moves.

edit: thanks Naki

if you click go advanced and look at the [more] thing
scroll down it’ll show you all of them
but it’s basically move or direction in colons
: l : : m : : h :
minus the extra space

Fuck yeah, it’s a double-hitting high-priority fast mashable move.

I really need to incorporate the Fly Cancels into my game. Looks fun.

Anyone have a copy of the guide book yet?
Itching to see what buk and others have done with her.

Yes, I have the guide. Noteworthy things are her being able to cancel her specials with fly/unfly, her super jump down air dash approach, meter gaining assist, and some combos.

I won’t post up the combo from the guide verbatum, but it isn’t anything too mind blowing. One really cool thing is that you can link an aerial M-Shadow blade into missile super repeatedly in the corner. Also, you can OTG with her super after landing darkness illusion. I really can’t speak highly enough for the guide. It is literally the best strategy guide I have ever owned and will be useful months into this games life if not years. Frame data, strategy discussion, ect. for every character, pretty darn good.

Interesting, but it does seem to do not enough damage for the effort. How about trying to tack on a Shadow Blade to hyper at the end?

Long time Morrigan fan. Gotta say I’m happy with how she turned out. I’ll be monitoring this thread to try and pick up some new moves. Thanks guys. :slight_smile:

new fireball/drill loop in the corner (can actually be done midscreen with the mirror image super but gets real tricky)

XX [5M > 6H > H fireball > fly > falling S (3 hits)] x2 > 5M > S > air combo… helps if you delay the falling S just a tad and move forward after the fly for a little distance

take take out some 5M’s if the height is right
