The Queen of MAHVELL 3!: The Morrigan GD Thread

do any of you use astral vision for the DHC trick?

I have my morrigan bnbs mostly down, but when i try them out of the dhc trick i cant get it right because i have to start the combo with the guy in the air, which throws off my strings, what combos do you guys do out of the dhc trick?

There shouldn’t be an issue performing any specific combos from DHC trick > Astral Vision, it really is just a timing thing I think.
I know when I first started to attempt DHC resets into Morrigan I had issues too, you really just have to properly time the character falling before you start a BnB.

What exactly is it with the spin state that’s throwing you off?

Yup, this holds true for every bem style super in the game. You can beat HSF clean with this too

^^ You can also beat out Phoenix Inferno for free all day.

I was doing this vs SimplyPh33r in a best of 5 we had. He would bust out dark phoenix as his last character and If any of you have watched him play (very good player btw), he plays a realllllly lame dark phoenix. Full screen projectile fest all day. If you try and hyper through his fireballs, he simply counter hypers with Phoenix Inferno. He obviously didnt know Shadow Servant rapes it for free. He would fireball, I would Shadow Servant, he would Phoenix Inferno, SS still won…and i got a free DHC to kill off his Dark Phoenix.

Morrigan RAPES Sent and Phoenix. All day. Free. Hulk too. She honestly can counter most characters pretty handily.

Oh yeah, Shadow Servant > Okami Shuffle. Even DURING Okami Shuffle. Try it.

I usually start with f.H just before the opponent’s about to hit the ground, and go from there. I usually get an extra 500k damage off her combo without using meter with Astral Vision active though i’m sure there are better ones.

i think what happens is that i get scared that im going to whiff it, so I start my combo super early, which leads to them being abnormally high, and being un able to finish it about 10 hits in or so. maybe i shoudl just try starting the combo later.

and lol im not gonna lie, most of the time I forget shadow servent even exists, but if it beats phoenix inferno and HSF AND the shuffle, I guess im have to start integrating it more, cause phoenix/sent/ammy are on about 90% of the teams i fight these days.

When playing offense with Morrigan I notice that her IAD jumping H gets easily beaten if you do it too close to the opponent. What move do you guys think is better for dashing in with, Jumping H or Jumping S? S seems like it has a lot of priority while it seems H can be done quicker off an IAD downwards air dash.

Off of forward airdash I usually use S if my opponent likes to press buttons when I airdash at them, and only use j.H if I want to cross them up. Off of trijumps I just mix it up between all air normals.

I’ve been practicing my flight canceled fireballs in training mode, and I’m starting to get consistent with them. One small thing I didn’t know is that you can normal jump and throw two flight canceled fireballs and once you unfly you can still air dash at them before you hit the ground. I just think that’s awesome lol, I have X-23 as a team mate so I’ve been doing 2x flight canceled fireballs then air dashing at them and calling my low assist at the same time… can’t wait to experiment with this some more.

if thats enough to surprise you

super jump forward, air dash back, fireball, fly, airdash forward, fireball the other way, unfly…

the bitch can get over the whole screen, remember that flight resets a lot of options (that doesn’t just apply to morrigan)

Does anyone use Morrigan in tournaments that has at made it to the finals, at least? Last time I checked online rankings, she wasn’t even in the top 30. Never would’ve guessed before this game was released that out of my favorite 3 (Felicia, Tron, and Morrigan) Morrigan would be the one that no one could use effectively in tournaments. Can’t even find any good recent youtube matches with her :shake: Outside of this forum all of the Morrigan talk is about her boobs and/or butt…

As far as I know, no.
The last video I’ve seen of Morrigan in a major tournament setting was DerrickLegend back at Final Round and he didn’t make it to finals. I haven’t watched every tournament, but I haven’t seen one yet in top 8.

The only other big name player I’ve heard of using Morrigan was ClakeyD, but he dropped her.
Morrigan is definitely underutilized in the tournament scene. Sad.

If I had the time to go to tourneys I’d definitely rep for us. I’d say my Morrigan is pretty decent but I won’t make anything until UFGT. PoewrUp is too soon and I got hella homework

Flash Metroid still uses morrigan does he not? but i havent seen him play in awhile.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about Flash.
As far as I know he does, but I also haven’t seen a video of him in a while.

Keep your eyes out for me.

From what I heard Flash is more focused on Joe (who is another sleeper) but I never saw anything great from hit Morrigan to be honest. If anyone can prove me wrong in the form of a vid like go ahead cuz I’d love to see some crazy Morrigan

Hey,

I’m a new player to MvC3 and Morrigan is my favourite/best character. Before she was first up on the line, but that didn’t work out too good. After putting her last, she is starting to work wonders. XFactor + Astral Vision is too good. She’s like—another Dark Phoenix. Sometimes I can OCV with her but I am still working on building my team =/

lol I also sometimes think of Morrigan as a more stable, less eccentric version of Phoenix.

Indeed, I’d also had that thought. Morrigan on x-factor does feel like Dark Phoenix lite. With health.
