The Queen of MAHVELL 3!: The Morrigan GD Thread

Eff it! Forum ‘upgrade’ ruined the button smilies.

I really want morrigan to be a better character shes my favorite but man she is just lacking so much. : \ Makes me cry at night.

I’m starting to think that Morrigan along with a few other characters won’t be as good as they can be until later on in the game when people stop mashing/being totally random. SHe has the mixup and 400k off any hit isn’t terrible for the situations she can put you in when you think about it. 4ook into a knockdown meterless which then forces them to block fireballs on wakeup can be good. I’ll mess with her a bit over the summer, if I find any goods i’ll share.

Morrigan basics - learn how to cover her approach with her light Soul Fist. There are two options off the top of my head:

Standing or normal jump Soul Fist, immediate flight cancel into downward air dash. This will cause Morrigan to propel forward with the Soul Fist covering her approach. From flight, you can use her Special attack to go into Shell Kick, which will drop her onto the opponent with a multi-hit attack. In order to do this from her standing position, you have to move her up slightly after going into flight, as the game won’t allow Morrigan to dash if she’s too close to the ground.

Super Jump into light Soul Fist, then regular downward dash into an attack. This approach is different from the previous example in that you can drop onto your opponent with any attack instead of simply Shell Kick. This is important to remember as some combos are better started with her jumping Heavy instead of Shell Kick. The reason why you need to do a super jump first is because the recovery on her Soul Fist is normally very long, so you need the extra air time to recover and go into a dash. Again, you could flight cancel, but that changes the properties of her dash.

She can get you into a second (and third if necessary) mixup with ease, so I really don’t know why people complain about her damage being so “lacking”.

It’s not like she lacks the tools to reset the mixup, or anything…

how do I stop morrigan dive kick idk why but i’m having trouble fighting her people online keep doing the same thing jump dive kick,low atk then heavy atk

JJJ just blew it up at the Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 7 with Morrigan, Storm and Felicia. Awesome

I knew Morrigan was excellent with Storm. Still personally shopping for a 3rd I like for the team. That was some pretty good work JJJ did, although I would have liked to see less shell kick overall. Good shit nonetheless.

I wish I had seen it. :confused:

You still can :slight_smile:

I highly doubt anyone caught me on tape, but my Morrigan, Zero, Mag team made a little noise as well. No one knows how to deal with fireball spam yet :rofl:

Wow.

That’s an interesting team - Whorrigan being your meat shield and all.:rofl:

Grasu Canun ftw?

I tried that team for a while, with a different order. I’d called it “My level 3s>you.” I put it down when I decided my execution was simply disgracing 2/3rds of it.

Lol. Morrigan on point is interesting. She doesn’t get the meter/x-factor advantages right off the bat so your zoning needs to be on point until you build a level 3 to kill someone. Or you could go the annoying route and burn muktiple Astral Visions (I REALLY need to explore this route more). I use Zero as the get off me assist and Mag to keep the horizontal space filled when I need it. I just with Morrigan’s mixup was stronger, all people really need to do is block high to be honest.

So, standing heavy shadow blade flight cancelled into a downward air dash makes for really fast, often surprising near-full screen mobility. Just throwing it out there… ~

I’m personally getting to the point where I feel Morrigan without Storm is just selling yourself short. Storm is one of the characters that really benefits from Dark Harmonizer, and since she can assist call from any jump height during her float, you get shades of MvC2 Storm back. Running a Morrigan BnB to air tag to Storm, bring it down to Elemental Rage and DHC tricking with Astral Vision is great, Shadow Servant DHC Hail Storm blows up pretty much any button press your opponent can make, and if you’ve got your back to the corner during a pressure string, slipping in Vector Drain, Shadow Servant DHC Hail Storm is pretty fucking insane damage. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Double Typhoon assist even allows Morrigan to extend combos via OTG assist.

Edit: Actually, does Double Typhoon even hit OTG? I could have sworn it did, but can’t find anything to confirm that without booting up the game.

It does OTG, but it has weird placement and a lengthy windup.

amazing team synergy. im really impressed with JJJ.
