The Queen of MAHVELL 3!: The Morrigan GD Thread

Dormammu with any normal thats not L, taskmaster shield skills, captain america, viper is what I can think of atm.

Anyone still interested in the Morrigan Skype Group, add me on skype and I’ll put you in the group. My skype is NinjaLink.

Hey man, thanks for the reply!! I like that idea for #6, will def have to try it! For 5 what I’m talking about is how, normally the baseline ground string is L fb then fly H fb. But sometimes after the fly we’ll do an L or M fb instead, angled downward. I was asking about the positioning you feel most warrants going into that. Ive been doing REALLY well w/ this shit lately, but despite that am trying to soak up as much data as I can about how fellow Morri devotees like to use their tools. It’s shocking to me how little tutorial content exists about how to MorriDoom. I’d almost like to try my hand at writing a guide on it, but: a. Whenever I bring it up, it seems to kill the thread for some reason (so thank you again Pat for doing CPR). b. Who am I to ‘write the book?’

Darchon’s guides are a pretty good start but it’s more focused on morrigan in general. There’s random bits of tech all over the place in single videos or posts here. I’d consider this one of the better character forums so there is some good info here if you dig around.

Learnt so much from watching bucket heads tournament run at absolute battle this weekend. This guy had optimised morrigan stuff.

being from the same state as buckethead helps me a bit yeah

Always good to see buckethead play. Reminds me that I need to practice my XF conversions from throw to shadow servant. I have to say his XF2 combo with two reps of shadow blade to soul drain was nice. That’s a pretty difficult combo to attempt in tourney lol.

In case anyone missed it, here’s the stream archive:

wasted 5 hours trying to figure out how to go into chrisis corner infinite with missiles.

i only tested vs wolverine and ghost rider but couldn’t find a way to go into it reliably vs ghost rider.
i tested so much stuff and barely any of it worked.
got like 4 reps in on wolverine once.

blah blah launch + call missiles, launch when missiles hit sj airdash down jS start the infinite
is the easiest. just have to fiddle with timings and spacings.

i tried all these other things, launch when missiles hit into tk fly (ground or air startup), very inconsistent.
launch into L shadow blade fly, also inconsistent.
launch into M shadow blade like 1 hit, fly, probably the closest to consistent but i couldn’t get it to work.

Is it possible combo into astral vision for more damage like devil trigger? If so is it a certain situation or combo specific?

Was watchin NEC stream and saw a player locking down using missiles+ soulfist low.fly.shellkick,soulfistM. shot out two ground fireballs pretty quick. i liked it.

Yeah I’ve seen a few players in the past (Helix, Alioune, Nerdjosh) play around with that pattern before. Its good for pure chip when you have someone locked down on the ground with missiles or something.

I would do it more but after learning all of morrigans regular fireball pattern stuff, it really fucks with my muscle memory doing soul fist xx fly, S, soul fist instead of soul fist xx fly, soul fist xx unfly.

Rather than use that pattern for chip I like that pattern to force someone to go to the skies or to really discourage assist calls. I don’t use it very often though, and I usually use Soul Drain when I do it.

I don’t see much use for it. You lose your entire top row just to have the bottom row slightly closer together. Despite the smaller gap between fireballs, there’s still easily enough space to jump out.

How do you tri dash attack with Morrigan?

She has sort of a fake tridash. It’s jump, air dash down at the minimum height, and j.S right away and you will hit the ground before the active frames come out. You’ll take a few frames in landing lag if you want to go for normals such as s.L, but the landing is cancelable with specials like her command throw or shadow blade.

Thanks! How do you do that thing were she throws soul fists on the ground with a delayed startup? It’s when she says something Anime like and slowly rears up before firing.

Soul drain? Qcf+s

Nice stuff! I like the mix ups, though just as an FYI, in place of the combos using 6B instead of 6C as your Dante summon lets you both activate Astral and get a soul drain out without starting your air HSD.

If you have assists that will let you lower the character to near ground height like burning kick or Jam Session, the easiest way I’ve found is S xx M shadowblade, fly, Jam, knock down where Jam Session catches them just before they touch the ground, then shadowblade as it ends.

So NinjaLink made a skypechat a while back. If anyone wants to join just add him at “NinjaLink” on skype and then ask him.
