In the following sections I provide the little snapshot the game gives him and info I know about him based on the games I've played. ------------------------------------ 1.1) Game Profile ------------------------------------ (This came from the game, unless otherwise noted, so credit goes to the makers of the game for this section.) Real Name: Morrigan Aensland Occupation: Head of the Aensland House Abilities: The large wings on her back are able to transform as needed into tools such as a jet booster, large sickle, drill, etc. She is also able to drain her opponent's energy, and can create clones of herslef. Weapons: In addition to powerful magic, she can also utilize her wings which are composed of a collection of bats. Profile: She is a succubus, a demonic creature able to seduce men. She is well known for her voluptuous figure and her titillating clothing. Although she is the head of the Aensland House, one of the three major houses of the demon world, she often abandons her dull duties to go looking for excitement. First Appearance: Darkstalkers (1994) ACTUAL Intelligence | 6/7 Strength | 4/7 Speed | 5/7 Stamina | 4/7 Energy Projection | 6/7 Fighting Ability | 6/7 -------------------------- 1.2) Extended Profile -------------------------- This part is all coming off my recollection of the character from the original stories he is apart of. Careful, there will be spoilers. I'd like to start this off with an apology: I know next to nothing about her, so her extended profile is going to be very, very short. A succubus born as an S-rank demon, Morrigan's power was split into 3 pieces (her, another succubus named Lilith, and the last part held by her father) out of fear. Leading a life without knowing this she repeatedly visits the human world in the search of fun, returning one day to find her father dead. Having reclaimed a portion of her power she also takes over as the head of her family's house. Still seeking fun, she neglects her duties to continue visiting the human world. At some point she comes across Lilith (the last third of her power) and the two fuse together to restore her to full power. -------------------------- 1.3) Alternate Costumes -------------------------- Costume 1 (X): Standard - The way she appeared in Darkstalkers and previous Marvel Vs Capcom games. Costume 2 (Tri): Orange w/ Yellow Hair - The purple parts of her outfit are now orange and her hair is yellow. Costume 3 (Sqr): Green w/ White Hair - Same general concept (alternate color scheme). This may be a tribute to Lilith. Costume 4 (R1): Pink w/ Purple Hair - Same general concept (alternate color scheme) -------------------------- 1.4) In-Game Dialogue -------------------------- This section contains notable dialogue the character says during battle. Things like him shouting a character's name is omitted unless he refers to the character in a special way. Also, sayings directed at him by characters that are unique are also written down. If I'm missing any please let me know, but make sure it's not like: Hulk while swapping mid-battle "Morrigan!" Intros: "I hope we can have some fun." "You're in for quite a night." "Don't let me scare you." "Bad feels so good." "I want you, body and soul." "So... like what you see?" To Tron - "Aren't you just the cutest." To Magneto - "Allow me to help release your hate." To Phoenix - "You need to strip off those prosaik morels." Victory: "Let's play again sometime." "Is that all you got?" "Good's not bad, but bad is better." "I'll take good care of you." "Relax and let me do all the work." "Oh, we'll play more later." "Let's try that again." To Tron - "[Laughter] Children should be sleeping at this hour." To Magneto - "You need to learn to think happy thoughts." To Phoenix - "Show me your true form. Let it out." End-Level Dialogue Box: "I could use a nice plaything like you." "I'm so glad you wanted to take me on, but you didn't have what it takes to truly satifsy me." "I sense a strong power gathering. Looks like tonight won't be so boring after all!" "Mmm, that was fun. Let's do that again." "Mmm, that really did not satisfy my urge. I'm going to have to look for someone else to take care of me." To Phoenix - "Strip away those inhibitions and let your true self out. There is no shame in that." Taunt: "Done so soon?" or "Fool." Finishing Shower Activation - "Can you dodge this?" Astral Vision Activation - [Hard to discern] Shadow Servant Activation - [Can't hear last word(s)] Darkness Illusion Activation - "You've been naughty." HC Activation in a series: Middle - "Can you feel it?" Last - "This is all for you..." -------------------------- 1.5) Titles -------------------------- Miss Princess - Clear Arcade mode with Morrigan on any difficulty [Unknown] - Clear Arcade mode with Morrigan on Very Hard Succubus - Complete 5 missions with Morrigan Darkstalker - Complete 10 missions with Morrigan Too Hot to Handle - Use Morrigan 30 times ============================================================================= 2.0) Movelist ============================================================================= In this section I provide a list of his attacks and explain what they do and how they perform. This can give insight as to how useful moves are and different strategies they can be applied to. Button Layout::: Square = Light Attack (L) Triangle = Medium Attack (M) Circle = Heavy Attack (H) X = Special Attack (S) (Atk) = means hit any attack button (L), (M), or (H) (Atk Atk) = means his any 2 attack buttons (L+M), (M+H), (L+H), etc R1 = Partner 2 (P2) L1 = Partner 1 (P1) Select = Taunt NOTE: Directional inputs are as follows 789 \ 7 = up and away , 8 = up , 9 = up and forward 456 > 4 = back , 5 = none , 6 = forward 123 / 1 = down and away , 2 = down , 3 = down and forward ------------------------------------ 2.1) Assist Attacks ------------------------------------ Alpha Type: Shadow Blade - Appears next to player and uppercuts the enemy into the air. Beta Type: Soul Fist - Appears next to player and fires a flaming skull along the ground. Gamma Type: Dark Harmonizer - Appears next to player and pulses with energy, filling a portion of the hyper combo gauge. ------------------------------------ 2.2) Basic Attacks ------------------------------------ (L) - leg kick (M) - long kick (H) - front flip (4 hits) (2+L) - double tap (2 hits) (2+M) - low leg kick (2+H) - leg sweep (trips enemy) (6+H) - stretch kick (transition to juggle) air L - stabs enemy air L, air L - stabs enemy behind her back air M - kick with one leg air M, air M - kick with other leg air H - encases herself in a ball of spines air S - turns wings into drill (hits up to 3 times) Taunt - waves off enemy ------------------------------------ 2.3) Skills ------------------------------------ Soul Fist (236 + atk) in air OK (L) - Fires a slow-moving horizontal flaming skull (M) - Fires a faster-moving horizontal flaming skull (H) - Fires a flaming skull at a 45 degree angle Shadow Blade (623 + atk) in air OK (L) - Short uppercut using bladed wings (1 hit) (M) - Medium uppercut using bladed wings (3 hits) (H) - High uppercut using bladed wings (5 hits) Vector Drain (63214 + atk) (L) - Grabs enemy, flies into the air, and crashlands him (minor damage) (M) - Grabs enemy, flies into the air, and crashlands (mediocre damage) (H) - Grabs enemy, flies high up and crashlands (better damage) Flight (214+S) - Morrigan gains a glowing aura, signifying her temporary ability to fly wherever she wants. ------------------------------------ 2.4) Hyper Combos ------------------------------------ Finishing Shower (236+ atk atk) in air OK - Sitting back while leviatating, she creates a web with her wings and launches a salvo of slow-moving rockets. (hits up to roughly 30 times) Astral Vision (22 + atk atk) - She presses up against an invisible mirror and pushes it away, creating a clone of herself that will exactly mimic what you are doing for the next 10 seconds or so. The clone mirrors your position with the enemy. Shadow Servant (623 + atk atk) - Reaching into the air she summons a ripple of uprising pulses of energy that drags the enemy to the end of the screen. (hits up to 5 times) Darkness Illusion (214 + atk atk) in air OK, consumes 3 HC gauges - She scoots forward 2 full screen lengths. If she makes contact with the enemy she does a long combo using a temporary clone before spiking the foe into the ground. This move is really hard to miss with in a combo. (hits 33 times on ground, 35 times in the air) ============================================================================= 3.0) Strategies ============================================================================= In this section I will cover what combos I have developed that makes her a formidable character. The first sub-section covers specific combos I have performed that are either very flashy or incredibly devastating or useful. The second section is meant to set up basic combos with her when she is the only character you have left. ------------------------------------ 3.1) Team Hyper Combos ------------------------------------ Morrigan has a deadly list of hyper combos in her arsenal, but only 3 of them are comboable. Below is a compilation of some chaining for a lot of damage. Felicia (Dancing Flash) --> Shadow Servant - Cancel into morrigan anytime before Felicia takes the enemy into the air. MODOK (Killer Illumination) --> Shadow Servant - MODOK's killer illumination hits 30 times before he throws the enemy onto the ground. The moment he spikes the enemy into the ground cancel into Morrigan. Dante (Million Dollars) --> Finishing Shower/Darkness Illusion - Cancel into either of Morrigan's hypers after Dante's second to last shot (if he fires off the "Jackpot" shot both finishing shower and darkness illusion will lose effectiveness). Note that Darkness Illusion works 100% of the time here. Trish (Round Harvest) --> Finishing Shower - The moment Trish lets go cancel into finishing shower. The enemy will be too caught up in the spiralling sword to defend (just make sure to keep the enemy on the ground or Trish's move will force this combo to fail). Hsien-Ko (Tenrai Ha) --> X-factor --> (Tenrai Ha) --> Finishing Shower - The moment Hsien-Ko's HC hits, X-factor and do it again. Like before, the moment the 2nd tenrai ha hits cancel into morrigan. The spiked balls will continue to fall after the initial hit lands. Haggar (Rapid Fire Fists) --> Darkness Illusion - Cancel out of the last hit in Haggar's hyper combo to pull this off. FANCY COMBOS ------------ Dante (Million Dollars) --> X-factor --> Million Dollars --> Darkness Illusion - L, M, H, S, air L, air M, air H, air 236+L, 214+L add H, Million Dollars two times and cancel into Darkness Illusion after Dante fires his second to last shot. The enemy will helplessly tumble in the air until s/he hits the floor and Darkness Illusion will hit 100% of the time. Can be done ANYWHERE. NOTE: X-factor into the second million dollars BEFORE the second to last shot goes off. If the enemy gets popped up in between the two Dante attacks Darkness Illusion may miss given odd circumstances. MODOK (Killer Illumination) --> Shadow Servant --> X-factor --> Darkness Ill. - When MODOK spikes the enemy into the floor cancel into the Shadow Servant and immediately X-factor into Darkness Illusion. The uprising blasts will carry the enemy, but you will catch up... Amaterasu (Okami Shuffle) --> Darkness Illusion - Using Ammy, have her do L, M, H, 6+H, 2+H, 6+H, 2+H, 6+H, S, air M, air M, air H, air H, air H, 236+atk atk. While Ammy is comboing the enemy with fire, ice, and thunder get ready to cancel about mid-way through the thunder portion. If done correctly (or against a wall) the enemy will be floored into Morrigan's ultimate for massive, massive damage. ------------------------------------ 3.2) Solo Battle ------------------------------------ Morrigan can be a devastating character to fight. Despite having a small arsenal of normal skills she has one of the craziest combo potentials in the game. Below are some combos I've discovered... L, M, H (4 hits), S, air M, air M, air H, 623+M, (236 or 214 atk atk) L, M, H (4 hits), 623+H, (236 or 214 atk atk) - NOTE: This specific combo does not work well in a corner! L, M, H (4 hits), 6+H, 236+H, 623+atk atk L, M, H (4 hits), 6+H, air M, air M, air S (3 hits), H (4 hits), S, air M, air M, air H, air 623+M, 236+ atk atk Corner Only Combos L, M, H (4 hits), 6+H, air M, air M, air S (3 hits), H (4 hits), S, air M, air M, air H, 214+S, air L, air M, air H, darkness illusion L, M, H (4 hits), S, air M, air M, air H, 214+S, air L, air M, air H, 214 atk atk ============================================================================= 4.0) Missions ============================================================================= In this section we tackle the missions (or at least the ones I can do). Most missions are straight forward, but for some characters beating a mission requires rediculously perfect timing and if I have completed them this section will be useful to those who are stumped. Ones I've Completed: 1-10 Ones I have not completed: N/A Mission 1 - Attack using Soul Fist Solution: 236+M Mission 2 - Attack using Vector Drain Solution: 63214+L Mission 3 - Perform a combo using a dash Solution: air M, air H, M, H, 236+M Strategy: double tap forward and Morrigan will dash diagonlly, allowing you to do air M, air H with no trouble. Mission 4 - Perform an air combo Solution: 2+L, 2+M, 2+H, S, air M, air M, air H, air S Mission 5 - Perform an air combo Solution: L, M, H, 2+H, S, air M, air M, air H, air S, 623 atk atk Strategy: This is a basic attack; an easy combo into the air, spike the enemy and follow up with her hyper combo. Mission 6 - Perform a combo using a hyper combo cancel Solution: L, M, 2+M, H, 2+H, 6+H, 623+H, air 236+atk atk Strategy: Cancel out of the last hit of 623+H into the hyper combo Mission 7 - Perform a combo using a crossover assist Solution: 2+L, 2+M, P2, 2+H, 236+H, 236+M, 623+atk atk Strategy: the trouble is knowing how the assist character works. What the assist character is supposed to do is juggle the enemy so you can land the 2nd soul fist and cancel into the hyper combo. The combo will feel like 2+L, 2+M, 2+H, 236+H. Practice that until you can summon the assist in and finish the combo. Mission 8 - Perform another air combo Solution: air S, 2+L, 2+M, 2+H, S, air M, air M, air H, 623+H, 236+atk atk Strategy: coming out of a jump press S to initiate the combo, follow up with a air combo and end with her upper cut canceling into her HC. Mission 9 - Perform a combo using a crossover assist (corner only) Solution: air H, 2+L, 2+M, P1, 2+H, 236+H, M, S, air M, air M, air H, air 214+atk atk Strategy: coming out of a jump/dash hit H and follow up with the crouching L, M, H, soul fist combo into Tron's assist. With the enemy unable to recover from Tron's attack until they touch the floor finishing the combo is cake. Mission 10 - Perform a special combo (corner only) Solution: air s, 2+L, 2+M, 2+H, 236+M, X-factor, M, 2+M, H, S, air M, air M, air H, air 214+S, air L, air M, air H, air 214+atk atk Strategy: This is a helluva combo right here. Practice pulling off this attack in parts and it becomes much easier. The major pain is continuing the combo after 214+S, but once you get the rythem of when you can start attacking out of it finishing the combo isn't too horribly difficult. For the x-factor cancel, doing it when or before the projectile hits works. ============================================================================= 5.0) Contact Information ============================================================================= If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
