Sadly, Morrigan is the only fighter from those games who made it into Capcom vs. SNK(Damn you Capcom!!! Where's Talbain!!! It's supposed to be CAPCOM vs. SNK, not Street Fighter & Morrigan vs. SNK). So I made due with what was offered. She has been toned down from her more recent incarnations(no Eternal Slumber and certainly no Soul Eraser) but is still fun to play as. A shoto with a twist. I will try my best to teach you something about Morrigan in this document so please, read on. ============================================================================ - Section 2 - Abbrieviations ----------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ This is just a list of motions Akuma uses, for a full list of game basics refer to the instruction manual or Sailor Bacon's excellent guide at GameFAQS. All motions in this guide assume you're facing right, if facing left, reverse foward and back motions(duh). s. = do the following move while standing c. = do the following move while crouching j. = do the following move while jumping f = foward b = back u = up d = down uf = up and foward ub = up and back df = down and foward db = down and back qcf = quarter circle forward (d, df, f) qcb = quarter circle back (d, db, b) hcf = half circle forward (b, db, d, df, f) hcb = half circle back (f, df, d, db, b) dp = "dragon punch" motion (f, d, df) (air) = Can be done in the air or on the ground (air only) = Must be done in the air (LV3/MAX only) = can only be done at level 3 in capcom or max in SNK P = any punch K = any kick PP = both punches KK = both kicks LP = light punch HP = hard punch LK = light kick HK = hard kick ============================================================================ - Section 3 - Special Moves ------------------------------------------------ ============================================================================ Spears: f + HP -Spikes come out of Morrigans wings. Axe Kick: f + HK -Morrigan performs an axe kick like move. Wing Blades: df + HP -The wings on Morrigan's back turn into a large blade and she spins around, swinging it. Sweep: df + HK -Morrigan floats just off the ground and spins around kicking with both legs. Drill Kick: d + HK (air only) -Morrigan's legs turn into a drill and hits 3 times if she connencts. Soul Fist: qcf + P (air) -It's a fireball, what more can I say. Air version travels at a angle. Shadow Blade: dp + P -Morrigan's dragon punch. Does a rising uppercut with one of her wings in the form of a large blade. Use it for your anti-air needs. Vector Drain: hcb + P -Morrigan leans foward ant tries to grab her opponent. If she connects she flies into the air, sits there a moment holding her opponent, then flips over and drives them into the ground head first. Terrible range but unblockable. ============================================================================ - Section 4 - Super Moves -------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ Valkyrie Turn: hcb + K -A difficult move to connect with until you get the hang of it. What Morrigan will do is she will jet off screen past her opponent and then she will reenter with her legs in the form of a drill. Normally she will enter at the middle screen but by holding down or up she will enter at different points. In any case she will then gently float downward if she hits her opponent will hit multiple times. To get a great deal of hits, mash the kick buttons as rapidly as you can. She is invincible while flying off screen. While the hits varies I usually get 11 hits from level 1, 14 hits from level 2 and 21 hits from level 3. Cardinal Blade: qcf, d, df + P -A multi-hitting version of the Shadow Blade. Very useful for combos. Hits 6 times at level 1 and 8 times at levels 2 and 3. Darkness Illusion: LP, LP, f, LK, HP (air) (LV3/MAX only) -Very nice... Morrigan will glide foward and try to grab her opponent. If she connects she grabs her opponent and a doppelganger of Morrigan appears on the other side of the opponent then both Morrigans procede to pound the opponent. This move is unblockable and invincible at the start up. Hits 27 times when performed on the ground and 21 times in the air. ============================================================================ - Section 5 - Combos ------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ As far as combos are concerned, Morrigan is unique as she retains her chain combos from Nightwarriors: Darkstalker's Revenge. This process is a bit confusing if you haven't played Nightwarriors but it goes like this: LP -> LK -> HP -> HK -> Spears/Wing Blades -> Axe Kick/Sweep It doesn't matter if you stand or crouch and you can skip moves in the middle but you must keep moving foward in the chain, for example LK, HP, Spears works but not LK, Spears, HP. Another thing to note is that for the last two moves you must choose one or the other then move foward in the chain, for example HK, Spears, Sweep works but HK, Spears, Wing Blades doesn't. Once you get the hang of this and the timing involved(you must hit each consecutive button very quickly) you'll find its very easy to pull combos out of the air however due to the fact that Morrigan is so much slower her then in NWs she is usually limited to three or four hit chain combos instead of the five or six hits she could do in NWs. Note: All combos work in either Capcom or SNK groove Chain/Two-in-one Combos c1 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LP, c.HP, c.HK, Sweep c2 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, s.LP, Shadow Blade c3 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LK, c.LK, Shadow Blade c4 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LK, Wing Blades, Sweep c5 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LK, s.HK, Axe Kick Super Combos Note:For the following combos to work you must "Super Cancel" into the last move in each combo. Note:c5 is for an air encounter(you and your opponent must be in the air). c1 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, s.LP, Cardinal Blade c2 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LK, Axe Kick, Darkness Illusion c3 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, c.LP, Sweep, Cardinal Blade c4 - Drill Kick, Darkness Illusion c5 - j.LP/LK/HP/HK, Darkness Illusion ============================================================================ - Section 6 - General Strategy --------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ -Morrigan is a good all-around character, not exceling in any one area but certainly not lacking anything either. She's like a shoto with more interesting supers. -Playing keep away is very easy with morrigan as you can keep lobbing Soul Fists on the ground and in the air. This is a good tactic to put pressure on an opponent and drive them nuts. -While Morrigan plays well in Capcom groove you'll probably want to choose SNK groove once you figure out how the Valkyrie Turn works since you can keep using it while in desperation in SNK groove and leave very little opportunity for you opponent to attack. As an added bonus if you keep doing this the chip damage will probably kill you're opponent. Cheap but very effective. -The Darkness Illusion is invincible at its startup. Take advantage of this by letting your opponent get close and then performing this move. Your opponent will probably try to attack but this will pass through their attack and get hit by this. -If you don't have the energy for a Darkness Illusion, try the Cardinal Blade instead. It starts very fast, out prioritizes everything except a few other supers and still does decent damage. -Use the Air Soul Fist on any one stupid enough to try an anti-air move against Morrigan. Eventually they'll stop using that move making it safe for you to use some jump in combos. -If you use shotos much you'll feel right at home with Morrigan. Many of the same tactics you'd use with Ryu or Ken work pretty well here. =========================================================================== - Section 7 - Partners ---------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== Even a demon can get taken down in a fight so it's nice to have someone watching Morrigan's back. The question is who? Morrigan is a ratio 2 fighter, meaning she can be paired with either two ratio 1 characters or one ratio 2 character. Here's a list of possible partners: ____________ -Sakura | -Cammy | -Dhalsim | -Blanka | -Benimaru |-------Any two of these fighters -King | -Vice | -Yuri ____________| or _______________ -Ryu | -Ken | -Chun-Li | -Guile | -Terry | -Mai | -Iori | -Kyo |-------Pick only one of these fighters -Balrog | -E. Honda | -Zangeif | -Raiden | -Kim | -Ryo | -Nakoruru ________| Take your pick. Seriously, Morrigan works well with just about anyone. I myself usually pair her up with Ryu or Iori as they are excellent all-around fighters too, but you're welcome to try whoever you like. ============================================================================ - Section 8 - Vs. Morrigan ------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ As I said earlier, Morrigan is similar to a shoto and most of the same tactics that work against them also work against her. Stay within jumping distance of her and wait for her to throw a Soul Fist, jump over it or roll through it and procede to destroy her. Try not to stay directly next to her for longer then you have to as the Shadow Blade, Vector Drain or worse the cardinal Blade or the Darkness Illusion might connect. If she uses the Valkyrie Turn just block it until she's done, however if she misses and goes over your head, feel free to give her an anti-air move or worse. ============================================================================ - Section 9 - Micellaneous ------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ COLORS The last four are hidden colors and must be bought through the secret shop option. _________________________________________________________ | |Outfit |Wings |Pantyhose |Hair | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |A |Red |Black |Peach |Light Green | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |B |Red |Black |Peach |Light Blonde | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |X |Gray |Dark Red |Light Brown |Light Green | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |Y |Gray |Red |Peach |Blonde | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |A+B |Black |Brown |Light Brown |Offwhite | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |X+Y |Black |Dark Purple |Light Lavendar |Green | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |A+X |Blue |Dark Purple |Light Lavendar |Light Blonde | |----|--------|------------|---------------|-------------| |B+Y |White |Burgandy |Light Brown |White | |____|________|____________|_______________|_____________| =========================================================================== ANIMATION Entrance pose: -Morrigan rises from the ground and her bats then form her wings while she says "Tanoshi masette chodai" or "Do, Kiredesho?"

HUGE apologies to everyone listed here. Please forgive me for my absent-mindedness. Capcom - For finally giving us a Vs. game that doesn't have Cheesy beam supers. CJayC - For running the best gaming site on the web.(We appreciate your hard work, we really do!) Sailor Bacon - Best Capcom Vs. SNK guide on the web. Used it for move names, colors, etc. SiLent J - For format. Biggest apologies to you. I used your format because out of all the character guides I thought yours was the best. The True Warrior - Your guide helped me with clarification on what everyone is saying. ============================================================================ - Section 11 - In Closing -------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ Yeah, we were all hoping for other Darkstalker's characters but I hope after reading this you're at least willing to give Morrigan a try as se can be pretty fun to play as.
