This was the original copy of this FAQ. It was created
on October 10, 2000. This version had a few errors in
spelling and techniques. The problem with this first
version was that it was far too descriptive. There was
also the matter of the lack of short effective combos.

Detailed Account
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan is a powerful kind of demon particularly
known as a succubus. A succubus is a sexually active
demon that enters the dreams of men and has sexual
intercourse with them. During that, she steals their
soul. She dwells in the Dark Realm in a castle that
is at war. Morrigan belongs to the Aensland clan that
is in conflict with the Maximoff clan. The death of
Berial saw her the opportunity to become the ruler of
Makai. Despite this great chance she declines for a
more care free life, a life that exists eternally.
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8       8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o 0
When Morrigan was born, she had immense power. In the
eyes of her father, that power was a threat to her.
So he reduced that power into half, hiding the other
half away from her. When Morrigan became an adult,
this other half of her power was able to escape and
find her. Now, Morrigan combines with her other self
called Lilith to reach the ultimate potential in her
evil powers. Morrigan also augments her power with
metamorphic bats, apparently those bats are the
souls of the men she's successfully taken. They also
form the bat wing structures, characteristic of her.

Simply Irresistible
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan doesn't look life threatening, despite being
a demon. Though, she does have the evil intentions of
a demon. She simply looks like a gorgeous female. She
has long, straight hair that is of a pale green color.
She also has bat wing protrusions as the most notable
feature. Two small bat wings on her head, two large
ones on her lower back. Her costume is black and it
covers the lower half of her torso and lower half of
her breasts. There is also a heart shape cut from her
costume to reveal more on her stomach. There are also
different sized feathers that encrusts her costume.
Morrigan also wears carnation pink stockings that have
bat silhouettes along with her black ankle high boots.

Morrigan The Character
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan is quite lazy during the day time. She also
prefers the night to do most of her adventuring. She
wanted to be queen of the night. Morrigan's curiosity
is never satisfied, so she jumps from the Dark Realm
to the world of humans to spend some time. As well as
her curiosity, Morrigan gets bored quite quickly and
is always searching for ways to burn time. She does
have many servants in her castle, that explains her
certain behavior, but she prefers freedom than being
a ruler of some place.

Morrigan The Fighter
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan is one of the 56 characters in Marvel vs.
Capcom 2 that possesses some creative and unique
moves. She uses her shape shifting bats in many of
her attacks and techniques, these bats also protect
her. Morrigan has two basic special moves that can
have her compared to a shoto: her dragon punch and
her projectile. Other than this, Morrigan is utterly
and completely different from shotos and is quite a
good fighter.
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8       8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o 0
Major reforms have been made to Morrigan many times
before Marvel vs. Capcom 2 but despite these she is
still useful to have. Having the speed and mobility
along with her bats, Morrigan can be challenge to
defeat if used correctly. She has an appetite for
action, so she shows that she wants action. Her moves
can be unpredictable and she is versatile, this will
help her win the match. She is a typical strike and
retreat character. An opportunist.

Morrigan is not the easiest character to learn and
she may not be the best in the game, but she is a
force to be dealt with. Morrigan excels in any area
or field of fighting from keep away to chipping. Most
of her power is brought out in her combos, her speed
is there so use it to get in with a combo. It may take
time to learn her, but you'll see that she is not a
waste of time.

Morrigan's Entrance
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
A small carpet of bats flitter on the ground and
Morrigan rises through them. At the same time,
Lilith descends from above. The bats then fly
apart and split into small groups to shape shift
into Morrigan's bat wing structures. Once the bats
are in place, Morrigan and Lilith pose with their
arm towards the sky the other folded across their
chest and turn into shining silhouettes as they
merge. Lilith's silhouette moves into Morrigan's
body and once that is done, the light fades to
reveal just Morrigan.

Description: Morrigan's shape shifting bats form
3 laser cannons complete with bat
wing frills. The largest cannon is
held by Morrigan, the smaller ones
rotate around her like satellites. It
then fires 3 beams in complete range.
Recommended: Mainly to punish failed attacks. It
is only to be fired at long range as
the beams travel instantly across the
entire screen. Unfortunately, the
chipping is disappointing. Sometimes,
it doesn't even chip at all.

General
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan has a good overall game because she has
elements of a pixie and a keep away. To use her
effectively, her dashes must be learnt. Her
dashes are good for rush ins to start a combo and
good for evasion tactics. She is relatively a close
range fighter so get in there with her dashes and
use keep away as an alternative. Combos are
extremely important if you want damage to be done.
The only way you can do this is to be aggressive
but hard to get. When your enemy chases you, the
vernier swoop is the way to go in the air. Come to
think of it, Morrigan is probably the only character
in the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 universe gifted with 3
different air dashes. 5 different dashes all in all.
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8       8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o 0
Try not to use soul fist all the time because it
may leave a cheap impression of Morrigan when she's
so much more. Only use soul fist to destroy other
fire balls or when finishing a combo. Try to connect
the soul eraser as much as possible as it does the
most damage. Her other supers are for impressing
the audience. As of jump ins, shell kick will do
the trick but be careful because it does lose out to
terrestrial attacks. Take advantage of her air
superiority and make it rain soul fists when they
become cheap.

Beamers
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Never attempt a ground soul fist against these
because the beam will simply eat it and hit you
during your recovery. Chuck some air soul fists,
except against Ice Man. In aerial battles, use
shell pierce to quickly avoid beams performed in
the air. The bottom line is to use dashes to get
into striking range and combo them into a launcher
and into a smash down to earth attack. Don't be
afraid to block beams because this is far better
than losing more health because it connected. It
is recommended that Morrigan has a beamer for an
assistant.

Pixies
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Morrigan can tangle with the best in pixies, because
she too has pixie elements. When they are heavily
attacking you, push block. Use soul fists and
standing hard punches to prevent dash ins and
advances. Remember that pixies are extremely quick
so keep a watch out. It is recommended that Morrigan
has an anti air assistant to further discourage jump
ins. The bottom line is don't try to retaliate when
they are attacking you, just push block and attack
them after. When they use a lag attack next to her,
use vector drain to get it into their thick skulls
to stay away.

Power Houses
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
This can be a challenge for Morrigan because she has
limited strength and damage dealing attacks. Try to
keep them away from her until they lag and then strike
with a soul eraser. If you control Morrigan to be
exceedingly aggressive, try to launch them as much as
you can. If you do manage to launch them, you can't
miss an aerial rave because power houses are big
targets. Soul eraser and even darkness illusion will
connect during their lag times, keep this in mind when
fighting these titans. One more thing is that Morrigan
takes above average damage so block, block, block.
Have a beamer as an assistant.

Shotos
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Fire ball wars erupt when battling these. Basically
try to catch them after their failed attempt of a
dragon punch. Be careful because shotos may catch
her, in her dashes. Shotos, especially Ryu fire
horizontally travelling air fire balls whilst
Morrigan's has a different direction. Watch out for
this because of the lag she has after performing air
soul fists. Be especially careful of horizontal air
beams that Ryu has. You can also attack them after
a hurricane kick miss, launch them into the air and
go from there. Have a beamer to destroy their
projectiles.

Abyss
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Abyss is easy for Morrigan. In his first form, Abyss
may be armored but very slow. Morrigan can combo
into him like crazy. The only condition is to use
the powerful shadow blade when butchering his hyde.
Shadow blade will take her to his opposite direction
and save her from block damage. As it progresses,
she will build up her hyper combo bar that will be
needed for Abyss' second form.
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8       8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o 0
Abyss is easy for Morrigan. In his second form, Abyss
is a green slime that does nothing but flame, laser
and bubble. Since Morrigan has a beam super, this is
far too easy for her. Use soul eraser when ever you
have enough levels, it will eat through him. If Abyss
resorts to his bubble technique, soul fist in the air
until they all pop. Never try to combo him, just use
soul fists and soul erasers.
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8       8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o 0
Abyss is easy for Morrigan. In his third form, Abyss
is red lava. He does strike under, across and direct.
Save up for a soul eraser and unload it on him. This
is Abyss' most vulnerable form, so use heavy punches
and kicks. Use no other super than soul eraser,
don't try and combo him and always block.

Perform any aerial dash, then select an appropriate
time to use a shell kick. The shell kick will cover
areas not accessible in a normal jump. It will serve
for chipping and punishing poor blocking skills.
Use when: 1. Opponent's hyper combo gauge is empty.
2. Making dashes more dangerous for them.

Soul Fist Timing
0 o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8
When throwing aerial soul fists, vary its power input
so that the speed of the soul fist varies too. Heavy
input makes it go fast, light input makes it slow. If
timed right, the opponent will be landing on aerial
soul fists and taking its chip damage.
Use when: 1. Trying to connect a soul fist.
2. Trying to chip using soul fists.
3. Assists are being performed.

In the air, throw a soul fist with its trajectory
directly for the opponent. While soul fist moves
towards the opponent, use the normal air dash. Soul
fist will support her, the dash will get you close
enough to hit high or low depending on how they're
blocking.
Use when: 1. Applying pressure.
2. Confuse and chip.
3. Trying to connect a combo.

Akuma: Takes damage like there's no tomorrow, but he
can be dangerous with hurricane kicks. Soul
eraser during his lag and note his fire balls
are thrown 45 degrees down in the air.
Typically played aggressively and will try
to hurricane kick into his fire ball super.
Be patient and block, wait for the lags in his
moves. Try not to dash frequently and always
use soul eraser.

Amingo: A big target but can be really tricky because
of his weird game. Block his combos and soul
fist him when ever you can. Soul eraser will
also do well against him.
Typically played by releasing many of his
small cactus friends. Use air dash to avoid
them. Amingo can combo very well, so block
