Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Morrigan

Morrigan

Morrigan Aensland is a Scottish succubus who made her debut in Capcom's innovative Darkstalkers series, aka Vampire Savior (not to be confused with the now-popular "Vampire Survivor" series) in Japan. Daughter of Belial Aensland, lord of the Demon Realm (making her demonic nobility herself), she fights alongside various other nasty creatures in her horror-themed home series, such as a yeti, a werewolf, and (of course) a vampire; sadly, none of these could join the party in MvC:I.

Unique Trait

Harmonious Spear: Morrigan has the ability to throw out swarms of shadowy bats which act as traps; if the opponent is struck by the spear that extends from them, they receive a debuff where all of Morrigan's Soul Fists will grant her more meter on hit.

Command Normals

Heart Piercing	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	100x8 (712)	Mid	10	18	7	+7	+5
	Morrigan's most plus-on-block move, as well as the most plus-on-hit that doesn't put grounded opponents airborne.

Mystery Arc	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	600	Low	14	3	20	+1	-4
	A new long-reaching low attack for Morrigan. Curiously, this can only be accessed on its own, not as part of a chain; pressing 3HP in a combo after another normal instead causes Morrigan to perform 2HP.

Specials

Soul Fist or	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	800	Mid	15/10	-	36/36	-12/-	-10/-	, Projectile
	Frame data is listed as ground/air. Morrigan's fireball. The ground LP version travels forward, the ground HP version travels at a 45 degree angle up-forward, the air LP version travels 45 degrees down-forward, and the air HP version travels forward.

Shadow Blade or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1100	Mid	4/4	10/10	18/18	+32/-	-8/-
		1200	Mid	4/4	17/15	37/31	+26/-	-34/-
	Frame data is listed as ground/air. Morrigan's equivalent of a Shoryuken. Not invulnerable like the real thing, but useful for combos.

Vector Drain or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1200	Throw	4	1	24	+38	-
		1800	Throw	13	1	27	+55	-
	Morrigan's iconic Darkstalkers command grab. The HP version leaves you with enough advantage to link a Shadow Servant hyper after, though this is only a small damage increase, not generally worth the meter. Builds disproportionately little hyper combo gauge for the damage it deals.

Harmonious Spear or (can be charged)	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		900	Mid
		900	Mid
	Morrigan spawns a shadowy ball of energy that unleashes a long spear. If the spear connects, it applies a special status to the opponent that causes Morrigan to gain very large amounts of meter for connecting Soul Fists (only on hit, she still gets nothing on block). This debuff on the opponent lasts about 10 seconds. The LK version will stay in place when you hold the button, waiting until you release the button to extend its spear. It can be held for approximately 8.5 seconds this way, at which point the spear appears automatically. The HK version will travel as long as you hold HK, until it has traveled a full screen's worth; if you start near the edge of a screen, this does mean it will travel off-screen, past the opponent, and note that the spear will not turn around to point at the foe; it will still point forward, making this a useless way to use this move.

Flight	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	-	-				-	-
	Unlike in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Morrigan can no longer cancel her specials into flight/unflight, only her normals.

Hypers

Finishing Shower	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	250x30 (4600)	Mid	6+14 (20 total)	-	110	+38	-10
	Morrigan fires a barrage of missiles. Although the damage may seem quite high, that's assuming every missile hits; in practice, the damage will usually vary between 3000 to 3400.

Shadow Servant	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	800x5+500 (3450)	Mid	11+11 (22 total)	53	13	+35	-33	Invuln frames 1-22

Astral Vision	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	-	-	13+20 (33 total)	-	-	-	-
	If Morrigan tags out during this hyper, it ends immediately.

Darkness Illusion Lvl 3	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	5230 (16 hits)	Mid	17+5 (22 total)	47	12/-	+83	-8	Hard Knockdown Invuln frames 1-30
	Air version recovers instantly after active window is done.
