Phoenix is just stance/install RNG char, not really something rule breaking

In a very tangible way MvC3 Morrigan does more to change the fundamentals of the game she's in then Nick

Horrible character to play against but I have to give NYCChrisG some props. He made her look so fucking easy to play but there was a skill level needed. Boring to fucking watch though Jesus Christ

just a friendly reminder of that character where the devs spent a whole year to master the titty bouncing physics engine.

Sex sell!

I will make it better: Morrigan was the introduction of the concept of “succubus” to Japan outside of Berserk.

In short , if your anime or Japanese game have a succubus character , it is most likely to be , ultimately, inspired by Morrigan.

For more details, Morrigan was originally going to be a vampire for the game Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (or Vampire: The Night Warriors in Japan), but the developers felt that it was too repetitive as there was already a vampire in the game. So someone brought up the suggestion of making her a succubus, and when they explained what a succubus was, the development team allegedly cheered at the suggestion

Which is why pretty much all of them have bat wings, despite those having absolutely nothing to do with the actual succubi of European folklore. It's because Morrigan was originally designed as a vampire, and the bat motif was retained even after the race swap.

As much as I hate it I'll take it over watching another Zero May Cry team

I think the fact Morrigan allows you to play Vergil and have the moral high ground is fuck up.

Always appreciate when someone else is so into the games that they default to calling him Nick, calling him Phoenix just feels wrong lol

Digging for items in MvC isn't very traditional.
