Steal Your Opponent’s Heart and Meter with These Morrigan Soul Drain Loops in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

One of Morrigan’s most interesting tools in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is her Soul Drain, a projectile that lets the Darkstalkers alum steal from her opponent’s hyper meter when it hits. This move can be used by smart players to create combos where Morrigan takes two precious resources at once while at the same time regaining her own meter.

Hitomi Morita recently shared some footage demonstrating a couple such combos. These utilize Dante’s Jam Session and Rocket Raccoon’s Log Trap on assist, allowing Morrigan to go into her Astral Vision hyper mid-combo, start a loop with her fireballs, and sneak in more than a few Soul Drains.

The combos shown here do enough damage to kill off some characters but, more importantly, they build meter for Morrigan, giving her the opportunity to finish the combo off with a hyper while totally draining her opponent.

Community Member Discovers Unannounced Changes in Divekick Addition Edition +

divekick-cast-622-crop-2

While many were content to simply play Divekick Addition Edition + when it arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier this month, one community member in particular decided they would rather pore through the character data and see what they could dig up. Interestingly enough, they actually found some useful info.

Argenrost recently took to the official Divekick forum to share their findings, which include numerous (though small) balance changes for a handful of the cast. One would also expect these changes to make their way to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Steam versions as soon as the update becomes available on those platforms.

Divekick Addition Edition + Changes

Jefailey

  • Meter gain reduced by ~10%.
  • Maximum charge kick speed reduced by ~7%.

Kick

  • Meter gain increased by ~16%.

Mr. N

  • Meter gain reduced by ~12%.
  • During Kickfactor, kick speed increase improved from 25% -> 30%.

Stream

  • Kick speed reduced by ~7%.
  • Meter gain reduced by ~11%.

The Baz

  • And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Considering how minor the overall changes are, The Baz got hit the hardest.
    Meter gain reduced by 30%(!).
  • Bazkousen’s meter cost updated to match the PS3 version (~55% increase).
  • Acceleration on Mighty Swing reduced by ~4%.
