[@JokerPTOH]

Morrigan is to Darkstalkers like Captain Falcon is to F-Zero. More popular than the game series they each originated from respectively.

[@lewisaino]

Or Terry Boggard , Mai and Scorpion. You could put them in any game and they would still be popular.

[@zinnydin2345]

The reason for her popularity is quite simple really. She's hot.

[@absentcoder4552]

I dunno, I always enjoyed her personality. Sure, she can be summarized by the phrase "confident thrill junkie", but if she really existed, I would love to give myself the opportunity to speak to her. And just like her personality, playing her (at least in UMvC3) is really, really fun.

[@JurassicReptile]

More like she's in all the crossovers but that too. They need to put Lord Raptor and a couple more characters in other games.

[@thebloodedge284]

She's like the Mai of capcom

[@nevillehorseproductions4434]

Jurassic Reptile what if squidward kiss her

[@greynium7794]

"considered not really evil" *shows Morrigan killing a man and leaving his corpse*

[@ThaGhostGhod]

Eh. I’ve seen worse.

[@gantz9900]

I need a new darkstalkers in my life.

[@fandias7]

she is more popular than darkstalkers itself. Looks like succubus it's real...

[@reyemilio00]

One of the greatest videogame characters ever.

[@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105]

Oh Morrigan. I was yours forever, when i first played Darkstalkers at 15. You were my "main" in two different ways if you know what i'm saying.

[@deadbeatnetwork9792]

Morrigan playing videogames brings me life

[@Slayerofall21]

Seeing her and the whole DS cast getting slapped in crossovers is not nearly enough. Capcom, for the love of god, you have to move forward if you want to survive. Please, no more re-releasing old Darkstalkers games, just create a completely new one and your beloved profits will appear.

[@felineki]

The person on the objects team who came with her design was Hiroshi Shibata, btw. Also responsible for Felicia's design and Pyron's sprites.

[@Cashopeia]

She's my most favorite in Dark Stalkers!

[@austin8633]

Glad that this video talks about just how perfect the design of this character is. A literal succubus, the design is so well thought out that players of any game featuring her are enamored by her. I would argue that makes her one of the most perfected characters in all of MEDIA. The amount of detail that went into the framing / posing of her sprite work, its no wonder they never remade it all those years. It was perfect from the start. I'm not even attracted to women but I will never forget the first time I saw Morrigan in MvC1, especially the victory screen.

[@garyjones1688]

The beautiful succubus she was my crush in this game I love it the skotish voice they gave her and Capcom it was beautiful

[@bluewulv]

So unlike most of the characters, she just wants to have fun.

[@melaniite3640]

I’m currently making a cosplay of her cause i used to play her a fuck ton when i was little (plus. I love me a cute character) and honestly these videos feel like I’m watching an actual tv series. They’re greatly done!!!

[@Thedesertguy75]

Love her, lilith, and especially Felicia. Darkstalkers is such an iconic classic. love these creative characters

[@nataliatheassassin350]

Morrigan best waifu😘😍😘😘

[@neogotham2k395]

Morrigan Aensland is always my favorite character from Darkstalkers

[@averyvolk3022]

Is she not the most fanservicing game character of all time...just sayin'. I've always been a fan of her/the Darkstalkers universe though. :) I love her rich history and how she's a succubus without evil intention...fascinating. :D

[@Jogibear]

I always loved Morrigan as a character. I'm kinda sad though, that they changed her japanese voice actress though, the voice was so iconic to her.

[@bspain8542]

The original actor passed away

[@biorock48]

She's my favorite since the first time I ever played Darkstaklers in the arcades back in the day. Good video 👍🏾

[@nelsonta00]

Though I don't play Morrigan, she's still one of my favorite Capcom characters simply base on design and personality that's been given to her.

[@nixuniverse5240]

I love her so much ❤️

[@baixiaolang]

Felicia's design is supposed to be cute...so they made her naked with strategic fur placement? ...Did they think cute and sexy meant the same thing?

[@vinebatistak]

morrigan and darkstalkers was so iconic

[@TheGameGrinder]

Great video, and killer editing! This was a fun watch, and I'm looking forward to the next character bio. Morrigan is my favorite Dalkstalker.

[@thor2070]

Nice presentation on Morrigan Aensland's history. She is my 2nd favorite, next to Chun-Li.

[@fauxvier8519]

I am so definitely under her spell... Morrigan's beauty is just unrivaled, it's ridiculous.

[@VaniacV]

Morrigan is the most well feed succubus in history ...xD

[@SasukeUchiha-ix2yk]

I honestly like her for more than her appearance. yes that is pleasing but that's not really why I like her. I personally like how she is less on the side of consuming the life energy of men though sexual acts, and she's more playful, seeking challenge, and is confident in her skills. not to mention I like her fighting style, plus she has a relatable feeling of wanting to be free until she can't do it any longer. hey if I were in her shoes, i'd be looking for someone to fight and the like too, at least until i'm old and grey. but I could be in the minority on this one.

[@andrewingua3659]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a big fan of Ms. Morrigan Aensland.

[@zachberry4742]

I just want you to know that you’re the man for making this! Thank you!!!

[@Mr-Green0]

4:05 Morrigan:You think I am beautiful? Me:😍 Yes.

[@megabolt5898]

I'll understand if there's people that might not like this statement but still: Morrigan is proof of well "sex sells". I mean, she herself outsells her own series Dalkstalkers after all.

[@pirotessc1811]

Lovely video about Morrigan :)

[@bluewulv]

So Morrigan is a succubus that doesn't kill her prey? Or she does if she's especially playful?

[@mj82liby]

Why did the series end though? Also, that Fetus of God stage is sooooo disturbing in so many levels.

[@richardkusimenkah]

Morrigans dad is omega alpha dad.

[@clawrettadraws]

I'm so glad this guy's channel name is the nostalgic gamer, it describes the exact reason I'm here. I used to play Morrigan, Felicia, and Lilith all the time and I think my dad would play as Jon.

[@rileykazama3145]

She is very beautiful

[@firstcooommment3675]

That opening remix of Morrigan's theme. I need to hear more of it!!!

[@xanderwilliams8400]

You nailed this bro. I was nostalgia fangirlling it out over here. Following the story as I always knew it as a kid 😍🤣

[@ZeldasFinalFantasy]

I love her!

[@NataliaNeeSama]

I saw this video on a site where says "why Morrigan is the most reconizable Darkstalker characters", and in truth, all Darkstalkers characters are as fun and creative as Morrigan is. Really. The thing is that Morrigan is the protagonist of the series, that's why she gets more attention as well. I think Capcom tried to push Demitri as protagonist, but never worked out because he is too evil. So, as the protagonist, she is bound to get more attention than the other characters. Anyway, wasn't Jedah a S+ Class Demon as well?

[@Funkermonsterco]

+NataliaNeeSama Whether Morrigan or Demitri is the main protagonist is a debatable subject tbh. In actuality, Demitri at least _was_ the main protagonist before Morrigan eclipsed him in popularity. Personally, I would argue that Demiti is the protagonist while Morrigan is more of the poster girl for Darkstalkers, although she is far more popular, he has a bigger role than she does story-wise. In the first 2 games, he's the one who hosted the fighting tournament in his attempt to rule Makai, AND he's the one who killed Pyron by consuming him. She does play a bigger role in Vampire Savior (mostly because of Lillith's involvement with Jedah and Demitri's goal to challenge her), but I still argue Demitri's is bigger when he's in the Majigen to challenge her and Jedah to rule Makai, while Morrigan is interested more in looking for excitement, as usual. Regardless of who it is though, I highly doubt that's why Capcom gives her more attention when Felicia also appears in more crossover games, even though her purpose in all 3 games is fairly minimal story-wise. Donovan and Jedah also have much bigger roles in their respective games, yet they don't get featured nearly as much. Really, I think Capcom uses Morrigan more because of her sex appeal and more unique moveset than anything. Also, just because he's evil doesn't mean he can't be the protagonist, you seem to be a bit confused on the actual definition of protagonist (no offense): The lead character of a movie, game, book, or some other form of media, it doesn't have anything to do with a character's alignment. Invader ZIM features an alien who wants to take over Earth and eliminate his human adversary, Dib; yet Zim is the protagonist because in most of the episodes (sometimes we follow Dib instead) the audience follows him in his misadventures to do so. There's nothing stopping a villain from being a protagonist, its just more common to have a protagonist be a hero or an anti-hero at worst.

[@NataliaNeeSama]

No, I didn't "confused" with the definition of protagonist, do not assume please, I really don't like when people act like I'm dumb or naive. I know protagonist can be of any aligment, I'm a Death Note fan, the problem is that I can't see Capcom working with a evil protagonist. That's not their way or working. The closest thing they came from a Evil protagonist, aside Demitri, is Red Arremer/Firebrand in Demon's Crest, and funny enough, both are demons who seek power to rule. What appears to me is that Capcom has trouble working with evil protagonists because they don't know what to do to them or how to market them. Good or Evil, a good protagonist need for us to related ourselves to them, and is a bit hard for us to related with Demitri, unless we are power hungry ourselves. Some people would, for example, related to Light Yagami from Death Note, and his urge to clean the world from criminals. I believe no matter how evil a protagonist is, the viewer need to relate with them for a good enjoyment.

[@carlbloke8797]

Funkermonster the difference though is that Invader Zim while the villain he is actually FUNNY. Using a person who is malicious and bloodthirsty and evil as a protagonist is downright absurd. They need to be a role model and relate to people

[@brandon694_6]

Morrigan Aensland for smash 👍👍👍

[@Black_Aces]

Damn i'd let her take my energy but I dont want to die

[@cloudstrifer6304]

+Andx56 Is the price for such pleasure :*(

[@absentcoder4552]

+Andx56 Funny thing, according to one piece of Darkstalkers fictional media, the bats Ms. Aensland totes around are actually the souls of those she gets lucky with, freed from the hardships of life and given the pleasure to serve her.

[@Black_Aces]

Corbin West Hey that actually doesn't sound like a bad thing now haha

[@hif100]

man all of your videos are so good! incredibly well put together

[@Alusnovalotus]

All hail Yayoi Jinguji!!! The sexy masterful voice that was the siren call to us all!!! 🦇 ✨ ✨

[@dalemcilwain]

Love her fighting style and special moves. Her looks and Scottish accent works well with her origins.

[@jheicobguzman6132]

🦇🦇🦇All Hail Morrigan Aensland!!!🦇🦇🦇

[@Dibosque]

this is great , this is awesome.

[@KSapphire8989]

I love the videos your putting out regarding darkstalkers. This one being one of my favorites. (Felicia being my all time fave.) But I was meaning to ask. What is the remix of Morrigan's theme did you use. I'm just in loved with the music. You picked.

[@WarriorV8]

Great narrating skills ! your voice is very calm 👌🏼

[@hajni16]

Do a piece on "WHO IS NOSTALGIC GAMER". I guess long time fans of your channel would love it!

[@shadowspeare1145]

Good Video! I never knew much about her backstory. Love Dark Stalkers and wish Capcom revived the franchise. I guess Morrigan isn't going anywhere though ^_^

[@TheJohnnyPatriot]

+LivingCorpseX Yup thats how I knew her from, but I actually knew Felicia from the Dark Stalkers cartoon as she was the main protagonist.

[@micomedia5169]

Jonathan Parham I only knew her from mvc as well, including Felicia in mvc2. I never even knew about Darkstalkers until recently when i decided to know more about Morrigan. When i started watching Darkstalkers games online, i realized how many characters in mvc2 came from Darkstalkers. Anyway, she's my personal favorite female capcom character and you know why ;-)

[@TheClumsyXeno]

+Shadowspeare1 Luckily, a few others aren't going anywhere either. ^_^ (Felica, and Hsien-Ko are two of them)

[@absentcoder4552]

+Jonathan Parham Don't even mention that half baked excuse for a spinoff.

[@TheJohnnyPatriot]

Corbin West Tha hell you talking about?

[@lewisaino]

She reminds a bit of Raven but with a good natured dad.

[@AngelRodriguez-in5po]

For a long time I thought SHE was the protagonist of Darkstalkers, it wasn't until the retrospective that I learned that it was Demitri.

[@orlando108]

I've always loved Merriman since I first played Darkstalkers 3 as a kid when my older brother got it. In any crossover game, she is my go-to character! I also loved her English voice in MvC3!

[@micahfries7878]

How cold/hot is that water she's skinny-dipping in at 0:28?

[@Brunation]

Keep going with this videos! There are full of awesomeness!!

[@2la84me]

Scottish Morrigan is something that needs to return. Id be about it.

[@hotchocolatefitness]

the best character in the series! i'm a fan ! great videos and appreicvate all the time you put into these.

[@asaplueiii]

08:08 wish I was Lilith

[@tracyndiyob162]

i love morrigan!!! one of my favorite capcom characters(i like her way more than chun li or cammy.i'd agree with her feeling more adult by comparision.)and i love her personality/story(darkstalkers is my favorite story in a capcom game and the series needs to come back as the other characters have just as much appeal.) a fun loving,sexy yet friendly succubus that is playful but very responsible with not killing senselessly(she does feed on lustful dreams but canonically hasn't killed innocents.)and is so respectful and pleasingly laid back that i'd want to be friends with her.(especially love her hidden love of gaming i'd love to see in the next game.:3) along with chun li she's my pick for the next capcom character in smash bros. as i think it would be cool if in her trailer she went against bayonetta.(bayonetta kinda is a modern day morrigan just more teasing than flirty as both are very strong,confident in their abilities and can be sadistic but are also very friendly if given respect.:3)

[@naotemnobrazil189]

My fav always, me in Darkstalkers Version. Morrigan!

[@heroicdefender9747]

Do meet the Darkstalkers- Jon Talbain next

[@Tomie..]

I am 4 years late, but Morrigan in CvM2 is hands down my ultimate favorite ever. I even bought darkstalkers on my ps3

[@tracyndiyob162]

happy 27th anniversary darkstalkers!!! :3

[@alanalexander146]

She carried the whole Darkstalkers franchise.

[@180223]

Keep up the good work bro

[@CarlMakesItEasy]

THE INTRO IS CLEAN AF!!!!!!!

[@marcioroberto9820]

Amaaaazing work dude, Congrats!

[@Omenislovely]

3 Things 1. Great video, tbh i thought i knew all about her before but this gave me a bit more :) 2. Morrigan = Best Girl (First Waif UwU) 3. We need a new darkstalkers game ;-;

[@RoIllustrations]

Awesome vids! I personally love the Darkstalker series and I really enjoyed this! Subbed! :)

[@mrgrandi]

Would be interesting to see Darkstalkers in a cinematic appearance, live actors

[@KingOfStrapFanboy922]

Excellent video my friend! Great job explaining the lore. Didn't even know what dark stalkers was but I've always been interested in Morrigan.

[@androgynousgaming5545]

i loved morrigan Lilith and her split male counterpart i miss those real arcade days

[@lordxrz6588]

I actually like the Scottish voice

[@nalau5315]

一接觸魔域戰士就十分喜愛Morrigan 各方面都十分完美直到現在，房屋內還有她的手辦模型！希望以後還能買到她的摸型

[@heisamonster]

Morrigan catching our favorite dog sun goddess is just perfect .

[@jindermahal322]

Bayonetta kind of reminds me of Morrigan.

[@xavierparis2789]

I can't figure out what's weirder. Hair for clothing? Or bats?

[@ShinKyuubi]

Morrigan and Lilith..their design has become kinda the default for what anime and games depict Succubi as. Almost any depiction of them in any Japanese media is pretty likely to have a bat/vampireish theme about them on top of the whole lust demon thing. sometimes a spade/heart tipped tail is added as well but bat wings are almost a solid bet now..not that there's anything wrong with that, given that Succubi are, like you said, supposed to appear as the most appealing vision to their prey..the common anime and game depiction that Morrigan has inspired would be completely within their power to become.

[@irinamakarova7227]

You deserve more subs !! Hopefully you continue to upload more content on your youtube kudos !

[@brianbole6139]

Morrigan Aensland Has ALWAYS been the ONLY reason I EVER played the Darkstalkers games. This GORGEOUS succubus has ALWAYS been my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE character. Loved her best in MVC Infinite.

[@arthursnyder6424]

I think her win quote in MvC Infinite might even break the fourth wall a bit because she says "Let's play again sometime"

[@DeathComMultimedia]

Excellent video. I think we should try and urge Ono to consider adding Morrigan to SFV as a guest character. Granted, its unlikely due to the seriousness they are placing on SFV at the moment (noodle bowl finishers aside). Her inclusion would also give us a taste of what we could visually expect from a new Darkstalkers game, and hopefully spawn more interest in making that happen.

[@heynae2016]

2:49 That art is gorgeous!

[@diegoguevara5371]

Morrigan baby love

[@jmvg1406]

Hi, where is Huitzil/Phobos and Lilith, Q-Bee? :(

[@Razzy1312]

The first time I saw Morrigan playing Capcom vs. Marvel back in the day was one of my "coming of age" moments.

[@HelpfulPip]

Fun fact the bat ears on her head are a reference to devilman

[@Moonshinehearts]

This is so helpful Thank you

[@DC_Morningstar]

At minus Morrigan Is a nice demon she is nice and loyal to ber friends and do anything for the humans

[@coreyvicesassistant4403]

Good video. Nice to see more Darkstalkers stuff out of you.

[@rudolphdouglas6765]

what is the name of the intro song?

[@3DZON_R870]

Very nice and well put together. Love your work on this series.

[@ryantres85]

She is the most popular female character of all arcade games, and the sexiest.

[@BoyWithTheBeanie]

Morrigan and lilith are sisters. You can't change my mind

[@koganakajima7104]

She was & is my favorite character from Darkstalkers, so one of the first women I loved in one game. I love her 'cause she's hot, but too for her story: instead she has a great power inside, she's not evil to use it for bad things, that makes her more lovely. She's not only body, so has a good heart. She has all the sexiness whe want of a girl! A not evil succubus, but keeping her sexy side!

[@radiant987]

in love and in slumber for all eternity....

[@putijesiele.6867]

I really loved her since my childhood days. :)
