Darkstalkers vs Samurai Shodown, Capcom vs SNK, despite looking so, neither of these girls are human but that does not stop anyone from wondering who is the prettiest of them all

<Cue: Invader Theme>

Toomi: Morrigan Aensland, the succubus of the Makai Nobel,

Megumi: And Iroha, the swan maiden,

Toomi: Capcom and SNK have a video game rivalry for years and among those rivalries are also between characters in fighting games.

Megumi: Including these hot not so human women. She's Sachi, Toomi and I'm Megumi.

Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle

Morrigan is feeling succulent for a What if Battle

<Cue: Sexual by NEIKED>

Toomi: A succubus born in the 17th century Scotland descended from the witch Morgan le Fay, Morrigan was found and raised by Belial Aensland after her biological parents were killed during the civil war that has been occurring in the Makai realm.

Sachi: The infant possessed a vast power which Belial saw to be vital in the preservation of balance within the Makai, splintering Morrigan's soul so she would not be overwhelmed by her full potential and live a normal childhood.

Megumi: During the 1990s, Morrigan began to venture into the human world and ended up being dragged into the schemes of Pyron before learning of Belial's passing and reluctantly took her place as ruler of the Makai.

Toomi: It was when Jedah Dohma surfaced that Morrigan learns of her full potential when she absorbed the fragment of her soul that became Lilith.

Sachi: As a Succubus, Morrigan is very vain and lives for the excitement of battle. She can reshape her wings into spikes and blades for offense, use them as shields, or turn them into a cloud of bats

Megumi: She uses a variety of magical attacks as well. But compared to other Succubi, Morrigan is a special case due to the vast power she possessed at the time of her birth.

Toomi: Some of Morrigan's unique powers is the ability to change clothes and hair in an instant and she can steal energy from her adversaries by kissing them.

Sachi: While able to suck the souls of men for nourishment, Morrigan can secrete life-extending liquids from sheer stimulation or by extracting a liquid from the mind of someone dreaming.

Megumi: She is considered as one of the strongest in the Darkstalkers universe. She is rank as an S+ Class Darkstalker, which means she's pretty darn strong. She has superhuman strength, as it only takes one-shot from her to destroy Huitzels, which I kid you not, powerful robots that defends against the supernatural mainly against Darkstalkers.

Toomi: She also has the durability and endurance of a Darkstalker, which means she heals fast and is durable enough to survive being burned, being freeze to death as well as endure some energy based attacks, electrocuted and even cut to pieces. She even fought Demitri Maximoff in battle a few times.

Sachi: The same Demitri who can absorbed a weakened Pyron in his true form.

Feats

Considered to be one of the strongest Darkstalkers in the Darkstalker universe

Held her own against Demitri Maximoff and Pyron

Defeated Pyron and Lilith

Became the Queen of Makai after fusing with Lilith

Can kill her opponents with a kiss

Can travel between the Makai and Human world effortlessly

Capable of one-shotting Huitzels, which are powerful demons

Durable enough to survive freezing, burning, being hit with energy blasts, and even bisection.

Toomi: And that's after being born as an S Class Noble, defeating and fusing with Lilith, becoming queen of Makai and the Aensland family, and being considered to be one of the most powerful Darkstalkers.

Megumi: And the hottest!

Toomi: Unfortunately, Morrigan is not without flaws of her own. She doesn't take fighting seriously, especially against male opponents

Sachi: Some of her attacks may take a while to charge and she can be left wide open

Weakness

Does not take fighting seriously

Tends to underestimate male opponents

Is willing to stand there to let her opponent get a chance to test out their full power

Has lost in battle against Demitri Maximoff

Some of her attacks needs time to recharge

Can die within two days if trapped and unable to be stimulated.

Toomi: But her biggest weakness is her need to feed because if she isn't simulated within two days, she can lose power and eventually die.

Sachi: And Demitri Maximoff has defeated her in one occasion

Megumi: But regardless, her control over sexual tendencies has given the the victory many times. I mean I can see why, she's really hot!

Toomi: Megumi! She could suck your soul you know!

Megumi: Heh heh. Worth it!

Morrigan: No? A pity. We have so much in common. Our passion...great bone structure. But if you will give me what I need...I will take it from you.

Iroha serves her master in a What if Battle

<Cue: Cater 2 You by Destiny's Child>

Toomi: Swans are the largest extant members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. They are also best known story about a swan is the fable "The Ugly Duckling" and are often a symbol of love or fidelity because of their long-lasting, apparently monogamous relationships.

Megumi: Yeah and these things gets really real when a swan turns into a human.

Sachi: Meet Iroha, a crane who transforms herself into a Japanese maid where she serves her master and appears to think of him as the most important aspect of her life.

Toomi: Interesting to note that her story is based off a Japanese folklore called Tsuru no Ongaeshi which is about a crane who returns a favor to a man. A variant of the story where a man marries the crane that returns the favor is known as Tsuru Nyōbō

Megumi: And then you guys turn that swan into sexy girl. Hey Toomi, Sachi, didn't we have a swan previously featured?

Sachi: That's a different Swan. Emma Swan who isn't really a swan.

Toomi: Anyways, Iroha fights with two butterfly swords and relies on her speed for close ranged combat.

Megumi: She can also double jump. Several of her moves hint to her original form as a crane such as her projectile (a white feather) and her normal fighting stance.

Sachi: The most obvious reference is her POW move, where she grabs her opponent and behind shoji doors, disrobes and physically beats her foe. Her silhouette during this sequence briefly changes into a crane.

Toomi: Iroha is a high mobility character with a plethora of options to move around the screen and control space. She can use her fireball and various air specials to keep the opponent at bay, move closer, or just control space around her. She also sports good mixup options once she's up close.

Sachi: Instead of having a run, Iroha has a fixed-range hop-like dash that is airborne starting from frame 6. She can hop over grounded projectiles and low-hitting normals with her dash

Feats

Above average walkspeed and hop-dash that can high profile normals and fireballs

Amazing air mobility with a double jump and multiple air specials

Strong high/low mixup

Good fireball that can be TK'd to reduce recovery

Toomi: Except that she must always commit to the full animation, and she lacks any dashing normals.

Weakness

No traditional run makes it harder to chase rolls or force throw mixup

Mediocre ground normals and no running normals

Generally quite low average damage

Air specials have a fair amount of landing recovery and can be baite

Megumi: But regardless, she's is one sexy swan that I wish who would become my maid!

Iroha: One moment, Master. Right, time to serve you a little pain

Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.

Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!

Fight

Cherry Blossom garden

In the lush green and pink garden, Iroha stood below a tree, watering the plants

Just then, a portal opens up in the middle of the garden, shocking Iroha.

Iroha: YAHHHHHH!!!

Pushing herself up, Iroha watches as a tall slender winged figure emerges from the portal. looking around scornfully.

The woman is very attractive but something about her seems to emit a rather malicious vibe.

Iroha listens as Morrigan spoke out.

Morrigan: A country of hot souls... doesn't that sound interesting. Isn't the human world boring?

<Cue: Wings of Yearning Samurai Shodown OST>

Iroha then spoke to her.

Iroha: I vowed to keep my master safe. No matter who my opponent is. I can't afford to lose.

Morrigan: Come at me together or one at a time. It doesn't matter. I will still suck your life from you.

Announcer: Fight!

<Cue: Morrigan Aensland theme Darkstalkers OST>

Morrigan: Soul fist!

Morrigan struck by firing several chi blasts at Iroha, only for the maid to deflect them with her blades.

SLASH!!!

Iroha swings her blades upwards, cutting into Morrigan before leaping up, slicing her with her spin attack.

SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!

Morrigan: ARGHHHH!!!

Recovering from the blow, Morrigan flies up, dodging a swing from Iroha before throwing her legs out, striking into Iroha.

WHAM!!!

Morrigan then grabs Iroha before slamming her onto the ground.

BAM!!!

Morrigan: How does it feel to fall down? Does it feel as good as you thought it would?

Morrigan chuckles as Iroha pushes herself up.

Iroha: OK, except can I kill you?

Morrigan: Ooh, I can see frustration pent up in your eyes. It gives me chills. Don't stop... Keep staring at me with those big, angry eyes...

Iroha throws her blade at Morrigan, forcing her to deflect it with her hand.

This however, left her open for a left swing from Iroha.

SLASH!!!

Morrigan: ARGHHHH!!!

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Iroha attacks with a series of kicks before lunging upwards, slicing right into Morrigan.

SLASH!!!

Iroha then swings out both her blade outwards, creating what looks like a pair of wings as she cuts into Morrigan.

SLASH!!!

Iroha: It's time to nap

Suddenly, a traditional japanese door closes in front of everyone, allowing only the silhouettes of Iroha and Morrigan to be seen.

Iroha strips off her robe before striking Morrigan repeatly in a series of blows.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Iroha: QUOOOOO!!!

A shadow of what looks like a swan flashes momentarily as Iroha knelt down, bowing as her hands catches both her blades before she swings them upwards, slicing right into Morrigan.

SLASH!!!

Morrigan grits her teeth as she falls back first onto the floor as Iroha says.

Iroha: Some days things just don't go your way.

However, Morrigan simply smirks and she disappears, shocking Iroha.

Iroha: Huh?

As Iroha looks around, she heard Morrigan's voice saying to her.

Morrigan: Ah honey. Is that all you got? I thought you'd entertain me at least a little... I see I overestimated you!

<Cue: Super Summer by NiziU>

Before Iroha knew what was happening, she felt something hard slam into the back of her head, causing her to wince.

BAM!!!

Iroha looks, shocked as she saw Morrigan smirking at her.

Morrigan: Soon your pain will turn into an indescribable ecstasy. Darkness Illusion!

Morrigan leaps up and suddenly, an illusion of Morrigan appears behind Iroha where the two succubuses flies forward, striking Iroha repeatly with a combination of attacks.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

The two swings they legs out, sending her flying up with a kick.

WHAM!!!

As Iroha is sent flying up, the two Morrigans jumps up and attack her with another combination of blows.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

The two then swings their legs downwards, sending Iroha crashing down onto the floor.

CRASH!!!

With Iroha weakened, Morrigan then summons Lilith into the scene wheres she stays by her side in a leaping victory pose.

Morrigan then tosses and kisses a heart to Iroha where the projectile connects into her, causing the curtains close on the screen until only Morrigan and Iroha's silhouettes could be seen.

Morrigan then attacks with a series of blows.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Morrigan then inhales out a gust of air, absorbing Iroha's soul before the curtain opens, revealing a now dead Iroha lying on the floor.

Morrigan flies up, sitting crosslegged as she remarks out.

Morrigan: Sweet dreams, cutie. See you there.

KO!

<Cue: Love, Again by CHIHIRO>

Megumi: So spoilers, the hot one won.

Toomi: Iroha's skills with her blade may enable her to hold her own against Morrigan but she has no advantages to begin with.

Sachi: Morrigan being a succubus has the ability to suck the souls out of people so with that power, she could literally end the fight instantly if she wants to.

Megumi: Kind of reminds me of that tv show Lost Girl where Bo Dennis, the succubus sucks souls out of people of both genders.

Toomi: But what sealed Iroha is her lack of feats or independence as she fights to defend her master...

Megumi: Whom I could assume are the simps playing the game.

Toomi: Right. And being a dlc and a non-canon character in some games, Iroha hasn't appeared in that many of the Samurai Shodown's story mode or even performed real canonical feats to match any characters like at all/

Sachi: While Morrigan on the other hand has consistently defeated enemies not only capable of wiping out cities, but even held her own against Demitri and Pyron, enemies that could blow up entire planets. She's on a way different level compared to Iroha.

Toomi: Having much better achievements, powers and skills set compared to Iroha, we can conclude that all Morrigan needs is just to suck Iroha's soul to claim the victory of this battle.

Megumi: I could have swan that Morrigan deserves the win in this shodown.

Sachi: The winner is Morrigan Aensland

Morrigan: My victories, like my beauty are eternal

Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.

Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.

Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles...

Trivia

* The connections between Morrigan Aensland and Iroha is that both combatants are popular female fighters from fighting games best known for their beauty and skimpy outfits.

* And despite looking human, neither combatants are humans at all with Morrigan being a succubus and Iroha being a swan

* Coincidently, both companies, Capcom and SNK have a rivalry with each other

* But both combatants are polar opposites as Morrigan is a royal who fights for herself and is willing to commit heinous crimes whereas Iroha takes pleasure in serving her master and will go all out in protecting them

* This is the first time a Darkstalkers character fights a Samurai Shodown character

* This is the first time a Darkstalkers character wins a What if Battle

* This is the first time a Samurai Shodown character loses a What if Battle

* Interesting to note that Iroha is the inspiration to Danvers-Kara's old username IrohaNeo with Iroha from the character and Neo from the company SNK Neo

* And despite what she said, Iroha is not really her real name, in fact, Danvers-Kara has never really revealed her real name to anyone for safety reasons considering how back in 2018, her profile actually attracted a lot of simps though all that seem to vanish after 2018 ended when she changed it to Laura_Hollis after the character Laura Hollis from the webseries Carmilla

* Megumi even made a reference to Emma Swan from Emma Swan vs Skye due to her having the word Swan in her name though she isn't really a swan like Iroha

* In the post fight analysis, Megumi even referenced Bo Dennis from the tv series Lost Girl who is a succubus and like Morrigan, is also a main character of her own series
