No way is ChrisG dropping Morrigan. He has a huge leg up on the meta game because of that character, a lot of players still don't know that match up well. He will be switching among Vergil/Akuma/Hawkeye for the 3rd character while retaining the Morrigan/Doom shell.
Dieminion will not get too far with Zero May Cry. I think Dieminion will get far playing on defensive Zero because that shit is really hard to beat and easy to play but once he loses Zero his Vergil and Dante are going to die fast as well if they don't have a lot of meter. His original team is much better at dealing with "random" stuff and by random I mean players just pressing button and bull dozing their way in with Wolverine/Wesker etc. Not going to work with Joe throwing Boomerangs and Strange covering the screen. He too has a leg up on the meta game but he just needs to learn the Zero/Vergil match ups.
EC (and more importantly the NY scene) fell behind the meta game yet again because they didn't have top Zero, Vergil and Strider players in their scene just like they didn't have top Phoenix and Wolverine players in Vanilla. They are feeling the heat now and it's a bit too late to pick up those characters if you have never played them before. They also don't have the match up knowledge on the character and they let a character like Vergil get away with so much stuff it's almost criminal.
