Alpha counter into Dark Harmonizer seems risky, since you'd probably die unless you canceled into Shadow Servant, which is also risky. Shadow Blade is fully invincible though, and an amazing alpha counter since it leads into full combos. None of my characters have good alpha counter options...You know, one thing I really appreciate about this game (and perhaps its most addictive aspect) is how often I can look at certain setups, team compositions and the like and realize that there are always more efficient ways to do things. Like the footage of MorriDoom with Vergil just now made me realize that one of my biggest issues which I had when playing the team was timing the switches between Vergil & Morrigan on point.
And then I realized just today that Dark Harmonizer and Rapid Slash are godlike alpha counters. Build a ton of meter as Morrigan through sou sou, when the pressure gets too bad, alpha into stupid fast and invincible Rapid Slash. When you don't feel confident in handling things with Vergil backed by missiles alone, or if Verg needs time to rest, Alpha Counter into Morrigan and get some freebie meter.
Holy shit this could be so much fun.
