Jacqui render reveal

MK is turning into guns, lasers and special forces.
If Sindel is not part of the DLC characters while Jacqui is in the main roster NRS doesn't deserve a single $.
I know your probably being hyperbolic with that last comment, but come on.

The story looks amazing, the graphics and presentation are A+, there's some big fan faves returning, many of the classic characters look like the best version of those characters in the history of the franchise, and in your opinion none of that matters and the hundreds of people who spent years of their life creating this game don't deserve a single penny because they included a character you dislike over one you do.

This dream has a sad ending
Meh, Personally i never found her to be exciting in like any aspects except maybe her high tech variation with her cancels but then again that variation was absolute ass and all people used was full auto in mkx.

I don't know how they're going to give her a complete overhaul in order to make her an eye-catching character aesthetically and with gameplay.

I wish I could give this post a mega-like.

One thing I don't understand about a lot of Mortal Kombat fans (MK Twitter is just awful awful awful) is how 1 or 2 characters literally whip them into a frenzy. Do you like Mortal Kombat or not? If you really do, then I can't figure out how the lack of Sindel or Rain means you don't want to buy the game.

This game has Johnny Cage. Raiden. Sonya. Skarlet is coming back and looking awesome. Baraka is back. Noob is back and Ringwraithin' it up. Scorpion and Sub-Zero are here, of course. This is Mortal Kombat. What game were you expecting here?

The obsession with special forces is also quite weird. There's nobody left alive to defend Earthrealm besides Raiden and the special forces. Where did you think they were going to go on this? Moreover, SF characters are iconic, major pieces of MK. They are never going away.

NRS shill #42069
For a character who got so much hate in the last game and now has a second chance, you would expect NRS to put some serious work to upgrade the character. So let's just wait for her gameplay reveal and the alt skins
nrs cant even animate d3s bro

dont hold your breath. idk why you guys play yourselves lul

I'm a lover, not a fighter
I initially thought this was a horrible model, but after looking at this a bit, I think part of the problem is that terrible coloured armor. If it was black and grey or something I think she would look pretty good.

She was by far the most bland and uninspired new character in MKX, so hopefully they improve her in this one.

Have you ever seen the Rain?
"There's nobody left alive to defend Earthrealm besides Raiden and the special forces. "

And this comes from a Mortal Kombat fan? LOL.

Instead of 4 gun humans, they could have gone with 3 Special Forces
- Cassie, the only gun user,
- Jacqui, with both the tech-buddies of Cassie and Sonya
- Johnny without weapons at all)

and 2 gods (Raiden and Fujin)

Add in Cyrax with his traps, nets and cybers-stuff for a 4th special forces character and maybe even a 5th in Kenshi with his telekinesis and spirit sword, instead of Sonya and Jax, (two parents + gun/tech users). and voila, a lot more people would be happy about the roster and less people would complain about the Special Forces, guns and that kind of shit. Without Jax in the same game, people would probably grow into Jacqui some more.

My thoughts on Jacqui, and now that we have a better look at her

She looks alot better, and i am excited too see her play.

Also, this render likely hints she will be on the next kombat kast, question is if there will be a second character with her (Erron, Kotal, Dvorah) or just her.

'ello baby, did you miss me?
Twitter loves Jacqui more than the Cage family ?
I wouldn't be surprised that Jacqui is a lot more popular than people here think.

Having said that, Johnny and Cassie's likes were spread between a lot of different Johnny and Cassie tweets. While this is the only Jacqui-specific thing out there. So it's bound to get a lot more. So I wouldn't be surprised, but it's far from conclusive as well.

Never seen so many people be so critical over a render before. I’ve noticed people sure like to complain about shit a lot though.
It's absurd. People will reach for anything to hate on this character.

As a sidenote, the Kano render looked way more plastic and unfinished (no chest hair!) than the in-game Kano model we've now seen. So if people actually hate this render, they should relax. Personally I think she looks great.

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
Half the fun of maining her, honestly.

“Y’all don’t like my character huh? You really won’t like her when she fucks you up”
I'm really hoping she's my style of character for that exact reason.
I didn't want her in at all, I didn't in MKX either, and I'm sorry but I hated the damn cornrows because they didn't look right on her. Also, Full Auto was unbearable.
That being said...THIS Jacqui looks like she would blow that Jacqui's back out with her gauntlets and smile doing it.
The future suit makes perfect sense because she from what I understand is the tech nerd.
The cold deadpan stare is about what I'd expect from a woman born and raised and versed in all this.
To quote Alanis Morrisette: she's already won me over, in spite of me.

Some people -- yes. However, it fundamentally depends on where people are coming from with their criticisms: whether it's purely superficial ("tits") / prejudicial ("character sucks"), or from a gameplay ("guns") and / or legitimate design critique ("generic") standpoint.

Indeed, to proof this thesis, critics of Jacqui (et al.) could turn the argument back upon those who seemingly "love" anything and everything that NRS have done...

Have you ever seen the Rain?
OMG, I'm blind. That blue energy around her arms, could it be? COULD IT BE?

Living forcefield? COULD IT BE!? PLEASE!!!?!??!?!?

Your mind tricks won't harm me!!!
I can't believe this character that almost everybody disliked gets an instant second chance whereas characters like Fujin, Havik, Reiko, Nitara etc., who were much better recieved by fans, remain ignored. I'm amazed!

DELETE this chick and bring in Sindel. The Queen is unique among the females in her looks and special powers, she enriches the roster. Or, bring in Nitara, who also looks unique among the MK females, and have her and Skarlet fight for blood.
LOL,

Did you watch the story trailer lol

Guns everywhere
The fuck do you expect Special Forces and Black Dragon to do, try to kung fu everyone? That works in a tournament like MK1 and MK2. MK11 is not a tournament.

Yeah it's a fighting game and yeah NRS has to make up a way to make everything come down to a 1v1 battle in the end, but on the way there they have to at least PRETEND that the story makes sense. And that means when you see an army of thousands of demons coming your way, you shoot the fucking shit out of them.

Johnny carries a handgun with him in his default skin, but does he use it when he's dropping fools 1v1? No. It's a measure of last resort. It's visual storytelling. "This is how dangerous the MK world is, that even Johnny has to have a gun on him just in case."

Also lets not forget that Shang Tsung used a goddamn rocket launcher in Mk9 story mode lol.
