People are you seriously comparing Erron Black to Jacqui Briggs?
While Ed Boon and Vogel can write SHIT, the character has so much more potential than was given, unlike Special Forces number #, who are always just boring heroes who win every fight because they have to... (and when they die they suddenly become evil, boring)
Erron looks amazing and different, his aim is perfect, he has cool tools, I want his old guns back though, not the stupid new ones, they look to modern for my personal taste, but I'm sure you can change that.
If I want 2 gunfighters in the game they would be Erron Black as an old-gun user, and Stryker as new-gun users, preferably with order-bullets, as I hope Stryker ends up in order-realm gaining magical bullets. Cassie or Sonya (not both) can have the special forces boring weapons, I don't care, as long as it ain't the entire family (Jax, cassie, Jacqui)
Also that one guy from twitter who said Jacqui's alternative outfits are the best in the game, well let me say this, everybody has his/her own opinion, so I don't take his words for truth, he's probably a Special Forces lover to begin with, I care more for the outworld/netherrealm-gang + Black Dragon.
That being said, I still look forward to Jacqui's alternative costumes, and now I've seen that blue energy around her arms, AND Johnny Cage using boring weapons in the trailer, It gives me hope for her moves, powers and what not in the game. I don't hate Jacqui as much as others, I still think she would be dull with weapons. I know this whole clique can't stand me and always reports me for no reasons while they can easily ignore me (but they want to get my reactions, they are addicted to it)
EDIT: Oh, and YES, I do think people like Sonya and Jax can sit out this game, it worked perfectly fine in DECEPTION and MORTAL KOMBAT 2 (both games are ironically among the bests in the series), and they also leave Mileena, Shang Tsung and Reptile out of this game probably, they are just as legendary as Sonya.
