Jacqui Briggs Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Positive Poster!
I was never big on this character and while I maintain that there are several classic characters whom I'd sooner be interested to see,

I think she's fucking solid and I might even give her a spin as a secondary.

Jacqui looks amazing in that 3rd outfit they showed. Holy shit. I was totally “meh” about her until then.

Then add in those Cheetah moves from Injustice 2, and I’m completely sold. I will definitely be playing her now.

Ask me about my Mileena agenda.
This behavior is so childish... Why would you play a character only to piss people off? Pathetic.
Not as childish as people legit getting angry at a character's inclusion in a video game. I just make fun of it. Besides, the more exposure they get, the higher the chance that they'll finally get over it and actually enjoy the game. So in a way, I'm helping them.

No, they won't enjoy it if you beat them with the character they hate already, it only makes the hate grow worse.

That was my #1 reason for playing Aquaman in Injustice 1. (This was before the Jason Mamoa badassery)

I had no interest in playing Jacqui before today, but that third outfit and her great-looking gameplay completely sold me. Probably not a main, but I will still look forward to spiting the haters.

Or they could pull their head out of their ass and realize, “hey... that character is actually pretty cool” and give her a shot.

So far every character looks fantastic. I don’t think there is a bad choice, really. Sonya and Raiden are at the bottom of my list, but they still look great.

Then you are a hypocrite, I can remember you as being one of those people that called me a hateful troll.

Who's the troll now eh?

You’re not a troll. You’re just overly negative and consistently combative. I’m not sure why.
I have to fight off an entire network of clique members, so that's why I'm consistently combative, also if you read more into my posts I'm far from overly negative, especially lately.

Anyway, back on topic.

Its Game Over, Man
Pretty much confirms that Jacqui is the one that got the rework. The new moves, the combos, the dash cancels, she shows a lot of promise.

getting over there
I don't wanna start the panic, but looks like Jacqui got a lot of moves from her daddy. One can be a little bit worried about Jax.

Anyway, Jacqui looks amazing. NRS really made her a character to like now.
 
K, now you guys can like her without being contrarians. Jacqui's been saved (shame about the primary look, but same goes for Cassie really).

They really improved on Jacqui, she doesn't use guns (I mean the bullet-kind of guns) and she really looks fun as hell, and the ability to change her outfits really is useful here.

Cassie Cage still suffers from the attitude, new-generation-shit bubblegum/mobilephone crap.... too bad, I wanna like all the characters, but too bad I can't in this way.

proud TERF!
Jax > Jacqui

I don't want Jacqui to be constantly forced on us to try to make us accept her as a Jax replacement.

I speak truth, no lie
Jaqui looks sick!!! I might be on the minority but i think im going to run the knee special. Feel like it might be a great wiff punish from mid range

I don't see why a Gen Z teen acting like a Gen Z teen is a problem. You might find that personality irritating, but that just means NRS did a good job with the archetype.

She looks amazing and I'm her alternate skins, especially her third one.

I also love she has a Muay Thai stance.

I While her MKX costumes were just boring and uninspired, her main MK11 appearance is outright ugly, imo. Especially those toe-shoes and that hairstyle.
Eh, her dreads are fine. It makes sense for her to have natural hair.

I agree about the toe-shoes, though it might be part of her leg enhancements.

Regardless, her second and third outfits are my favorite, especially the Edenian looking one.

It's not that she has dreads, the way her hair is in her second costume where they're tied in the back looks great. It's that her main costume has her hair tied up on top to get her bangs out of her eyes that looks so bad.

I was wondering if they would adapt her based on her parents like cassie. They gave her some similarities to jax but kept her unique. Im definitely going to lab with her alot, really hoping shes not too technical. I swear it felt like she was constantly on top of kotal today.
