Hello!
Got an early copy of the game and decided Jacqui is going to be my main.
First up, yes she seems pretty good but I'm a noob at FG's still so take that with a grain of salt.
@Shakes the Tech Dome is this big dome she puts down that covers pretty much all of the neutral screen. She takes reduced damage while in the dome. As far as I can tell so far, that's all it does.
Also by tournament variations do people mean the default variations?
Cause if so, no default variation has the tech dome. Neither do any of the variations have the Plasma Grenade (Arcing, DoT thing) or the rockets. The default skill is a pulse blast type thing with a short range.
The first variation called All Army has a Upward Lunging Knee skill and a diagonal downward dive bomb that can be done in the air.
The second variation Lethal Weapon has a throw ability (Clinch) that grabs and can be modified. An enhancer to throw escapes called Robo Grappler. And Cybernetic Override, allowing her to modify, as far as I can tell, just her 112 string. Which is her fastest starting string.
Also Jacqui gets the award for the stubbiest, most useless uppercut in the game. Her f2 is a better uppercut than her d2.
