Jacqui Briggs Pre-Release Discussion Thread

[Kiss the Missile]

She isn't ugly feature wise, but god damn do I hate how much NRS loves to give their females that ugly ass "mean" face. They did it a ton with Wonderwoman in IJ1.

 

[exflyingbooty]

Man, azealia banks is pissed off

 

[BlunderGod]

I mean, can we get these as alts/skins for Cassie and Jacqui though????? Please? I would never wear another skin again. Come on NRS.

Nothing like kicking Elder God ass in exercise clothes... I get ya.

 

[Spinky]

And you (apparently) haven't even seen her best costume yet. https://twitter.com/_DaanishSyed/status/1108493155580760065

Also, this shot is a 10/10.

Jaqui easily looks better than MKX, but I'm still not a fan. Her animations are kinda weird and very robotic (she's not a cyborg, she just has a robot suit) and her jump move looks too much like a free "ignore footsies and mix" tool. Her cancels look cool and I might try them, but not using defensive meter scares me.

You’re not a troll. You’re just overly negative and consistently combative. I’m not sure why.

You literally said that you play characters just to spite people and call him "negative and consistently combative"? Come on man.

Let's be real, anyone still talking shit was never going to like this character to begin with, ever. And that's just fine. But to not acknowledge the massive improvements they've done to her here is foolish, Jacqui is looking mad good.

God forbit I can actually have an opinion. They've done improvements, but let's be honest: that wasn't hard to accomplish.

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Again, I love her much better, but I'm sad they are trying to make her replace my favorite Sektor.

 

[ShepherdOfFire]

I'm still not a fan of Jacqui, but what an improvement !

I don't like her default costume, but the third looks cool.

 

[Lord Snotty]

Her attacks are very Tron-esque, and I approve.

 

[Marlow]

I don't like her default costume, but the third looks cool.

Same. That 2nd loadout they showed was pretty yikes as well, but the 3rd redeemed it quite nicely.

 

[Marlow]

When I saw her grapple/clinch move it kind of reminded me of Goh from Virtua Fighter 5.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that female characters shouldn't get angry? Or that when they do angry, they shouldn't scowl?

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Why are you quoting me? I don't give a shit for your opinion. I literally just said it's ok to dislike her, I don't even necessarily like Jacqui myself and don't plan on maining her. Way to miss the point of my post completely.

 

[StormGoddess]

I really like this skin except her shoes...i wish she had boots

kind of glad most other Jacqui's main like this skin

and will use it.

but how do you guys feel about the 2nd skin shown?

 

[RoboCop]

I played Cheetah in I2 and it's looking like I'll be playing Jacqui in MK11. That super jump just looks like too much fun.

 

[pure.Wasted]

The second skin is EASILY my favorite of the three we saw. The third one doesn't fit her at all, IMO. "Let's take arguably the least feminine character on the roster and put her in a dress and high heels, it's genius! What could go wrong!"

 

[KillerKombatX]

Her first two gear options are definitely her gauntlets and her forcefield container thing so i wonder what her third one will be, it has to either be her hair or her legs those are the only two that make sense to me though im leaning more towards her legs because no one else has hair as gear the different hairs are always a part of a coustume.

 

[Marlow]

but how do you guys feel about the 2nd skin shown?

First impression was I didn't like it. I like the color scheme, but the jacket seems out of place. Wearing a denim jacket over combat gear just didn't seem to mix well.

I think her default skin is good, but I'm not a fan of the colors.

I actually really liked her 3rd loadout. Normally I don't care for the "lets have this character fight in an evening gown" look, but it looks so good to me that I like it.

I love the second skin, just not the colors of that particular version he used

 

[Pterodactyl]

I just realized something about this combo...

If she did the elbow finisher instead it could Krushing blow for another pop up into an even longer combo, probably a two or three hits of a fast string into ANOTHER clench.


Oooooooh she’s gonna be so nasty

i think sonya does...

 

[KillerKombatX]

i think sonya does...

Totally forgot about Sonya. Yeah then im like 90% sure now that her hair is probably her third slot.

 

[StormGoddess]

so there is some internet speculation that Jacqui will...

Spoiler: story spoiler speculation

betray Earthrelm and join forces with

based purely off of her alt skin

 

[Marlow]

Did she have any specific moves or use of her shield thing, beyond just being a part of different animations?

 

[SaSSolino]

You also devalued the opinion of anyone "still talking shit", and that's dumb.

 

[Madog32]

Not shown. But I'd be willing to bet its a gear move. She used to have that absorb/reflect move. I bet she makes similar use of this reflect wall
