Briggs Family Trailer

Remember that leak there was about the character bios? It said Takeda would be a love interest to Cassie... yet I see him and Jacqui smiling at eachother, and Jacqui even looking away somewhat shyly.

Could be something there. ;P

That's not the point though, point is that while the roster is great, the amount of random old dudes and their family members is just too much. Not because of my own fandom, but the likes of Baraka, Fujin, Havik, Kai, any of the cyborgs, Smoke, Kabal / Mavado offer way more than some of those. It's just too much blandness for me. I would be cool with Jacqui without Sonya / Cassie and with Jax if Johnny / Takeda would be out.

That IS the point.
Let's not forget that MKX is supposed to be a "passing of the torch" game, and while I don't care either way about Johnny, Sonya and Jax being in, I can surely see WHY.
I don't agree with Jax being in, just for the sake of Jaqui (which is what it seems like), but if it means that Jaqui will take his place from here on out, for 1 or 2 games, then I'm all for it.
The same goes for Johnny, Sonya and Kung Lao.
Ever since E3 2014, Ed Boon said that MKX would have descendants and relatives, and that he liked the interaction between the old characters and their relatives, so I really don't see where all the hate is coming from.
Yet, countless times on the Internet (not only here in TRMK), it's the same tired and repeated "Waaaaaaaah ___________ family character is taking a roster slot from _____________ character that I'd prefer to have in."
NO.
Whatever character it is which YOU want in isn't having their roster slot "taken up" by ___________ character.
That's false.
Chances are that NRS said something like "Baraka, Kabal, Havik, Kai, Smoke, Sindel, Jade, Cyrax, Sektor and Nightwolf won't fit into what we're trying to do, and these are the characters that are planned for MKX."
This idea of relatives being in MKX has been around since E3, and Boon never said that Sonya and Johnny were the only ones to have kids.
That's just something that people merely assumed.

Yes, it is bratty to call a character 'boring' & 'generic' and deem them a waste of a character slot simply because you dislike them. Do you understand the simple concept of subjectivity? You may find them boring, others don't.

Boring and Generic are perfectly acceptable criticisms, and in my eyes they both are. When you have a character who could easily stand in as an expendable NPC, you got one generic looking character. When your powers are grabbing (Kano has that covered in a variation), a single projectile (nothing special about it) and punching the ground (shinnok has this move), those are some boring moves. It doesn't excite me, I don't find them engaging, and personally I think other characters would have added more variety and fun to the game.
I'm not saying your wrong for liking them, I'm not saying they are a waste of a slot, just that I'm personally let down other characters with more potential were favoured over them.
 
Both look lame to me. I found Jax always to be the worst of the classic characters: his personality, his gameplay, his everything, he was just straight up boring. I expected Jacquie to be the same like her father, and turns out it wasn't too far from it. I'm glad my main characters are already in, but I would still trade these 2 for someone like Noob, or Smoke, or Cyrax and Sektor.

On the bright side, I know who my punching bag will be.

Congrats on your main making it in. It goes to show everyone cant be pleased. LOL
 
Jax looks great. Love that they incorporated a cigar into his personality.

Still not sure about Jacqui. Need a gameplay background.

Also, that's a big spoiler.
Spoiler:
Quan Chi is never defeated? He still has Kung Lao, Kitana, Sindel, etc, as revenants, 25 years later? I wonder how Subby and Jax were freed, then. Also made it seem like Jacqui actually kills Ermac, but that could just be trailers being trailers.

Right? Damned entitled brats that make up a disappointingly sizable chunk of this fanbase don't realize that NOT EVERY CHARACTER IS AIMED AT YOU. THE ROSTER DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.
 
Won't be using Jaqui (I don't really use female characters in the first place) Jax looks really cool tho, concept art I think looked better but nothing wrong with him now. Looks like a badass.

Edit: Did we see his alternate and primary costume. A denim jacket, and a military jacket?
 
And another 2 awesome characters! Looks like an amazing roster, though the lack of cyrax hit me hard im sure I can get another main! And just to give some advice the people complaining, its just 2 of them! Who cares :D
Im sure we're all going to have a ton of fun with this roster, and the people pooping and crying can go play some tetris.
 
I started to like Jax in MK9 so I hope he is improved upon even further in MKX. There's not really enough gameplay footage in the trailer to judge how different he is in this game. Jacqui will be an experimental process for a few months to see if she has what it takes to relieve Jax of his Mortal Kombat duties. Just from this trailer alone , they look kind of boring , but I won't judge until the game is released.
 
Cool trailer.
Characters look solid enough I guess. May give Jacqui a try.

Does Sub Zero fight/test everybody in that scene where they meet up with him? lol

Also um, takedaXjacqui ?? I think I see that hint.

Damn son who pissed in your Cherrios this morning?! It's a forum for people to post their thoughts and opinions, no need to get upset. Just simply don't reply to those that disagree with you (much like I won't reply to whatever your probably going to say about this post...)
 
Just want to add that there's other ways of describing people as entitled without calling them names. Henceforth, I don't want to see anymore of that and if it continues all parties involved will get in trouble.
