[SPOILER] Everything about story mode. Pics, videos, discussion, etc.

But did we really need Jacqui?

So far she's only served the role of Cassie's childhood friend, which could be occupied by any other character, even a new one.
People might not like to hear this, but I wouldn't be surprised if NRS feel they need to fulfill a diversity quota with Cassie's team. It's also possible they just love Jax and wanted him to have a legacy, which is nicer to believe. Jacqui seems cool so far - if not her character, her very fast-paced gameplay.
 
I'm so confused, and I guess it's my own fault because I'm refusing to watch the video's/streams and just reading the spoilers to keep a little bit of a surprise for when I get the game. But am I right to believe that Tanya plays a bigger part in the story than some people who are on the main roster, yet she's only DLC? Also it sounds like D'vorah is the 'Tanya' of this game? So if D'vorah was never created, Tanya but be kicking some serious ass in MK X?
I don't think so. She jobs. She saves Kano's life, but that's really the only thing of importance I recall. Still more than a lot of characters do, like Kung Lao and Ermac.

I do believe she has potential if handled right, having not seen the story gameplay, but read the comics, I'm not sure what to think about her as a character just yet.

Her gameplay does seem fun actually and I might end up playing as her a lot, as she is a rushdown character like most of my mains.

About the reason behind her being there, I think it's more likely they just like Jax a lot, so far they've never gone through that path with any character just for the sake of diversity.
 
So did anyone notice that the Baraka/Mileena/D'Vorah/Kotal flashback said 'five years earlier'? That conflicts with the comic, if that is indeed what it said. Canon might be even more stupid now.

I imagine that was a mistake, given that they talk about the Netherrealm being a coming threat.
 
So when was the "Roster leak" wasn't it like in November? They couldn't of added any new characters in that time?
