What I mean is I don't wanna fall into any easy flowchart gimmicks(which it seems is very easy to do with her because of her meterless cancels). Do that and the moment I pick up a more "honest" character I'd be getting bodied.

Why do yall seem upset? If you main Jaqui I'm not attacking your character, calm down. I'm talking about her meterless string cancels. I mentioned that already. It easy to just rely on that stuff to scrub people out since most online wouldnt have labbed it. I don't want to get into the habit of relying on it without fully understanding the game's neutral. This is the same reason I'm not enjoying Jax. Because his entire neutral game revolves around 2 pokes.
This isn't rocket science.
And MK neutral is learning what's safe and what isn't. Jacqui's meta revolves around those cancels to make her stuff safe so she can keep the opponent guessing. That's not scrubbing people out, that's playing Jacqui to her strengths.
Youre right and I realize that. But like I said. I don't want to get by on that because my opponents don't know how to counter it. I want to learn to play a solid neutral first and then get deeper into the character meta after. I just know if I pick up a character like Jaqui right now I'll focus on her cancels and it'll only get me so far.
Not sure what I said that made me sound upset. I'm just confused as to why someone thinks Jacqui is cheap. She doesn't have half the nonsense some other characters have like Geras, Sonya, EB, Scorpion and SZ do. She's just a strong character.
If you're on the main menu, open options and it is the second option down under Gameplay.

That was directed more at the other response. And I don't think she's cheap but her cancels are something that will simply overwhelm anyone who doesnt understand how they work as well as lead to me using fake setups because they work. I guess scrub out and gimmick weren't the correct descriptors.
So uh... Apparently Perfection is Key is supposed to be hard? I was so worried after all the horror stories and then I beat it first try without even using any of the konsumables I equipped.
Gonna be going to my first MK11 tourney tomorrow! Hoping I don't get my ass kicked too hard.

Ayyy that's awesome, best of luck to you. Have fun!
Who will you be playing as do you think?
I suppose that's one benefit of playing on the Switch. Random assholes can't send you messages if they're salty.
I imagine the Krypt is one of the most demanding aspects of the game, requiring a lot out of the system RAM in particular. If that's the case, then the Switch is definitely under-equipped.
Ahahahaha. This coming from someone playing Scorpion.
I'm like 30 hours in the game. Did the story, beat lot of towers, cleaned up almost all the gold chest in the krypt but I feel like I'm barely cracking the surface in unlocking cosmetics. ATM I'm maining Sub Zero so I've been cracking at his character tower and opened his heart chest but only have unlocked 3-4 new kosmetics for each of his equipments and maybe a half dozen costumes. I only got one additional fight intro but no outros. Also only have maybe more than a dozen augments for him too.
I don't understand this grind. What should I be doing if I want to get everything for one or two characters? What's the fastest way to grind for the currencies too?

The first thing you gotta do is throw away the idea that you really need everything for a given character right away. 'Cause it ain't happening. lol
There's a lot of good stuff in the Soul Caches in the Krypt. If you want to focus on souls, check to see if you have any augments that increase the soul payout. Also, check for any tower konsumables that double the rewards for a given tower, like the Dragon Egg. Following that, you have to target special towers with decent soul rewards.
Other than that, take souped up Noob AI and let in run on endless for you, while you do other stuff. You should be getting 15 souls per match, more with augments.
You can also craft souls at the krypt forge. It's like Lost Soul Essence x2 + Order doohickey. lol
And then, work on acquiring the head of a character to put on a spike across from the Warrior Shrine. That's definitely give you an intro/outro for a given character. Kill a character 25 times to get one.
Wait
Who is wind and who is heart between kotal and Cassie
Should have had Kitana
I've got a strong feelimg we're stuck with this shitshow. I want to keep playing but the performance is so off putting
Geras is earth (with a Tremor assist) , Liu is fire (with the fire bursting from the ground), Cassie is Wind (with a totem assist), Frost is Water (with Rain assist) and Kotal is Heart (with a heart getting thrown onto the stage that steals health from you)
I'm at 340 Krpyt chests opened, including the secret areas and a lot of the hidden chests. I don't understand how there could be another 200+, is that including resetting them?
Yep. Wish there was an option to turn it off.

Linka (wind) was a blonde female character in Captain Planet...given to a blonde female character in MK.
Man after labbing Raiden's Raijin variation it seems completely useless save for 1 move. I dont know what NRS was thinking with some of these variations and knowing them it will take until MK11XL for half of them to become "viable." It's shit like this that makes me wish they would drop Variations and focus on a character's single moveset.
In Raijin, his db4 is a slow super punishable low that can be amplified, but you cant combo of the amplify...
He loses teleport which is huge and they give him Electric Burst...but what is that move even for? It can't be amplified and has okay pushback but other than that its mostly useless.
The only great thing about the variation is the Discharge move that lets you punish anything slower than -4. It gives restand for a combo opportunity but only in the corner and to even use it you had to have blocked 3 attacks.
Might just cut my losses and play Thunder Wave while I wait till who knows when for NRS to make meaningful adjustments.

Wheeler was red head and they gave Liu kang fire
Frost is blue unlike the brunette water girl
Kotal looks nothing like Ma Ti
Only thing Geras has common with earth guy is that they're both black
Not saying that they look 100% the part or just the hair, but more of a: 3 guys, 2 gals...with some similarities.
For example, Johnny Cage would've been a better Wheeler as an "all-american" but he had nothing about fire.
Cassie at leasts has some acrobatics "like the wind" and is blonde, so ... done! Next?! Frost has ties to water, is female and asian... water!
Just saying is not as random, but could've been better. Like in Injustice 2 this events are just quirky/fun tease-things not 100% based on a source.
Thanks! Gonna go with Baraka, got the most experience with him and I don't drop his combos. :P
I would pick kitana but honestly we're going too deep for this let's go back to complaining about rng because skarlet maskless still eludes me
It's more about the assists.
Geras has Tremor's, a literal rock falling from the sky.
Frost's has Hydro, a wave of water rushing in from the side.
Cassie has a wind totem, which fires a gust of wind that blows you away from the totem or switches directions and pushes you towards the totem.
Kotal's has a literal heart that drops in and restores/steals health.
and Liu Kang's is literally fire bursting out from the ground.
YES!
Though the heads are not very detailed on Xbox/PS4 neither.
So when scaled down, they look simpler on Switch.

I am really enjoying playing Cetrion. She has some fun strings and a few ways to link combos together.
And her skins actually look different unlike some characters *cough* Kung Lao *cough*
