19. Jacqui Briggs

Speaking of Jacqui, besides the neat mention of her dating Kenshi's son, Takeda in her arcade ladder ending, Jacqui is every bit the powerhouse we'd expect from a daughter of Jax Briggs.

Like Cassie, she comes with very easily memorisable left/right punch combos and deployable gadgets keeping foes at bay or in the air for followups, but where Jacqui excels as a character is through MK 11's story. Her main role in the campaign semi-mimics that of Cassie and Johnny coming together last time around, fleshing out her personality by letting her hang with a younger, time-plucked version of father, Jax.

Not to mention, her arcade ending is a surprisingly emotional tear-jerker, centred on making one ultimate sacrifice for the greater good of saving older Jax's waning mental health. It's one hell of a swerve I didn't see coming, and made Jacqui a powerful character in-keeping with such a robust moveset.
