She's fine as a character... maybe needs some tweaking, but nobody ever entertains that notion and just boots her with some half-baked excuse just to add someone new to Cassie's team. Here's a thought: just add a new member to Cassie's team - which has no reason to limit itself to four members - and leave Jacqui where she is. people tend to not like bad, shallow characters. shocking, I know. Not even counting blandness.

And @Dynamo, she is much like Hsu Hao. A random, bland, bad designed character who follow any order and don't have a personality. As much as I don't like the new SF, Jacqui is surely the worst of all bad apples. and before anyone says "just give her another chance"/"they can make her better in the next game", NRS has made it very clear that they don't roll like that. when a character is received poorly, they're done. Not that a character has to be hated or disliked to be ignored in later games (Reiko and the like) or killed off (pretty much every fan-favorite from MK2 and 3 by this point).

... But yeah.
