Best patch version of each character

MK1 is the best MK period.
Don't buy in to the downplay. He was in the top 5 conversation when the game came out.
Fair game. But as it stands now this late into the game if he went untouched would he be top 5 now? Just asking not being a dick or anything.

Hard to say with how far a lot of the other characters came. Could've been possible top 10.

how come?
Well, she did get a lot of nice new features in her latest version, like the faster 1, d1, and 4. All the other stuff like the new combos and F2U2 strings and MB Ground Pound are all gimmickey, flashy BS that did not help her in her problem areas. Stanky leg saw some improvements with combo possibility from a raw SL, but despite the pleas from the majority of the community to give the move a more consistent command, it has been left the same and can get you killed for trying it in the neutral under pressure, or cause you to drop significant damage for dropping it in a combo.

Lost the ability to get meterless damage off the overhead. B2~DB3, DF2 is no longer consistent on characters due to an unmentioned blast radius reduction on Low Rocket, this combo does not work on bigs at all anymore [and certain random characters] and is now range specific and inconsistent on all other characters.

B2~BF2, run 12~BF4 meterless combo is now inconsistent on females, it was not before. And... No more throwing out B2~BF2 anyway due to it being suicide without Vanilla's built in OS.

Used to be able to throw out B2~MBDB2 and get a full combo on hit but save the meter on block with the built in OS. Now you get a terrible follow up on block for using a bar, when other characters get plus 8 while remaining toe to toe with their opponent and they have more options and better range than Jacqui for spending that meter.

B33~DB3 without the OS, can be simply jabbed into full combo punish in a gap between B33 and DB3 due to that blast radius reduction I mentioned earlier. But, B33 can be hit confirmed at least. Still terrible start up and range for B33.

Probably some other things I'm overlooking, but just woke up and need coffee.

A normal speed D4 would of helped this character more than any other "improvements/nerfs" that she received, but that would have more people using the character, and we don't want that...

The only true infinite corner combo in the game
you have the infinite, but she also has her shit normals.

Best version is either current version or the 6/23/15 version.

6/23/15 version can jail with her ex glaive but the current version has a better throw and better frame advantage on a few strings.
