Who has limited wakeup tools and who has good wakeup tools in your opinion?

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
The knockdown game is real in any fighter and in PM we were talking a bit on wakeups and Quan and Erron Black talk came up. This got me wanting to hear more input from everyone on wakeup options.

What folk do you feel have good or limited wakeup options? What do you use to wakeup with those with limited options or vice versa? Lets whip out what we've experienced, or are currently labbing out so we can help each other figure out what our options are and what we should be doing or looking out for.

I'll only speak on Kitana since she is the only character I have a good amount of knowledge on. I would say that she falls under the "limited wakeup tools" group. She has a lot of moves that gain armor on wakeup, however they are all very negative on block. -15 on db2, -30 on bf3, -16 on db3 (Assassin), and -17 on db3 (Royal Storm). Although I don't play mournful I did check out its frame data and it does have moves that are much safer, but still punishable. -12 on db3 and -8 on df4.

What are they and what are they on block? Lets really put it out there so folks can get an idea of there options in the matchup both vs him and as him.
his sky drop teleport is the only one with armor. im not sure how negative it is on block but you could probably punish it with anything.
