Goro has weak anti airs and bad mids. Those are very relevant weaknesses on this game. Jason's "getting zoned" weakness, is not. Not to mention you make this post assuming that Goro isn't really good as well. Goro is another "bro he's Jason cmon" character. He's not as good as Jason at this point obviously, but D tier? lolYou're not saying anything or constructing an argument, just throwing tools to the wind. I could do the same with Goro: fast pokes, high chip damage, safe armored launcher and a +10 on block armor poke, how could he not be top ten!?
I'm not saying have a strictly unreactable overhead and low mixup is key to being good, but you have to have something pretty darn good to make up for it, and Kitana seems to lack it hard. She does damage, but so does pretty much everyone with a few exceptions. The ways to get that damage inflicted is where her flaws appear to line up, and you can see most Kitana matches going down to the meta of throwing fans and doing nothing until it becomes apparent that her grounded offense is horrendous and consists of slow moves that are at least now thankfully safe on block, but don't leave her in good positions on block and leave her up close where she blows.
Air fans are not MK9 air fans. They are worse on whiff, far far worse on block, and now serve as her only sort of check on grounded opponents rather than an additional option. In a world where everyone thinks Goro and Leatherface are the dirt worst, how is Kitana not in this company? They too have good enough tools on paper and just kind of suck in comparison.
Granted, MKX low tiers are in a far better spot than MK9 low tiers. They can actually have good MU charts or relatively decent, but someone has to be low tier, and I do not see why she would not end up very low with the likes of Goro and Jason.
None of these characters are even low tier. They're just put in low tier to make the tier list look pretty. In reality only variations are low tier.
