"Strength isn't everything"
Just throwing out a vote for the games best strings or normals into specials in particular cases.
Think about the overall purpose.
Sub Zero
- Quick start up, good hit box, good anti air, easy to hit confirm, 100% safe on block at max range.
Kung Lao -
- 7 Frame start up, - on block, +5 on hit, hit confirm into spin (Stance specific), hit box on is large, can always add the overhead with 
+, opens other pressure after just
Cage -
- 9 frame, mid, travels, 0 on block, random advantage on crouch block, opens all other pressure, can obvious follow with 
, frame trap option.
Kitana - - Massive hit box, OTG's, hit confirmable into 
Fan cancel, spaces out on block, can chain cutter, quick start up, excellent footsie tool.
Cyrax - - 0 on block, 9 frame start up, slight push back, can add Chest saw on block, hit confirm into Net or net on hit, massive hit box on the last , can choose to use on the last hit for 0 frames block, or fish for a command grab after just , or even repeat the string.
Rain - Round House - Massive hit box, 10 retarded frames on start up, safe on block, RH cancellable, 41% damage combo in open space, 50%+ with 
at hand.
Sonya Blade
MS - 12 frame low, massive range, +1 on block, cancellable into cartwheel.
Sektor - Low Starter, 0 on block, quick start up, leads to massive damage, 0 on block as , can threat a on block to punish an opponents block string.
Reptile - - o on block, can stagger any hit of the string into another string, can chain invisibility for -3 on block and counter bait pokes, special cancellable, leads to big damage on hit, mind games on block.
Kabal - - Good range, good start up, leads to 50/50 or dash cancel, full combo on hit, +2 on block from NDC, leads to other pressure.
Raiden - - Good range, stagger able on block into other strings, weird hit box, seems to crush allot of pokes, hit confirmable into for full combo, forces the guess game of teleport/block/full string afterwards.
Lui Kang - - on block, travels, mid hitting, can add 3rd hit with , all cancellable into low fireball, can bait pokes on block, or continue extra pressure.
Sorry to anyone who thinks I left out any particular string or character, but I feel these are the best strings, and you will notice that not one of them depend on a JIP.
