The Need Help Choosing Main/Secondary Character Discussion Thread

So I'm having a legit issue figuring out who I want to stick with. I'm literally torn 33/33/33 between these characters, but I only want to main one because that's how I like to play. I considered flipping coins or something but then I realized I'd be like "no wait" and keep reflipping and changing my mind.

These are the three I'm interested in. I made a pro-con list for each of them help pls:

Jacqui -

- she has a huge bandwagon of bitches who don’t even like her
- i don’t want to play full auto right now because everyone else is
- shotgun is really hard to use online
- i’m somewhat struggling with her fundamentally
- new york already has a solid jacqui player (cdjr)
i'm in the same boat with cassie. just wait for all the patches and dlc to come through then come back to the character seriously.

i voted goro cause i feel you would be the one to put him on the map but if you really don't care about him it'll be a struggle

When are you cutting off voting for the poll to see who you'll play for a month?

Also, go with Goro he needs some love. It is actually a pleasant surprise when I run into someone playing Goro online but so far it has only happened once.

Ya, bitches will end up dropping Jacqui maybe, but as of now you should try Raiden <3 just so we can get some hype Raiden matches.

Some of you probably don't know me on this site as I wasn't really around for Injustice....well idgaf.

I truthfully haven't had much time to delve into the game yet for various reasons and there are too many damn characters and variations I'd like to try out so I'm hoping you guys can solve this problem for me.

I'm looking for a strong defensive character, lame, zoning, whatever the case may be. Keep-away is probably the priority for me, so that comes first.

Can anyone make some recommendations? Much appreciated :)

Nightwolf Mourner
Cybernetic Kano, Flame Fist Liu Kang, Royal Storm Kitana, Full auto Jacqui, Summoner Quan Chi all come to mind. They're all pretty lame respectively so pick who you like the most.

Thanks boss :)

I've been hearing that Necromancer Shinnok isn't that good? I liked his move set but I've heard stuff about poor recovery and things on block etc.
 

Insuperable

My mom tells me I'm pretty
Ferra/Torr
Mileena
Raiden
Goro
Sonya
Kotal Kahn
D'Vorah

These seem to be the most underused imo. You can take Quan if you want hahah I'm rarely going to be competing, and I can just send you stuff I find
 
This is what i am looking for (if it exists)

ability to be insanely aggressive/pressure

extreme ability to do mix-ups

if possible, a teleport.

basically a super aggressive mixup specialist with..if possible, a teleport, but not required.

believe it or not subzero as much as i love him, feels slow. i may re-visit him when cryomancer gets buffs.
 
ive heard jax, tho ive also heard he has a hard time doing damage in midscreen. tho i like that hes a slightly different playstyle with having more grabs. kung lao i havent looked at much yet

That Don't Impress Me Much
Raiden, he has more diversity IMO, and has lots of costume options to keep you feeling fresh. Goro has a larger hit box so he will be a problem for you against certain match ups or super skilled characters. Jaqui I want to like really but I'm just not there yet. I would maybe play all 3 online and see who you do better with then go with that. Some characters I like and am good with but there button motions tire my hands quicker so I can't do things as fast.
