Question What are the character groups?

So you know how you hear that Noob is a less effective version of Freddy or that Nightwolf is a rent-a-center Jax? I want to see a complete list of the characters grouped like this. I don't mean which is better, we have 1000 of those threads, just the play style groups. I thought about doing my own first, but honestly there are a few characters I have no idea how to place. So give it a shot, name the groups whatever you want, zoners, rush down, turtles, leprechauns, most likely to marry their high school sweetheart, whatever you want.

Galloping Ghost Arcade
Wannabe Johnny Cage = Rain
Failing at life = sheeva, jade, kano
Gods Among US = Kabal
Zoners = Kabal, Kenshi, Freddy, Noob, Ermac, Sindel
Counter-Zoners = Smoke, Reptile, Sektor
Rush = Kabal, JC, Sonya, Luis Kang,
Good turtle characters = Kabal, Smoke, Noob, Kenshi, Raiden, Kitana
Megaton Punch - Cyrax, Smoke, Quan Chi (I've actually heard that Cyrax is like a better version of quan chi, and to and extent its true.)
Historically downplayed: KABAL, Raiden, Smoke, Reptile, Kitana, Sonya

I don't play Runescape
I thought it was something like


Rushdown: Sonya, Jax, Cage, Lao
Zoner: Noob, Smoke, Kitana, Kenshi, Freddy, Sindel, Stryker, Kano, Kabal, Shang
Juggler: Reptile, Rain, Sektor, Liu
Mix Up: Scorpion, Mileena, Baraka, Quan
Counter: Sub-zero, Ermac, Jade, CSZ, Nightwolf, Raiden, Sheeva, Kratos

Excluding: Skarlet, Cyrax since I don't have a clue.
And of course everyone can perform in each category, but those were their main categories or something like that. I don't know, I kind of forget.
 
The gimped Johnny Cage:------------------------ Cyber Sub-Zero.
Shin Liu Kang:--------------------------------------- Kabal.
Nightwolf on steroids:------------------------------ Kratos.
Jax's bottom-tier counterpart:-------------------- Kano.
Noob and Scorpion's combination:------------- Freddy.
Ed Boon's reincarnation:-------------------------- Quan Chi.
I ain't mad, but I bet you're jelly (Mileena) ----- Skarlet.

That's all I got right now.
