Ok my tier list and thoughts on every character, which will also answer your other comment:
S-tier:
1. Mileena (she has 2 sai's, one straight with good knockback and one homing with weak knockback, so I think it's balanced imo)
A-tier:
2. Scorpion, with his airgrab he has some devious unbreakable setups that can combo into an huppercut if you cancel the airgrab into a waveland. Also I know his cpu really spams teleport punch a lot but the ai for the game is really a mess of a code and I honestly don't know why he does this sorry.
3. Liu Kang, I think his cooldowns are pretty short but it is coherent with identity as a rush down character.
B-tier:
4. Subzero, I honestly don't think he's bad because he has really good neutral but when you don't have your opponent in the corner his combos are not that good.
5. Raiden, by far the character with the most fun combos imo, but they mostly all start with an huppercut which can be difficult to land. He has pretty bad combo starters in general. Also his grab can be used for some unbreakable setups if you cancel into it from an heavy punch or something.
C-tier:
6. Kitana, by far the worst character imo. She's the first character I made and she's very simple and kind of outdated because of that. I think she can work if you play her really really defensive but it is a bit boring.
This is really fun but why are some of the characters lock
This is a game you play in your web browser meaning that most people don't want to beat the arcade mode just to get character that have no reason to be locked (also I'm not good at this game)
But the combos are AMAZING! I'll post some fun combos in the replys
Some of the combos are explained in the tutorial section (there are general tutorials and a specific tuto for each character).
If you get the opponent in the corner the combos can become even nastier. For example with raiden you can do huppercut into down special into hupper into forward special cancelled by a wavedash into again an other huppercut into a back special.
Also, combos with mileena can be almost infinite if you get them in the corner and have max ammos on your knifes (I think she's the best character, or at least the most difficult cpu to beat).
Subzero has a worse kombos than raiden but has way better defense as his ice flask can make him very hard to approach and any obvious attack can be countered by his down special and lead to a full combo (and he has a bit more hp).
I don't guarantee the game is really balanced though but its not an esports lol.
Well shao kahn is not functionnal at all as a playable character atm but I guess it would be a cool easter egg so I might do it (not guaranteeing anything though)
cause its the only one I found with good format online (which mostly means as a spritesheet which is mandatory for itch.io file number limit requirement), and I like the vibe of it even though I understand why most people would find the arcade sprites prettier.

NERF/BUFFS I WANT
Liu kang's Air and ground flying kick have their cool downs too short, make them longer
Raiden's grab need better damage for how hard it is to hit
Mileena needs better knock back on sai's
Subzero just needs better damage
Kitana just needs to be a different charater like there is no reason to pick kitana (from what I know)
scorpions CPU is just too annoying like I just moves around and teleport punch's.
Here are the best match ups for characters
(if you want any explanations please add a reply and all answer)
Raiden: scropion
Mileena: Raiden
Scorpion:Kitana
Liu Kang: Mileena
Kitana: Liu Kang
Subzero: (I honestly do not know for sure but maybe scorpion)
Might make a their list later

Raiden gotta few.
forward punch into forward kick into forward special
Also you got Uppercut into Down special into uppercut again into forward special
Thanks for the feedback!

Liu Kang is just weird
he doesn't have many super high damage KOMBOS from what I know but he just can do a short kombo of of everything.
Subzero is just Raiden mini
just play raiden
he is just better
Subzero has a worse kombos than raiden but has way better defense as his ice flask can make him very hard to approach and any obvious attack can be countered by his down special and lead to a full combo (and he has a bit more hp).
I don't guarantee the game is really balanced though but its not an esports lol.
Yes liu kang is intented to be the pixie character (kind of like sheik in smash) so he is very fast but doesn't do a lot of damage.
Ok you convinced me, I am gonna put a cheat code in the options to unlock all characters
Edit: Done!
kool
thank I just like to try kombos out to see if character are good
I still like unlockables so maybe make it so all the characters and unlocked by default but
if you beat the arcade game on normal or above you get shao Kahn!
Well shao kahn is not functionnal at all as a playable character atm but I guess it would be a cool easter egg so I might do it (not guaranteeing anything though)
I know but I like unlockables, just when it isn't half the roster
but if you can then I would be cool
also why did you pick sprites from mk2 SNES?
cause its the only one I found with good format online (which mostly means as a spritesheet which is mandatory for itch.io file number limit requirement), and I like the vibe of it even though I understand why most people would find the arcade sprites prettier.
