First of all: SPOILER ALERT

Second: This is all my own opinion, and only that. I don't want to shove it up anyone's ass.

First the new neutral (except for D'Vorah, I don't think of them as evil) guys

D'Vorah: I said this before in other thread, but I like her as a character. I haven't played her a lot by now so won't talk about her play style. I think she (as almost every character) could be better developed story-wise though.

Kotal Kahn: I like playing Kotal Kahn. But story-wise I think he is just dumb, and I'm really disapointed by that. I approve the concept of an Outworld Emperor who is not trying to conquer other realms and constantly wage war on everything. Instead Kotal tries to keep the existing Outworld united against their enemies (which ones? before him Outworld was the ONLY invading realm). He looks badass, but he is also incredibly naive from my point of view.

Erron Black: As OP said, he is kind of secondary. Again, as Kotal Kahn, it looked so promising just for nothing in the end.

Ferra/Torr: If there's a character less developed (story-wise) that Kotal Khan, or even Erron Black, that's (those are?) Ferra/Torr, and I don't really enjoy his/her/their play style. In my opinion, worst new character(s) in the game. Also, refering to them is confusing as hell.

Now the new good guys

Kung Jin: In my opinion, from all the good guys, he is the worst developed. Although I'm neutral to his play style, he does nothing in story mode aside from disobeing, being conflictive and absolutely ignoring his revenant cousin Kung Lao when he had the chance to face him and try to help him somehow. Even if the player already knows that is impossible after Quan Chi's death. On sunny side, it's fun to a have a gay character.

Jacqui Briggs: I think Jacqui had potential, BUT from a strict design point of view, she is just a female version of her father ("Let's make Jax's daughter and name her with a female version of his name") Also her play style kinds of strongly ressembles her father's. I would have understood her as she is if Jax weren't a playable character, but he is (and does little more than beating Quan Chi in the Story Mode, thank you bye, see you next game Jax).

Cassie Cage: a well developed character. It's true nobody ever explains why she is leading the team, and I would have really thanked it to be told, in the game (not in a f***ing comic, even though I'm not sure if even the comics explain it). But I enjoyed her play style, although it still ressembles too much that of her parents. I don't care if she beats Shinnok, because that's somehow explained at the beginning of the Story Mode when Johnny turns invincible against the fallen god. I could argue against that thing though, because is kind of nonsense, but it's not really tied to her as it is also something about her dad and it's kind of punctual.

Takeda Takahasi: For me, the best of the eight new characters. A new Shirai Ryu ready to kick ass and make Scorpion care for something else than having tantrums at Sub-Zero for something he (nor his brother) did. Also, takeda uses a weapon new to the frachise: whips, and looks like a well developed character story wise, with all the backstory about his parents and being trained by Scorpion himself.
