Disclaimer: I am not posting every variation for every character because A: I don't know anything about some characters and B since I don't know it would be irresponsible of me to label mus I have little to no clue about their nuances or meta in any capacity and C because that's just way too long a list and I detest clutter.
Guide: Most of the match ups Goro wins here are based on the premise that he is able to not only zone or counter zone these characters effectively(Drunken Master, Lackey for example), but also he likely has footsies that rival or or outright better than theirs. A lot of this list is also very vulnerable to oki pressure due to weaker risk/reward being a thing (Cassie/Cyrax for example).
Characters he tends to go 5-5 with are characters with comparable offense to him (Jax and Kung Lao), that both have comparatively equal zoning checks and balances on each other (Tanya and Erron Black) or characters he has really effective oki, pressure and/or counter zoning against (Kitana) or comparable footsies and neutral (Scorpion).
Losing match ups usually have these things in common: Superior footsie tools (Takeda and Shinnok for example), they out zone or counterzone and out space him (Predator for example).
