Need help finding a character to play.

Hey guys, I just recently decided I was going to try and get good at soul calibur 5 after playing 3 and 4 but only casually with my friends and I was wondering if someone could tell me which character they think I would enjoy the most as i obviously want to focus on just one of them.

I'd say the most important thing is that they are at least decently fast and have some good range. I would also like a character that isn't too obscenely hard to learn but has some decent complexity to play once I get better. Thank you for any and all hope I receive.

I absolutely love Ivy.

I have mained her in every Soulcalibur game that I have played (Soulcalibur 2-5).
Go to her FAQ and General Discussion Thread here and ask some questions on where to begin, and we will point you in the right direction. She has great range, pretty easy to learn but when you get too good for her, you can try learning her command grab (Calamity Symphony). She has some fast moves but some are also quite slow.

And welcome to 8wayrun!

I would suggest Pyrrha or leixia. I mained their mommies in the previous games so it makes them easier to play in my opinion.

Fast with good range, I would say Xiba, Hilde, Ivy, and Raphael. No particular order. Mitsurugi and Cervantes also fall on the list, though Cervantes is a bit slower in my opinion.

Isn't too hard to learn might weed out Hilde, since she has charge moves that I won't be bothered with. But at least try her out, maybe you'd like her. Xiba and Ivy are good bets. You should experiment with all characters though! Best of luck =)
