Weird posts in this thread...
You said want a character that has decent range and speed, is not too hard to play at first but offers some complexity later on?
To me, it screams Leixia.
Forget Xiba, once you've learned all his moves you might as well masturbate with the staff and the result will be the same. You get butchered by anyone good until you learn to play like a little girl. You butcher everyone else no matter how bad you play.
Forget about Ivy being decent at first, unless you're fighting against players who don't know anything about her and are unwilling to learn.
Leixia has speed and range. Her tools are strong, her mixups are actually valid and varied, and her combos are very simple and easy. Once you reach a higher level of play, you can start getting wiser about purposely using the built-in defensive properties of her attacks as well as her delays and cancels. This is depth/complexity on demand for you.
