NewPlayer-Looking for character

One of my favorites is Patroklos. Pretty fluid attacks and he is a decent character.
Another one I would recommend, is Cervantes. He is an aggressive character but he is not to hard of a character to learn.
If you are looking for a challenge, Alpha Patroklos or Maxi is the way to go. A Pat due to his JF attacks and his 2 stances, one that involves his JF Twister (214 3aB I think), and Maxi since he has a numerous amount of stances to memorize.

As Party Wolf said, Siegfried is a good beginner's character due to his simplicity and good damage. Mitsurugi is similar in these aspects also, it might be wise to check him out as well.
 
Welcome to 8WR.
If you've completed Legendary Souls mode, I can suggest learning Algol (even as a secondary). If you simplify his movepool & combos he can be an easy character to start out with, however he has some more advanced setups should you choose to get more serious with the game in the future. Here is a quick help list to start you off:
  • Good Lows: (2K/ 1K >quick pokes)(11K >spacing poke)(2B+K or 2B+KB >heavy low)
  • Good Verticals: (BB/ 6B+K/ 66B/ 1B/ 44B/ 22B)
  • Good Horizontals: (AA/ 66A/ 4A/ 22A)
  • Pressure: (Throws*Lows >get past guard)(6BBB >for the bubble)(66B/22B >pressure on block)
  • Easy Punishment: (Block anything punishable > punish with 4BA, if it doesn't work try AA)
Easy Combos: (normal hit)
  • 1A, 2K (close range only)
  • 4BA, (delay) 1A
  • FC 8B, 2B
  • WR B, 66B
  • any Bubble that causes a knockdown, 1A (range dependent)
  • BT A+B, BT 2K
  • 4B+K ("attack throw" against backstep), 2A+B, 66B
  • 66B, 2B
  • 22B, 2A+B, 66B
  • 44B, 66B+K
  • RUN K, 2B
  • QI B, 2B
  • 4BA, (near wall or edge, delay) 3BB
  • 66B, (near wall or edge) 3BB
  • RUN K, (near wall or edge) 3BB
  • QI B, (near wall or edge) 3BB
Easy Combos: (counter hit)
  • CH 6AAB, BT A+B
  • CH 1B, 2A+B, 66B
Easy Combos: (edge*meter combos)
  • 3B BE, QI B, 2B
  • 3B BE, QI B, (near wall or edge) 3BB
  • FC 8B BE, 1A (not actually a combo but a good enough tech trap anyway)
  • 66B BE, 4BA
  • Critical Edge (first part), 4BA, (delay) 1A
If there's anything else you'd like to know feel free to PM on here, if you'd like to talk I'm on XBL but again PM me on here first. Good Luck with whatever character you decide to pick.

Oh, nice. Just asking because he sort of fits your description (except for good lows). But he's quite hard to use.

That last part can't be understated though, particularly for a beginner.

I would say Pyrrha is probably in line with what Protector is looking for, though I may have a bias towards thinking of that as an Alexandra family job.
