Hmm...

Raphael got totally changed in 4. They gave a lot of his moves to Amy. I bet you'd like her new style.

Siegfried, despite *looking* beginner-friendly, actually takes a lot of mastery to use well, given all his different stances. He's a lot more complicated than he looks.

Kilik on the other hand is the beginner character; a lot of very easy high-low mix-ups and other annoying moves.

Voldo is scary in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing with him. I could never get into his style. He can be almost impossible to predict though in a skilled user's hands.

I also really like Mitsurugi. He has some brutal combos.
