Definitely Pyrrha or Patroklos, not Mitsurugi though -_-. He's too "easy to use & easy to win". At a low level he can give you a false sense of skill. At a higher level it doesn't matter as much however, but if you're learning the game, you want to actually feel like any wins you get were earned in a way. Pyrrha and Patroklos lay the foundation for gameplay much better without Mitsu's bullshit.

If you are still learning the basics I would highly recommend Pyrrha, Mitsurugi, and Patroklos.

However, it's entirely up to what the OP wants. If she wants someone like Mitsu, let her use him. Anyone can say *insert character* is easy to win with and takes no skill, but that's not what a 8wayrunner should be saying, comrades.

We don't wanna break out all the stuff to confuse the OP, we want to let every OP make a decision, stick to it, and support them. Even if it means helping them learn a character we hate, we have to keep our opinions limited. That's precisely why I don't suggest something unless they commit to a decision.

Your enthusiasm to help is duly noted though. =)

Hello, Missanthropy.

Good news is that it seems like you're not the only person to get SCV for X-mas. That means you're way more likely to run into more new people to play with than we've had in the last six months or so. That may help the learning curve not feel so steep.

If the op likes playing siegfried thats all that matters. Play him!

I think siegfried makes a good beginner character because you can play him to a certain lvl without doing any of his JF's and it certainly is beneficial if you have to think about what you are doing in terms of learning the game.

Main who you enjoy the most, however as someone said above you might want to start with an easier character like pat, pyrrha, or Rugi (ignore that easy win low skill crap). In the end it's your choice who you play though :)
