I don't think there are easy or hard characters, it's really all about footsies. But I'm sure there are characters that are 'easier' to play, ask @JBeezYBabY
The game does not have a huge execution barrier so I would just play who interests you. If you scroll to the bottom of the wiki page (read this for sure too) they have a page for each character giving a brief description amd run down of their moves amd gameplan.
Welp. Uncle JBeezY is specializing in Earthquake which is an under-used character but has the longest reaching normals in the game. He's kinda like the Dhalsim of SamSho except hes fat as fuck but hes beast as fuck. I also give tips on mechanics in the game the tutorial doesn't teach you. Check out my channel if ya like

Honestly, there's not really an archetype per-se. You can play each character quite differently. But the top 2 fan favorites most people consider the best are Genjuro and Tam Tam.
The game itself is not an archetype but each character is definitely designed to have their own archetype with specific game plans. Hanzo is the oki/mix up character, Wu the traditional zoner, galford the mobile zoner, EQ and Tam the big button turtle characters, Hao the fireball DP character, Genjuro the rushdown DP character, Darli is a a unique take on traditional grappler archetype with her sword, etc
To the most basic extent, yes. But this game allows you to freestyle how you want to play the character once you get a basic understanding of them
That is true but having set archetypes and still being able to express yourself through gameplay are 2 separate things. The characters have their gameplans but differently people play them differently to fit their personal playstyles. Our locals have 4 earthquakes for instance and some like to jump back a lot while others like to stay kore grounded, both viable but overall they are still playing the same gameplan of keeping his distance and controlling space with his buttonsTo the most basic extent, yes. But this game allows you to freestyle how you want to play the character once you get a basic understanding of them
Shiki is the hardest character to play with, she's probably bottom tier. You should check out Sonicsol's and Justin Wong's YT channels, they did great rundowns of each characters
It seems like jumping in this game is pretty good for characters like Earthquake and Darli, I jump constantly with her cause that J4 into D4 does hella damage.
Oh you mean her H attack
Yes jumping is good overall due to them being weapon jump ins and having no whiff recovery but like anything can still be blown up. Hanzo for instance can hit you with a heavy air to air then make you hold a 4 way mix up afterwards for 40% plus
That's so confusing, I think I'll stick with 1234 XD
Youll only confuse yourself more since any videos or discussion will use the numeric directions. Wiki page has a more detailed and easy to follow breakdown
Its confusing at first. TRUST I've been there. But just keep applying it to the attacks you do and it will become 2nd nature to you.
I was checking out Rooflemonger's video, and the two that definitely stood out to me as characters that I'd wanna try out are Genjuro and Darli. Charlotte also has my interest due to her poke game.
Also to note while unarmed, you can still parry but if successful you actually unarmed your opponent and kick them full screen away from their weapon putting you at a great advantage to take yours turning the tables on them.
Sounds like a fair plan. Back logs are the way to go when you are indecisive. I don't know how some people do it, but juggling multiple fighting games and being above average is very difficult. For me MK11 is on the back burner until the next major patch (probably after EVO).
