You can never go wrong with EX Kyo/EX Iori/Mr Karate.
Andy, for some reason, has basically vanished off the face of the earth - which makes no sense when people are picking Mai and Robert over him. Andy is probably about as close to the "Ryu" of KOFXIII as one can get. Very, very, simple combos, even more so than Shen, super easy confirms into safe blockstring or solid combos, runs pretty fast, has a DP and a fireball you can run behind.
Billy is a brilliant pick - very low execution (he doesn't need his rapid cancels, really), godly normals. His corner juggles will teach you how to delay your combo inputs, and his overall game will show you the importance of playing with normals over other moves.
Don't feel like you need to stick with what you see in videos. Flocker of note, plays Mai/Athena/Yuri.
Thanks for the Andy recommendation. His execution seems fairly simple, and I was able to pick some combos up in his trials fairly quickly which is more than I can say for Takuma and some of Kula's which have just been really frustrating :P
I'm thinking I might drop Kula and pick up someone else like Shen or Billy, and stay with Takuma because he is my favorite (obv) and to challenge myself a bit more.
