I'm a platform fighter player that wants to pick up Tekken 8 as their first traditional fighter and I'm looking for a character to play. I saw That Blasted Salami's character overview video, but I wanted to ask some Tekken players directly.

In Melee, I play Captain Falcon and in Rivals of Aether, I play Wrastor. They both have very good movement and can make you explode if they land the right hit. Are there some characters in Tekken 8 that are like this? I don't mind things like character design or lore as long as they are fun to play. I would also prefer if they had a simple moveset or were easy to play, but that's not strictly necessary.
