Although I'm sure this has been asked a million times before.  I just want to some advice from people who know the game better than I.  I have been growing bored of using the same three characters. (Ryu, Ken, Sagat)  Because they're good beginner characters.  I want to venture away from those three and any other characters that are really similar, such as Akuma.  So if anyone could give any suggestions that'd be great.  Although I have to admit Ibuki and Dee Jay have kind of grown on me.

i'm not an expert with street fighter by any means but i know some new players who had a good time starting off as Juri. not only are her moves easy to do, but she's a really fun character to use. 

@AjayRaz 
Thanks for the advice, I'll prolly try her out in training soon.

Ryu and Juri are the correct answers.

I like Rose alot and I found her combos are among the easiest to do. She also dosen't have that many weaknesses and is pretty much all-around.

The first character that I used and enjoyed playing was Cody, but Ryu is probably the best answer.

E. Honda. He has an easy game plan to understand, good normals, and he just does random shit until he wins. Done.

Ryu is a good way to learn the basics, as he has a lot of tools for a lot of situations

So you don't want to play with beginner characters? 
I think you should just train with all of the characters until you find your favorite.

im a newb but i actually just picked everybody until i found one that was cool...if you pick a character like say Blanka cause he's easy but you're not really having fun why pick him..even if the character you choose isnt the easiest but you like him/her..
you'll have a ton of fun getting your ass kicked as you learn how to play...and they keep telling me just to play/go for it
with time an effort you'll get whoever you choose mastered..

I gravitated toward Ryu and M. Bison (Dictator), but for a beginner I'd definitely say Ryu. 

Everyone should try Balrog, he is really good and easy to use.

If you're comfortable with charging, try Guile. He has arguably the best projectile in the game and his just extremely solid overall.

The post already said that he's tired of using Ryu, Ken and Sagat... 
 
If you want to venture out to a different character, Cody and Ibuki are good choices. 
 
Cody has move motions similar to the shoto characters.  The only problem with Cody is that he doesn't have a good wakeup game. 
 
Ibuki is really a good character, but she's a tricky and risky fighter to use considering that she has moves that leaves her open when missed.  But she really has a good high and low attack mix ups.

I'd probably say Guile, Juri or Ryu/Ken.

Thanks for all the input.  I'll take all the suggestions into consideration.

The correct answers are Makoto, Gen and Seth. All those characters are super easy to use.

I would say Gouken.

If you're running into a wall with the characters you mentioned, try out some charge characters. I do the same thing, although in the opposite order. My main characters are Honda and Chun, so when I get bored of them, I pick up a non-charge character.

Ryu and Juri.

" The correct answers are Makoto, Gen and Seth. All those characters are super easy to use. "

Another vote for Honda. Hold your ground, press fierce/roundhouse, and hit your anti-airs.

Zangief has a lot of stamina and his hits inflict high stun damage. Use carefully though as he is a bit slower and his moves are completely different from the Ken style.

Dan. Trust me.

If you want to learn the basics, I'd recommend Balrog or Ryu. 
 
If you just wanna find someone easy to win with at a low level, try Bison or Honda.

I dont ever like answering this question. Its not about what characters are easy to use but its about what character interests you. Youll enjoy learning the game more if your playing a character that interests you.

Dudley

Ryu, nuff said. Not becuse he's easy but he is a good gate way with other characters even other shotos though strats vary..

Just use Honda and turbo away

I'm stubborn and stick with Cammy and Balrog.  Even though I'm pretty terrible, I can fairly often beat people with Balrog.

I'm not sure, but so far I have enjoyed Blanka, Juri, Adon, Cody, and El Fuerte. And the occasional Zangief.

Cody is a character that I(a beginner) tend to use a lot.

I've heard Honda should be good for starters.

That wont get you anywhere. "

I imagine Ryu is always a good choice, right? Right?

i am absolutely awful at this game since i have only been playing it for a couple of months. the characters i've had the most success with have been Chun Li, Seth, and Juri.

Then use Blanka and turbo away.  "

I haven't played Streetfighter much but I have found the most fun with Juri and Cody, but I do occasionally play Dudley.
