Looking for a second main to try out... Currently maining Cloud.

Any suggestions for characters to research and try out? I've already tried Ike (he was fine, just slow which is expected) and Chrom, who were recommended to me by some friends I play with frequently. I tried to pick up Ryu, but I never bothered to learn the inputs (and when I did I was inconsistent with them in competitive play). I'll pretty much try any character you recommend.

Ideally you would want a character that covers your current main's bad match ups or someone of a different play style. My suggestion to you would probably be a Spacie(Wolf-Fox-Falco in order of best to worst). They're overall pretty solid in this game and are definitely a different play style than your current main.
