The first lesson of any fighting game is "pick a top tier" or at least someone who you think you will be the strongest with
The reason is simple: it is not your responsibility to balance the game. Pick a shit character and you will lose, feel bad about yourself, and hate fighting games. They will say they play for "fun" but there is no fun in constantly losing while also doing more effort than the rest
Street fighter 6 is very very balanced relatively speaking, but not at the beginner level, and wasting time learning combos or motion imputs while your rivals are learning how to actually play real the game is the equivalent of just playing OSU instead
