Defense minded characters?

Hey all.

I'm new to Soul Calibur, and would like to ask your opinions on character selection. I usually like to play turtle like characters with good block and whiff punishment and really enjoy working on my defense in practice mode - fuguring out counters and the like.

Which character/s would suit this best?

Thanks.
 
I was going to say Sophie too, she's the obvious choice. Look for characters with auto GI moves.

Maybe Azwell? Not sure about Geralt.
 
Raphael used to be :( not sure what it is now.
You have 46K or 46B lethal to punish whiffs
You have 22BB to launch or RO
You have 2 i10 poke to punish unsafes and break pressures
You have long range low pokes to provoke.
You have 4 different aGI/evades moves and lot of TC/TJ
You also have a pressure stance if you want to change

Not enough damage to keep up the defense maybe… and poor Oki and wakeup game.
