Archetype of each characters

[Lightning Dust]

I have little to absolutely zero knowledge of VTubers; my brothers are my only exposure.

I have not played much fighting games, but the ones I played have something standard amongst the genre. It is the archetypes.

The only character I've tried is Coco. Her main moveset seems like a grappler archetype. I am looking for a bruiser archetype but I cannot tell the difference between all the characters as easily.

I appreciate the help!

Aki - Zoner
Ayame - Agressive short-mid range
Botan - She has it all, zoner, combo heavy, awesome spacing
Coco - As you could tell - is a grappler
Fubuki - Shoto, balanced in her tools and moves
Korone - Same as Fubuki but even more aggressive
Sora - Zoner with lots of setplay
Suisei - Hazama of this game...nah, just kidding, people say she is a rushdown with lots of useful moves to break her opponent

Most of the terms are from the forums and Dustloop

Post above covers it pretty well but even then the archetypes feel looser in this game with Coco feeling more like a gimped grappler than anything else.

There will be a few new characters in the future so maybe something will fit your idea of a bruiser more.

It's honestly more like:

Aki: Long-range with close-range teleport mixups, high skill ceiling
Ayame: "Honest" rushdown frametrap character, strong defense and whiff punish game
Botan: Huge combo damage, otherwise does a little of everything (doesn't have "awesome spacing")
Coco: Rushdown grappler, surprisingly good normals, difficult to play
Fubuki: Does everything well, well-rounded
Korone: Similar to Fubuki, but trades her better neutral for high-risk, high damage offense
Sora: Setplay/trap zoner, very good normals
Suisei: Command grab mixup character with strong normals, think Sol or May
