Shoto characters?

[Samer Sultan]

I'm new to guilty gear, are there any shoto characters that play similar to the SF series?

I guess that Sol and Ky could be considered shotos, they both have proyectiles and shoryuken type moves

Okay awesome, also does this game have a parry mechanic, or something similar to it?

There is the "Blitz shield" mechanic, although is rarely seen:

Sol Bad Guy for sure...Anyways, gg gameplay is more similar to Samurai Shadow.

Ky would be the closest thing. But he's not a shoto as he is more of a midrange fighter. So keep them within a fair distance. If you pick Sol, rush them. He's a gorilla

Both Sol and Ky have similar command moves reminescent to that of shotos. Ky is closer to shoto play in terms of playing the spacing game, footsies and having tools to keep people off him. Sol is a wee bit different because he's got more mobility and some moves with a risk/reward factor to it.
Sin is a third option as he also has similar command moves to the two. But he has a food gauge mechanic that you have to work around with.
