Usually, the easier the character, the more boring their combo's haha. My core team is Julia/Hwoarang. But there are way too many times where playing Hwoarang is unfairly hard... specifically against Ling/Miharu and Capo's (fastest Md that hits them out of AOP/RLX from a fair range is b+3...pffft). I've recently been making a Leo/Julia team to compensate for that. Leo is relatively simple. However, Leo's combo damage is really bad in the open. At the wall, she's insane. You can also try Chanel's team of Julia/Alisa. They do MAD damage. And I don't nearly know enough about Alisa to say what type of a character she is. But execution wise, I don't think she's that hard to play with.
Maybe he has enough self respect to not play a clone team
