I can answer one of these questions. Sol lost his Dustloop in Guilty Gear XX Slash, it was never released in America, so that may be why you're confused. He gained the Sidewinder Loop in Accent Core though. The fact that I'm a Robo-Ky main and can't answer your second question saddens me.
How is the Soul Caliber community there anyway and where are the locations for competitive Soul Caliber here in the U.S? The only games that I know that are competitive for the series are 2 & 4.
Yeah, I think the only reason I like Juri is looks (Sharingan ftw lolz) and the fact she had easier executions, XD.
I just considered the stance to just be Rule of Cool than anything else. Most of the characters (particuarly Sagat) have a reasonable stance.
I said most. T. Hawk is not one of them. You have the shotos (save for Dan), the Chinese characters, Cammy, and Guile with at least somewhat realistic stances that I can think of off of the top of my head.
AFAIK, you can't safe jump Ryu's and Ken's reversal DP. Empty jump, yeah, but not safe jump with a meaty.

Well that's pretty helpful. Guess I'll try practicing safe jumping on them and try to get the timing down.
IIRC, T. Hawk doesn't have a specific fighting style, he's just a really buff 8 foot tall Native American.
Considering it appears to be less than 10 people in the UK, I guess that it won't be too hard for the USA to have a better scene.
Then what's the best one you seen then in your opinion?
Another AT in brawl that no one will use. Nothing new here
I highly doubt that. This allows you to stop MK. This is a major discovery.
lol you can do that in every fighting game
So? You can play defensively in a lot of games. Have you ever seen MvC2 Santhrax dittos? The first 10 seconds or so of that is Storm running away to build meter. People can still play that game aggressively, as evidenced by the fact that there are typically 3 or more MSP teams in the top8 of every major. Even in BlazBlue, one of the most aggressive current-gen fighting games, there are a lot of characters who turtle and zone a lot.
People don't gripe about how defensive Brawl is just because running away is a viable strategy, they gripe about it because it's the ONLY viable strategy. Brawl doesn't have half the potential to be an aggressive game as Melee does. Even now when Melee is campier than ever, it's still a game that can reward aggressive play. Brawl has almost never done this, due to inherent qualities the system has that reward defensive play and punish aggression. Aside from the Japanese and very early in Brawl's lifetime, I haven't seen aggressive playstyles that have been consistently successful at a very high level of play, whereas with Melee there have been plenty, namely Falcon players. Falcon as a character is pretty much a testament to Melee rewarding aggression, which is more than I can say for Brawl. The best offensive character in Brawl is Metaknight, who is also one of the best defensive characters. None of the other characters in Brawl really stand out as being good for aggression, and even then they'd likely be better played defensively anyway.
I'm pretty sure a majority of the regulars in this thread don't play Brawl anymore. I think Shimazu might, and I think Lythium, kr3wman, and the Canadians do because their BlazBlue scene is intertwined with their Smash scene. That's about it though. I think everyone else either plays Melee or doesn't play Smash.
Then this says something about the core design elements common in both games, or rather what they both lack.
Don't worry about Hadouken spamming. IMO, it's not really spamming. If you aren't getting punished for them and you're using them correctly, then you're zoning with them. Remember that using specials like Hadoukens can build meter too.
It's a different kind of hard. Learning each character isn't as difficult since there are less buttons, similar and easy to chain combos, and it just has an overall easier learning curve.
