I've been lurking for quite some time mainly just looking through information, looking for/at videos, etc. Right now I don't know how much time I'll be able to put into actually playing any games due to work (always tend to get busy between October-December. You'd think I was working in retail), but I do look forward to learning GGXXAC+R (I know I'm a bit late on this one, but I don't mind), GGXrd and BBCPE. Hopefully I can find some way to squeeze in some form of time to play these games before the year is out ( but thinking January-ish for when I'd actually start getting more free time), but in the meantime I spend a lot of time watching match videos of the characters I'm looking to play.
I am coming from Street Fighter (namely 3rd Strike, although, SSF4 did get me back into the genre) and Dudley was/is my character. I like the idea of being just getting in somebody's face and making them scared to hit the wrong button, and then I like his stylish combos as well. And to top it off his standing Fierce/towards Fierce hits hard enough to make me feel it (at least in USF4). Not exactly sure whose like that since from what I've seen of both BB and GG there's a lot more freedom, but for GGXXACR+ I got my eyes on Sol, Order Sol and Johnny (I like damage and swag combos). GGXrd so far is Sol but when the new one is released will probably be Sol and Johnny. BBCPE, I don't have it narrowed down yet. I like Hazama, Jin, Azrael, and Terumi. I'm also liking what I see in Naoto (?) as well.
How much time do people spend watching videos and actually practicing? My problem when I played Street Fighter was I wasn't able to balance the 2 (I watched everything in huge chunks). I think for my approach here will probably be watch 1 or 2 videos and then take something and go to training mode.
