You will be fine, once you pretty much master any fighting game whether it be a boxing sim or fighter. You pretty much know the basics of what needs to be done to fight your style. I am in and out. I like to throw hadukens to keep people away. I will be rated an offensive fighter completely.
I played a defensive zangief player and knew he was dead. He was trying to wait for people to attack and then quickly grab. It doesn't work if you go in with an air attack and then quickly jab on the ground. Air kick, 2 jabs on the ground and quickly back out. I almost had a perfect on the dude because he couldn't catch me.
