Ye Olde Soul Calibur II Tournament

[EdenMaster]

Then it's got one up on Soul Calibur II in that regard...

You're missing my point. No character has any advantage over another in SCII either. You just percieve so because of speed. Speed players are quicker than the slower ones, but do a lot less damage per hit. Power players can win a match with a few well-timed strikes and good blocking.

Speed or power is the trade-off you take wiht any character in any fighting game. Normally, the fast characters aren't strong and the slow characters are. This, in no way, is advantageous to the speed player. In skilled hands, a power player can obliterate the fastest button masher on earth.
