So..

Regular Trechniques: Skully takes this. They are both speed-focused fighters, and as such are very concerned with closing in and getting in quick hits. Skully's moves pack more hits, meaning that each time he gets in close he's going to hit hard. Dragon Man's major advantage here is the dodge, but unless he spams it, it's not going to be too helpful.

Unique Techniques: Skully takes this one, too. He's got great synergy between his regulars and uniques, and Industria Elementum is scarily powerful, since it requires the opponent to be able to track two opponents at once.

Superior Techniques: Dragon Man takes this. He's got some devastatingly powerful moves in his arsenal, but what really breaks Skully's day is actually one of Dragon Man's Ultimate Techniques, Death Stopper. It cancels his Superior Technique.

Overall: I can see this going either way, but I think Dragon Man can take this. This really comes down to both his extremely powerful Superiors, as well as the fact that he can cancel Skully's own Superiors.

Now that that's through, here's the Gamer's Instinct portion:

Skully Romero Brooks: Skully is likely a high-tier character, but one that most new players will not use. Skully's style really focuses on controlling distance, and the element of randomness would put players off. Skully would be a common sight in the professional scene, however, since he can trip up opponents.

Dragon Man: Dragon Man is probably one of the characters new players will gravitate to, since he has an arsenal of easily spammable attacks and dodges. This character will likely be lamented as a "button masher's pick", but still be seen often in tournament play due to the ability to cancel an opponent's Superiors. He may be banned from casual tournaments, but not the pro scene. There may also be a sizable potion of gamers who would pick him purely for his Dragon motif.
