c.A and c.B are your good pokes. far stand D kicks high and can stop some jump in attacks, stand A and B are good pokes as well.
There is not a whole lot to say about Brian really he's a strong mid tier character and his new dm is a nice boost to his arsenal.
His As and Bs recover quickly and come out quick so use them to your advantage.
crouch C is ok, but I wouln't recommend using to anti-air as its slow and doesn't reach very high.
jump down C is a great move to use to apply pressure when on the offense, if you can master extra mode Brian you have the same hit infinite as extra kyo when he does dash hop down Cs
Jump b kicks high and its a pretty good air to air but it doesn't have the best priority so watch yourself.
Jump D is alright, can interuppted someone trying to jump if you can get in the air before them, but use it sparingly.
His .k rising shoulders are ok, you gotta be pretty confident to use them as anti-airs but they do work as a light combo ender if you don't want to have your opponent tossed away by Brian's chain throw after a crossover.
if you can control the pace of the matches and keep your opponent from gaining momentum then you will be fine.

- Jump C is still his one of his best normals. Huge cross up.
- IMO he needs to be played with Step (rather than Dash) to reach his full potential. f,f+ +Punch controls tons of space and does good block damage. Its also his strongest anti-Krauser move. He cannot f,f+ d+C in UM, so no infinite.
- The jump A string is best used for corner pressure after a knockdown because j.A has a pretty small hit box. Not that practical when trying to jockey for priority in mid-screen.
- IMO 1/3 of his game is landing random +B> juggle super. 1/3 of his game is zoning with his long ass limbs. 1/3 of his game is trying to land the jump C or air +C cross up.
A picture if worth a thousand word. A video, many many more. Here're a bunch of vids featuring a top Korean player who uses Brian.

I'm only 1/3 through the videos but I already picked up a few tips...
-Personally I always use j.d+A, j.d+C --> +P as much as I can as it is relatively safe if blocked (depending on height and of course short of getting Guard Cancel roll/CD). Of course you should mix it up and omit the +P or the j.D+C etc.
-I wanna point out (again?) that j.d+C has huge priority and a relatively large hitbox. The stuff you can beat out is pretty entertaining.
-Don't forget to to mix up his d+D and far C overhead for high/low games.
-Shut down all 'projectilers' (including HSKK DMs) with Brian's new DM.

Re: [UM] Brian
does anyone know the correct timing, window to to the dive bomb? d,u+P, after the shoulder breaker? because it seems that it has a specific window to do it even though he keeps the oponent up there for quite awhile.

Re: [UM] Brian
Has this changed from the timing from the original 98? Are you only practicing this on arcade?

Re: [UM] Brian
If you have 98UM, then it's really easy to practice this, use the macro mode to record the "combo" up to this point and then you can practice the last part.
If you watch the backbreaker, at least in 98, he squeezes them three times before throwing them off.
I normally spam and press + on the last squeeze.
If that doesn't work, try on the second squueze!

Re: [UM] Brian
spam or spamming means doing repeatedly very quickly, so in this case I would do, and then + on the last squeeze
