Do you think it's too late?

[Kymerial]

Well no matter the case, no need to be shy. Just ask and we'll help. We may come off a bit blunt, but rest assured we love to help people like you and your friend. Sure many people join the Soul series bandwagon late, but better late than never! Anyways, Pocky Yoshi says hello. Pleased to meet you.

Oh I've been playing for 2 years >.< My friend has played longer, but I have another friend who's thinking about starting.

Any execution you learn from any fighting game will help you in other games. So, it's only a waste if you put this down and then never play another fighter.

Well point him here. I'll welcome him too. I enjoy soul fiends.

Playing Guilty Gear for a year means I never have to practice execution for any other game ever. I don't even play GG anymore.

A more relevant example would be that fighters, despite surface system changes, don't really change that much from iteration to iteration. "Starting Fresh" is actually going to hurt your development because the basics are pretty much the same from SC game to SC game. Also, the meta-game for fighters isn't the same as the meta-game for an RTS or a CCG; the basics are always the basics, so "catching up" in that department is easier too; because high level fighting games are all mind-games and not "which bullshit tactic and I running".
