Well here goes a brain dump, seeing as I can't really think of anything that I think would be good to share.

My style, yeah... To be honest, I've always had a basis to my play-style, moving off of the basic comeback stance, using wrists and shoulders more than anything else to move around, building momentum and just keeping on hounding my opponent. So I'd have to say that watching Xhiba has influenced how I go about setting up comebacks, moving limbs in the most bizarre fashion, just to get that fraction closer to the ground. When it comes to those comebacks, mixing relax all, and hold all, comes in handy, considering how the limbs generally fall to the floor when relax, allowing for that slight downward transition, which lets me hit the ground sooner. The other style which interested me was that of Deprav... The fluidity and continued attacking was something which I craved, and so this is what I studied. From watching replays of Dep, and playing him, I was able to focus on the slight movements he made (in order to gain stability), along with the 'running' which he does. So yeah... From watching him play, I've adopted a degree of his style and techniques.

All that said (I'm sure there's more that I can add, mind you), different circumstances call for different styles, different ways of doing things. So I try to adjust to what I see coming, and set up best for the foreseen movements.

I'm not sure what I was doing right, or what others were doing wrong, but this morning I seemed to be able to continually cb, cb, attack, cb, etc, with not too much difficulty. I'm sure it's just the punnet of yoghurt which I was eating whilst playing, but only the future can provide me with that information.

Ah yes, I also like spinning in the basic comeback stance, usually done by only extending a wrist and raising a shoulder.
