No one can block his soul bomb, but EVERYONE can dodge it by simply walking to the side.
If Julian keeps doing soul bomb whilst Firzen is firing his cannon continuously, it depends on the distance between Julian and Firzen.
1) If they are within close-mid range, Firzen will definitely lose as both soul bombs can run through Firzen, and may even explode on Firzen.
2) At mid-long range and further, the first soul bomb would take in a lot of damage, and then explode before it can reach Firzen, causing the soul bomb that is behind to take damage as well, making it easier to explode. Then none of the soul bombs can hit Firzen. Furthermore, the further the soul bomb travels, whether it hits any objects in the way or not, it will be easier and easier to destroy.
Obviously, a good Firzen wouldn't be so stupid to use Firzen Cannon against Julian in the first place, unless he is trying to shoot off some skull blast spamming (if Julian is directly infront of him) or if Julian's armor/defense is broken or if he is shooting the soul bombs at long distances. It'd a waste of mana.

Not a good argument.
It is true that everything has its advantages and disadvantages, but to compare whether one is indeed stronger than the other, we're ultimately comparing the overall ability rather than just on individual parts of the character.
For example, compare Julian and Bandit.
Now, you can straight away say that Julian is stronger right? Then I argue: "Bandit can do that cheap never-ending Jump Attack combo with the victim locked in a dance of pain state! Julian can't do that even with his skull blast, it'd make the victim fall down!" Yes, perhaps that is something that the Bandit can do while Julian can't, an advantage that Bandit has over Julian, but look at how Julian's other advantages outweigh Bandit's other advantages, as well as Julian's fewer or less glaring disadvantages compared to Bandit. How can you not say that Julian is stronger than Bandit?
However, in this case of Firzen and Julian, I have shown in my previous post that Julian and Firzen are very distinct characters, yet they have equal overall ability.
