| Strengths | • Access to Banana, one of the best neutral tools (which can be thrown from shield) • Great mobility and frame data • Small size makes him hard to hit • Side Special makes recovering from ledge and landing much easier | • Excellent at zoning (→+B, ↓+B, B) • Fast movement • Can sometimes get out of combos or dodge attacks thanks to his small size • Very little lag to many of his attacks |
| Weaknesses | • Struggles to kill • Poor recovery | • Struggles against swordies and characters who can outrange him • Mediocre grab game (slow start-up and limited follow-ups) • Mediocre recovery (can be gimped or edge guarded) • Doesn't take stocks until very high percents |
