| Strengths | • Good range on his attacks • Very powerful hitboxes, which often take priority over opponents' attacks • Decent horizontal movement in his recovery (Up Special) • Great grab game, allowing him to use cargo throws and get early KOs on opponents • Moves have high knockback for finishing stocks • Access to several spikes | • When using the command-input, Shryuken KOs foes very early • Super Armor on Down Special • Has a good projectile (neutral special and Shakunetsu Hadoken) • Will auto-turn to face 1 vs 1 opponents, making it easy to hit his moves • Extremely deadly combo game |
| Weaknesses | • Terrible vertical recovery • Struggles when getting comboed, and cannot deal with projectiles • Poor frame data, and lack of approach options | • Always faces the opponent, and thus cannot use Bair easily • Poor recovery makes him easy to edgeguard • Somewhat high execution (getting used to command inputs and auto-turn) • Focus Attack is easy to counter • Struggles to land when put in disadvantage |
