Summary: Well balanced character, easy to handle. Although he has a few zoning tools (essentially special moves), he’s better at melee range because of his command grab and good close normals which can lead to devastating combos. With some meter, he can indeed land very damaging combos so he’s good in 2nd position and even better as anchor.

Best Position: Mid or Anchor

Best Tools: 

• qcb A
• cl. A
• j. D

Moves

Normals

LP “Light Punch”

• Crouch : one of his fastest normals ; safe on block ; can chain
• Close : also one of his fastest normals ; very safe on block ; can chain ; special cancelable
• Far : better hop stopper ; safe on block
• Jump : nothing special

LK “Light Kick”

• Crouch : safe on block ; good for blockstrings and as combo starter (can chain)
• Close : safe on block ; special cancelable but not chainable and slowest than cl. A
• Far : hits low,  special cancelable, can be used as poke
• Jump : excellent range => use it as air to air move

HP “Heavy Punch”

• Crouch : good anti air which comes out really quickly, covers space above Rock
• Close : quite quick but slightly slowest than cl. A and unsafe => good combo starter, can be comboed into from a jump-in
• Far : good range but very unsafe => might whiff punish
• Jump : good range, comes out slower than j. D so can hit later

HK “Heavy Kick”

• Crouch : cancelable on whiff or hit
• Close : special cancelable but slow, not really useful
• Far : slow move but can be used as anti air against regular jumps : covers space in front of Rock
• Jump : best jump-in with a wide hitbox

HPHK

• Stand: nothing special
• Air: correct range
