Pros	Cons
Maybe the most oppressive ground game in A3 next to Dhalsim Slide is ridiculously safe with a silly hurtbox b. FP has a ton of range and is incredibly difficult to whiff punish s. FP does a ton of guard damage b. MP is a short range but very high priority normal that can be used to buffer fierce scrapes Lots of great anti-air options Good air grab that does full damage on tech Gets great oki off successful slides Daikyo burning is great for punishes and off cross-ups, which can result in massive damage/corner carry Strike invincible tengu glitch gives him a legitimate reversal in certain situations Backroll allows him to escape many pressure and oki setups after being knocked down The single longest activate range in the entire game. Can whiff punish just about anything with activates. Don't ever throw a fireball at him. Can force guard crush situations with activate off blocked jump-ins even mid-screen Has untechable infinite setups off all his customs Jump jab is high priority and difficult to anti-air Hop grab can be used to partially escape cross-ups	Block strings aren't the best as his jabs don't have a ton of frame adv on block Scrapes are generally not great on block and should be used sparingly No meterless reversal option in a lot of situations Very tall/fat hurtbox, making him susceptible to a lot of standing combos and guard crush pressure Normals are awkward and take some getting used to No DP option-selects means he has to be more careful about when he activates c. FP must be done fairly early as anti-air, or it gets beat out by high priority jump-ins Infinite requires very good crouch cancel execution and a re-activation at 50%
