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 Has a unique hop command grab that can be decent for catching more passive players Daikyo burning one of the most damaging punishes in the game with amazing 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 if you're not Charlie. 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 Big damage off successful crouch cancel juggles thanks to scrapes Wake-up 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 Moves that hop over lows can blow up his slide, so be careful No DP option-selects means he has to be more careful about when he activates Command grab strings are very risky against V-ISM characters. Use sparingly c. FP must be done fairly early as anti-air, or it gets beat out by high priority jump-ins Infinite requires very tight crouch cancel execution and a re-activation string at 50% Setup window for untechable infinite only has a few frames for error and can result in big punishes if you screw it up
