- Cool Movement: A fast forward dash, a unique Drive Rush, and his Jus Cool sway series give Dee Jay unconventional but powerful movement and mix-ups.
- The Best Drive Rush: Dee Jay's Drive Rush is unique in that it has extremely fast acceleration. Dee Jay leans backwards as he drifts forward, making it difficult to visually keep track of him.
- Anti-Fireball Fireballs: Dee Jay can use the two hits of heavy Air Slasher to beat out most non-OD fireballs, giving him an edge against other fireball characters. His OD Heavy Slasher also launches the opponent, giving a damaging combo.
- Great Meter Usage: Dee Jay uses Drive Gauge amazingly well, with all of his Overdrive moves being useful for extending combos, zoning, anti-airing, defense or even just cashing out on damage. His aforementioned Drive Rush is also great at closing distance and can be rather difficult to check. Both his level 2 and 3 supers work well as reversals if Dee Jay doesn't have access to Drive Gauge during burnout, and all 3 of his supers are easy to use in combos for increasing his damage output

- Limited Poke Confirms: Dee Jay's longest pokes lack cancel opportunities, requiring him to be close up in order to confirm off of them.
- Weird Buttons: Many of Dee Jay's buttons lack the conventions and conveniences that others may have—particularly his cr.MK, that acts more like a sweep than a regular low medium poke.
- No Level 1 Reversal: Without a Level 1 Super reversal, Dee Jay can be put in very disadvantageous situations, especially during Burnout.
- Drop Prone: On top of being high execution, many of Dee Jay's confirms are deceptively range dependent. Extremely meticulous awareness of his ranges is required to not sacrifice damage for consistency in his combos.
