*'''THE Grappler.''' Rook's throws are monstrous and demand the opponent play around them carefully. His normal throw is extremely efficient, allowing him to deal a chunk of damage AND score a knockdown instead of having to choose between the two. His special throw is able to run over A, B, and C normals allowing him to force the opponent into slower more committal options. His signature super throw - Checkmate Buster - is the highest damage super in the game. | *'''THE Grappler.''' Rook's throws are monstrous and demand the opponent play around them carefully.

*'''Knockdown Vortex.''' The opponent cannot avoid being knocked down against Rook; his ability Earthquake, forces the issue. Once the opponent is knocked down, Rook's already solid neutral game plan evolves into a terrifying low risk, high reward mix-up. Worst of all, unlike most characters, Rook can knock an opponent down using both throws AND attacks - this means the opponent cannot guarantee a return to neutral by playing an attack. | *'''Knockdown Vortex.'''

*'''Rock Solid Defense''' Unlike many grappler characters, Rook has excellent defense options both in neutral and when he is knocked down. His armored pseudo-reversal Y is safe and can only be contested by a super or dodge. His normals and Z special throw have armor against A, B, and C normals meaning that they can often replace his normal low block, with higher reward on a good read. He has a safe on block, super reversal with S1 and his 15 speed S2 super throw can act as the ultimate call-out against an opponent's throw. Instead of a dodge he has a unique block move that guards high and low, in addition to allowing him to punish strikes with his normal throw - best of all, unlike a dodge, it can be used while knocked down! The cherry on top of all this is that he also has the highest health total in the game. | *'''Rock Solid Defense.'''

Rook has glacially slow attacks and will often need to rely on armored strikes or his Entangling Vines counter to deter the opponent from attacking. Fireballs in particular are an attack that beats almost all of his moves - he will have to snipe these out of play using a well placed A, Y, or S1. This aspect of his gameplay can also sometimes lead to Rook having to muscle through poor opening hands as he attempts to dig into his deck for answers. | ||
*'''High Gas Prices.''' | *'''High Gas Prices.''' Rook's most pressing weakness is resource management. Rook struggles to build meter with chain combos, and powering up for his expensive supers drains his hand. Employing his unique block costs extra cards, and exchanging for it back costs him more momentum. Rook's only way to naturally build his hand size is by blocking, which will allow other characters to run their offense on him. | ||

While it is possible to combo into Y, it is often better used a pseudo-reversal or a way to beat a fireball. Both of his supers cannot combo and he has no dodge to confirm into either of them. Much of Rook's high health total will need to be spent making big reads and losing combat when things don't work out. | ||
