He has both and , which can be used according to the spacing. is a high crush which works on whiff, launches the opponent on hit, does chip damage and has a followup. , and all work on whiff (so will their teleport's followups), which makes them really great anti-KNJ strings. followups ( and ) all work on whiff, which is a great thing to have off of a high crush. and everything that leads into that ender is a super activator, which can be really useful near the wall for great damage combos.

He has an easter egg string which is , makes him fall on the ground right after teleporting.
