Informally known as the "European {{Sm|Mew2King}}", Ice is one of the top Fox mains in the world, and used to be one of the best Sheik and Marth mains in Europe. Between all of his characters, Ice is extremely smooth and consistent in his [[tech skill]], rarely missing inputs or SDing. As Sheik and Marth, Ice is known for creative and lethal punishes, solid movement, consistent edgeguards, and proficient [[tech chase]]s and [[chaingrab]]s. Ice's Sheik in particular was much more aggressive than those of other Sheik mains, as he frequently opted for dash attack and down tilt reads that would lead into highly damaging strings. As Fox, Ice retains his powerful punishes, edgeguarding, and general aggression, but also showcases his extremely high technical proficiency to the fullest extent, especially with [[shine]] and aerial pressure on the opponent's shield. He has also one of the best tech reactions in the game, as pointed out by {{Sm|TheCrimsonBlur}} at [[The Big House 6]] (he called Ice "The Best Techer in Smash").

Ice used to have a lackluster neutral game compared to other top players, and performed poorly against top professional players of lesser-played characters because he did not know how to properly punish them. For example, he was defeated twice by {{Sm|s0ft}}'s {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} at [[Apex 2014]], showing a lack of knowledge of how to properly punish [[Rest]] with Sheik. He also could not take a game from {{Sm|aMSa}}'s {{SSBM|Yoshi}} at [[Republic of Fighters 3]] due to his failure to combat Yoshi's egg camping and [[DI]] away from his combos. However, after picking up Fox and addressing various issues in his gameplay, including his matchup problems, these upsets have been minimized, shown by Ice defeating aMSa 2-1 in Grand Finals at a Xanadu event two years later.
However, though it has gotten better over time, Ice's [[neutral game]] is weaker than his punish game, which was most evident in dittos. His out of [[shield]] game is also rather weak; although he is proficient at shine and shield pressure, he fares poorly when such tools are used against him. Ice also used to perform poorly against top professional players of lesser-played characters because he did not know how to properly punish them, neutralizing his greatest strength (his punish game). For example, he was also defeated twice by {{Sm|s0ft}}'s {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} at [[Apex 2014]], showing a lack of knowledge of how to properly punish [[Rest]] with Sheik. He also could not take a game from {{Sm|aMSa}}'s {{SSBM|Yoshi}} at [[Republic of Fighters 3]] due to his failure to combat Yoshi's egg camping and [[DI]] away from his combos.
