Rolex is known for his mastery of Project M Snake's punish game. He is very proficient at tech chases and chaingrabs with Snake's throws, and utilizes many creative KO setups and flashy combos with Snake, often ending with sticking a C4 on the opponent, using an up tilt or aerial to knock them close to the upper blast line, then detonating it.

However, Rolex has a less proficient punish game compared to other players of his caliber, as he frequently approaches with unsafe aerials and explosives, and relies on the opponent giving openings to him by falling into these moves. Additionally, he is susceptible to pressure as most are, and sometimes self-destructs at crucial moments (Prof vs Rolex mm). Rolex also has problems with adaptation, leading to his struggle against players with stronger cerebral games such as ZeRo, and Mew2King.
