Playstyle
VoiD is defined through his technical and mechanical prowess, as well as his aggressiveness with all the characters he plays.

In Smash 4
VoiD is known for his optimal usage of perfect pivoting. He pioneered the technique when it was still in the grassroots, and incorporated it into being an essential part to 's combo game. He plays aggressively, pressuring the opponent using Sheik's needles and quick tilts to put them into a situation of where he can combo them or force them offstage. He is also very innovative and improvises quickly to take a hit as far as he can, often resulting in taking a stock or taking back a lead. VoiD also uses unorthodox options to catch the opponent off guard such as Sheik's down air or up air to drag his opponent into a tech chase scenario into a down smash. However, due to his aggressive playstyle and technical playstyle, if VoiD is not consistent in his inputs, he loses the neutral and can be overtaken by other players that have a stronger, more protected neutral. He is also susceptible to rage comebacks due to the weaknesses of his character.

In Ultimate
VoiD retains his aggressive and technical gameplan from Smash 4, making full usage of 's quick and powerful options. He raised the perception of Pichu in the metagame and also pioneered the combo game of the character. However, as the same with Sheik, he is susceptible to rage and strong kill options due to the light weight of Pichu. His extreme tech skill and usage of Sheik's excellent frame data allowed him to significantly improve Sheik’s standing in the metagame. VoiD complements his deft usage of her aggressive play with an oppressive neutral game and can often get a major lead early in the game. However, he sometimes struggles to take the last stock of a match because Sheik lacks simple kill options that are relatively non-committal.
