For a player of his caliber, S2J has an excellent neutral game, using a combination of precise wave-dashing and dash-dancing to perfectly space his attacks. He is also one of the best defensive Falcons with good smash DI and mix-ups with Falcon's otherwise poor recovery. His punish game is notorious among smashers for being able to 0-death with just one combo, which is known as a Johnny Stock. He is also a read-heavy player. | For a player of his caliber, S2J has an excellent neutral game, using a combination of precise wave-dashing and dash-dancing to perfectly space his attacks.

While it has been recently getting better, he is still known to make poor decisions and sometimes even self-destructing by just attempting to edgeguard like at [[Apex 2015]] against {{Sm|PPMD}} and at [[The Big House 5]] against {{Sm|Abate}}. He also admitted that his mental game could get better if not for having a mindblock against {{Sm|Westballz}}, {{Sm|Lucky}}, and {{Sm|SFAT}}, 3 players who he frequently plays against and loses to for the most part. He said that this is the main reason that he hasn't reached the top 10 spots on the [[SSBMRank]], particularly the 7th-10th spots, which include Westballz, {{Sm|Axe}}, {{Sm|Shroomed}}, and {{Sm|Plup}}. Due to his read-heavy playstyle, he also relies on the player's habits, meaning he does better against other players he has played before. | ||
