- Great utility with most of the cast because of his level 1 giving many characters double super setups, which leads to great damage and possibly touch-of-deaths, or even snap setups
- Strong mixup and pressure game, many of his specials are safe on block and can lead to tricky resets, as well as being able to set up very long blockstrings that can be mixed up in various different ways
- Small frame can make it so certain combos do not work on him, and can help him avoid certain moves
- Assist can be used to extend certain combos, further adding to his utility
- Has incredible oki with 214H+S, allowing Gotenks to set up incredible pressure or reset scenarios for very little resources
- Amazing air-to-air options in moves such as j.5L, which basically drags the opponent down to the ground on hit very easily and allows you to either continue pressure or reset them with a Dragon Rush

- Assist is not great in neutral, as it's tracking is rather lackluster, which also may hurt it in certain blockstrings
- Buttons are a bit stubby, they can easily whiff or be beaten by something that is better.
- Two of his better pressure tools require meter, which can cause him to burn a lot of meter
