- Incredibly strong keepaway game, can easily beat out ki blasts with 236X and has many strong tools for long range play.
- Very powerful range with his normals and specials, while they can be a bit slow they are very easy to use due to the disjoints on his sword moves. His other normals are very strong as well.
- 214S/236S are very strong options for escaping pressure - while they can be beaten out easily, they are still strong for escaping pressure and whiff punishing them can be difficult.
- Can get SKD off of Superdash with j.2M. This gives Janemba a lot of momentum.
- 236HS automatically drags the opponent to the corner, giving Janemba a great way to start corner pressure.
- j.214x series allows for lots of oki setups.
- Teleports, through either autocombo or 214S/236S, allow Janemba to set up a lot of tricky mixups on snapped opponents, especially with the right assists.
- His assist can enable a lot of characters to get big damage or air Dragon Rush, due to it tracking.
- 22S forces opponents to stop using projectiles and assists during neutral, as on successful counter can either get a combo or start pressure
- One of the best intros in the game.
- Very big sword; swords are cool.

- Huge hitbox, allows him to get fuzzied very easily.
- Assist is very mediocre, and while it does open up a lot for characters to get SKD, it also is hard to use in pressure due to it being ki blasts and for general neutral play, making it exclusively a combo assist.
- Somewhat slow in terms of his moves, making it hard for him to get set up sometimes.
- His escape option in teleports, while good, can get a bit predictable after a while, and can easily be beaten out by superdash. This makes it hard for Janemba to get out of some pressure situations, as it can be very easy for the opponent to simply beat out his escape option and start it all over again.
- All teleports only use purple and pink squares instead of true gold and blue cube deconstruction, making him absolutely unplayable due to lack of accuracy.
- His tail comes out of the middle of his back.
