While infamous at lower levels of play due to being an absolute blender of stance attacks, Hwoarang requires high levels of execution and a more measured approach to pressure at high level due to his best sources of plus frames often requiring highs or lows.

* Multilayered mix from his multiple stances means that Hwoarang is a veritable blender on offense
* Overwhelming offensive pressure with his multiple stances, rapid attacks, and plus on block transitions
* High damage output
* Can armor through pressure with an assortment of armor moves and strings
* Great whiff punishment, thanks to b+3 and Just Frame Sky Rocket
* Multiple tricky and effective strings to stack chip damage
* Fantastic jabs which lead into his stance pressure

* Hwoarang has relatively poor crush properties on his moves, particularly when it comes to high crush
* Learning the ins and outs of his four stances can be challenging
* Poor keepout
* Lacks decent high crush tools
* Vast moveset across four stances can be intimidating to learn
* Susceptible to being ducked with many key tools being highs
* Cannot block during his Flamingo and Right Flamingo stances, meaning his pressure is susceptible to rage arts
* Requires above average execution on tools like the Just Frame Skyrocket (JFSR) and his wavedash
* Requires high execution to access his best tools
* Somewhat lacking in defensive options
* Many key tools are highs, meaning his stance pressure runs the risk of being crushed.
