* '''Highly Dynamic Pressure''': Multilayered mix from his multiple stances means that Hwoarang is a veritable blender on offense. Hwo's stance transitions often leave him fairly plus, making him extremely difficult to contest with jabs.
* Overwhelming offensive pressure with his multiple stances, rapid attacks, and plus on block transitions
* '''Neutral Bully''': Hwoarang has many armored moves and even some armored strings, allowing him to belligerently kick through neutral. His Just Frame Sky Rocket is also excellent and leads to huge damage.
* Can armor through pressure with an assortment of armor moves and strings
* '''Great Strings''': Hwoarang has many strong jabs which lead into his stance pressure. Hwoarang becomes very strong in Heat, as these excellent jabs allow him to build tons of white damage.
* Multiple tricky and effective strings to stack chip damage
* '''Scrub Killer''': Hwoarang is extremely good at defeating lower rank players thanks to his strong button-based pressure.

* '''Complex''': Hwoarang is constantly shifting between four different stances, making him difficult to learn.
* Learning the ins and outs of his four stances can be challenging
* '''High Roller''': Hworang has to take huge risk to continue his pressure and often has to make specific callouts to continue it where other characters can disengage safely.
* Lacks decent high crush tools
** '''Lacking High Crush''': Hwoarang has relatively poor crush properties on his moves, particularly when it comes to high crush.
* Susceptible to being ducked with many key tools being highs
** '''Duckable''': Many key tools are highs, meaning his stance pressure runs the risk of being crushed.
* Requires above average execution on tools like the Just Frame Skyrocket (JFSR) and his wavedash
* '''High Execution''': Many of Hwoarang's tools are multifaceted and demand a strong understanding of his moveset. As well, Hworang has some unique execution demands like Just Frame Skyrocket and his wave dash.
