Fly Amanita has been well-known to not be proficient at [[wobbling]] (although he will refuse to enter majors that ban wobbling out of principle, notably not attending [[The Big House 4]]). Instead he typically prefers handoff combos. His [[Sopo]] is also known to be one of the best in the world, famously clutching out a win against {{Sm|Silent Wolf}} at [[Kings of Cali 3]].
Fly Amanita has been well-known to not be proficient at [[wobbling]], which somewhat limits his punishes at the highest level. This is because in a tournament setting, he typically cannot react to landing a grab quickly enough and will mess up the wobble timing, whereas he can continue his punish more organically with hand-off combos, which are ironically much more difficult technically than wobbling. However, he will refuse to enter majors that ban wobbling out of principle, notably not attending [[The Big House 4]].
 
To compensate for this, Fly Amanita developed strong fundamentals and a unique, unusual approach to the Ice Climbers' otherwise lackluster [[neutral game]]. At the beginning of his career, he built his game plan around completely shutting down his opponent's options, but has since developed a more well-rounded playstyle<ref name="Hi, this is Fly Amanita.
