Dark is known for being very fast, flashy, and nearly frame perfect, to the point of being considered one of the most technical players in the entire world.

His extreme consistency at wall [[infinite]]s, in particular, gave a strong case for many previously legal stages, such as [[Princess Peach's Castle]], to be universally banned in tournaments.
