In Smash 4
For Peach, Samsora overshoots defensive options to bait his opponent into hitting Peach, allowing Samsora to access his aggressive punish game. Samsora mixups his movement, allowing him to consistently escape the corner. Samsora utilises jump cancel fast fall to create mind games. Samsora rarely uses Peach's counter, Toad; but he utilises Toad for edgeguarding and anti-edgeguarding.
In Ultimate

- On April 19th, 2019, Samsora defeated ESAM 10-1 in a $500 money match at Pound 2019 that was later joked about on Twitter by both competitors.
- During the talent show for Smash Ultimate Summit 2, Samsora cosplayed as his main, Peach, while performing a catwalk. Viewers gave this new persona the name "Samantha."
