- Strike/Throw: Manon plays a consistent strike/throw game with good inevitability. Her Manège Doré command grab is rewarding to perform, while her strike option (2LK) links easily into a combo with good okizeme. Manon also has great range on the LP version of Manège, and can combine it with Drive Rush to swiftly grab you from a huge distance away.
- Strong Normals and Target Combos: Manon's long limbs give her solid range in the neutral. 5HP is a solid normal with a target combo follow up instantly pulls opponents into a strike/throw situation on hit. 5MP has a similar target combo on a 7f normal, while 2HP has an anti-air target combo that pulls the opponent out of the sky and places them right at the perfect range for a command grab.
- High Reward RPS: Manon has a number of rewarding callout options for situations that may normally cause her trouble. Renversé can be feinted to give Manon 13f of projectile invulnerability, while the light variant of Dégagé is a 16f advancing sweep that leaves opponents in a perfect oki situation for Manon.
- Medal Snowballing: While Manège Doré starts off as the lowest damaging command grab, landing it or Renversé earns Manon a medal. Each medal levels up the damage of both of those moves by a considerable amount and are notably retained between rounds. This makes Manon into a serious threat over the course of a match- even if she lost the first round, every medal she gains allows her to close out the following rounds faster.

- No Fireball: Manon has no projectile to speak of, requiring her to close the gap against the majority of the cast. While her options for getting around pokes and fireballs are rewarding, they still carry large risk and can open her up to huge punishes if they fail.
- Medal Snowballing: While Manon is perfectly capable of robbing matches at high medal levels, getting there can be a challenge. Manon must be prepared to sacrifice okizeme, pressure, and combo potential if she wishes to go down the route of building medals.
