In game, Bahn is a hard hitting character who specializes in sudden power attacks, in where his attacks wind up for a frame or two before striking hard on the opponent. While these attacks deal great damage on both the health and armor of the opponent and can cause stagger on blocking opponents, reliance on these attacks can leave him predictable to opposition.
