Peacock is a zoning character whose goal is to fill the screen with garbage and not let the opponent close in on her. With all her projectiles and runaway tools she can slowly chip away at the opponent's health and build lots of meter in the process. While certainly more comfortable farther away from her opponent, her damage output on a clean confirm is phenomenal when she does get up close and personal.
- Projectile zoning: Peacock's projectile moves all work in synergy with each other and can force the opponent to maneuver around them, or suffer lengthy block stuns from full screen. Her 5HP is a fireball, and can cancel into a special move projectile. Her George bomb specials can also cancel into each other. Cycling through her projectiles through 5HP xx special, 5HP xx another special quickly lets her get control of the entire screen.
- Item Drop: (214P) drops a projectile from the top of the screen, which can be timed to be released when the button is released. With its tracking, fast startup on release, and large hitbox at Level 2, it can beat out many approach options and force characters to block. Using the M version well can allow Peacock to approach others in midrange distances despite her stubby normal attacks. Switching between far zoning and held item pressure allows Peacock to play in various approaches at will, making her quite deadly. She can also use it to setup powerful 50/50 reset vortexes from certain assists midcombo.
- Movement: On top of her zoning tools, she is also tricky to hit because of her movement options. Her backdash and air backdash move her backwards quite quickly, and her teleports let her escape should she get a bit uncomfortable at close range.
