Strategy

You generally want to get people down on the ground and follow up with when they stand up.
Since has super armor, it beats WUK attempts from the opponent. Use this to make the opponent fear doing WUK, and go for your high damaging super.
Don't be afraid to take some damage, hp is a resource so use it. beat a lot of other characters strings while setting up for okizeme.
Try to eat some chips whenever you have the chance, and try to not use up more chips than necessary. A Choji with a full stomach instills fear into his opponents.
