Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Master Martial Artist: After transforming into a monster, Gouketsu seemed to have retained his martial arts prowess he had as a human when he won the first Super Fight tournament. This was evidenced in his fight against Bakuzan when he casually deflected the latter's attacks with a single arm. Moreover, Suiryu remarked that Gouketsu was more skilled than himself. After becoming a monster, Gouketsu seemed to toy with opponents that he held some respect towards, and gave glimpses of his true power, as was the case in his fights with Suiryu and Bakuzan. However, Gouketsu had also been shown to quickly finish fights when on a schedule, as he did not toy with Genos when he was headed toward the Super Fight arena.

Keen Perception: Gouketsu was able to identify the strength of others. He identified the transformed Bakuzan as a Dragon Level Threat, and noted that Suiryu could be an executive member of the Monster Association if he consumed a monster cell.
