*Weapon Mastery (Trained in the use of weapons intensively as part of his drills to become stronger, becoming specialized with knives)
Attack Potency: Street level+, possibly higher at his peak (Is a legend of Busan and one of their greatest fighters, having never lost a fight in public. Shin noted that, even without realising his potential, Young still forced Jin-Tae to go serious on him[Castle #42], and he only got far stronger from thereon; Broke an arcade machine with a kick, even after just waking up from being knocked out[Castle #43], heavily shook a heavy punching bag with a kick[Castle #45], could break a man's heel with a single kick[Castle #49] and broke a stone ashtray over Seung-Gyu's head[Castle #51]; Even when much younger and weaker than from his first appearance on the series, he considered easy to knock out even hardened criminals with his still developing martial art[Castle #46]; Near to his peak on this key and after training constantly, he was stated to have gone beyond the old Busan's guard master at their prime[Castle #77])
Speed: Peak Human in movement speed, Superhuman in combat and reaction speed (Is abnormally quick and agile for a fighter of his class; Even at the earliest point in the series, he was already faster than the Busan old guard at their peak, who were stated to be faster than anyone's fist in a fight[Castle #46]; Can generally keep up with the likes of a non-serious Seo Jin-Tae)
Lifting Strength: Athletic Human (Raises and throws a stool with his foot[Castle #41] and should be roughly comparable to most characters on his level, although he is portrayed as, at best, average in raw physical strength, if not weak and depending more of his agility)
Striking Strength: Street level+
Durability: Street level+, possibly higher at his peak (Takes blows from people stronger than he is quite constantly, with Shin noting that he is used to fighting people stronger than he is; While injured, he could tank getting smashed into an arcade machine by Jin-Tae with enough strength to break it[Castle #42]. Could still stand, albeit he was heavily injured and almost knocked out, after having taken a full-powered baseball hit to the back of the neck by surprise[Castle #45]; Even when still recuperating, he could take slams from the likes of Seung-Gyu well, one of which threw Young through a thick wooden table[Castle #51])
Stamina: Peak Human (Can still fight when injured for long periods of time; Still ran, fought and performed difficult acrobatic stunts with an injured heel and after just taking a full-powered blow that had almost instantly knocked him out[Castle #45])
Range: Standard melee range
Standard Equipment: Nothing, and while he can arm himself when needed, he favours an unarmed approach to fights
Standard Tactics: Pyo Young is an extremely agile fighter, who is willing to use every single of his martial and environmental capabilities to disable a foe. He generally opens up with feints or by using the environment to surprise his foes, and from thereon, utterly dominate them with sheer agility and skill.
Intelligence: At least Average. Pyo Young is one of the most talented fighters in the series, with raw potential that can eventually lead to him becoming comparable to the likes of Oh Do-Hwa and Hide, and he is a natural genius at it, developing an entire martial system just from observation, simulation and experimentation in a short timeframe, and continuously develops in this regard. Has shown as being knowledgeable of Korea's underworld, capable of acting and a reasonable leader, but otherwise seems of average intellect.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses
==Feats==
Hide/Show
*Acrobatics: Pyo Young's most distinctive feature on his method of fighting is his extremely agile method of fighting, born from his natural agility[Castle #77], with pirouettes, acrobatics and extreme fluidity being all key parts of his movement[Castle #42]. He can use arcade machines as platforms to launch kicks from[Castle #42]. Even with an injured heel, he could juke between multiple opponents and run up a wall to land behind a man who blocked his path[Castle #45]. Can pirouette over foes while injured to knee them in the face[Castle #47]. As he trained over the series, he grew to be much more skilled, throwing full-powered kicks even when balancing only from his fingertips, and managed to pirouette over two men at the same time, and in mid-air, throw two simultaneous kicks at the two of them, knocking them down, and still readjusting himself so he would fall on his feet[Castle #77].
*Information Analysis: Pyo Yong, as with most fighters of the series, can generally infer one's skills, capabilities and strength just by looking at them. It is said that he has an eye of talent, managing to recognize a man's strength by how they step, breathe and move, and can recognize skill gaps[Castle #59].
*Martial Arts: Pyo Young is an exceptional martial artist who has developed his own martial style, based on the Taekwondo he observed the men of Busan's old guard training in, and his own natural agility and street smarts[Castle #46], and is described as a genius of fighting[Castle #49]. His fighting is praised by Jin-Tae, who notes that at the same time it is flawed, it isn't, with perfect footwork and movement pattern that creates several openings, but also heavily punishing any attempt to take them by his sheer fluidity of movement[Castle #42], and while his movements are not perfect, he is fully aware of it and shields those weaknesses the best he can[Castle #48]. He can twist his feet in mid-strike to make small adjustments to both attack and defense, and Shin notes that he is used to fighting people stronger than he is[Castle #42].
**Defensive: Young knows how to employ his skills defensively to their maximum effectiveness, even managing to parry several knife blows with his bare hands[Castle #52].
**Environment Usage: Young knows how to expertly use the environment to his advantage. Used an arcade machine as a lever to throw powerful kicks; He throws his own shoe at Jin-Tae's face in a kick to distract him[Castle #42]. In a quick sequence of movements, Young uses a sharp fragment from a broken table to stab Seung-Gyu, throws a kick in a breakdancing position, grabs an ashtray, throws its contents on Seung-Gyu's face and immediately after breaks said ashtray on his head[Castle #51].
