The Hopper's strength is in its highly accurate attacks. While their strength is average, they rely on hitting as much as possible to prevent the enemy from fighting back. Hoppers don't have any ranged attacks; their life is low, but they have above average speed. For Hopper himself, he has indeed trained himself to hit quick and his hands are like the wind. His Jump Blows happen in a second. The Fire Upper is an exclusive technique to Garu. Hopper has been training with the Garu to make his fist hit stronger, but he has been unable to perfect it because of his bloodline. In MR2, Draco Hoppers (Hopper/Dragon) and Fairy Hoppers (Hopper/Pixie) can learn Flame.
