Above Average. Brent can formulate plans effectively to get what he wants, like when he designed a plan to take over Seoul, he almost never goes into a battle without preparing for it. Brent is a functional leader, can give fruitful advice and speeches to his fellow classmates.
Genius. A master at Boxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Judo, and Muay Thai. Brent has been shown to be vastly more skilled than everybody around him. As shown in his fight with Jarvis and Davis even though the twins ganged up on him he still managed to out skill the two of them while holding back and it is stated that Brent is someone that Jarvis could not beat in the first place. Brent demonstrates keen observational skills and strategic thinking in battles, carefully hanging back waiting for the opponent to make a move. Brent improved the defensive part of style, incorporating blocks, dodges and grapples. He is able to very easily dodge and counter people at superhuman speeds, as shown in his first encounter with Isaac, he is able to make a "seemingly impossible counter" at a distance Eli thought was impossible. He is able to deceive his opponents into thinking that his fighting style is purely defensive, like in his fight with Smith Moon, he was able to trick Smith to go on the offense, where he would then rile up Smith only to defeated him in a single blow. More skilled than Owen, who is a genius in terms of fight IQ. Can actively deploy countermeasures against his opponents fighting style, as seen when he was fighting Mateo, when the former switch from Krav Maga to Judo, Brent was able to shift his fighting style to Taekwondo to counteract Mateo. Brent is able effectively use pressure points against opponents, as shown when he invaded KG High, he was capable of taking down multiple opponents by kicking them in clean on their chin or hitting them directly on their foot, knowing that the top of the foot is a vital spot which causes maximum pain. Brent is an amazing acrobat, capable of dodging and evading attacks at great speeds against Mateo, He is skilled enough to bring down the latter with one move. He and Eli are stated to not even be human. Brent is able to adapt to opponents fighting styles, by adjusting to their weaknesses, as seen in his fight with Davis he was able to defeat the latter by improving on his Judo style to grapple with Davis and take him out with one fell swoop. In his finale fight with Eli, he took away Eli's ability to attack by increasing and decreasing his speed, leaving no openings in his style. All of Brent's moves are calculated to expend the least amount of energy possible as shown in his finale fight with Eli, Eli was forced to use big movements to dodge Brents increase in speed, his opponents usually don't realize that they are making these big movements and was stated that "Even if you read Brent's pattern, with those big movements your chances decrease and you eventually lose." Brent's fighting style is one that is very tricky to predict, as seen in his fight with Eli, who tends to analyze his opponents, could not read Brent's fighting style.
