According to a press release from the original, Kong was physically stronger and wanted to keep the battle at close range while Godzilla preferred to keep a distance and use his projectile advantage. (They also threw in an electricity power-up for Kong.)

Going into this version, I don't know what the advantages are beyond the obvious. Since Kong blocks the fiery breath in the trailer, maybe they're going with the idea that Godzilla's gonna find it futile to try it again.
