They keep their fighting styles and habits as if they were in control. This is seen in the Kakashi vs Zabuza and Haku where Haku recreated gis death at the hamds of Kakashi even though it was wholly unnecissary. The recreation of Haku's death did happen completely under control of Kabuto, since he already erased their personalities and controlled them directly. Firstly, he didn't want to lose Zabuza in order to keep the mist jutsu active, so he sacrificed Haku instead. And, secondly, he tried to use the situation as an opportunity to kill Kakashi, so he made Zabuza slice through Haku's body the same way as Zabuza did it in the past.
