'''Aarvark''' is a retired ''[[SSB4]]'' {{SSB4|Villager}} player from Santa Monica, California, and was considered the best Villager player in the United States when he was active. Aarvark is ranked 14th on the [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings|SoCal All-Time Smash 4 Power Rankings]]. He has taken sets off of players such as {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{Sm|Rich Brown}}, {{Sm|Fatality}}, {{Sm|Tyrant}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|falln}}, and {{Sm|False}}. 

Aarvark is considered a major factor in the revitalisation of the SoCal ''SSB4'' scene, having influenced an influx of younger players into the community.

He used to regularly team with {{Sm|Elegant}} in [[Doubles]], and the pair was considered one of the best Doubles teams in the world.
