'''Kola''', formerly known as '''Salt One''', is a Smasher from Duluth, [[Georgia]], considered one of the best ''Smash'' players from Georgia. His career began in {{forwiiu}}, initially playing {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} before switching to {{SSB4|Cloud}}. He came to prominence in the final year of ''Smash 4'', notably defeating {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} at {{Trn|CEO 2018}} and {{Sm|Locus}} at {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2018}}. He became better known for his performances in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he was initially a {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Cloud}} co-main before playing primiarly Roy in the post-pandemic metagame. He is considered the greatest Roy player of all time and is the only Roy player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|CEO 2021}} and {{Trn|Luminosity Invitational 2: Back to School}}. In addition, he was considered one of the best Cloud players in the early metagame and one of the best American players in 2021 and 2022. 

Outside of ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Kola has also competed in ''[[Melee]]'', playing {{SSBM|Fox}}. He has notably defeated {{Sm|JCAM}} at [https://www.start.gg/tournament/pre-local-luminosity-makes-moves-miami-2024/details the Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2024 pre-local] and {{Sm|Umarth}} at [https://www.start.gg/tournament/guildhouse-fighters-148-street-fighter-6-and-melee-weekly/details Guildhouse Fighters 148].

==Playstyle==
===In ''Smash 4''===
In ''Smash 4'', Kola employs a seek and punish playstyle, looking for opportunities to gain [[Limit]]. He looks for whiff punishes and tests his opponents approaches with [[Cross Slash]]. He prefers to stay in the air to call out jumps with up aerial. Although he plays from hit to hit, when he does land a move, his punish game is strong, seeking to push his advantage in any opening his opponent gives him.

In addition, Kola was also known for his footstool combos with Cloud and has made a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyckj3ITLKQ video] about them.

===In ''Ultimate''===
Kola is a very aggressive player who utilizes {{SSBU|Roy}}’s fast movement, powerful attacks, and quick frame data, and when combined with his proficient parry and shield game, makes his Roy a formidable opponent in close quarter melee combat. He also utilizes jabs, aerials, and tilts quite efficiently, creating opportunities for custom combos, pushing his opponents offstage quickly. Adept game knowledge, quick reactions, and the ability to put himself in position advantages make Kola's Roy an imposing presence on and offstage.

When using Cloud, Kola's play-style does not change much. However, what is different is a faster pace and incorporation of Blade Beam and forward aerial into the neutral. Cross Slash is used to test the opponent's reactions on shield. Due to Cloud's change in Limit when ported to ''Ultimate'', he is a lot more liberal with using Blade Beam or Cross Slash to call out an opponent's dash or to protect his own landings. His Cloud has a particular trait of constantly looking to catch his opponent's double jump and to use Blade Beam to pressure opponents on the ledge.

Kola's Snake sets up [[Hand Grenade]]s and [[C4]] before quickly looking for a burst option with dash attack. His ability to seek out jumps is also shown in his Snake, which he uses neutral aerial and back aerial to stuff opponent's approaches. He also looks to poke with down tilt and to test opponent's reactions with forward tilt and grenade, similar to Cloud. Although Snake is considered to be a zoner, Kola is willing to approach and box with Snake's grounded options, making great use of grenades, tilts, and dash attacks to create openings for him to abuse.

Kola is also well-known for his ability to "channel his anger", especially when dealt against an unfavorable or frustrating matchup. While most other players would falter or play worse when tilted, Kola tends to play even better, quickening the pace of the game and having an even stronger advantage state. This has led to him being able to take wins in situations or matchups he was not expected to. However, he is also often prone to [[self-destruct]]ing when in this state, sometimes costing him the game.
