'''Sol''' was a ''[[SSB4]]'' {{SSB4|Little Mac}} player from Florida, and is considered one of the best Little Mac players in the world. Sol was ranked in the #1 PR spot for Mac Nation from 2015-2017. Presently, he has renounced PR status on all local and national levels. He has taken tournament sets off of players such as {{Sm|Locus}}, {{Sm|Fatality}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, {{Sm|K9sbruce}}, {{Sm|saj}}, {{Sm|dyr}}, {{Sm|Ryo}}, {{Sm|Sinji}} and {{Sm|Salem}}.
'''Sol''' is a smasher who [[main]]s {{SSB4|Little Mac}} and is the most well known player to main the character. He is also widely considered the best Little Mac in the world even though {{forwiiu}} is the first ''Smash'' game he has played competitively. He is mentored by and trains with {{Sm|Ryo}} and sometimes {{Sm|Mew2King}}. He notably plays using a [[Wii U Pro Controller]] and has no secondaries. He has won [[tournament]] sets and [[money match]]es against notable players including {{sm|Anti}}, {{sm|Day}}, {{sm|Will}}, {{sm|MVD}}, and {{sm|Wizzrobe}}.  


Sol was the spearhead for the wired controller clause initiative, allowing for [[Wii U Pro Controller]]s, which he himself uses, to be utilised in tournament.

==Trivia==
*His knowledge of the {{uv|Punch-Out!!}} series transfers to the original games as well, having beaten ''{{s|wikipedia|Punch-Out!! (Wii)}}'' while blindfolded.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtJqMRO__uA|title=MVG Sol's AMAZING Blindfolded Contender Run (+Glass Joe Gag)}}</ref>
*He attended {{Trn|CEO 2015}} in his breakout debut on a week-old fractured spine.
*Prior to his professional career as a ''Smash 4'' player, Sol was a training boxer and a clinical surgical technologist.
*In 2019, Sol had decided to put ''Smash'' on hiatus, citing the drama of the community as his reason for stepping away. In February 2020, he attempted a return to the competitive scene by attending Gainesville Stock Exchange 118, one month before the [[COVID-19_pandemic_and_its_impact_on_competitive_Smash|COVID-19 quarantine]]. Currently, he has no interest in returning to ''Smash''.
**During his hiatus, he began playing ''{{s|wikipedia|Beat Saber}}'' as part of physical therapy for his spine. Within the first few months, he rapidly rose through the game's online rankings and at one point managed to place within the Top 100 players in the U.S. and one of the Top 300 players globally.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Solreth/status/1169440718869409794|title=Sol becomes Top 100 Beat Saber player in U.S.}}</ref>
