'''Darc''' [[main character|mains]] [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]] and also plays [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)|Captain Falcon]], [[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]] and [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]]. He is an undeniably skilled player who rocketed to a high level of play in a short amount of time. Despite his great tournament record against the Atlantic North's best smashers, Darc is relatively unknown outside of New England (except for in Georgia). He regularly teams with his brother, [[Smasher:Dazwa|Dazwa]]. Contrary to popular belief, Darc and Tag$ are not real twins.
