Sonix is a smasher from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic who mains Sonic in both Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was initially known as a Wi-Fi Warrior, gaining notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic where he was considered one of the best players online. Following the return to offline competitive play, Sonix saw a meteoric rise to the top level, solidifying himself as the best Sonic player of all-time and becoming one of Ultimate's Four Horsemen. He is currently ranked 2nd on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7, 0 on the Dominican Republic Power Rankings, 9th on the OrionRank 2022 North America, and 4th on the LumiRank Mid-Year 2023.

In Smash 4, he is ranked 1st on the Dominican Republic Smash 4 Power Rankings and has defeated Kuma, as well as Cosmos, SDX, Twi, and IcyMist in online tournaments.

Playstyle

Sonix plays Sonic in a very optimal way, using the character’s speed and movement to make unpredictable and tricky approaches, making it hard for his opponent to punish him. Sonix also likes using Sonic’s normals for pressure and playing neutral. He is also willing to take his opponents to time when he has the stock lead or percentage lead.

However, Sonix tends to struggle when he doesn’t have the lead and also becomes impatient to take a stock and reset neutral. This results in him losing games and dropping sets. He also would frequently try to play aggressively when he's down a stock, allowing other players to camp him out too.
