Alvin is an SSB Captain Falcon and Pikachu co-main from Peru, and is considered one of the best Pikachu players in the world, alongside wario, SuPeRbOoMfAn, and Isai, and one of the best Captain Falcon players in the world, alongside SuPeRbOoMfAn, and is also the best Fox player in Peru. Alvin is ranked 2nd on the 64 League Rankings.
His first U.S. tournament was Super Smash Con 2016, where he disappointingly placed 13th. He lost against Prince and Kurabba, two Japanese Yoshi players who weren't considered tournament favorites.
After Smash Con 2016, however, he went on a winning streak in the U.S, placing 1st at SuperBoomed, GENESIS 4, Let's Go!, and CEO Dreamland. In this 4 tournaments he is 3-0 in sets against SuPeRbOoMfAn and only dropped 2 sets, one against Mariguas (total set count 4-1) and against BarkSanchez in the first set of Grand Finals at CEO Dreamland (in which he primarily sandbagged).
His winning streak ended at Super Smash Con 2017, his 6th US tournament. He was upset by LD and eliminated by Fukurou and finished 5th.
At Shine 2017 he was the favourite to win, but showed his weakness in the Yoshi matchup again. When he was behind in games he tried to counter-pick Mario against Wizzrobe which initially worked out in winner's finals but in the end he still lost in grand finals.
At GENESIS 5 he got his revenge against Fukurou but placed 2nd again behind SuPeRbOoMfAn who finished the last game with an infamous Falcon kick that led into an up-air combo.
On January 24th, 2018, he signed with Coalition Gaming.
