Sparg0 is an Ultimate Pyra, Mythra, and Cloud player from Tijuana, Mexico. He is considered the best Aegis and Cloud player in the world, as well as one of the best players in the world following the end of the online era, being widely considered the second best player in the world after MkLeo in 2021. He is one of the most well-known prodigies in Smash, competing with and even taking sets off of top professionals at the age of 13. This, along with his heavy usage of sword characters, has given him comparisons to MkLeo's Smash 4 career. He is the youngest Ultimate player to win a major, winning Smash Ultimate Summit 4 at the age of 16. Sparg0 is currently ranked 1st on both the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7 and the Tijuana Power Rankings, 2nd on the Mexican Ultimate Power Rankings, OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse North America, and OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse, and S+ Tier on PGRUContenders North America alongside MkLeo and Tweek; he was also formerly ranked 2nd on the SoCal Ultimate Power Rankings.

In Smash 4, Sparg0 was also a Cloud player. He was ranked 31st on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v2 and has a win over MVD.

Playstyle

In all Smash games, Sparg0 is a methodical, yet aggressive player, using his movement, game plan, and solid fundamentals with the characters he plays. He is known for creating destructive bread and butters and ledgetrapping his opponents, often taking players' stocks very quickly. In addition, his Aegis and Cloud are known for their excellent spacing and jump callouts.
