Secret, better known as SDX for most of his competitive career, was a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Mewtwo player from Buffalo, New York. Though active prior, he became one of the game's biggest rising starts towards the end of competitive Smash 4, alongside Zackray. His breakout event took place at Get On My Level 2018 where he placed 9th, however this performance was overshadowed a month later after Secret placed 7th at 2GG: Hyrule Saga, his first top 8 at a supermajor, let alone major. He placed at or around the top 8 at most other events he attended for the rest of the year, including winning the superregional Canada Cup 2018. With these performances, many considered him one of the best Mewtwo players, if not the best, in the world in 2018, and despite his relatively short tenure in competitive play compared to other players, he was ranked rather high on the PGR 100, at 45th.

Secret was active in the early months of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where he played Mewtwo. However, he chose to go on hiatus after Frostbite 2019 after expressing a lack of interest in Ultimate, opting to mostly attend local events for the rest of his tournament career and making only a handful of out-of-region appearances where he primarily played Joker. Despite his early hiatus, he was considered the best Mewtwo player in the early metagame, with results that have been unmatched by most other Mewtwo players since then, and was still ranked in the "Area 51" position on the Spring 2019 PGRU and 92nd on the OrionRank 2019.

Trivia

  • Secret is the youngest smasher to be ranked on a seasonal PGR ranking, being a few months younger than the next youngest, CaptainZack.
  • As a joke, European players in the Twitch chat for Canada Cup 2018 cheered for Secret by calling him "Piero", the real name of the best Mewtwo main in Italy.
