==Attributes==
Sol is a heavyweight swordfighter with fast movement speed on the ground and high gravity in the air. As a result, his moveset primarily focuses on rushing down to his opponents for massive damage with his sword, the Junkyard Dog. He can also wall jump. He has access to many variations of his special attacks by inputting various commands. He will always has face his opponent during a one-on-one match or when there are only two players remaining in a match.
He has a fighter ability called the Tension Gauge. It is a meter that charges up by moving towards opponents and hitting them. The meter allows him to use two Overdrive moves, along with the Roman Cancel, which can create a blast when shielding and pressing the special button. If he zones or acts passively, then the meter will be drained.
