Slow, easily reactable overhead that probably won't open many people up.

Daisuke's Vision. The Original Install. Sol is the most well-rounded of the non-god-tier characters. He has a variety of solid options, but nothing that really makes him stand out as exceptional. The biggest strength he has going for him is his incredibly easy execution on his Infinites, both CC and fake.
Sol Sol is an aggressive slant on the shoto Short for "Shotokan" A character archetype defined by being similar in some way to Ryu from Street Fighter. Shotos usually have a horizontal fireball, an invulnerable reversal, and a forward moving special move. archetype with accessible execution.
- Volcanic Viper : Volcanic Viper is a great guard cancel and useful anti-air with the air unblockable property when charged. On top of that, it has very low recovery for an invincible reversal.
- DI Stacking: When given enough space, Sol can stack Dragon Install and charge to delete opponents with a powered-up Volcanic Viper.
- Strong Normals: Sol has a wide variety of normals for almost every situation, with his incredibly fast abare 5K and his long disjointed slashes.
- No Real X-Factor: Sol is the definition of a solid character in Missing Link and has no major weaknesses, even compared to the characters ranked higher than him. However, he doesn't have an aspect that pushes him to the heights of those top tiers.
Normals
- Damage
- A quantification of how a character's health bar is reduced when they are hit.
- Guard
- The act of defending against incoming attacks. Guarding either negates the damage from an attack entirely or reduces it to minor chip damage.
- Low
- Guarded against while crouching
- Mid
- Guarded against in either the crouching or standing state, but not while airborne
- High
- Guarded against in the standing state
- All
- Guarded against while crouching, standing, or while airborne
- Throw
- Cannot be guarded against, but only applies to grounded opponents
- Unblockable
- Cannot be guarded against
- Startup
- The time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame.
- Active
- The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent.
- Recovery
- The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking.
- On-Block
- A measure of frame advantage when the opponent blocks an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first.
- On-Hit
- A measure of frame advantage when the opponent is hit by an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first.

Sol's iconic DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.. Using either S or H will determine if the move travels a short distance or far. Minus on hit, but launches you very high, making punishes difficult. Also a real reversal, giving it practicality in that sense.
All versions of the move, regardless of level or button, will spawn a lingering projectile above Sol right as he becomes vulnerable again. It is difficult to hit with this projectile, since it doesn't connect from the rest of Volcanic Viper and is in an awkward location.
At Level 2, Volcanic Viper becomes air unblockable and gains an extra hit, dealing more damage. It also goes higher and farther.
At Level 3, it gains yet another hitbox for a total of 4 hits. Both the S and the H version appear to be identical, and both of them travel at the same angle as Level 1 H Volcanic Viper.Aerial Volcanic Viper

Infamous for being the easiest move to make a fake OTG infinite with. As a result, it's commonly used to cheese the AI and unlock characters, or to make a funny YouTube video about how broken the game is.
Outside of that, this is a solid move. It has instant startup and a lot of active frames, it can be made safe on block when spaced, and its virtually nonexistent recovery makes it safe to whiff. It can even net a tech chase afterwards. Solid option to throw out.Supers
