Overview

Guilty Gear's original poster character and creator Ishiwatari's nod to the lead singer of his favorite band: Freddie Mercury of Queen. Sol "Frederick" Badguy is a hard hitting, close range character with a variety of odd moves.

Sol thrives in the opponent's face with fast pokes, moves that go under others, and the best Dragon Punch period. His high/low mixup is very poor, but his tick throws, frame traps, and abundance of meter give him plenty of things to play with. Outside of his optimal range, he has some other decent midscreen tools, too. Though his main BnB, Sidewinder Loop, requires character specific precision, his combos are generally very freestyle and deal high amounts of damage. But in order to get to those combos, Sol players will need to play a bit tricky.

Pros/Strengths

Volcanic Viper: breaks through pressure, reversals, and punishes like no other DP in the game.
Good command throw which leads to guaranteed damage.
Very good 3 frame poke/5 frame anti-air (5K). All-around excellent Anti-Air.
High damage, meterless combos that knock down.
Punishing frame traps that lead to huge damage on counterhit.
Freddie Mercury reincarnate.

Cons/Weaknesses

Poor conversion and lacks threatening tools outside of optimal range.
Struggles against zoners.
Subpar mixup options which can make Sol very easy to read.
Limited pressure; generally wants to go for the mixup quickly.
