'''Professor Pro''' is an English [[smasher]] from London who mains {{SSBM|Fox}} in ''[[Melee]]'', currently ranked 1st on the [[London Power Rankings]], 2nd on the [[United Kingdom Melee Power Rankings]], 5th on the [[European Melee Power Rankings]], and 72nd on the [[SSBMRank 2023]]. He quit maining {{SSBM|Peach}} in 2008 and has gone on to main Fox exclusively. Since then, he became known as one of the best Fox players in Europe, as well as one of the most technical. He had a notable set win at {{Trn|Paragon Los Angeles 2015}} against {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, winning 2-1, and also defeated {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-2 in winners finals of [https://www.start.gg/tournament/kickstart-7/event/melee-singles/brackets/18609/62245 Kickstart 7], although he lost the following two sets in Grand Finals. His other notable wins include {{Sm|S2J}}, {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|Swedish Delight}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Ice}}, and {{Sm|n0ne}}.

Professor Pro is also well known around the world for his performance with his {{PM|Snake}} in ''[[Project M]]'', achieving strong tournament placings and pushing the ''PM'' Snake [[metagame]]. He is considered to be the best ''Project M'' player outside the United States. Professor Pro was formerly ranked 12th on the [[PMRank 2016]].

He started playing ''Melee'' when the game came out with his friend Andre, but when he found out the advanced techniques in around April 2007, his friend decided to retire from ''Smash'', while he carried on playing it and joined in with the competitive side of the game. He caught the eyes of VwS Gaming (previously known as Reign eSports) and was picked up by their team, where he further expanded his ''Smash'' career. He left VwS Gaming on January 3rd, 2017<ref>https://twitter.com/ProfessorProUK/status/816374712544722944</ref>.

Professor Pro retired from active competition on August 6th, 2023.

==Tournament history==
Professor Pro gained recognition as a top professional ''Project M'' player at [[B.E.A.S.T 4]], where he took 2nd place in the ''Project M'' tournament after defeating {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-2 in losers' finals and bringing {{Sm|Armada}} to game 5 in grand finals before losing the set 2-3. He then became the first player ever to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pTXx7ns864 take a set off of] Armada in a ''Project M'' tournament during Smash or DI winners' finals, which he won 3-1, although Armada still ended up defeating him 3-1 in two consecutive sets of grand finals to take the tournament.

Professor Pro later attended his first North American tournament at [[SKTAR 3]], where he took 3rd place in ''Project M'' singles, defeating players such as {{Sm|Junebug}} and {{Sm|Strong Bad}} in winners' bracket, and also taking out {{Sm|Mew2King}} 3-2 in winners' semis, before losing to {{Sm|Emukiller}} 1-3 in winners' finals and then to Mew2King 0-3 in a rematch in losers' finals. He also placed 7th in ''Project M'' doubles with Strong Bad. One notable event that occurred at the tournament was a $100 [[money match]] between Professor Pro and {{Sm|Rolex}}, in which Professor Pro ended up winning 4-2, solidifying his position as the best ''Project M'' Snake player in the world at the time. In addition, he managed to place 17th in Melee, defeating {{Sm|Flow}}, {{Sm|CIZ}} and {{Sm|Qerb}}.

Professor Pro's second North American tournament was [[The Big House 4]] five months later. In the top 32 bracket of ''Project M'' singles, he swept through winners', defeating {{Sm|Westballz}} 2-0, {{Sm|Oro?!}} 3-0, {{Sm|ZeRo}} 3-2, and Mew2King 3-0 to make it to grand finals against ZeRo. After losing a very close first set 2-3, he lost the second set 0-3, placing 2nd in the tournament. In ''Project M'' doubles, he teamed with Armada and made it to the top 8 bracket from winners' before losing to {{Sm|Junebug}} & {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} 0-2 and then to Oro?! & {{Sm|Ripple}} 0-2, placing 5th. In Melee he notably defeated {{Sm|Kels}} in winners before losing to {{Sm|Hax}} and {{Sm|Bladewise}}.

==Trivia==
*Professor Pro is well recognized for his proficiency in the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} matchup in ''Melee'', with a 3-1 set record in his favor against {{Sm|Nintendude}}, as well as wins over {{Sm|Wobbles}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Dizzkidboogie}}, and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}.
*Up until his retirement in August 2023, Professor Pro was continuously ranked 1st on the [[United Kingdom Melee Power Rankings]] since December 2014, a testament to his longevity as a competitor.
