===Retirement===
On July 4th, 2019, Ally retired from Smash Bros. tournament play following increased scrutiny towards his former relationship with {{Sm|CaptainZack}}.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/AllyUltimate/status/1146635272261709824|title=Retirement}}</ref> This relationship had previously been a subject of discussion in March 2019 via allegations made by {{Sm|tamim}}, but at the time, CaptainZack apparently had access to the Twitter account of tamim and deleted the initial set of allegations, later adding that "nothing ever happened even close to that" when asked about the possibility of him and Ally having had a sexual relationship. On June 29th, however, CaptainZack tweeted and later deleted a photo of him holding a postcard up to his face with "Tamim was telling the truth." written on it.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.dexerto.com/smash/smash-pro-ally-retires-after-admitting-to-dating-16-year-old-775901|title="Smash pro Ally retires after admitting to lying about dating 16-year-old" - Dexerto}}</ref> At the time of their relationship, CaptainZack was 16 years old. Ally, born 1991, is over 10 years older than him.
Following Ally's retirement, [[Panda Global]]'s PG Stats team announced an internal evaluation, with the possibility of removing him from the upcoming [[Panda Global Rankings Ultimate|PGRU]].<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/ThePGstats/status/1146788729564139521|title=PGStats via Twitter.}}</ref> While it was eventually decided that he would be given a place on the PGRU, they opted to omit him from the X-Factor survey, list only his ranking and placement without a player card or blurb, and skip over him on the PGRU SmashCenter podcast on Twitch.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.redbull.com/us-en/pgru-spring-2019-10-1|title=Ally included on the PGRU}}</ref> At the same time, the Harassment Task Force announced that a statement had been delivered to tournament organizers advising a lifetime ban from competition for Ally.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/SSBConductPanel/status/1147143409448214529|title=SSBConductPanel via Twitter.}}</ref> The degree to which this ban applies, however, is controversial.

In ''Smash 4'', he played {{SSB4|Mario}} and is well known for his consistent punish and defensive/aggressive options that allowed him to take control of a match. He is adept for catching onto an opponent habits, allowing him to read airdodges and dominate his opponent through [[Hard read|hard reads]]. This is mostly exemplified through [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HDL303a3FE his match against {{Sm|ZeRo}}, the undisputed best player in the world] where he dissected the neutral game and downloaded his opponent. Besides his prowess in the neutral, Ally also was well known for his repeated usuage of Mario's up smash multiple times in a row due to it being extremely safe. This characteristic of the move allowed Ally to play very risky for a kill, yet still remained unscathed while getting into his opponent's head.

In ''Ultimate'', Ally reprises his old main {{SSBU|Snake}} and uses {{SSBU|Mario}} as a secondary. With Snake, Ally plays aggressively and places [[grenades]] in positions which will allow him a combo opportunity or a situation where Ally can take control. His clutch factor still remains with Snake ironically with the character's [[forward aerial]] to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBCTTrmkFes annihilate his opponents stock within a single read]. Along with this, he also utilizes Snake's powerful [[up tilt]] to secure kills, in semblance to his Mario [[up smash]] habit in ''Smash 4''. With Mario, he moreso plays the same as in ''Smash 4'', however does not repeatedly use Mario's up smash constantly due to the move being not as safe.
