He was ranked at the 0 position on the final [[Quebec City Power Rankings|Quebec Brawl Power Rankings]], and 1st on the final [[Michigan Power Rankings|Michigan Brawl Power Rankings]]; he was also ranked 8th on the [[2014 SSBBRank]], the final global ranking for ''Brawl'' before the release of ''Smash 4'', and was formerly ranked 14th on the [[2016-2017 SSBBRank]].

His crowning achievement was winning [[EVO 2016]], the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|largest]] ''Smash 4'' tournament of all time. Among his many ''Smash 4'' rankings include being ranked 3rd on the final [[Canada Smash Ranking]] while being ranked 1st prior, formerly ranking at the 0 position on the [[Montreal Smash 4 Power Rankings]], ranking 1st on the discontinued [[Midwest Smash 4 Power Rankings]], and was formerly ranked 2nd on the [[Michigan Smash 4 Power Rankings]].

Ally is the sixth player to take a set off of ZeRo in Smash 4, and the second to eliminate him, doing so at [[Get On My Level 2016]]. In addition, he is the first player to eliminate him at multiple tournaments, achieving this again at [[Smash 'N' Splash 2]], [[Super Smash Con 2016]], and [[GENESIS 4]]. Ally is also the player with the most amount of set wins against ZeRo, with an astounding eight victories against him in bracket.

On August 18th, 2016, Ally was signed by [[Cloud9]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cloud9.gg/news/ally-joins|title=Cloud9 signs Ally}}</ref> Over a year later, on April 3rd, 2018, Ally and Cloud9 parted ways.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/AllyUltimate/status/981233921928114177|title=Cloud9 and Ally part ways}}</ref>

Ally's playstyle is characterized through decisive smart decision-making and a tendency to take risks, which allow him to clutch out a game or make a comeback.  

===''In Smash 4''===

He played {{SSB4|Mario}} and was well known for his consistent punish and defensive/aggressive options that allowed him to take control of a match. He was adept for catching onto an opponent's habits, allowing him to read air dodges and dominate his opponent through [[hard read]]s. 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 usage 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.  

Ally reprises his old main {{SSBU|Snake}} and uses {{SSBU|Mario}} as a secondary. With Snake, Ally plays aggressively and places [[grenades]] in positions that would allow him a combo opportunity or a situation where Ally could take control. His clutch factor still remains with Snake's [[forward aerial]] to [https://youtu.be/qBCTTrmkFes?t=1037 annihilate his opponents' stock with 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 more so plays the same as in ''Smash 4'', however, he does not repeatedly use Mario's up smash constantly due to the move being not as safe.

===Rise to Fame===

Ally first gained prominence at his first United States tournament nearly a year after the release of Brawl at [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=215698 Cataclysm 4], placing 3rd after losing to {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Azen}}.

*Ally is {{Sm|Holy}}'s younger brother, who he used to almost always team up with for doubles events.  

*Ally, along with {{Sm|Nairo}}, are the only competitive players to have won a major in three different Smash Bros games before their retirements, with wins in ''[[List of major tournaments (SSBB)#Players who won a major|Brawl]]'', ''[[List of major tournaments (SSB4)#Players who won a major|Smash 4]]'', and ''[[List of major tournaments (SSBU)#Players who won a major|Ultimate]]''.

*Ally and fellow {{SSB4|Mario}} main {{Sm|ANTi}} are known for exaggerating Mario's weaknesses, which later became a meme on [[Twitter]] and in [[commentary]].

*Due to his humorously inflammatory comments on social media, Ally is often considered one of the premier trolls of the ''Smash'' community, as evidenced by {{Sm|Coney}} dubbing him the "Twitter terror" at {{Trn|Pound 2016}}.

*In 2012, Ally temporarily went under the alias '''Axis''', where he then announced his "retirement" from ''Smash'' and had "Axis" emerge shortly after, in a similar fashion to {{Sm|Mango}}'s "Scorpion Master" alias when he mained {{SSBM|Mario}} in ''[[Melee]]''.

*{{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}} was Ally's worst placing at a ''Smash 4'' tournament in his career, placing 65th, defeated by {{Sm|Ralphie}} before forfeiting in Losers. This is tied with his worst ''Project M'' placing, 65th at {{Trn|Paragon Los Angeles 2015}}.
