Ryan Ford (formerly Unknown522) is a Canadian smasher and Fox main who was formerly ranked 1st on the Ontario Power Rankings and is widely considered one of the country's best Fox players. Ford was also ranked as the world's 15th best smasher on the 2013 SSBM Player Rankings.

Controversies

Ford was banned from Melee tournaments in Canada for one year starting in November 2013, primarily due to his sometimes violent conduct at tournaments. He has also been banned from the Apex tournament series starting with Apex 2013, following an incident where he placed American smasher Inui in a choke-hold in response to his constant heckling at NEC 13. Additionally, Ford caused further controversy with American smasher Mew2King in the semi-finals for Revival of Melee 5, in relation to splitting and accused bracket manipulation.

Return to Melee

After a long period of not attending tournaments and a discussion between Toronto's top players and TOs, it was decided in March 2015 that the ban on Ryan Ford should finally be lifted and he is once again allowed to attend Ontario events. He has made a strong comeback since then, winning the first weekly he attended (with n0ne in attendance) and placing very high at SWEET XX and Smash @ York #7, keeping up with Ontario's other top players. He has also since picked up new pocket characters, such as Mario, and regularly goes to various venues for friendlies, as well as hosting his own.
