'''Alpharad''', or simply '''Alpha''', is a smasher from Norman, Oklahoma, who is currently residing in Los Angeles, California, who was put on the map by his series of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' montages on [[YouTube]] entitled ''How to Play 101'', as well as ''Story for Glory'', ''Challenge Mode'', and other series featuring a variety of games. He, along with YouTuber MagicScrumpy, helped develop the ''[[Melee]]'' mod ''Silly Melee'', which changes every character to have unique moveset changes, along with the addition of new stages. He used to be part of the ''Smash'' streaming crew [[Tourney Locator]], until he left on May 4, 2016<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/alpharadTV/status/727960346720243712|title=Alpharad confirming that he is leaving Tourney Locator}}</ref>.

*Occasionally, Alpharad | *Occasionally, Alpharad tends to not take local tournaments seriously, using characters such as [[Wario-Man]] during bracket matches or partnering with a random person for doubles matches.
