'''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 {{Sm|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>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/alpharadTV/status/727960346720243712|title=Alpharad confirming that he is leaving Tourney Locator}}</ref>. However, almost two months later, he would be picked up by {{Team|Panda}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaGlobal/status/748646569436602368|title=Alpharad joins Panda Global}}</ref>, and is currently their Creative Director. He currently has the most subscribers of any ''Smash'' content creator, with over 2 million as of December 2020. | |||

*Occasionally, Alpharad will not take local tournaments seriously, using characters such as [[Wario-Man]] during bracket matches or partnering with a random person for doubles matches. He also uploaded a video of him at a tournament [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bX397Ihduk playing by himself as Wario-Man in doubles]. | *Occasionally, Alpharad will not take local tournaments seriously, using characters such as [[Wario-Man]] during bracket matches or partnering with a random person for doubles matches.

*Alpharad | *Alpharad is the first ''Smash Bros.'' YouTuber to reach 1 million subscribers (although he has branched out to playing other games), achieving the feat on November 22, 2018. | ||
*Alpharad started a second Let's Play channel, along with fellow YouTuber Dad as Heck, called Friends Without Benefits. The channel has since added three more YouTubers known as Weegee Plays, Deezus, and Major Duncan, and has reached over 150,000 subscribers. | |||
**However, on August 21st, 2018, Alpharad announced that he was going to leave Friends Without Benefits, saying he no longer felt that he fit in; he did one more Let's Play with each member of the group before leaving. <ref>http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqknol</ref> | |||
*Alpharad currently has four channels, the others being Alpharad Plus, now rebranded to Alpharad Deluxe, in which he uploads content that is typically unedited; Alpharad Replay, which is used as a stream archive; and Not Alpharad, in which he uploads very short comedy videos and snippets of his life. | |||
