| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Alpharad, or simply Alpha, is a smasher from Norman, Oklahoma who is most famous for his series of Super Smash Bros. 4 montages on YouTube titled How to Play 101, as well as Story for Glory, Challenge Mode, and other series featuring a variety of games. He helped develop, along with MagicScrumpy, 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. Almost two months later, however, he would be picked up by Panda Global.

Trivia
- 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. He also uploaded a video of him at a tournament playing by himself as Wario-Man in doubles.
- Alpharad started a second let's play channel along with fellow youtuber Dad as Heck called Friends Without Benefits
