Hi. I'm Ryan Ford from Toronto, Canada. Mostly known for being a long time top 50 SSBM player, as well as starting to be known as a variety speedrunner. I learned SMRPG in 2018, and learned a bunch of other games starting in 2020
Some newer viewers have been finding me though my SGDQ 2021 run
Also here's AGDQ 2024
I do not have a set schedule, but I often stream when people come over to play games or have some free time
Here are some Melee guides I wrote up over the last few years:
Fox vs Ice Climbers with timestamps
Fox vs Ice Climbers without timestamps
Here's all the montages I've made - most of the old ones are pretty bad video quality
If you like what you see and would like to support me, any donations are appreciated! Currently, funds will be just going towards supporting me
Never feel bad or obligated to spend money on me, but anything helps
Donations go to my Paypal. If there's a better app to use in Canada, let me know if you want
$1 minimum to activate TTS, or if you cheer 5 bits
I'm also doing SSBM coaching/lessons for $15USD/hr or $20CAD/hr
• Tier 1 - I'll think of something later
• Tier 2 - You can call 1 first to 5 set a week in SSBM + 10 minute video analysis
• Tier 3 - You can call for 3x first to 5 sets a week in SSBM + 20 minute video analysis. Whether you want to do them all at once that week, or spread 'em out is up to you
Also cheer a minimum of 5 bits to activate TTS. I didn't change the TTS moderation so idk what words it'll censor or not
For non-Melee players, I'm sorry I don't have any good perks atm. Doing a no reset run per 5 subs when I'm speedrunning

I have follower alerts off in case people want to just lurk, but I'll probably give you a shoutout if you're an active chatter
I can only speak English, so I'm sorry if there's a language barrier
Don't use my stream as an advertising platform (doesn't mean you can't talk about your stream/event/etc, but y'know)
Don't get yourself banned (unless you really want to), try to use common sense. Though I'm pretty lax about a lot of stuff
Here's what I used for the games I learned
I also ask questions in each respective game's discord when I need further advice on something
A Link Named Slykbacc - for 3 of the layouts I currently use, along with the 522 sub badge
Chitman - For the ryanfoRd and ryanfoRdpog emotes!
Schmeez - For the RyanfoRdNojump emote!
Dasha Meowz - For the ryanfoRdTime emote!
Tsuinami - For all of the Cheese emotes!
Vanitas - For the Link's Awakening artwork above and for my splits
Everyone who's supported this channel! Would take me forever to name people, but I greatly appreciate it
I sometimes tweet when I'm about to stream
I upload some content every now and then. Melee Montages, techniques, speedruns, troll stuff, etc
