Do you think the marina teen center would be down to host a small tourney? Or maybe a thing at the "monterey side" of the Laguna grande park?
You know, that's actually a really good idea. I've only been there once wayyyy back in the day back when I was a middle school Goof, but I'd be completely down to check in to it. If hypothetically we can get one there, would the players here be okay with the tournament being in Marina? Like I live here and even I know it's pretty out of the way and tiny lol.

I've not sure I've ever been to Laguna grande park (but given that this area is so small, I most likely have) but if you think something could work there, I'd be completely okay with that.

If everyone is in Monterey/Seaside and Salinas area, Marina is a perfect middle lol. Me and a friend would have like Project M sessions at the teen center for hours so I know we can play. In just not sure if they'd be down to host an event. As for the park, on the "Monterey side" (which is basically the other half of the pretty small park, there's a small party area with shade, tables, outlets, and a volleyball court. That would be perfect if people were feeling an outdoor thing would work

Hey, I just moved to Lemoore, which is dead center of Cali and in the desert where the sun is pierces the skin harder than a crossbow bolt at point blank. I don't know if that is part of this but yeah.

I would totally be down for that as I commute to Marina everyday for work.

I might be able to host something small at my house. I'm thinking something casual just to meet up and play. If people are down to bring like an extra tv or a wii and some controllers or just something to help out that would be great. If i get enough interest on this post I can start working something out. FYI i live in Salinas so keep that in mind if you have to drive into town. Also I'm thinking about 2 weeks from now as far as the time line goes.
What I can supply:
-At least 1 tv maybe more
-Wii with 4 controllers
-Melee
-PM

I can do with 2 weeks. I don't have a controller or a wii but I will be able to get it if given enough time. Not sure if you have a GC port or not but if not then, ill look to get one. As far as a TV, I'm not sure about that but I'll see what I can do.

Sounds good, thank you for showing interest! I don't have a GC port, but i can ask a friend if I can borrow his for the day.
PS I accidentally hit report on your comment instead of reply lol. Sorry about that. I hope no problems come from it.

Is there a facebook page for smash in the general area (I'm from Carmel valley) or is this thread pretty much all we got for trying to get people together to play smash?

Assuming you play melee, you can try the official norcal melee page.

Yeah it would be fun because there is no smash scene in Salinas. Just looking to have fun and meet some fellow smashers!
Made a post over their event page yesterday. If you see me, you may friend me if you want over there. I had made a new facebook account after shutting mines years ago so I am pretty much opened to smash players who want to hit me up.

Didn't show up to that one but if there is a next one seeing how it went smoothly, I think the person will end up hosting again. Likely not this week because he'd be overshadowed by the Mall's event @ GiC.

Hiya, I reside from the Watsonville area, I've gone to UCSC for the Fight Nights but I'm looking for something closer. I'm a bus ride away to Salinas. New to Smash 4 and willing to learn the game ground up, I generally come from a SFIV and KoF background.

Well 0hknee hosts tournaments biweekly on Saturdays around 1pm his own Garage. He has a facebook group called "Salinas Super Smash Bros 4" Its just a search away. He's hosting this Saturday. (see the link in post #115)

In Soledad (which is a ride on bus 21 IIRC From Salinas to King City) in a Pizzaria called "Gourmet Pizza" they have Game Nights and hold tournaments too. This Friday they will be holding a singles.

I have to apologize, for 0hknee's house its actually on the 3rd of October. But yeah no problem. I hope you can make it tomorrow in Gourmet Pizza.
No worries. Oct 3rd I'll remember. Ah that Gourmet Pizza sounds familiar, another guy (Marvel player) has been spreading the word around bout that event. I think he goes by DavidNerd.
