Smashers!



It's about time that we made some sort of step towards organizing the competitive smashers at this school. I'm sure that some of you will crawl out of the woodwork in finding this thread, and hopefully, we can get together a good sized group of people with whom we can organize some fests. If you find this thread, get a hold of any of your smash enthusiastic friends and lets get this thing going!

You should try putting flyers around campus or something.

Sounds like flyers would be a good idea. On the bulletin boards in the buildings maybe? And get your buddies to subscribe to this thread so we can get some names up on this board. I'll go ahead and add you guys if you wanna tell me your tags, main/secondary characters, and first name.

Alright, I added on the OP. Once we get a good few people together, we can go ahead and start putting together some fests and stuff. I'll go ahead and make a flyer when I go to the CHSS lab so that we can get the word out.

EDIT: I'm gonna go ahead and put my phone number up. if you wanna put your numbers up as well that'll be cool. Either way, gimme a call next time you guys get together and i can come see what yall are made of haha

I currently attend SHSU and live very close to campus. However, I cannot stand Brawl. Let me know if there is ever a get-together for Melee. I am very out of touch, but I would love to start playing Melee again.

Though I enjoy melee, I highly doubt we will have a get together of the sort because I am, I believe, the only who ever got into it. Furthermore, i wasn't good at melee when I WAS playing, so by now i must be terrible, and I spend my time training for brawl anyway.

On another note, when project M comes out, I will probably reignite the flame, until then though, I have serious doubts.

I cant wait for Project M. Only then will I play Brawl.

I was a big Melee player before Brawl came out. I went to several Brawl tournaments when the game first came out, and placed very well in every single one. I did not enjoy one bit of it. The game is too vastly inferior to Melee in every way.

Edit: I remember a 60 man tournament in which I got top ten by forward tilting with Snake and doing little else.

I see. So essentially you dislike that your experiences weren't nearly as competitive as they were in melee?

Well if you would like to join us one day, I assure you the metagame has advanced a WHOLE lot in the last 3 years, and I have serious doubts that snakes (admittedly broken) ftilt will win you any games on it's own. Once again, when project M comes out i'll be getting back into that and most likely entering tournaments in both project M and brawl. Maybe if you come by one day, we can pop in the old melee for a few games, but I have very very serious doubts that I will be any good on any level. It's been a long time.

I am not viable in Melee for the same reason, its been years since I played the game like I use to. I have to disagree with you on the metagame part... I'm sure its different from when I played, but the game isn't deep enough for the changes to drag the game up to Melee's standards, not even close. Regardless, I appreciate the invitation, remind me after this semester is over during the Holiday break. At the moment, I am sure we are all very busy considering this is finals week.

EDIT: When I did play, I used Snake and Toon Link.

You're right, it isn't quite as competitive as melee was, but I think there's more depth then you're giving it credit for. And yeah, we probably won't be doing much smashing in huntsville until next semester.

My friend and I go to SHSU, but we only really play melee and are kinda rusty.

If you have any Brawl tournaments with Melee on the side we would definitely play that.
This topic is a little dead though, and I don't think most of us check SB too often. Someone should make a Facebook group or something for SHSU smash players.

I am about to leave SHSU for good after this semester, if you guys want to squeeze in a few matches of Melee before the end of this semester let me know. I am very rusty too. Let me know if you are interested.

My name is Jake D'Eramo and I would like to join. Some of y'all know me from the SSBB Tourney at Creager House in January. I'm pretty good at brawl and I'm good with quite a few characters (MK, ZSS, Link, Fox, Sheik, and Falco).

You're from Kingwood gamma?
What year did you graduate?

Also my 2 cents about Brawl, I played it competitively for a year, but I ultimately just found it too gay.
Too many of the awesome aspects of Melee were removed. I can appreciate that its still deep in its own way, but I need my shield pressure, combos, L-canceling and wavedashing. European brawlers have demonstrated that you don't have to camp to win either.
But <3 Project M.

I still do and I have a group of five smash players including me. We're dying to find some new opponents. We play Melee and PM 3.02 but not Brawl anymore and don't play online anymore. I'm going to delete this account and get a new one with a different username and thinking about making a facebook group for both smash bros melee and PM.

Great!!! Me and a few buds played int the PM tourney yesterday at Insomnia Video Games. They did okay but I placed in the top 8. So, we really psyched to find more players as good or better than us. Here's my number: (713)825-7509 just give me a call and if I don't answer just leave a message verifying who you are and about Smash.

Hey whats up guys :) I go to SHSU and love playing PM. I dont know if anybody here may have met me, but I usually go by "Xcel" or just "X" when playing. This upcoming year will be my 2nd year going to Sam. I would love to meet and play with everybody here! .

Hey everyone. I'm basically new to the idea of competitive smash and would love to find a group of people I could play with whenever the next semester starts. I play all 4 smashes, though I'm really only looking to be really competitive in PM right now and 4 whenever that comes out. I'll always be down for playing any of them though.

Weekly smash once the new semester starts sounds awesome. I move up there in the fall and play melee and Project M. I don't really play brawl or 64 however.

I only know a couple of guys who play smash, but I don't know of any established group yet except for the few who have already posted on this thread, and that was months ago. We could try talking to the gaming club and seeing if there's anyone in there that would be interested.

Sounds good. I don't move up there until August but I am totally up for getting something going and making a group to Travel for tournaments as well as just hang out.
